DAILY MESSAGE Series V 751)
Children jump
by excess physical energies. Man can have excess spiritual energies in the
mind. p 752)
Appreciation of
HIS works needs a trained, disciplined intellect that
has a quest for God, knowledge of life and subtle life and an awakening into
the occult. p 753)
No one who does
not have knowledge of life and a knowledge of subtle life can appreciate the
knowledge of All Life is Yoga. p 754)
The highest
objective knowledge is at best the subjective knowledge of consciousness.
What is truly objective to Man is subjective to his Being, the self-Existent.
& 755)
Faith is a
reflex in lower consciousness of a Truth which is yet unrealised. That truth
is the real idea. The Gita expresses it as 'yo yach shraddhaha sa eva
saha.' & 756)
Endurance and
indifference lead to equality. Endurance of the involved mind, indifference
of the detached witness Purusha and equality of the transcendent infinite are
the stages of progress. & 757)
Ananda is there
in mobility as well as immobility. Sat Purusha's action with Prakriti can
give Ananda as well as Sat Purusha's rest with its consciousness of Prakriti.
Either way, Ananda is the sensation of Purusha's relation with Prakriti. & 758)
The rich have
rich potentials as riches are a great potential. The poor have a potential
equally great. Theirs is the untapped potential. Potentials are always there and they are
infinite. p 759)
Insight and
intuition can be understand and appreciated by the people after they produce
results and if explained as Sherlock Holmes is able to explain. p 760)
What makes
human life sweet is implicit trust.
Trust grows in a soil where suspicion has no roots. µ 761)
He who loses
the appearance of the temporal and takes it to be external develops the
illusion of the sentiment. Nostalgia is his ideal. µ 762)
Popularity is
approval of public appreciation which at no time is high. A man grows in
value only when he is out of reach of public comprehension. µ 763)
If work does
not move after prayer, it means there is irresponsibility and laziness. µ 764)
To make freely
available to man what he is willing to work to death to achieve and
withdrawing is a strategy to move the society. µ 765)
Man reaches out
to what is freely available, not what he needs to work for. When he is made
to understand that what he thus most aspires for is to be worked for, the
society is astir. µ 766)
Total vision is
that which sees the least thing we do total. As long as the small is
incomplete, the great cannot be completed.& 767)
Efficiency was
possible only by terror. It was succeeded by capital punishment. Later the
punishment became less. Now it is by law and incentive. Democracy matures
only when efficiency is self-offered because of self-respecting values. µ 768)
Ready and
willing acceptance of the circumstances that are around you and those that
you have courted with the theoretical understanding that it is the very best
situation for your progress, is the frame of mind that can secure the maximum
progress. µ 769)
Nature is
working through parts -- unity, Truth, Goodness, knowledge, Will, Love -- to
reach a whole result. It is working for absolute justice through partial
injustice. Man who is centered in the part looks for immediate results,
partial justice, result in the part. No wonder he is frustrated, disappointed
and feels the injustice every time. & 770)
Thorough
knowledge of a field in a rational man of common sense may now be ignored. If
he is touched by this comprehensive knowledge, straightaway he will win the highest
international recognition. µ 771)
The external
pressure changing into a mental perception is the force of civilisation.
Culture is its becoming an individual's value. Society raises itself when it
acquires that culture collectively. µ 772)
Mind divides
the infinite into infinitesimals of the Inconscient. The process of division
cannot go further as it would revert from matter and force to consciousness
and being. 773)
No act can hurt
us; no one's enjoyment even if at your expense can hurt you if the ego is
shed. What is hurt is the ego. There is no faculty in us except the ego that can be
hurt. p 774)
Excess energy
and lack of opportunities to grow result in conflicts. µ 775)
Lust for money
is mostly due to seeking social acceptance. When society loses its value for
money, the lust will not be there. µ 776)
Health, not
weight, should improve. Culture should rise, not merely economic materialism.
µ 777)
He who wants to
shed his ego, starts serving another's ego in the name of altruism. & 778)
It is
demonstrated time and again that for one who takes the fullest effort to
avail of social opportunities, it is possible for the lowest person to reach
the highest position. Inherently society is capable of the maximum
possible support to anyone. µ 779)
The divine
delight is ever-present and everywhere. Man's pleasure seeking has insulated
him from the ocean of delight.& 780)
Truthfulness,
generosity, affection or any other value can faithfully serve selfishness. Any attitude can be served by any value irrespective
of its character. µ 781)
As the world
displaced the clergy, monarchy, superstition, inequality, and slavery, now it
should endeavour to replace intellectuality by faith. & 782)
Advice is
unheeded only on two occasions: When the giver does not
himself practise it; 783)
Only after one
works from his physical substance -- doing the wearisome work enjoyably --
one can hope to turn inward from outside. The true being emerges after
the deepest physical loosens its hold.& 784)
Informal
education and formal learning create all the potentials in the society. A
further capacity is needed to convert that potential into usable results.
That comes neither by informal learning nor formal education, but it needs
imaginative perception that sees the process of learning, education and
civilisation. p 785)
When thought is
disturbing or displeasing, one is poised for crossing the physical barrier of
the mind. p 786)
Mental barrier
is effectively crossed when the desire to understand disappears.
p 787)
Real knowledge
dawns when understanding is not insisting.& 788)
Intuition
shifts inside when the touch of the Absolute is sensed.& 789)
When it comes
to one's intense desire about which he is sensitive, he is unable to call
Mother except for its fulfilment.& 790)
He who can
leave it to Mother is a true devotee. & 791)
To do so is to
cross the vital barrier. & 792)
To cross the
physical barrier one must be able to appreciate the beauty of the cobra and
the marvel of the thorny plant. Then he will appreciate his rival's need to
betray him. & 793)
The active
thinking mind cannot see the pattern along which things are organised or its
structure or its essence. Only the silent mind can do so. & 794)
Thought matures
into light in silence. & 795)
Light removes
itself from knowledge making intuition reveal itself. & 796)
Development:
the world has not developed the right idea of development which is -- man is
the centre, not his instruments. 797)
Fashion offers
education through prestige. µ 798)
The vital
educates itself through prestige of fashion. µ 799)
Urbanisation is
the process of education of the rustic. µ 800)
The lowest
point of a mental man is a confusion, the vital man a knot of sorrow, the
physical man is a disease. Overcoming that, each man makes a great
unimaginable progress. p |
