DAILY
MESSAGES Series III 751)
External
behaviour and inner urges conflicting and compromising determines the outer
limits of civilisation and the scope of formation of individual culture. 752)
What
rules is the physical organisation precisely indicated by Life Responses
especially in advance of events. 753)
Man’s
spirit or mind trying to get the better of these physical forces initiates
the possibility of Mind ruling over Matter. 754)
At
the lowest, fear determines man’s actions that destroy social values and at
the highest, it is adventurous courage that opens up the scope for the
pioneer to advance the society. 755)
Selfish
persons and action-oriented men are secretive. Unselfishness or desire to
achieve mentally lead men to be frank and open. 756)
Pursuing
the infinite possibilities positively or negatively, man becomes a vibhuti or
avatar or a rakshasa; pursuing both, one becomes the evolving godhead on
earth. 757)
No
one, not even the genius understands another man fully because he is unable
to understand himself fully. 758)
To
understand another man fully, one needs to be situated in his subliminal. 759)
What
matters to man is self-preservation. What matters to God is upholding the
ascent of the spirit which is spiritual evolution. 760)
Spirit
evolving towards its freedom is social evolution. 761)
Spirit
evolving in the society, rather the universe, is evolution of the spirit
which is its emergence out of material substance into spiritual substance. 762)
Release
of spirit demands dhyana; evolution of spirit demands refusal of dhyana. 763)
Dhyana
is an inner awakening of spirit when other parts are turned off. 764)
Spirit
that appears to be the most important part of man’s embodied being becomes
the least important when viewed from the totality. 765)
Spirit
is the first creation of the Absolute while Matter is the last emergence;
being last, it is the more important. 766)
Scale
of importance survives only in the order of priority, not in the totality of
existence. 767)
Importance
is a value of the finite. It does not survive in a field of infinity. •UQ¯zxÁ®

Surface
that is narrow and blind is the tip of evolution, not the universally spread
subliminal. 769)
Order
governed by law is the condition of accomplishment in that field. \õuøÚø¯ SÔ¨£x
\mh•® , JÊ[S®. 770)
Freedom
creates a field where neither law nor order can accomplish so that that which
issues freedom -- spirit -- can seek its goal of Delight. 771)
Disgust
is the non-evolutionary vital sensitivity that is negative. When transformed,
it becomes a sense of wonder at God’s marvel. 772)
Values
in a sector of society that is not organised are like morals in a refugee
camp. 773)
An
act can have consequences only in its plane and according to the laws of that
plane unless mind imposes itself on it. 774)
Ego’s
rule is it should be superior even in receiving. 775)
God’s
rule is even in giving He should be anonymous and invisible. Man’s
unconsciousness and ingratitude fulfill God’s aim. 776)
God’s
intention in the world will be fulfilled when the giver knows the privilege
of giving and the receiver knows how God enters him through receiving. 777)
To
expect the other man to receive as we intend is the counterpart of his
expecting the gift to be on his terms. 778)
Human
giving is as much for self-aggrandisement as the receiver’s greed. 779)
Divine
giving is to expand Himself into the receiver. 780)
Body’s
feeling of death arises not so much by age as by inner attitude. 781)
Work
draws one away from rich inner fullness; but, work done to express the inner
richness enriches the inner being. 782)
To
have inner richness is a great moment; to express it in work is next to
impossible. 783)
Trying
to express it in work, one comes head on against his grain. 784)
To
persuade his grain to accept the richness is to create psychic receptivity. 785)
To do
that successfully, one should meet the work personality and wean oneself away
from enjoying it or the habit of allowing it to continue. 786)
That
attitude is the attitude which creates aspiration, rather aspiration in work
itself. 787)
The
habit of calling reduces the usual dullness of occupation. 788)
Joy
in doing a habitual act shows the habit is deeply entrenched, entrenched
enough to touch the joy of existence. It is difficult to get rid of it. 789)
Joy
is the surest sign of growth. 790)
Age
does not wither the inner devotion; if anything, the devotion retards ageing. 791)
Great
expectations issue out of great inner emptiness. 792)
An
arch enemy turning into an ardent admirer is a known phenomenon in Mother. 793)
What
a devotee accomplishes is possible for every other devotee since it is a
principle. 794)
Devotees
differ, the Force on each occasion differs; but the response of the devotee
to the Force is the same. 795)
What
one person refuses you, in time, a similar person will offer to you. The
individual may refuse to respond, but the type will always respond. 796)
These
are all Mother working through life, not Mother directly in you. ÁõÌÂÀ AßøÚ ö£›¯x, ÷|µi¯õPU PshõÀ Ax APsh®. 797)
Relying
on laws, one sticks to the plane of these laws. 798)
What
great projects are patiently prepared over the years, the same man who
prepared them can try to execute with haste. The inner is ready, the outer
not yet. 799)
Patience
can be dispensed with, but haste cannot be entertained. 800)
As
resistance drains, receptivity too can drain if it issues out of low
consciousness. |
