DAILY MESSAGES Series VI 851) In a complicated case of mystery, if
there is truth at the bottom, there will be some physical fact or some
scope for that Truth to emerge. 5 852) The culture blending with character
in the execution of time honoured tradition is a sight to see. J 853) Wealth or prosperity may not be
apparently related to the measure of Self-Respect; but Self-Respect cannot
definitely grow without an assured basis of abundant wealth. And in that
case, they are in direct proportion. J 854) When I do not see you in someone,
what do I see? I see my own hatred as his hatred and for that I hate him. There
is no hatred in this wide world except in my separate existence. & 855) My partial vision sees human love
and human hatred. I have not yet learned to see love in hatred. Love that is
not seen inside first cannot be found outside. & 856) The FORMULA needs everything
an act composes of, such as energy, force, power, skill, attitude, motive,
knowledge, an intuition and every other thing without fail. Even one of
them being fully right will yield the right result once. The attitude required for the formula is one
of self-discovery, the knowledge emerging out of Ignorance. 5 857) In a country like England where
manners are held high, the deficiencies of lack of education as well as the
urges of the feminine nature do still set limits to the expression of such
high manners.J 858) Mother offers a growth that is
balanced and does not require a compensation. Mental values through restraint
offer most of it. Vital attitudes that honour mental values are the next
best. Physical skill to perfection is the only solace the physical plane
offers. Nature follows karma. Mother enters our life by fits and starts. In
the measure Mother is not consciously banished from our lives, one can see
She maintains the balance at the level it is allowed. 5 859) What makes human intercourse sweet
and enjoyable is our knowledge of how the other feels. If it is possible
to know how God understands him, human intercourse becomes divine exchange.5 860) One can give up the past forgetting
it. It is to live in Space in the present. Past takes one to Time. One can go
back to the past so that knowledge in Time can be acquired to exhaustion.
More lies beyond. 5 861) Globalisation is selflessness in
extension. J 862) The conformist receives the
punishment of his boss or his organisation as if he well deserved it and
thanks them submissively.J 863) The end of involution is matter.
Therefore, the highest accomplishment must be in that plane. The highest
accomplishment is the highest enjoyment which expresses through sensation. The
greatest accomplishment in the yoga of spiritual evolution is the enjoyment
of physical sensation in the descent. & 864) It is noble of a woman not to live
with her husband when she finds her earlier love has not died. It is
emotional nobility in character. This type of emotional luxury too is
decided by her material affluence and social acceptance. 5 865) Learning from experience is to
learn in Space, doing so from the past is to learn in the plane of Time. But
true Knowledge lies beyond Time and Space, maybe not even there in Being
but in the involution of that Being and its evolution. & 866) Mother gives you the feeling that She
belongs totally to you. You feel all of yourself is given to Her, only to
Her. It is so because our relationship with Mother is the point at which
the Individual changes into the universal. We may say here the Individual and
the universal integrate with each other, the point where the finite finds its
Infinity. 5 867) Freedom: At each level of functioning, the
environment is free to disturb or destroy you. Next, you get over the
environment and master it. Finally, you offer FREEDOM to the
environment and in that freedom you learn to survive. Mastery becomes complete
when it is mastery of the forces when they are consciously offered freedom to
operate. 5 868) Each soul expresses itself more
precisely by developing the individualities of mind, temperament and peculiar
preferences. The greater these peculiarities, the greater the involution. How
to condemn it then? As long as the involution is reversed into evolution,
no condemnation is called for. & 869) The disagreeable at one level becomes
agreeable at another higher level. J 870) Enjoyment rises as it becomes
vociferous and demonstrative. High enjoyment silently enjoys as it moves to
the physical from the demonstrative vital. The physical loves drama when
it wants to heighten its silent enjoyment. & 871) Practical Ignorance goes only when
the Original Ignorance goes. Laws of life, Life Response, solutions to
problems, responding to national issues should be based on the knowledge of
Brahman. Only the Supermind is in constant touch with the Brahman. All
other solutions up to the Overmind will not suffice. & 872) The world has conducted several
thousand seminars and published several hundred thousand articles to discover
that other men too have points of view. The collective acquires the
knowledge of the individual moving mountains over two decades. J 873) The goals of high ideals are
sometimes attained by petty artifices; the same artifices successfully
sabotage other high ideals. Great goals being served in whatever fashion
by small stratagems is another expression of the illusion of quality. 5 874) The thinking mind is like using a
foot scale for measuring the world’s girth for the purpose of grasping the
Infinite. The scientist, if he is not aware of the Infinite, has seen the
boundless finite. It is time that he abandons his instrument or at least the
project. J 875) A mental idea is sharp even when
it is right. Vital endorsement of it is soft. The body welcoming it makes it
powerful. The spiritual element in the physical consciousness accepting
the idea has the power to make it rich, soft, powerful, full of clarity which
absorbs the external environment into itself as part of the play of Being
with Being, consciousness with consciousness and Ananda with Ananda. & 876) Learning starts as mental
observation, passes through ALL the several stages of the PROCESS
till the very substance and its subtle field learn in the descent. Learning
becomes complete when you forget it and it forgets to appear in your
environment. 5 877) For a life to be conscientious, the
determining factors are prosperity, psychological strength and general social
culture. J 878) When the chapters in The Life
Divine are looked at through the PROCESS from each of nine points
of the nine levels, it will create an integrated understanding. That way,
any one chapter can give the essence of the whole book. J 879) Mother’s family: · Apart
from Truthfulness and dedication to Her, some basic traits are needed, such
as: · No
one should be able to conceive of doing anything that would hurt anyone else. · The
basic confidence of each in the other should be there. · I
ask not so much of real goodness as a clearly pronounced tendency to
Goodness. J 880) Human loyalty in its intensity and
PURITY cannot be given to more than one person, even as the income of
a poor family can support only one family. Man or woman, having given their
love to one person, are unable to shift, not so much out of discipline but
because of their inability to find the joy of love in another relationship.
Divine Love is inexhaustible and increases in sweetness and intensity with
increasing occasions to give. & 881) Knowing one’s greatest strength, one
will find himself successful. Knowing his own greatest defect, he will be
very cautious in character. He who knows both, knows his own self. His
failures would have been rare. 5 882) Life should constantly call you to
action, either from outside or inside. Otherwise, life stops growing and is
dull. It is the immediate beginning of inner death, a distant symptom of
the death of the body. 5 883) Knowledge comes out of experience. Concentration
gives the same knowledge inside. To discover
the knowledge of outer experience inside, the intensity required is
concentration. Concentration
gives the knowledge without passing through the experience. & 884) The present strength we find in
society is the strength of pronounced selfishness. J 885) Insisting on the right without ego
ultimately brings out that factor in the situation which expresses that
right. J 886) Meditation is the Touch of the
higher consciousness. Whatever work gives you that Touch is the divine
itself. & 887) If there is any impossibility, it
issues from the irresistibility of the immediate charm. J 888) God has become man. Men have
become godly, but not Gods. HE offers all men the
opportunity to become God. & 889) When an establishment is rejected by
the society, the reverence it receives during its last phases of existence is the measure of its true value. J 890) The effectivity of objective action begins
after the subjective state is saturated with knowledge. Inner knowledge
first, outer action later. Result is the result of knowledge. 5 891) A crisis is overcome by calling
Mother when She is more with us than the threat of crisis. There will be
no crisis if She is more with us than issues of life. & 892) For the employee, the company is
the universe. For his personal life to be identified with the company that is
impersonal for him, it is enough to overcome jealousy. Seeing the
whole impersonal inside the personal is to overcome the limitations of the
personal. All
dualities have their points where they unite. Time and Timelessness meet in
simultaneous integrality. Personal and Impersonal meet in the other man’s
point of view. Form and Formlessness meet in the universalisation of
sensation. Masculine and Feminine meet in Force becoming consciousness. Good
and Evil meet in the self-existent Good. Being and Becoming meet in the Being
of the Becoming. Sound and Silence meet in the creative sound, Om.
Movement and Rest meet in the Being. Pain and
Pleasure meet above the mind. The part and the whole meet above division, the
apprehending mind. Force and Consciousness meet in the Unitarian
consciousness. Sat and Asat
meet in Brahman and in the Brahman in Sat as well as Asat. Dualities
are in the plane of Force, not in that of consciousness or Being. & 893) Sweetness is not objective, it is
subjective. J 894) There are two realities, the
Spirit and the ego. Initially Spirit became the ego; now it is time for the
ego to become Spirit. & 895) What is a problem to man is no
problem to the Sannyasi; while it is a God-given opportunity to the yogi. & 896) Time heals whether a wrong done was
true or not, as they are truths of Time. Mother heals and upgrades
instantaneously, as She is beyond Time. J 897) Selfish love is prevented from
consummation even when it acquires selflessness since that too is of the
selfish nature. J 898) The rebel’s joy is at its fullness
when he disregards the rules of perfection he has mastered in favour of
spontaneity that keeps him bound hand and foot to utter freedom. J 899) Rarely has it struck me that YOU
are inside. I have been searching for you all over this wide world. J 900) The phenomenon of the second
generation achieving more than the founder or achieving what the founder
failed to achieve is real. It is for several reasons: 1) The atmosphere is more fully
prepared; 2) the next generation is more inspired by the ideal than the
founder himself; and 3) the atmosphere becomes organisation achieving more. J |
