DAILY MESSAGES Series VII 51) To take
note of another person’s success where you have not been successful, in such
a fashion as to comment on his own enjoyment of it is certainly mean. AkzuÁº öÁØÔø¯ AÍÂkuÀ \›°Àø». 52) What we
call depth is the depth of the surface. ©Ûuß GmkÁöuÀ»õ® ©µzvß Ea]. 53) To
describe meanness is not magnanimity. When it is someone’s meanness, no one
can comment on it without being tainted by what he comments on. öuõmhõÀ Jmi öPõÒЮ. 54) The highest non-egoistic spiritual realisation is to enjoy God,
and further than that is to allow Him to enjoy us physically. How then can
there be sin in that act? Sin belongs to ego, not the act. BÌ¢x Aݣ¨£x A¸Îß ¤µÁõP®. 55) For about 50 years the
Supermind has been on earth. It has taken possession of the national
governments since 1967. Mother said it has become a person in 1969. All this
is thirty years ago. We have no idea of what has happened after 1973. Should
we not know Supermind in some form now? \zv¯ 㯮 ãÁß ö£ØÓx \zv¯®. 56) When all the world conspires to destroy a man, it is too much
to endeavour to tell him that the whole world organises itself to crown him. In
truth, that is the way of this world of ours. AÁuõµ¨ ¦¸åøÚ AÁvUSÒÍõUS® E»P®. 57) Atmosphere
of real, full Freedom does not permit the impermissible or the inappropriate.
True, infinite Freedom transforms the one into the enjoyable and converts
the other into the precisely appropriate. _u¢vµzvØS _nUPªÀø». 58) When
Mother offers us NO opportunity for lying, She is offering us Her Spiritual
patrimony which means She has fought our battles for our sake. It is
enough we deserve this, even if we are incapable of gratitude. |®ªhª¸¢x AßøÚ Â»US® ö£õ´, AßøÚø¯z uõUS®. 59) Our inner initiative will be clearly discerned and its source
-- physical or mental -- too will be palpable to the perception. He who
denies the initiatives of the ego has a vast freedom. One who can deny
himself the urge of his parts can well move to the psychic. ÷ÁP® AÈ¢uõÀ ÷Áu® £¼US®. 60) Anyone
who is not a determined evil perosn can be temporarily won over by a higher
dose of love, even by an attention that is more marked than usual. PÁÚ® P¸ønUS \©®. 61) That the body should think from its spiritual part and the mind
should act in its spiritual part are stipulations of integral totality. Bß©õ÷Á AøÚzx®. 62) Family
is created so that children can be reared. What happens to a child that
‘grows’ outside the family? Society has come into existence so that man’s life will be
comfortable. Imagine a man who has denied himself social life. Mother’s
avatar has cme so that yoga will be made possible for man. How actively
man forgets, neglects, disregards Mother and wants to do yoga himself? AßøÚ÷¯ ÷¯õP®, \µnõPv÷¯ B]µ©®. 63) The
desire to give is as intense as the desire to take, as in both cases what is
at work is desire. öPõk¨£x® Bø\. 64) The
experienced man with no theoretical knowledge of how he achieves is like the
illiterate who speaks the language for work purposes but does nto know how to
read a book. ÷£_® ©h¢øu. 65) It is gross folly for one to defy the authority on whose
benevolence he survives. It is an expression of one refusing Grace.
The descending Grace has the joy of overcoming the rebellion of creation from
inside which He wants to emerge. P¸ønø¯U Psi¨£x Ps‰izuÚ®. 66) Mind thinks; the psychic sees. ]Ó¢uÁÝUS ]¢uøÚ, £Âzvµ©õÚÁÝUS £õºøÁ. 67) The good that with the opportunities for progres refuses to
evolve into GOOD, degenerates into its
opposite bad and is ejected fromthe field. Áͺ¢uõÀ ©mk÷© ÁõÌÄ. 68) A
moment of divine delight can be a fit occasion of human sorrow. ©õÔ¯ £õºøÁUS BÚ¢u÷© ÷\õP®. 69) Joy is
to be aware of the inner greatness; sorrow is to relate to the outer meanness.
70) No
confidence can ever be created in one who is incapable of confidence. In
the extremely unlikely event it is crated, it is a stupendous job ofgreat
skill to maintain it. One who can do that can rule his world. AÁ|®¤UøP°À |®¤UøP AQ»zøu¯õЮ. 71) A man
considered rational is best evaluated by his opinons on wider issues such as
politics, questions of equality for women, etc. Well-placed men coming to
such topics are known to talk like ordinary men. Man’s basic irrationality
easily emerges in wider issues where his mind refuses to exercise itself. ›²® ©Ú® ÂushõÁõu® ÷£_®. 72) Man
going back on his idealism meets with violent destruction or premature death.
£õøu •ß÷Ú, ¤ß÷Ú°Àø». 73) Thoughtfulness
and resourcefulness make an act complete. It can reach perfection if
alertness and presence of mind are added to them. All those who are
capable of the above in any act can help that act of finite nature evolve
into infinity. \©÷¯õ]u® ©Ûuß \©¯zøu CøÓÁß u¸n©õUS®. 74) Low
castes that produced spiritual greatness did so by their collective
aspiration. Caste superiority that is social power has a way of recognising
the great soul while disregarding the collective spirituality that produced
it. Cµõ©øÚ²®, Q¸ènøÚ²® HØS® E»P® AÁºPÒ
¤Ó¢u áõvø¯ HØPõx. 75) Man has
friends and enemies. By recognising the enemy in the friend and the friend in
the enemy, man becomes human and wise. It is not enough to become a
devotee as a devotee needs to love friends as well as enemies. When he
becomes a sadhak, he cannot even have that luxury, as he has to be detached. ÁõÌøÁ HØS® ÷¯õP® EÓøÁ ©ÖUP ÷Ásk®. 76) A man
proposing to a woman is on the crest of a wave of romantic emotion w hich, by
its very constitution, is fleeting. Social resilience is the greatest when on
this transient, flimsy, non-existent emotion a life for two people for the
rest of their lives under the name of marriage is created. If anything, it
is one of the wonders of social existence. EÓÄ F¸USU Pmk¨£mhx. 77) Great
wealth may hover around; it may not sail into your life until and unless you
realise the folly of serving greed with money. ö\ÀÁ® Á¸•ß uß E£÷¯õPzøu AÔ²®. 78) All
those who worship Rama and AÁuõµ÷© ¤Ó¢uõ¾® áõvUS E¯ºÂÀø». 79) Man
knows allthe ill turns done to him; a good man conscientiously remembers all
the good turns done to him. Each may know that as much as done by him to
others. {øÚÄ Gߣx uõß HØ£x. 80) If you
betray one who lovingly trusted you, it comes back to you. If you refuse to
betray him because you are incapable of it, he who was to benefit by that
betrayal perpetuates the betrayal you refrained from in another form and
laughs at you, indicating, say by a name, how you were revenged. Enjoying
the company of people of the same level will certainly have its consequences.
HØPÄ®, »UPÄ® •i¯õu x÷µõP®. 81) Pronounced
fear turning into malicioius perversity speaks its own abominable thoughts of
the other person as actually precipitated events and ‘feels’ wronged utterly. £¯¢uÁÝUS uõß £¯¨£kÁöuÀ»õ® |h¢uøÁ. 82) Creation
is so fully integrated that any speck of it represents the whole and is
related with every other speck in its own way. Inthe measure man is aware
of this representation and integation, his actions and thoughts will
influence the world. J¸ Aq Aø\¢uõÀ E»P® Aø\²®. 83) Courtesy
in the British Parliament requires one to cheer the fresh member’s speech
even when he falters. It is a sign of a mature nation collectively
expressing its culture and indicates how consciously the collective fosters
the sprouting sapling. £»ïÚzøu £õµõmk® £»\õ¼. 84) When
matrimonial alliances, business partnerships and such other intimate material
relationships are moved down even one level from one’s cultural level, it
creates tension. They move from difference of opinion to violent hatred and
violent physical expressions. Move
from mental and physical disharmony becomes fist fights. EÓÄ® öuõhº¦® Eøu Áõ[P EuÄ®. 85) Deeper
layers of life are more organised. Higher reaches of consciousness need to be
freshly organised. By organising the higher consciousness in the deeper
layers of life, we create security in Mother. ö£›¯x ]Ô¯vÀ öÁΨ£kÁx Aø\¯õu AìvÁõµ®. 86) • It
takes centuries of material accomplishment for people to acquire good
manners. •
Those who are thus possessed of such good manners exhibit the very same
temperamental defects in private. • Only
inner spiritual development can give that poise when the external material
plenty has long been enjoyed. |hzøu _£õÁzøu öÁΨ£kzuõx. 87) • Desire
that demands ignores purity. •
Desire seeks in spite of filthy objections. •
Desire is most powerful when it seeks its objects in spite f detestable, disgusting
objections. • öÁmP©Ô¯õu÷u Bø\. • öÁmP¨£h ÷Ási¯uØS ö£¸ø©¨£k® ö£õÊx Bø\ §µn® ö£ÖQÓx. 88) When
knowledge approaches Ignorance, Ignorance not only rejects knowledge, but
more deeply affirms itself. Self-affirming
Ignorance seeks fullness by rejecting knowledge. AÔ¯õø©²® ußÛøÓÄ ö£Ö®. 89) Level of enjoyment is an index of accomplishment. BÚ¢u÷© \õuøÚ. 90) Life
responds to changes in behaviour, character and nature, swabhava, and makes
the Time come. The quickness of response and the weight of the result are
decided by the depth of human intensity in behaviour, etc. ©Ú® ©õÔÚõÀ ÷|µ® Á¸®. 91) • Human
appreciation is distortion. •
Maya, the architect of the universe becomes illusion in human
understanding. •
Wisdom lies in reversing such distortions. ©õø¯ø¯ ©õø¯¯õP AÔÁx Â÷ÁP®. 92) Mother’s Spiritual Patrimony: • She offers us no occasion to pray. • She does not lend us an occasion where we have to
protect ourselves. •She prevents us from exercising our faith in the doctor
and the medicine. • What decisions we make, She executes them on our
behalf. • She protects us from lying, from our capacity to lie if
only we have decided NOT to lie. • This is compassion and solicitude for the potential of
Truth in us. • Still, do we rise to Her occasion? • She goes to our very roots and looks there for
possibilities of Good so that She may support them. • How little do we know Her? AßøÚ £UuºPÒ AÔ¯õu AßøÚ. 93) Evolution
is fulfilled when Ishwara merges with Shakti. In human life fulfilment arises
when in each activity man discovers the corresponding female principle and
accomplishes it. The male principle is the release of energy while the female
principle is to convert the energy into results. The more he does discover,
the greater is the fulfilment. The present awareness of that principle is
in begetting a child. Civilization
has a long way to go to find its fulfilment. This index can be a measurement
of the state of civilization each nation is. Bq® ö£sq® ÷\µõ©À AqÄ® Aø\¯õx. 94) The
capacity to be civil to a rival is the great discovery of civilisation and
makes life worthwhile. An extension to good feelings even as good behaviour
is a greater step civilisation can take. The sage, of course, is one further
step ahead, not harbouring any ill will, as he is not permitted to have the
luxury of a rival. Mother wants, on such occasions, to evince inner good
emotions alongside good civility. Gv›°h•ÒÍ |õPŸP®. 95) Our
minds know Mother. Down below our very cells should know Her. Up above, the
soul must know only Mother. AqÄ® AÔ²® AßøÚ. 96) After
patience saturates the consciousness, impulses of impatience can be moving in
the substance. Such impulses will disappear when one is not conscious of
the patient endowment. §ª°ß AÁ\µ•® AȲ® ö£õÖø©. 97) To be a
good man of conscience and self-respect is not usual, especially among the
poor population. For such a man to be a trsutworthy friend whose company is
endearing is no ordinary human endowment. It needs affluence, character and
culture. When such a goal is at last
attained, it is discovered to be after all a human achievement. ö\ÀÁ•®, PÀ²® u¸® ]Ó¢u £s¦. 98) The
pride that blinds the shame or crime in an act is the pride of people who
have not yet known shame as an emotion in their daily acts of organising
their lives. öÁmPzøu¯Ô¯õuÁº
öÁmP®. 99) Reliance
on the society beyond the point it deserves will enable it to accuse the
individual who so relies on it when he is perfectly right, foisting on him a
wrong. \‰Pzøu »m]¯©õUQÚõÀ usiUS®. 100) Man judges the higher by the lower. The devotee judges the lower
by the higher. You are what your
judgements are. Eß ö\õÀ÷» }. |
