Notes:
Humility and Social Change
505) The success of the revolution depends upon the humility of the society in general, the top stratum in particular, in adoringly accepting the leadership emerging from a lower level.
506) To recognise the highest potential of the lowest layer of the society is a sure way of raising the society.
Humility in Knowledge and Service
838) It can be acquired by our lowering ourselves out of the reach of that object by a wider knowledge that is humility.
839) Such service entering into human relationship changes it into divine relationship.
840) Unilateral offering of such service will be fully utilised and thrown out into the dust bin contemptuously.
408) The discipline to go into the depths is the totality of a part or the totality of the whole surface.
409) The enquiry (விசாரணை) is an intellectual method. It takes us into the depths at its point of perfection or fullness. That leads to Nirvana.
410) Dhyana, unlike the structure-dissolving method of enquiry, collects the energy in the thought or mind by concentration. At its fullness the depths open to reveal the Manomaya Purusha.
411) When the entire energy of the surface __ thoughts, feelings, sensations __ is collected at one point, the surface gives way to the depth. When that energy is directed at its essence, the psychic, it emerges. This is consecration.
412) The depths do not open to any method that is not capable of saturating the surface in one way or another.
413) There need be no method if the seriousness of purpose reaches its fullness.
414) Sri Aurobindo tells us of the physical organisation of the world and pleads for the Supramental organisation next, instead of the vital or mental organisation, because the physical organisation is really the mental organisation, as matter is the creation of the mind.
