DAILY MESSAGES Series VI 951) When the heart is full, the psychic
is open, calling Mother is a call on the spiritual internet. 5 952) Literature is the autobiography of the
author through the events and characters. Fiction is the author’s
psychological biography. An author tells us his many
traits and the way he understands his world through the characters. A writer’s many letters to his
readers are his works. J 953) Man always asks for justice that is
generally found in his own society. When the devotees are confronted with a
crisis, they need the supramental justice. To find its expression in one
of the social actions and give life to it is not given to the existing forces
in the society. 5 954) An act that should offend sometimes
pleases, or at least does not offend. It shows how much our organised lives
are at variance with the roots of life and its realities. 5 955) An act can be initiated and then
surrendered. A thought can be formed for an act and then surrendered. Man can
be present at any level and the rest can be surrendered. All these are
partial surrenders which will not pass the gate. The act, the thought
preceding it, the initiative for it and its impulse all have to be surrendered
as what is needed is Total Surrender. & 956) When you love doing something, try
to see whether you like Mother equally. Try doing it after consecration,
and you will like the work better still. & 957) • If one attempts to remove harshness
and meanness rooted in the substance,
it will set an earthquake rolling, not in
the figurative sense. • Removing meanness is an earthshaking
affair. 5 958) Greater Silence and meditation come
without fail accompanying problems, particularly when they are great. This is
because each is part of the other. We are offered a choice at each moment.5 959) An atmosphere of gratitude will ward
off the hostile influences.5 960) The mental man understands on his own.
The vital man understands from others’ experience. The physical man waits
until he himself understands out of his own experience. J 961) As the inner richness rises in
intensity, one marked impulse is to run away from it and take refuge in our
own old consciousness. That desire grows into an irresistible temptation. J 962) Any arrangement leaves some area,
sometimes a lot of areas undefined. Work in those areas is to be maintained
by values. More than the arrangements, it is these values that decide the
effectivity of the total organisation. 5 963) Forces that are denied freedom
organise themselves in the very opposite direction to an intensity equal to
the force that denied them freedom. 5 964) When something goes wrong we can
pray and get it right. We can move to God-vision and see, as it is, it is
right. Then it RIGHTS itself. & 965) The smile expresses a different
emotion from that of laughter. It can be easily seen from where the smile
originates and what it expresses. The smile can express a pleasant social
emotion, good manners, felt warmth of the heart or the soul that is touched
or the ego that wants to please. 5 966) It is one thing to solve a problem by
prayer; it is quite another thing to move to God-vision and see there is no
problem. 5 967) Consecration is to dissolve the
ego, not the problems it creates.& 968) The increasing speed of communication
increases the abundance of wealth. The increasing abundance imposes itself
on the recipients as free gifts of the society. Thus money value is disinherited, paving the
way for its disappearance. J 969) Overcoming circumstances is good
for man when he is making egoistic progress. Spiritual progress requires one
to submit to circumstances. Egoistic progress of endeavour; spiritual
growth of non-initiative. & 970) Human nature does not relish the
company of divine consciousness. It enjoys itself. J 971) The illimitable Ananda which no
individual can make a personal possession is turned into pain by the ego’s
possessive JOY. Possessive joy possesses Pain. 5 972) The preservation of the form is the
possessiveness of ego. 5 973) One ridicules others that are like
him, not their real defects. J 974) Seeing the conflicts outside is the
problem. Knowing them inside in their origin is knowledge. Conversion of
that knowledge into experience is yogic realisation. 5 975) Immediate solutions appeal most.
Lasting solutions are best, but they cannot be immediate. Can we not have
lasting solutions yielding results at once?
Let the depths accept the lasting solutions and offer a
commensurate patience. The results will be immediate. 5 976) Perspective is like the coating
behind the glass that makes it a mirror. A transparent glass is like an
intelligent mind without the perspective. J 977) Contradictions are inevitable. They
cannot be eliminated, rather should not be given up. Accepting the
contradiction as complementary and growing into harmony is indispensable.
& 978) Consciousness extended inwardly is
Time. By withdrawing the extension and concentrating, we overcome Time. By
giving up the past and pouring ourselves more fully into the present, Time is
overcome. & 979) It is not so much the contact as the
inner sympathy that can affect us when we relate to lower forces. 5 980) Regret rectifies; reversal fulfils.
& 981) For a clear-headed person endowed with
an equality that does not play into the trap of losing temper, strength
gradually develops to which the hostile force or its instrument one day
offers the very opposite argument and submits cheerfully. 5 982) The irretrievable point to which man
comes at the fag end of life would have first appeared in his life very
early. He takes note of it only when he is pushed to the wall. 5 983) It would be infinitely humorous and
even captivating to see, rather to see through, the endless ploys instantaneously
put up by the hostile forces to get their work accomplished. 5 984) To sit quiet is not given to the mind
of running thoughts at any age. A calm mind enables a still body. 5 985) Ignorance insists. When knowledge
comes after Ignorance goes, insistence of the Ignorance remains. That
vitiates knowledge. Giving up
insistence makes knowledge free and the obstacle is removed. 5 986) The next generation is next to two
parents. Knowing the right next step into which that generation moves, one
can have endless satisfaction of enormous achievement. 5 987) Muscle built the world; money spread
life wide and raised it to inconceivable heights; now man must emerge to
fully civilise the world by his own resourcefulness instead of the other
material resources. J 988) Hostile forces in the guise of
attachment are there only to destroy us. 5 989) Consciously acquired knowledge
needs to be saturated at all dimensions for it to move the subconscious in
the physical where it becomes perfect. Complete conscious knowledge is
made perfect subconscious possession in the physical by the wealth of
apparently insignificant details. & 990) The WOMAN is the treasure in
any society. She is a greater treasure in India. Her values are invaluable.
Her rising in the society is the progress of society. If only she can go
from the old value to the new value skipping the usual fall, India will scale
the heights.J 991) Love is not made to order nor is
information that is held back. Secrecy breaks when love appears. J 992) The token projects of national
development can change into those of world development as well as of a higher
character. Practically feasible physical projects can move to
psychological ones and can culminate in spiritual exercises. 5 993) Impermissible behaviours amounting to
betrayal also can be sweet if they are sincere and innocent. 5 994) Neither sincerity nor hostility will
go unnoticed by insight. Even sincerity discerns them. 5 995) When you defy a valuable idea, the
mode of defying will drive you to value the discarded idea greatly. J 996) A cardinal sin of ill-feeling may be a
common factor to two opposite characters of responsibility and
irresponsibility. J 997) More power than culture is a breeding
ground for meanness. J 998) Cultural degeneration into physical
sensitivity of pride exhibits greater joy in refusing what he badly needs. J 999) Death spreads a wave of exhaustion
among all emotionally and physically related persons. 5 1000) The
desire for ignorance to appreciate your own intelligence is emotional
ignorance. 5 |
