DAILY MESSAGES
Series II
951) Mother
has given us the opportunity to join Her who is at the head of creation. Do
we have the heart to raise our servants to our level? Without doing it how
can we receive Mother? p 952) The
Supramental plane sees each in all. To rise there one should at least have the emotions that
attract one and all to himself. p 953) One
can surely move to the second stage (Cµshő® Pmh®) from the first acceptance of
Mother as a devotee for the benefits of prayer if, – he realises that he is fully opposite inside
to what he is on the surface (because
that is the law); – he does not give his primary response to
money or women or material gain; – his mind falls silent without a second line
of thought; – he knows the true measure of his
insincerity; – he
does not seek petty desires in the name of sadhana. p 954) Praying
for the transformation of perversity into Mother’s consciousness is
aspiration; while perversity in you
seeking to become Mother’s consciousness is sincerity. That is the
process of surrender. p 955) He
who justifies himself as seeking the objectless Ananda while greedily reaching for the object announces
a higher capacity for insincerity at
the spiritual level. p 956) The
mental decision at the point it becomes full, even if it is for a mundane
gain, has, in Mother’s Atmosphere, the great possibility of turning into true
aspiration. p 957) When man believes another or even God, he
relies really on his own capacity to
believe. µ 958) At a point it shifts to the other when it
becomes faith. µ 959) Belief is of the mind, faith is of the
soul. What man considers now to be faith is his own belief. µ 960) Belief can fail, not faith. That which is
capable of breaking is not faith. µ 961) The second line of thought changes the real
aspiration of the mind into a verbal formula, robbing it of its fullness. µ 962) Reasonableness is not meant to accomplish.
It convinces the reasonable who is of
the mind. That which accomplishes is the
vital which is anything but reasonable. µ 963) Rising
above — or below — the mind, one ceases to be reasonable. The force enters the inner being and achieves. p 964) Accomplishment in the material plane
belongs to the vital or the inner being, not to the mind that is reasonable. µ 965) The
rain that comes down, comes down in response to the human emotion that is devotion. It is the
skyward rising emotion that is
symbolised by the sky-aspiring trees. p 966) The
Israelites are now discovering the value of water, i.e. devotion, having once
done to death Love incarnate. p 967) Methods of worship are religious
conditioning. Life, military training, urban life, poverty, concentration
camp, and refugee camp decondition
man. Surrender is self-initiated conscious deconditioning. µ 968) Prolonged,
intense effort like non-stop prayer is the overcoming of the effects of Time
in the physical plane. p 969) Reversal
of attitude in the vital, giving up prejudice of the mind are similar efforts
to overcome the effects of Time in the
vital and mental planes, because these attitudes and prejudices are accumulations over time, being the products
of Time. p 970) A
prayer for transformation — e.g. transforming the perversity — moves away from the desire centre — making
the prayer one of desire for
transformation — when its urge for insistence disappears. p 971) The
same prayer losing its insistent, short-lived force and be-coming calm and
steady moves into the pranamaya Purusha. p 972) Without the spiritual progress 973) This shows the scope for social progress in
the individual if 974) Life responds instantaneously, but for
the mind to accept what the hand has
touched sometimes takes ten minutes. µ 975) Often for great national issues or personal
issues of monumental good fortune, the key, rather several keys, are just by
our side. Only that we have an ‘opinion’ not to
use them or recognise them. µ 976) We know for certain that we have discovered
the processes, clues, or keys for
accomplishing about 100,000 things or more in a hundredth of the time it took
in 300 or 3000 years. µ 977) We can say that about 30 years ago or even
10 years ago. µ 978) But no one in this wide world will ever
accept that there are 100,000 things NOW that can be done similarly if
only we refuse to close our eyes. µ 979) If only our eyes are open to those
processes, clues and keys, the year 2500 A.D. can be Now. Poverty, disease,
illiteracy, tension, discord, problems can vanish in 5 or 10 years from the face of the earth. µ 980) The
Inconscient veil over the infinitesimal and its mechanical necessity, HE says, are only apparent, not
real. p 981) Our
view is the view of the senses, i.e. the view of the inconscient in us. If only we can move to
the conscient in us, there will be no
veil. The view will be one of conscience and no repetition will be discerned. p 982) It is at that point we see the world is a
flux. Its acme is the vision of the universe making and unmaking itself at
every second. & 983) Giving
is not natural to all; self-giving is rare. What is rarer still is to receive
with an expansive gratitude that fully appreciates the motive of self-giving.
p 984) Any
quality when it is full and saturated touches the Divine; good will certainly
does. p 985) Good
will even in small measures has the quality of having saturated fullness and acts as an agent to
touch the divine aspects of life, e.g.
an extraordinary luck. p 986) When you surrender an idea or an emotion
sincerely, there is a sensation of
coolness in the head or heart suggesting that
the surrender is accepted. The psychic emerging feels cool. & 987) Surrender
of perversity or ignorance can do good but they are partial in the sense they
are parts of vital life. p 988) For surrender to be complete, HE
says, we must
surrender the being, consciousness, power and delight. & 989) Being, consciousness, power and delight
stand for Satchidananda representing existence, consciousness, force and
delight. & 990) The
concentration that can successfully initiate surrender is that which embraces
Satchidananda in manifestation as epitomised by the embodied being. p 991) By
All-inclusive concentration HE means inclusive of the 992) When
God comes to you with the face of depravity, know that HE is after you. p 993) Brahman
in the guise of depravity is meant for those who have to overcome the
psychological emotions, since they have already crossed the social barrier. p 994) Extremely selfish affection that prides
itself on dissolving its own
selfishness in favour of its family is the earlier stage of overcoming psychological sensitivity. µ 995) Having overcome the psychological
sensitivity, one is called upon to
cross the border forever giving up honour. µ 996) The next stage seems to be the service of
evil, perhaps because honour is only the social version of evil while evil is
pure in itself. µ 997) Evil is followed by hostility, thus leading
you out of the psychological ignorance (one of the 7 ignorances). µ 998) The cycle continues reversing its trend in
the second round as hostility in personal emotions or evil of organised
selfish- 999) Next, one is greeted with weak
self-awareness with a little good will. µ 1000) Good will greets you at the end of this
cycle. µ |
