DAILY MESSAGE Series V 601)
Opportunity is
that which man must seek at great effort and cost, while he is in a mental
state of being not willing to accept it even when offered for free. p 602)
Constant
remembrance is the result of ever-increasing surplus of Godward emotions. p 603)
He who values a
life of valuelessness is the king among heroes of dissipation. µ 604)
When Ignorance
combines with division, the result is inertia.& 605)
Mother first
relieves physical pain or distress. Next she removes humiliation. In the
second round, man courts them. p 606)
Man not only
ignores his defects, but is oblivious of them. He goes to the length of
wanting Mother to install his defects as the ruling authority. p 607)
He who needs
company submits himself to it and allows the demands of the company to
determine his life. µ 608)
Great acts must
be accomplished against the opposition of the beneficiaries. µ 609)
This is an
effort of people who are not human adults becoming evolutionary adults.
p 610)
Mother is a
spiritual tool of endless capacity. As the tool is in the physical plane, She
is in the vital mental planes enormous energy and endless resourcefulness. In
the spiritual plane, if admitted, She is transformation accomplished. p 611)
He who chooses
the highest value known to him at every instant makes the choice of unfailing
success. µ 612)
Harmony of
perfection rises when the individual inner psychological organisation is in
tune with the social organisation outside.
All problems arise out of the disharmony that rises in the gap between
them. p 613)
It is a human
tendency to inflict the suffering one underwent on others. Such a man will
never outgrow it. µ 614)
True repentance
reverses the emotions. It is a soul perception. µ 615)
True Goodness
is an inner strength. µ 616)
Sincerity
emotionalises the mental concept and thus gives a greater opening.
p 617)
Mind is weighed
down as it caries its past experiences; the psychic is not as it carries only
the essence.& 618)
When the
individual becomes the universal, possessive sensitivities turn into a wide
vibration of Ananda. & 619)
Humiliation is
the sensation of the positive finite receiving the touch of the negative
infinity. p 620)
A leader or an
idealist cannot get on with another of his type. Non-idealists dread
idealists to work with. Followers rarely understand the leader. So there is
no wonder that the idealist is left alone. The leader, though he is
surrounded by a crowd of his followers, feels lonely. µ 621)
All virtues are
only human versions, rather ego's versions of the higher consciousness. µ 622)
Work without
the knowledge of it is drudgery. If pushed beyond limits, it is violence.
Knowledge of the work we do that has reached the physical reveals the Brahman
in matter. What gives us interest in work is the desire for the
knowledge of it. µ 623)
The human
response is external as a positive symptom while the divine response is
internal as a settled calm or peace. p 624)
There is no
change from the lower to the higher, but transformation.& 625)
No tangle can
resolve in thought. It falls silent and changes into a marvel. Transformation
is an infinitely swift process. p 626)
Mind as it is
cannot know the process of transformation. It can know after it is
transformed, i.e. only Supermind can know it. & 627)
For the yogi:
experience first, knowledge next. For the scholar-yogi: knowledge that is experience can lead to
realisation. µ 628)
To see intense
love in utter hatred is yogic vision.& 629)
To know that
surface suffering is subliminal enjoyment, one should move to the
simultaneous plane where Time-eternity and Timeless eternity meet.& 630)
He who refuses
to see, enjoys not seeing. µ 631)
One who cannot
bring himself to hate can still refuse to love hatred. It is a difficult
transition for the human mind. µ 632)
A small motive
may sometimes serve a great cause. µ 633)
When Mother's
Consciousness comes through a low act or motive, it only means that that act
lends itself to transformation. p 634)
With Mother,
even an unpardonable act becomes a glorious one. p 635)
There is no
knowledge, including the knowledge of Supermind, which the world has not
received so far. µ 636)
If you are not
able to see you are God, at least see others are God. µ 637)
Karma working
out of temperament is a fertile field for observation. To see how Mother
wipes out karma still is a greater observation. µ 638)
The world is
created not for one man to correct another, but so that he can correct
himself. µ 639)
That which
always accomplishes is the physical. Especially the energy of the physical
impulse. If suppressed, it variously occupies itself, lying in wait for its
time. Mother asks it to be given to Her, so that real work can be done. This
is so because the highest present skill in MAN is the
subconscious physical skill of reproduction. Hence it is the only joy in
life. µ 640)
Man expects
total ideal Perfection from the one whom he wants to follow. In the
conditions of his existence, such a Perfection does not exist. His own
ignorance permits him to visualise such a Perfection. He gets the illusion
that he deserves. µ 641)
A crowded hour
is more suitable to practise surrender than a cloistered moment. µ 642)
Many devotees
have faith. Many others have no faith, but still follow Mother. Those who
have faith are like the partners of a company and those who have no faith are
like employees of the company. µ 643)
Man sees great
help coming from a higher plane. It never occurs to him the next time to seek
it, as it is not in his own plane. µ 644)
Memory does not
extend beyond one's plane, in spite of several experiences. Thought never reaches beyond its own borders, even
when experience is innumerable. The greatest paradox in man's life is it never
occurs to him to summon that very help which he has experienced times without
number. µ 645)
The capacity of
not being able (to think of the greatest known source of support) to think of
availing of the help directly is the measure of a closed mind. Man knows of a source of support, the greatest he
ever had, but it never strikes him to invite the source to deliver its help.
That happens when the source lies in another plane. µ 646)
As long as a
trait can express itself as an impulse, it is fully alive in the
subconscious. µ 647)
The very last
vestige of ego, is the ego of the impulse. p 648)
Human choice is
the greatest social innovation. Development is the evolution of choice. µ 649)
Consciousness
that ascends one level, descends to saturate the previous levels. Mind
achieves the same object by past consecration. p 650)
It is not
interesting to concentrate every time concentration is needed. It is better
that our normal status is one of concentration. p |
