DAILY MESSAGES Series VII 1) Thinking
will STOP
when it realises that thinking
narrows the process of enquiry. ö©ÍÚ®
Ea\ Pmh ]¢uøÚ. 2) By
moving from the personal to the impersonal or particular to the general, one
moves from the finite to the infinite. Any single line in such a
transition is infinite. 3) Wealth,
beauty and power are great social assets that enable people to overlook other
shortcomings. Erudition, honesty, loyalty, chastity, propriety are higher
values that do not equally enjoy the above privilege. 4) Man
wants to earn to spend. When he decides not to spend, but goes ahead earning,
he finds his earnings dry up. Á¸©õÚ® ö£¸P ö\»Ä ö£¸P ÷Ásk®. ö\»Ä

least response of yours -- prayers -- Mother reveals to you. She awaits your
full response of giving up the ego and does not impose it on you. øP £mhõÀ ªß\õµ® EÒÍx öu›²®. 6) The
value in a thought has a greater urge for expression than an offence it contains.
Gsn® |h©õkÁøuz ukUP •i¯õx. 7) Man’s
primary concern is social survival. Prior to that is physical survival which
he has crossed successfully. Psychological survival enables him to acquire
prosperity. Spiritual and supramental survivals are for the future. Sri
Aurobindo offers spiritual survival as part of the supramental survival. ÁõÌøÁ AÔÄ

Á͸®. 8) Symptoms
of life outside are observable, not controllable. They Ìare observable as
well as controllable in their origin of inner impulses. The capacity to
control the inner impulses offers mastery of the outer life. AP® ¦Ózøu BÍz
uÁÖÁvÀø». 9) As a
man begins to oblige another out of turn and increases his level of such
obligation to the utter ridicule of others, the discontent of another will
increase in equal proportion. That
is the way Nature relives the former of his folly. For that, she acts through
the latter. EuÂø¯Âh¨ ö£›¯
E£zvµªÀø». 10) The moments when great movements envelop one are his most
helpless moments. For the same reason, they are the most propitious
moments to invoke Mother. Man may falter, Mother never does. Her response is full,
instantaneous and rich. ¤Ó¸US¨ ¤µÍ¯®, Aߣ¸US AßøÚ. 11) Accomplishment in yoga demands that it should be the ONLY aim, as Yoga is integral and total. A total aim requiring
total energies is in the nature of things. AøÚzx® AߦUS›¯x. 12) Sense
of inner quiet or a joy issuing from it is the surest sign of outer security
at that level. Aø©v Bmh® Põnõu
AìvÁõµ®. 13) In the
measure a work done by us bears material result, Grace will give us wealth. £»÷Ú A¸Ò. 14) The
mind is pleasantly occupied by a person or an interest for the best part of
the day. When it is not so engaged, it is dull and bored. Can we give these
dull hours to Mother and turn them into pleasant moments? We can, if during
the other hours when we are occupied by a person or interest we allow Mother
to overtake those interests. Mother’s
moments arise when man gives himself fully to Her. xÎ EnºÄUS® xoa\À ÷uøÁ. 15) The best
possible strategy to solve any problem is to discover how the tangle can be
meaningfully related to the greatest strength available in its own context. v¸h÷Ú ]Ó¢u PõÁÀPõµß. 16) The
brute who continues his brutal acts at some point comes to hide his acts from
the society, as he values its opinion. Values are born when the individual
recognises the collectivity. It is the horizontal extension. Values are also
born when the lower plane is aware of the higher plane. £s¦ \‰Pzvß £›_. 17) Knowledge
and even wisdom fail in the absence of data. Insight and intuition offer that
missing data . uõ¼USÒÍ
©›¯õøu
v¸©nzvØQÀø». 18) Legal
contracts and social customs into which the contracts matured have now
replaced plunder, robbery, arosn and loot and have given them an acceptable
civilised appearance. They are the social antidotes to physical
selfishness. When society discovers such antidotes to vital selfishness and
mental narrowness, it will usher in human abundance. This is the
abundance that comes from the capable selfish to the incapable selfish man.
The real abundance lies outside in the untapped potential. Science sees it as
technology. Commerce sees it as customer satisfaction. Spirit knows it as
human choice of human resourcefulness. Human kind can comprehend it as a
mentally framed theory, not a personally tapped potential. Avºèh®
AÁµÁº øP°À. 19) The
Marshall Plan is the very first response of humanity to recognise our greater
good in the other man’s survival. The Green Revolution is the first major
initiative of the Government of India to aim at long term goals based on
self-sufficiency. These are the distant echoes of humanity of the future
descending grace. Man, as an
Individual, can take several such initiatives in Peace, Employment, Food,
Resources, all based on a Theory. I see that echo in Carter’s and MacNamara’s
‘attitudes’expalined by Harry and Harlan. Harry’s idea of Carter’s possible
interest in theory is the very FIRST time I hear anywhere in national or
international politics that people would consider a solution in terms of a
theory. ÁõÌÄ øP°À, Avºèh® AkzuÁº øP°À. 20) One who
has kept all his friends is a social success at the psychological plane. Aȯõu |m¦ Aߤß
ÁõÌÄUS›¯x. 21) Rain of
prosperity endorses efforts to enrich agriculture and it can be two or three
fold. A¸Ò ©øÇ ö£¸PÁÀ»x. 22) Cynical
distancing easily becomes cynical superiority. In either case, cynicism is
retained. ãÁÚØÓÁß ö£›¯ÁÚõÚõ¾® ãÁÛ¸UPõx. 23) Non-combative
mild men who have not risen in life have their goodness recognised by
enthusiastic popular support. \õxÄUS¨ ¦PÊsk, E¯ºÂÀø». 24) Freedom is Light; Light is immortality. And all of them are
God. \ºÁ®
¤µ®©®. 25) One who
has lost alll his very good friends that were intimate may be one who rose
high in spirituality. Bß«P® Bz©õºzu |m¦US Gv›. 26) One cannot
endeavour to remove a defect through an advice that, in some way, suffers the
same defect. ©¸¢xUS ¯õv°ß Cµõ]²sk. 27) People
offending others is common. Evoking respect by offence is not possible. Though
it never occurs, invariably the offender expects greater respect by his own
offence. ¦s£kzv ¦PÌ ÷uk® ¦so¯õz©õ. 28) He who
has lost his all by his own crookedness is still capable of holding his head
high as one who has lost most. uõÌÄUS® E¯ºÄ Esk. 29) The idea
of selling the fake as an original can be repeated endlessly if the original
is hidden. It produces fabulous wealth. This is the idea of an evil
genius. The more profound, positive truth 1 behind it is, even the unique
‘lends’ itself to endless repetition! HPÝ®, A÷|PÚõÁõß. 30) Pleasure
in repetition is great. Repetition in varying conditions yields greater
pleasure. v¸®£z v¸®£ ö\´Áx vzvUS®. 31) Death of a devotee releases an atmosphere of intense peace, the
peace the soul seeks, which reaches all those related to him. ©µn® Eh¼ß Bz©õ ö£Ö® E¯º¢u Aø©v. 32) Self-denial
is an ingredient of feminine sweetness. What she thus denies is the human
self. What awaits her next is Self-expression. uõ´ø©°ß ö£¸ø© ußøÚ öÁΨ£kzxuÀ AÁÒ Bz©õÄUS E›¯x. 33) Man
seeking the hand of a woman in marriage has the biological attractions as
well as psychological charms of the youth, and he is therefore romantic. The
human soul seeking the embrace of another soul of the opposite sex opens the
infinite springs of selfless sweetness and transcends romance. It is
entrancing. Põu¼ß Ea]US›¯Áß ©ÛuÛÀø», ©ÛuÛÀ ÂȨ¦ØÓ Bz©õ. 34) To be conscious that there is no waste around us is to have
God-vision. µ¯ªÀø» Gߣx Â÷ÁP®. 35) Those
who are adepts in exposing the tricks of the hostile forces and those who
intelligently adopt those tricks can best appreciate the strategies of
military generals. w¯ \UvPøÍ \¢v¨£x ÷£õºUPÍ®. 36) It is a
rich moment of mental opening when the closest person springs the greatest
surprise that baffles the best of analysis and all known facts about him. EÓÄUSÒ÷Í
E°¸sk. 37) Human
ambition is equalled only by the human resourcefulness. Bø\US›¯x vÓø©. 38) Not to
take back what is once given is reminiscent of the Being in Becoming that can
never disappear -- or take itself back. FØÖ }º v¸®¦ÁvÀø». 39) Not to
recall the misfortune which has gone away once is the highest expression of
Grace unconsciously received. »S® u›zvµzøu ÂkÁx A¸Ò. 40) What we
call peaceful life is a life of great comfort in greater unconsciousness. EÓUP® E¯º¢u _P®. 41) There is
no limit to artistic or even poetic creation even when the inspiration runs
along only one line, as that line is creative and infinite. Pø»°ß 죺\®, Pø»©PÎß A¸Ò. 42) What
the psychic knows at first sight, mind knows only on analysis, the vital sees
when failure stalks it at all turns, and the physical refuses to see even
on pain of destruction. AÔÁx Bß©õ, AÔ¯ ©Ö¨£x EhÀ. 43) It is
mean or unbecoming to take note of an expressive solicitude and comment on
it. ¤›¯zøu HØÖU öPõÒ, ©º\Ú® ö\´¯õ÷u. 44) A man
can be accused of expressing bad thoughts about another, not for having a bad
opinion. To accuse a man for his unexpressed opinons is unfair, though one
may rightfully judge him by his opinions. öu›Áx |©US, ö\õÀÁx ¤Ó¸US. 45) One in
return of unselfish love of the purest kind got back mean perverse malice.
Mother would say it is right as they are the right complements. Having said
so, or being capable of saying so, She did not keep quiet until the end. When
the nature of complementary natures was discovered, She replaced malice
with crystal clear purity, passionate attachment, life-saving devotion and a
hundred other right, sweet things offered with love, gratitude and grace of
devotion. The
earlier the realisation, the better. Bß© ÂȨ¦, Aªºu FØÖ. 46) The
arguments, appearances, circumstances created by the hostile forces would
appear to be idealistic, sentimental, value-laden and would be entirely
SWEET, allthe for the purposes of clinging to us. A keen insight will not
fail to perceive those poisonous links in the chain. A_µß Aªºu©õP CÛ¨£õß . 47) If any
name that has come to you is only one of its kind, surely it will play a
unique role, on which side we cannot say. ö£¯¸US¨ ö£›¯x. 48) If any
name has entered your life several times, all of them will fall under one common
pattern. PõµnªßÔ J¸ ö£¯º «sk® Áµõx. 49) Regret
is absence of wisdom. Â÷ÁQUS Á¸zuªÀø». 50) Our
vital, mental joys and physical pleasures have a maximum possible. When settled calling becomes consciousness
of calling, it will yield all the above joys at the level of calling.
Only that it will not be the human version. AøǨ¦US ãÁß Á¢uõÀ A£›ªu©õS®. |
