Series VI                                                                                      

 

51)           The social maximum is the individual minimum.  The individual maximum is the social minimum. J

 

52)           Constant remembrance is the earlier stage of being conscious.5

 

53)           He who has imperfectly completed the ascent and is in the process of descent, by the law of contradictions, will face the corresponding step in the ascent. E.g. when he who has acquiesced in mild corruption becomes the instrument to eradicate corruption, he will face in his son the desire to become rich by corruption.J

 

54)           Mother’s Consciousness raises the level of innate intelligence. It also gives appropriate higher skills and talents. &

 

55)           To be conscious is to be conscious of one’s soul. For the devotees, it means he must be conscious of The Mother inside. 5

 

56)           When life does not instantaneously respond, it means the time has not come. J

 

57)           An act is the unit of life. An act of shooting a ball into the ring is a result of gravitation, an expression of Newton’s law of motion. It is determined by the skill, energy, and experience of the player. It is governed by the part of the ball, the ring, the other players, the spectators and every thing in its universe. J

 

58)           This yoga does not need a concentration that shuts off the senses, but one that will take the sadhak away from the surface and into the subliminal. &

 

59)           The thinking ego falling silent can move to the Purusha. This is moving from Time to Timelessness. You can be either in Time or Timelessness. How to go to the Psychic from Purusha? Or from Prakriti?   Move from Time to Timelessness without losing hold of Time. Thus you do not move to Purusha, but to the psychic which is in the simultaneous integrality of Time and Timelessness. &

 

60)           The greatest advance science can make now is to know mind as they know the body. 5

 

61)           The eternal freedom expresses itself as choice in action. 5

 

62)           When one stops thinking and stops acting, one moves from Time to Timelessness. 5

 

63)           To know mind, ego, Time, Infinity, memory as we know the body, history and geography will make our partial knowledge complete. J

 

64)           Transformation of Matter:  Instead of Mind seeing Divine through senses, if the Supermind in matter sees the Divine through Force and not Form, Matter will reveal to itself as Sat. &

 

65)           Human choices exercised in adversity, being those of the physical, are the valid choices. J

 

66)           Creative men take a material or a circumstance and produce more than what it ordinarily brings out. To create infinitely out of NOTHING is spiritual creativity. 5

 

67)           Wrong could not come where all is light and love. &

 

68)           There is no choice in Time or Timelessness. You are overpowered by the plane and forced to be there. Only in their simultaneous integrality is there the choice, the choice to be there, master of both Time and Timelessness. 5

 

69)           The Force acts only when our attention is turned away. It is a supramental realisation that can allow the Force to act when one is still conscious. &

 

70)           Punctuality makes one think of work and more importantly, of the other men with respect to work. It widens the personality thus. J

 

71)           Intelligence is the youngest and brilliant child of material Energy.  – Sri Aurobindo  &

 

72)           The ideas of the next century expressed through the attitudes of obedience of the previous century will help in receiving the FORCE now. 5

 

73)           The yogic surrender Sri Aurobindo speaks of is an act. At some stage, it ripens into an attitude, an inner attitude through which all acts flow. It is then one is said to have the yogic consciousness. &

 

74)           The body learns. This means it gives its stored power to the process of comprehension thus making knowledge power. 

   For integration, the body should think and mind should act while            the emotion should energise both.

Sri Aurobindo wants the psychic to be materialised, the body supramentalised and mind and emotions turn into light and love.&

 

75)           The Many seek; the One exists. 5

 

76)           Revolutions in society come to be stable when the social organisations, customs, usage, culture and their individual versions absorb the spirit of the revolution and restructure themselves. This is eminently reflected by the literature of those periods. Conversely, literature can anticipate the revolutionary fervour and lead the society for a bottom up effort, which when accepted by it will change revolution into social evolution. J

 

77)           He who reaches moksha reaches God above; he who reaches the psychic becomes God on earth. &

 

78)           Is divine Love unemotional? Or does that emotion turn into devotion? Is the highest vibration of Love felt in the physical gratitude that thrills the body? 5

 

79)           It is the ego that takes initiative. Its initiatives are for self-preservation. In its absence, the soul is awake, but does not take initiative. It lies in wait for the higher impulsion. 5

 

80)           One man’s perfection can save the world.           Sri Aurobindo
One man’s choice can open the opportunity for the Millennium.
5

 

81)           Expectation is reliance on the external. J

 

82)           Egolessness can be seen if one is capable of no sorrow or disappointment. &

 

83)           He who vainly sought for the hand of human friendship all his life, scarcely is able to know that the Divine has been waiting for his Love to be accepted all the while. 5

 

84)           Durability is consciousness self-involved in its substance. 5

 

85)           Civilisation is social manners replacing social control. Culture is conscience replacing social manners. J

 

86)           Each happening is a deep experience. &

 

87)           Human depravity is God’s most powerful weapon to demolish the human selfish sensitivities so that Becoming of Nature will yield place to God’s Force of transformation through double opening.  Depravity destroys barriers to double opening. 5

 

88)           When essential knowledge is acquired, it helps one forget the details. Essence itself can be lost when it turns into its own potentials.

The Being expresses its truths and powers. Details are the powers, the truths are the potentials. One can transcend the truths too by identifying with the Being. 5

 

89)           Effort implies denial of comfort. J

 

90)           To accept the responsibility of irresponsible people is consciousness responsibility. 5

 

91)           The choice to be most successful must be made from faith which alone can have all the positive energy. Shakti, Viryam, deiva Prakriti are the earlier stages of effective energy. They are energies of temperament, emotions and vital psychic. 5

 

92)           Willingness to change from objective analysis to subjective synthesis is the first break from physical mind. 5

 

93)           The objectivity of the scientist is physicality of mind. J

 

94)           Goodwill for oneself overlooks the ill will of others, even humiliation or punishment since work needs to be done overlooking those barriers. Good will for others that can similarly overlook the same barriers when no benefit is to be derived, accomplishes in the heart a niche for The Mother. 5

 

95)           When there is a need to act, do not act, call Mother. &

 

96)           Mother is far away from us for our call to be effective. But Her Presence is closest to us in the person of the rival, the refractory child, the hateful gossiping member in our society. As long as we refuse the close presence, Mother remains far away. &

 

97)           Implicit obedience of loyalty is spiritual manners. 5

 

98)           When there is an occasion to think, stop thinking and call Mother.&

 

99)           Jails are not places to be abhorred and shunned. Our peaceful life in the town is made possible because all the criminals are shut up in the jails. J

 

100)         To the human eye, the accused and the convict in the jail are sinners who deserve our sympathy or compassion. To the All-vision, the world-being is one. One part of it, perhaps the better, comes forward to express the negative side of the world personality so that the positive side can grow in other individuals. The sinner makes the virtue of the virtuous possible. He is not to be condemned and shunned. He is our other opposite part which is indispensable for our growth. 5
