Mother’s Force

 

November 7, 2000

Mother's Force - Human Response - Life Centre - Centre in temperament - What energy is - Idea generates energy - Idea is Self-conception.

Being that determines its own Becoming

 

  • Society develops the Individual and thus develops itself.
  • Before discovering the value of the Individual, society discovered the value of an Idea, the power of energy and power of work (skill) and therefore it cherished material resources like land, coal and oil that made work possible.
  • Next it saw the power of organisations like production and distribution.
  • Slowly it is trying to express the organisations in machines as in the computer.
  • As Mother's Force expresses through society, land, coal, computer, etc. a little of it is seen.
  • It is in the life of saints that the divine force finds a greater expression.
  • We know Mother's Force won the world wars, pushed the Chinese back, and prevented the third world war.
  • In our own lives, we see several minor expressions all the time.
  • Now that the Force is active on earth, a fuller understanding of it, conversion of it into power, will enable us to solve our problems without fail - either by a process or by one stroke - or avail of Mother's opportunities more fully.
  • In Her Force expressing, there are several levels and each level splits into equally several sub levels and each sub part has the option to join hands with any other, as much as we see in society that the men at the top and bottom have had the same opportunities and by such a process have ended up in 200 or 300 levels and 200 or 300 types.
  • The Force expresses at the very top when all other fields are clear.
  • It is true when emotions go with ideas, there are greater results.
  • When new technology comes, the pioneers there outstrip the giants of the previous period as industrialists outdid agriculturists of several hundred years of standing, car manufacturers stole a march over steel magnates and now software crosses all of them.
  • When Mother's Force is used fully and rightly, it should outstrip the existing industrialists as it is the technology of 30,000 years in the future.
  • We resort to it in a paltry way, particularly in a selfish way and what little comes down is not fully converted into results through systems.
  • A question may be raised as to what the right steps are.  The right step may be described as the most receptive way to the Force.
  • The Force is supramental force and it will be abridged when it passes through mental or vital or physical layers unless any such layer is first raised to the supramental level.
  • For instance, very little of the supramental force will pass through a chattering mind. More of it will pass through silence which is of the Higher Mind.
  • Calling is done by us either from the vital or the mind. The call reaches Mother in the Supermind. The calling end, according to its purity, receives more. A silent vital is purer than the vital actuated by desire. An organised vital is more powerful.
  • Mother can be conceived of as the creative universal Force, the Shakti of Ishwara who creates the worlds. In order to CONCEIVE of Her so, one needs to know all of Sri Aurobindo's philosophy. After knowing it fully, the mind will not be able to conceive of it if it is not already raised to the supramental level.
  • When successfully done, it is only conception. Perception and sensation remain.
  • I am beginning at the beginning, i.e. at the selfish center of man. Man looks at life, as though it is there for serving him. I limit my whole enquiry only to that center.
  • To achieve the best selfish results, I plead with him to be unselfish in his methods.
  • The best would be to be unselfish in the center and unselfish in his methods. Suppose man agrees to it, he will not start, as there is no unselfish man on earth.
  • So it is easy to see the several levels in which the center can poise itself and the several levels in which the methods can be found. At least we can conceive of ten levels in each.
  • As a help to understanding these processes, I propose the following:
  • - Now we understand life as everyone else understands. This way we start as a clerk and retire as a low officer.
  • - We can understand life better as revealed in Life Response. It is subtle understanding. This will be either like a direct recruit who rises to the top of the department, or better still, like the politician who has a meteoric rise open to him.

- In Pride and Prejudice we attempted to secure that understanding.

- In addition, we tried to put the story in the context of social evolution.

- There is a better understanding possible.

- It is based on the truth that social evolution and individual psychological evolution are the same. The individual who tries to rise from a Collins or Charlotte to Darcy or Elizabeth undergoes the same struggle of the society inwardly in his character or temperament.

- To understand from the character building the same conclusions as from social evolution gives one a great power.

- Here by handling the temperament of man, one can achieve the same results as in the other by handling the events.

- Character is energy. We can push our understanding to energy as the chemist goes from molecule to atom to gene to DNA, etc.

- In that case, the sources of energy lend themselves to be manipulated, making work much easier.

- Energy comes from Idea. Idea is a smaller version of Real Idea and it generates from Self-conception. It is possible for us to understand an event or a story from Self-conception which is the origin of creation beyond which there is no other.

- In a great turmoil in the family or country, people on the other side who are in the know of things, know the exact thing to be done to solve the problem in one stroke. What they know we can know. A boy, otherwise good, spoiling for years in bad company, can turn over a new leaf if separated from that company.

- The more we push our study further (society, character, temperament, energy, idea, Real Idea, Self-Conception) the greater is our mastery.

  • With the utmost opening, fullest interest, genuine listening, insightful observation, I shall be able to pass this knowledge on in 30 days, in fact in seven full days.
  • Once you learn this, you will be a master of your situation and can rise sky high.
  • By observation, one can see life; I can show the rules, patterns, etc. but the success will be instantaneous if one is willing to recognize his own character and comes forward to change. Now I ask people to agree for an inner change without any understanding of the life outside or inside.
  • Acupuncture knows the subtle spots in the body and how they are related to health.
  • Diseases are cured by puncturing those spots.
  • If a man suffering from weak lungs and general malnutrition is well fed, he overcomes the disease or appears to overcome the disease.
  • A boy who has not known a certain formula in Math which frequently appears fails in math. General tuition can help. Particular coaching in Math is a greater help. If you find out that except not knowing that ONE formula he is otherwise bright and teach him that, his difficulty disappears.
  • A nation's problems, or a company's problems or family or individual's problems can be so tackled generally or particularly or specifically.
  • As our knowledge of Life extends from events to characters to their temperament to energy to idea and finally to self-conception, solutions can become more and more precise and result in greater bounty.
  • Any great opportunity can be so created and planned for accomplishment if the knowledge, will and faith are there.
  • A mischief maker creates some trouble in an organisation which gradually spreads to many forms and goes beyond his own control and later beyond anyone's control. Before it goes out of his hands, he can fully defuse the chain of action. We can do it, when we know it.
  • Almost in any organisation, such a thing is happening. Most know the source.
  • Those who are close to power know what word or move can initiate a chain of good activities and result in great good.
  • To realize the Absolute is to know His way of creation. When we know self-conception of the Absolute as a process, we have realized the Absolute (Brahman). Therefore, it is better to learn it.
  • To know a machine fully, you must know how to construct it. If you know how life is constructed, you will be able to make life yield its best fruits.
  • Life can be known at several levels.
  • Events, men, character, temperament, energy, idea, Real-Idea and Self-conception are the raw material from which we can know life.
  • Rationality of Sherlock Holmes is to know through a rational idea.
  • DMK which won in 1967 discovered in 1977 that its energy came from MGR. Having discovered the secret of energy, his party ruled for 15 years.
  • That is the energy the oppressed classes released. They will rule for a long time.
  • There are dozens of characteristics oppressed in us. Locate them and transform them and you will rise to the top.
  • It is the oppressed energy in USA, in India, in Taiwan and everywhere that now raises its head. That is the untransformed oppressed energy. This is social oppression.
  • Mother transforms it.
  • Oppressions are social, psychological and evolutionary.
  • Social oppression is of classes or castes.
  • Psychological oppression is of truth that conflicts with society.
  • Evolutionary oppression is involution. This is the most powerful of the three.
  • Scheduled castes were denied education, equality. Now they are emerging.
  • Inferiority complex is the result of psychological oppression. It is more powerful.
  • Darkness and ignorance are evolutionary suppressions. They are most powerful.
  • To know life by its self-conception is to know its evolutionary structure.
  • The structure, perspective, framework - the whole - enables one to know ALL constituents of the field in their positive and negative contexts.
  • Problem solving is easy if we know the negative context.
  • Creation of opportunity is possible when we know the positive context.
  • To know the negative in its positive context is the most powerful and that is transformation.
  • Exhaust positive traits to build your life, know the negative side, try to learn what positive trait it represents, transform. There is no higher method in creation than transformation when you want to rise.

Experiments:

  • Choose a person who is socially oppressed and observe his growth. If he is in any way in a comparable position to you, it is better.
  • The 750 software companies that rise are mostly by Indians who were educated in USA. We think US education did the trick. It has not done so to US citizens. Why does it act in the Indians? Because the Indians, as immigrants, ‘feel' the oppression even if it is not there in law. Observe one such man closely.
  • Inferiority complexes are there in good number in us. Choose one. Go to the Internet. Gather all possible details. Know it fully. Subject it to transformation.
  • Evolutionary oppression is best seen in Ignorance, darkness, etc. We are ignorant about hundreds of things. Choose that Ignorance which we meet in our daily work. Evaluate what you are doing in terms of the best knowledge available in the field. Child rearing, being a wife, being an employee, being an immigrant, consultant, etc.
  • Surely there is a lot more to learn in each of these fields. Choose child or management. There are truck loads of information that are yet to be organised as ideas. There is a lot of data that is to be processed as information.
  • Is there an end?
  • Are you tempted to label it as learning more?
  • Please see the distinction between learning one more fact and converting a superstition into a fact.
  • A fact is a dull convenience. Superstition transformed into a fact is a dynamo.
  • An employee earning $1000 increment gets an income. The same man locating his ignorance worth $1000 and converting it into $1000 income gets $2000 more. And more important than that, he gets the process by which each of his weaknesses is to be converted into strength. Let him locate ten such weaknesses and he will soon soar.
  • Learn one more good manners. You will feel better. Take one of your bad manners. Transform it into good manners. You will feel dynamic. Now you can convert all bad manners into good manners. Learning one more good manners is good in itself.
  • Ignorance is also at several levels. Ignorance of a fact, rule, truth of life, psychological truth, the highest truth, etc.
  • If you do not know how to close a computer and you want to learn it, you can close it. What is that ignorance? How to convert it into knowledge. It is one process of computer. Once you learn it, you are capable of learning all such computer processes. This is a mechanical advantage. Learning a traffic rule is more powerful. Learning not to interrupt is far more powerful. Learning not to be timid is still more powerful.
  • Conversion of complexes will resist.
  • Transformation of ignorance will not resist. It will MAKE you forget it. It is called unconsciousness. To be conscious of the presence of ignorance is great. To be conscious of the possibility of transformation is greater.
  • One experiment in these three areas will certainly make you see that the difference between them is like the difference between one and one billion and infinity.
