801)         Energies collected around an emotionally sensitive issue become seriousness that prevents one from attending to other works. J

 

802)         When violent persons are transformed, they become great powers, great enough to rule a country. J

 

803)         Events are contagious in the subtle plane even from the rival camp. Only neutral goodwill is the best bet. 5

 

804)         Man’s selflessness is the selflessness of selfishness. J

 

805)         Lack of satisfaction is more keenly felt than felt satisfaction on other scores because energies are on the move in one and not in the other. J

 

806)         Tradition splits life into good and bad, nice and dirty. Mother does not. We often see wrong thoughts shooting in in an excellent occasion and the opposite. It is an embarrassing emotion that we feel. They indicate the existence of opposites, rather coexistence. 5

 

807)         The yogi is called upon only to surrender and not do anything else. Sri Aurobindo said surrender is difficult. He said man cannot do this yoga; the only thing he can do is to surrender. &

 

808)         Sometimes we successfully clear a wrong atmosphere and feel the things are safe and have a feeling of security and safety inside. If there are very tiny lapses, it means what has gone may come back. Absence of such lapses and presence of major positive symptoms alone ensure the wrong atmosphere has gone. 5

 

809)         Involution acts through a self-ignoring faculty as it does through self-absorption. Mind separates itself from Supermind by it. When the emotions forget to think, they go down. There is such a factor at the points of transition from Sat to Matter. &

 

810)         Truth, goodness, sincerity, etc. are further elevated when elevated from the Mind that is always capable of withholding the last stages of belief. To do so is to change the typewriter into a computer or a rich nation into one that is spiritually rich too.5

 

811)         From the time of Jesus until today, people are attracted by miracles or prayers answered and do not go beyond. Attraction to material prosperity in Asia may compel them to fall back on their spiritual treasure. Attraction to Spirit in the West may upgrade their scientific thinking. A more immediate possibility is to recognise the new products Nature has given man through society and technology and use them appropriately, not like using a refrigerator to store shoes. J

 

812)         Great social innovations are often put to ridiculous use like the fridge of the Assam Minister or to a very partial use like the general education for vocational fitness. J

 

813)         Man is a doer. Knowledge is something understandable, not doable. For man to respond to any idea, the knowledge must be turned into a skill. J

 

814)         Jealousy, even if it has figured in the mind once as thought, is now capable of preventing the perfection of generosity. J

 

815)         Social fashions are sought after by the need to survive socially. Spiritual prosperity in life will be sought after if one sees the advantage in it. &

 

816)         The petulant response of the beneficiary at a time life is about to crown him, is the way the lack of energy finds expression. J

 

817)         To enjoy as the Lord enjoys, to see the Marvel, to acquire infinite prosperity are different stages. Still the higher is always found in the lower, raising the lower to richer expression. You Tube Discussion || Daily Discussions | Q&A| April 1, 2023

 

·      Infinite prosperity is available to human life as we see in the West, where it is accompanied by psychological insufficiencies.

·      Man can still achieve it without these defects.

·      This is an achievement in the physical plane by the mind trying to come out of its limitation.

·      Marvel is the vision in the plane of Forms when the vitiating influence of mind is overcome.

·      To enjoy as the Lord enjoys one must have moved from consciousness to Being. 5

818)         What matters in matrimony or friendship is not the differences but the basic harmony. In actual fact, the greater the differences within the scope of harmony, the greater is the intensity of friendship or marriage. J

 

819)         The scurrilous gossiper who destroys the reputations of good people acts as the thin wedge that enters to stay at times of transition. This is how a negative ‘institution’ serves a positive purpose. J

 

820)         The strong traditions of the society, the deep demands of culture and character are overcome by two irresistible forces. Crude, plain, energetic selfishness is one. The other is the impulse of the impetuosity that always seeks FRESH pastures or the freshness of the pastures. J

 

821)         Even supramental force here is administered by the ego. &

 

822)         When the spiritual Self-giving is received selfishly, it does not hurt. Rather, one is happy that it is, after all, received in some fashion. 5

 

823)         Society admires her who adores all children, not so when she adores many men. The  soul  only  adores  and  adores  the  adorer. 5

 

824)         Unless one is able to give his emotions to all, they will not be real emotions. We also know that the emotion which goes only to one is an emotion of loyalty worth having. In one sense, it is to pack the infinite in the finite. 5

 

825)         At the end of any work, if meditation overtakes one, the character of the act is of the higher consciousness and would not permit itself to be evaluated on moral terms. 5

 

826)         Every movement, every moment has its two ends of finite actuality and infinite potentiality. So, any act lends itself for us to move from the one to the other. 5

 

827)         Anything valuable becomes much more so when the level of cleanliness is increased since it brings the supramental consciousness on it. &

 

828)         The perfection required by the higher consciousness is so great that no plate can bump against the door, as it is a subtle equivalent of an earth tremor. 5

 

829)         Enjoyment remains enjoyment as long as it is justified and supported by the biological and sociological substance. Beyond that, it seeks compensation in the opposite. Centred in Mother, progress continues in right balance. Phineas Finn enjoyed the biological charms of his face expressed in the admiration of women. It was compensated by the psychological pain of the accusation of murder. J

 

830)         Whatever the mind understands, we overlook the direct simple fact that that knowledge is reduced to mental knowledge – Ignorance. Man insisting on understanding unconsciously insists on Ignorance. 5

 

831)         Better than calling Mother to solve our problems, we can call Her to dissolve our ego. &

 

832)         Mental silence, when achieved in any measure, is the beginning of a variety of spiritual blessings. Even a feeble attempt at it brings a great incursion of health and a greater inflow of income.J

 

833)         Incursion of greater energy without appropriate organisation means the excess will be wasted. In some measure, the excess energy goes to fortify the existing organisation – the ego. J

 

834)         The infamous feminine interference is Nature’s profoundest method of bringing the harmony of the heavens to the abundance of divine consciousness on earth. It is a move of the Timelessness to the simultaneous integrality. &

 

835)         Governments under the sway of the supramental force try their best to play the role of the welfare state. The Mother in the psychological plane does the same to the devotee for his well being. The citizen must avail of the government’s help, the devotee should emphasize the right side. &

 

836)         To us, many things like our TV, washing machine, books, computer, etc. are important. We cannot appreciate only one of them saying it alone must be used and nothing else. For any man, several relationships are indispensable. But when we are one of those, we are jealous of all the others the man has. If each person relates to him from the personal that is impersonal, he would feel that HE belonged only to him, though he would likewise belong to all in the universe. Personal in the Impersonal cannot feel jealousy which is egoistic. &

 

837)         Quarrels belong to the immediate present of the intense emotions. Harmony belongs to the mind that embraces the past and future wider than the emotional present. 5

 

838)         The wide purposes of Nature are accomplished by contradictions and a host of strategies such as cause and effect and their apparent reverse. Wisdom lies in understanding them, but their knowledge reveals the marvel. &

 

839)         Man learns from experience in the world. It is to learn from Becoming, an objective knowledge. For true knowledge is subjective. For living that knowledge as the Lord lives, one must again be objective, not in the plane of Time but in the simultaneous integrality of Time eternity and Timeless eternity. &

 

840)         In a transitional stage, the rebels have all the power to shake the strongest centre of the establishment. But the strength of that centre is absolute. Handled deftly, a hurricane can be diverted in a few minutes without entering the city. It is the power of the substance, while the rebels are extremely strong in the consciousness. &

 

841)         When a man readily gives up what he cannot do without, it shows not the requirements of life, but the realities of his psychological attitudes. J

 

842)         Constant self-evaluation is a symptom of social thinking or an attempt at inner observation. J

 

843)         He who has the knowledge sees the entire essence of that knowledge or even the entire expression of that knowledge in any well-defined ACT. 5

 

844)         Instead of understanding the success of the rivals, opponents, or hostiles as a greater success of oneself, the idealist often is constrained by the belief that he is losing ground. 5

 

845)         The urge to renew the acquaintance is not so much occasioned by status as by temperament – a temperament in the other that is neither defensive nor pugnacious. 5

 

846)         Is it possible for one to see his life in the context of his work, his family, his little world and further, the wider world around him, if not the national life? If only he finds it in tune with all those layers or segments of life it means that at some level – say thought or observation or emotions – he has lived actively as a child of that society. 5

 

847)         Smallness of no endowment is given the opportunity to heckle greatness and its endowment only because the relationship is permitted. Heckling is the appreciation of the Great by smallness. J

 

848)         Man often has to move from the need of his very physicality to the Silence of the expansive spirituality. All the areas he lingers in in the middle provide material for passing literature of the hour. Neither the great power of physicality nor the infinite expanse of spirituality has so far lent itself to the art of literature. Literature levels off at universality. 5

 

849)         The novelist displays an extraordinary skill in presenting the inner motives of his characters which are not as clear to the characters themselves as they are to the writer. The reader is introduced into a new world of comprehension of human character that is a greater self-discovery for himself at each moment. The playwright lets his own characters speak all this, the skill for which is no mere human skill. The novelist knows his characters in the zenith of human characterisation; the playwright knows them as individuals who embody universalised traits of individual humans. 5

 

850)         Before the marvel reveals, one needs to have acquired several things: 

 

§  To have quit the planes of Time, Space and Mind;

§  To have reunited Force and Consciousness;

§  As Marvel is still in Form, one need not quit Form;

§  His united Force and Consciousness must be within                      the plane of Form. &
