in society's attitude compels man to change quickly. His own physical
experience will take decades to make such a change. Effort at mental
comprehension abridges even that. Mind turning to faith is quicker still. It
is only Grace that does it in a trice. EøǨø£²®,

the monsoon when the official link with a hostile
person is severed. ÷uõmhzx

4) Efforts at physical
perfection reveal incomplete vital organisation and insufficient mental
comprehension. Lack of faith or patience surfaces too.
5) In bringing about a
miraculous material result turning the mind away from the negative beliefs is
of greater significance than moving towards Mother and Grace.
6) Even to express formal
thanks, man and the society need long psychological preparation (Velan Press
did not even thank me for the 2000/- token appreciation). 7) Subjective
Being and objective Consciousness disappear on crossing Satchidananda from
where Mother's Agenda is written. 8) Great
accomplishments precede long before they are comprehended, especially when
one is raised to such heights. [Mother's first touch is from beyond
Satchidananda while man is unaware of it for decades for during this birth.] 9) Harmony
of emotions or thought between two persons can release energy to conquer the
world. It is no easy task to accomplish it with the best of intentions. It is
one soul apprehending another, thus releasing supramental consciousness.
This is the first step to comprehend each in all. 10) All
in each perceived by the mind generates selfishness since man understands all
should serve him. Only each in all makes for unselfishness. This is a
horizontal movement while all in God and God in all is to raise oneself
vertically. 11) Standing
on the borders of Silence, man thinks about Silence which mental activity
prevents him from entering Silence. He can stay there forever. 12) The
very first rule of consecrating speech becomes the very last effort for a
sincere sadhak when his mental comprehension is incomplete.
13) The concentration needed for
that is so enormous that it demands the withdrawal of his mental interest in
his mental environment.
14) No one can perfectly grow
into the native idiom of a foreign language without its being interfered with
by his own idiom. Sri Aurobindo's
English syntax was from his previous birth in France as Napoleon.
15) He who can move the rains
can move Grace.
16) Grace constantly creates
opportunities which man uses for dissipation or assertion and he ends up with
problems. Solving his problems without changing his attitude gives him scope
to have a longer lease for his attitude and create greater problems.
17) A wrong prayer reversed
brings down Grace in torrents. (Realising that the prayer to stop rains is
wrong, brought 7" of rain in 9 hours).
18) The body consciousness, not
the cell's' consciousness, would teach the cells how to surrender. A power of
fantastic velocity, a velocity that makes light slow, was passing through
Mother's cells (V.7, pg. 125). The body consciousness is of a higher plane.
When we move to a higher plane, a greater force is released as development
moves to society from the government.
19) Mother sees a condition that
is greater than surrender. (V. 7, p. 110)
20) The Lord is enjoying Himself
a lot, even by what we don't find amusing. (V. 7, p. 129 Agenda) Purna
Yoga is to convert indulgence into enjoyment.
21) Fatigue is a great sign of
weakness. (V. 7, p. 131)
22) We move from support of
habit to support of knowledge to support of will. When they all disappear,
only the Supreme remains (V. 7, p. 131)
23) The immense habit of
depending on the will of others, the consciousness of others, the reactions
of others must be replaced by a spontaneous absolute sincerity of consecration.
(V. 7, p. 131)
24) Man can rise to higher
experience without fully passing through lower experience, but not without a
modicum of it. The small successes with money or in society play an important
inspiring role. To seek that in that measure is necessary. More of it
deadens.
25) As the Sun cannot partially
shine, the Force cannot act slowly or
in trickles. The Sun floods with its light, so the Divine pours its Force.
26) The gods are the result of
human subjectivity. (v. 7, p. 114) The
Supreme is the only OBJECT.
27) Human life is that which
makes a mind-set its final determinant. Several mind-sets combine over
centuries to create a culture. ©Ú{ø»,
©Ûu{ø». 28) When
mind-sets are broken or overcome, dishonour or disgrace will pass before that
mind uneventful as non-events. To be able to discover the marvel the world
is, one must participate in the joy of his wrong-doer. Delight
in the wrong-doer's disgrace to you
qualifies your nerves for Mother's Freedom.
29) Challenge is necessary for
one who cannot seek progress by himself for itself. Challenge develops an
intensity in the absence of aspiration which is the intensity of rising consciousness without reference to
the environment.
30) Mind growing out of the identification
with a part, before dissolving itself in a vision of the total, sees both
sides of an issue, perceiving them as contradictions. Fullness of perception
of a mind outgrowing obliviousness finds the vision of the whole as two
opposing contradictions. 31) Austerity of ¤µ®©a\-º¯® is
a must for yoga; but accomplishment in yoga is not by austerity but by
enjoyment. Only that the enjoyment must be at a higher and purified level,
but it is the enjoyment of the male principle by the female principle. This
is true of all acts. When any act is completed, these two principles do
fuse. Neither of these principles can accomplish by itself.

32) When the comprehending Supermind became
the apprehending Supermind, Mind was created. This is the descent. For us to
follow evolution, ascent is the path, i.e. the latter should become the
former. The object becoming the subject is that process, thus making the
other man part of us, seeing him inside.
33) Seeing the PROCESS in every act of ours,
we become conscious of the process. That makes the finite, subordinated to
the process, infinite which monitors the process.
34) To win a complement out of
the enemy's mouth is a universal longing.
35) Relationships forged or
lived are never totally lost. They survive in one form or another, even as
opposites.
36) Consecration remains a
non-starter because one begins it having learnt the method. As the
supramental cannot be imitated, consecration cannot be practised through a
method. Only the inner preparedness (£USÁ®) will allow the act to be
consecrated.
37) The Absolute is Infinite,
but its infinity is not the opposite of the finite. It is infinite in its
own right, rather a self-existing Infinity.
38) We have an intellectual
concept of infinity. To understand God in Life, one needs a practical concept
of infinity. Avº-èhzøu AÔ¯õuÁß, ¤µ®©zøu¯Ô¯õß.
39) The
Parambrahmam in the poet creates ever-living characters and images. Vedanta
says that it is not given to man to do the same thing in the material plane.
40) The Parambrahmam in the poet
creates, the Parambrahmam in the reader is awake enough to respond.
41) The Absolute can be
approached by seeking absolute perfection at our level of working. Absolute
perfection at our own level is the maximum possible perfect balance, not
absolute perfection. The maximum possible is the maximum desirable and that
makes it absolute at that level.
42) Yogic progress is measured
by how one handles his irresistibility and the initiative; one is
overflowing vital energy and the other is age-old mental habit.
43) The later stages of giving
up vital attachments have several versions, viz. fond remembrance, mental
accusation, self-justification, desire to insult, insulted feeling and finally,
passive memory. What
is forgotten is really given up.
44) Restlessness -- stillness --
consecrated activity. Thoughts
running in the mind or thinking; desires of the vital and breathing; bodily
habits and movements are all expressions of restlessness. Non-thinking mind,
vital that does not breathe, unmoving body indicate stillness. Stillness is
outer as well as inner. Mother thinking in a still mind, universal energy
entering the vital, and the Divine initiating bodily impulses are
consecrated activities.
45) The passionate vital, having
taken to Mother, consoles itself saying, "I can give myself up fully to
a person, a wife or a friend; but to give oneself up to Mother is too lofty
for my smallness." Certainly the vital cannot think or think rationally!
to ask itself how, if it cannot live for the Divine, can it live for a
person?
46) 'I know you', 'I know what
it is', 'I have known this for ages' are statements that are wrong 90% of the
time factually or otherwise. When they prove to be right, it is 'right' for
the wrong person, because this comes out of the ignorant mind that cannot
afford to know.
47) Potential progress levels
off or is destroyed when one insists on getting more out of the opportunity
than is permissible. It comes at once always in the shape of vain glory or irresistible impulses of
selfish aggrandisement.
48) To possess Mother or be
possessed by HER is the result of a lifetime of the soul's intensity for one
who has the call. He who speaks of Mother only once in a while readily wishes for this
accomplishment and anything less than that creates disappointment in him! AßøÚø¯ |® Ehø©¯õUS® AøǨ¦, |®ø© AßøÚ°ß Ehø©¯õUS® A-º¨£n®.
49) Aspiration of the soul is
Agni. Body, vital and mind have their aspirations in two phases. In the
first, body aspires by oral chanting, vital by emotion for puja, mind by
silent mental articulation. In the second phase, mental articulation is in
silence, vital adores and the body sheds its heaviness, releasing it from
sensations and habits. What the agni of the soul starts develops later into
all these phenomenon. The aspiration HE describes in the Hymn to the Mother
of Radiances is the aspiration of the whole being whose first expression is
Fullness. Mother's first complete touch gives that Fullness.
50) What makes the impossible
consecration possible is the aspiration of the whole being since aspiration
precedes consecration. That is the preparedness inwardly (£USÁ®) one needs to have. The call comes to
such a one. |
