DAILY
MESSAGES Series III 801)
Flatness
is the enjoyment of the physical of its lifeless routine which the vital
resents. 802)
Human
mentality is separative human ignorance labouring towards identical
knowledge. * 803)
Life
is the determinant of the embodied being, not the body or the soul. ÁõÌÄ ãÁÝøh¯
ø©¯®. 804)
Energy
is the determinant of our faculties, not the faculties themselves. 805)
In a
condition of reversal, the faculties will be the determinant of energy and
the being the determinant of life. **
806)
The
small being appreciates offence; offends appreciation, worse still, suspects. 807)
Mother’s
methods and principles fully followed usher one into yoga. As SHE
is moving towards us, in any single work, however small it is, it is possible
to reach the heights for purposes of fulfilling it. In it ALL
that She speaks is included. Only that we are unconscious of the process and
conscious of the result. 808)
Purity
of service and heroism in the battle reveal the Divine in life. * y´ø©¯õÚ
÷\øÁ²®» õ©õÚ ö\¯¾® ÁõÌøÁ¨ ¦Ûu¨£kzxQßÓÚ. 809)
To
know the other man’s point of view is to know the world as a marvel for each
one of them. It is only in God’s point of view that the world will be a
marvel to us. 810)
The
need for another makes us see his strength, overlooking his defects. The need
for another’s soul for our soul sees neither strength, nor weakness, but only
the relationship. 811)
Each
soul’s God-awareness enables him to relate to the soul of another. 812)
The
relationship with another soul is different from the soul experience of
God-awareness. (The relationship with another soul is a different soul
experience from God-awareness.) 813)
Man
plays the game of life as he plays a game of cards. To know Mother, the
Supramental plane that has determined everything on earth, is to play the
same game of cards as if you knew everyone’s cards. 814)
The
spirit that seeks release seeks the infinite spirit above. The spirit that
seeks evolution first becomes infinite. ÷©m\® AÚ¢uøÚ
|õkQÓx. £›nõ©® AÚ¢uÚõQÓx. 815)
No
man would agree to aim at a joy a whit less than the maximum possible in his
present understanding. 816)
Any
new ideal can only show him a higher one is possible. 817)
Disease,
frustration, failure, pain and all the ills of humanity we now witness are
for the individual the source of an ardent aspiration towards which his whole
energy is exercised through the maximum possible organisation of his
consciousness. 818)
It
may be a social tragedy but not an individual tragedy in the evolutionary
sense. 819)
Should
the question, ‘Why should we try to change the world at all?’ be raised, the
answer is that effort for the individual answers the above rule. 820)
After
reading The Life Divine, reaching
Light, still one becomes superstitious and strengthens the opposite.* What
decides is where your feet are planted, not what you know. Hence the
importance of nature. 821)
“I am
doing everything. Why is there no result?”
he[ii]
asked Mother. She opened both of her hands in despair because he had been
strengthening the opposite. 822)
Changing the roots is changing the attitude. 823)
When
the whole being accepts something, the gross becomes subtle and can even
become causal. 824)
Perfection
lies not in the gross or subtle but in the causal plane. 825)
Transformation
is integral change. Surface changing into inner; gross changing into causal;
matter changing into spirit; idea into Real-Idea; pleasure into bliss and
then into delight; relative into its Absolute and the individual realising
that he indwells the Supreme. 826)
The
Absolute and the relative are co-existent. 827)
The
Absolute is the relative; the relative is the Absolute. 828)
The
touch of the Absolute makes the relative absolute relative. 829)
The
relative that is only aware of itself is finite. ußøÚ ©mk®
En¸Áx ]Ô¯x. 830)
The
relative that is aware of its origin in the Absolute is infinite. uß Bvø¯
¤µ®©©õP En¸® ]Ô¯x ö£›¯uõS®. 831)
The
relative that is able to know it is the Absolute that has become relative is
Infinite. ußøÚ÷¯ ¤µ®©©õP
En¸® ]Ô¯x® ö£›¯uõS®. 832)
The
finite becoming infinite is evolution; its becoming Infinite is
Transformation. ]Ô¯x £›nõ©zuõÀ ö£›¯uõQÓx, v¸Ä¸©õØÓzuõÀ ¤µ®©©õQÓx. 833)
Ego
being ego, knowing its origin is Supreme; the Supreme knowing it is
disguising itself as ego are the corresponding several stages. 834)
Stupidity
insisting on its admirable wisdom is God’s laughing at Shankara since it is the
Absolute that took upon itself the aspect of stupidity ridiculing the
immaturity of human effort to change it. 835)
Stupidity
is in the gross plane; human effort that tries to change it can rise to the
subtle plane; stupidity that laughs laughs from the causal plane. 836)
Stupidity
taking initiative in areas where it has no knowledge is NOT stupid,
but it is its way of defence. 837)
The
best defence of a faculty, e.g. stupidity, takes on the appearance of its own
characteristic stamp. 838)
The
wisest act of self-preservation of stupidity heightens its quality of being
stupid. 839)
Any
faculty putting up the best defence does so by rising higher in its own
plane. 840)
HE means this when HE says
that to cure the disorders of a plane we must carry them to a greater height. 841)
The
finite becoming infinite and turning into the Infinite reveals all these
potentialities in any field. ]Ô¯uÝÒ ¤µ®©®
Esk. 842)
Cashbox,
grain store, etc. are not fully emptied ( xøhUPU Thõx) because the force that acts is the force
in the plane of grain and it needs continuity. Mother’s force is NOT
the force of grain and it is outside it. Therefore for Her there should be no
remainder left which is a hindrance for Her force. 843)
Training
benefits by method which increases efficiency. Originality cannot receive
training and cannot benefit by methods. 844)
Methods
when perfect can surpass content in appearance. (Brian’s presentation to ICPF). 845)
Surrender
is a method that is content itself. 846)
Surrender,
starting as a method reaches the content to become content itself by
identification. 847)
HE starts everything planting His feet in the Absolute,
keeping up the full appearance of the relative, leading them back to the
Absolute. 848)
In
surrender, concentration, evolution and all the methods and devices HE
employs HE keeps the appearance of the known to the
ignorant, changes its basis, character and leads him to the unknown starting
from the known. In none of these acts is there any trace of
the dead past, the finite. £PÁõÝøh¯ •øÓPÒ Põ»zøuU Ph¢uøÁ. 849)
The
past is dead. People cling to death by relying on the past. He brings the
past into the present and that is the only concession HE grants
the past, the right to lose itself like Freedom as the final law. 850)
The
values of social personalities will have their social version since values of
any plane express more of the plane than of itself. |
