501)         Thoughts are generated in the world even as products are created by the market. We choose some of them and accept. We call them our own thoughts. As we produce some products for the market, we also create some thoughts for the world. There we are original thinkers. J

 

502)         India’s Freedom was won in the subtle plane in 1910. Had she taken to armed revolution, she would have freed herself before the first World War. Sri Aurobindo says HE knew the truth behind ahimsa, but He did not want to spell it out. India becoming free before 1914, based on the truth of violent revolution, would have prevented the two world wars. India was steeped in darkness and needed to exalt her darkness by spirituality and ahimsa. Hence the world passed through two wars before India became free. That way, Nature permitted falsehood to have her sway. Now, it expresses in corruption. Should Indian spirituality rise in its truth, corruption will vanish all over the world. Just now India enjoys her puny prosperity as corruption. It is the physical dissipation of spiritual grace. J

 

503)         Human life does not permit ready fulfilment of all its desires. Assuming it does, it is obvious it will soon come to an end. So, the mechanism of absence of fulfilment of desires provides for the prolongation of life. Is there a higher balance where life is endlessly prolonged at will while the aspirations are fulfilled unfailingly? The longer he seeks for a life of successfully fulfilled aspiration, the higher his aims should rise. Desire and ego should give place to aspiration and the psychic. Desire moves towards its defeat. Ego struggles towards its dissolution. Only the evolving psychic enables the body to be transformed so that life never comes to be terminated and aspirations never meet with failure.

                Immortality is a life of harmonious enjoyment. 5

 

504)         Several KEYS:

1)     The key to the physical leads to the birth of the Supramental being.

2)     The key to the vital gives a life of LUCK either to the individual or to the collective, stopping short of the physical immortality of supramentalisation.

3)     The KEY to the mind opens the knowledge of the practical concept of infinity that can become the power of vital life without shutting the door on the physical. 5

 

505)         For the thinking mind, the joy of existence is the discovery and the penetration of the mystery of creation that comes with knowledge. 5

 

506)         God enjoys Self-discovery. Man enjoys repetition, energy, understanding. As long as he enjoys any of them, he cannot move further. When he stops understanding, step by step he moves to the supramental intuition. At this point God’s joy is in determination. Beyond lies the joy of consciousness and being. The joy of self-discovery is for the Being when it gives up the joy of being. &

 

507)         Self-discovery for Man at any given moment is to discover what he really enjoys whether it is repetition or understanding. To know that one does not want to know appears to be the self-discovery that awaits MAN. &

 

508)        Man loves the very opposite of what he seeks. His goal lies in neither what he seeks or its opposites, but in their becoming complements. By seeking it in either, he is human. By seeking it in both, he rises to the godhead. &

 

509)        Judge another at his best. Give another man your very best. Trying to give anything less will drain you and take you to his level. Often such a giving will not reach the person. If it does, it will be used to destroy you. J

 

510)         Only when the field is full of crops do we need a fence. The fence is the crop protecting itself. So also evil is the good that circles its own perfection. Good needs protection only when it is rich.

The fence is not frowned upon by the crop as it protects it. Even so, evil is the fence that circles the good for its own protection.&

511)         That patience which issues from the knowledge that evil is after all good, is lasting patience. 5

 

512)         The key to the vital is to know life at its most sensitive, live front and have a mastery over it in one’s own affairs. 5

 

513)         The key to the mind:   Silence and a thought capacity to know ALL the answers to the issues presented to it with respect to one’s own mental life. 5

 

514)         Problems arising out of physical inability give pain to the body. Mental agony arises when one refuses to do physically what he can out of a value. Confusion is mental inability. J

 

515)         The idea that one knows more than others is not so much an egoistic idea as one arising out of the ignorance of what others know. J

 

516)         The mind’s faith in the medicine makes the medicine effective. Its faith in the doctor often saves the life. It is the faith of the soul that makes one immortal. &

 

517)         Surrender waits till thoughts cease. &

 

518)         The beginning of yoga starts with surrender which is offered by the awakened soul to the inner Divine. It is preceded by other steps as follows:

                v consecration

                v  all-inclusive concentration

                v  a formidable will that seeks consecration.

                v  sincere aspiration of the inner Divine for the ALL.

                v  a call of the Transcendent to the Individual.

All those who have come to Mother have that call one way or another is some measure. &

519)         Yogic energies for life have to fill the entire plane of life, not only the point that receives, even as the water that enters the reservoir cannot raise the water level at the point of entry until it raises the level of the whole.

   Maybe when the recipient is selfish and resists self-giving, he may rise faster. At least the energies of Integral Yoga are not available in great measure for selfish benefits. 5

520)         Before you think and formulate the thought, the impulse of the vital makes several moves. Life outside also moves many times. Here we see the speed of life far greater than the mind’s thinking.5

 

521)         When you call Mother, the ego recedes. Ego is the obstacle; it operates in the planes of mind; Nature includes both. Only when all give way will Mother remain there forever. 5

 

522)         Information is knowledge. Knowledge is power.

Power confers rights. Rights are self-existent.

Rights are not to be granted. Rights are taken and exercised.

Information is the first link of the chain whose last link is self-existent right that leads to endless prosperity.

Life is infinite.

It is for man to choose.

Life cannot compel man’s choice. Man’s choice can compel life to submit.

Finite man can choose to be infinite in resources.

It is the choice that makes the man. 5

523)         It is a subtle axiom that there are no coincidences in life. As no disease rises in the body by chance, no event occurs in life by chance. J

 

524)         As consecration and surrender are whole acts that embrace all the six aspects of life – unity, knowledge, will, love, Truth and Goodness – they cannot be made by partial personalities on the surface. Conditions for becoming complete personalities are many, such as never giving out information, not expecting, patient reticence, quiet efficiency, non-initiative, equality, etc. 5

 

525)         It is the restlessness of the physical being that expresses itself in all planes as haste, hurry, impatience, tension, irritability and expectation. 5

 

526)         Our fullest education issues out of the context of the greatest enjoyment. 5

 

527)         A disease is the result of deterioration of general health expressing in one part or organ. Cure is to handle the part or the pathological expression of the part to set the conditions right in the whole. J

 

528)         The key:  either one stumbles on it unconsciously or he rises to the next higher plane in thought and theorises the process to secure the key. Otherwise the key lies only with those who have accomplished for whatever reason. J

 

529)         In all ages, the most productive section is the vanguard. The proletariat was revolutionary in an industrial society. Now it is the underprivileged population. Hence the rising expectation is the vanguard, not the proletariat any more. J

 

530)         When “Let Thy Will be done” is repeated, it leaves a residue of our will always. When the residue disappears, man crosses the mental barrier. 5

 

531)         The Power, the Happiness, the Light, the knowledge, the Bliss, the Love, the Peace that flow from the Divine Grace are denied to rulers, to earthly success, philosophy, satisfaction of desire, human relationships and death. &

 

532)         To separative existence, all those who are not friends are foes. J

 

533)         A truant member of an organisation not in tune with it can be spoken to by a wise man who appeals to his enlightened self-interest and restores his harmony with the whole. When this truant member comes in contact with the founder of the organisation, his truancy disappears and harmony is restored by itself. Mind acts like the wise man, Supermind acts like the founder. J

 

534)         Until one starts transformation, he is only a devotee who is silently waiting in Her atmosphere. One does not come into touch with Her Force until he starts transformation.

It is Mother’s Force always, whether it is involution or evolution. It is transformation that changes life force into Mother’s Supramental Force.

Mother comes to you in transformation. Until then, you seek Her. &

535)         For a plane to give up a vibration, its impulses must give it up. 5

 

536)         When reason is partial, it tends to emphasize itself exclusively with the result that life forces it to do the very opposite. 5

 

537)         The uncivilised man avoids education and frowns on it, as he values the freedom from it. He seeks to know by experience what education gives. He who thinks to know what can be learned by silence is the uncivilised one in spirituality. 5

 

538)         Logic is the mental perception of the laws of material existence.J

 

539)         Neither Being nor the Becoming can feel the joy of self-discovery. It is only the Being of the Becoming that constantly feels that Joy. &

 

540)         Outrage issues out of not only gross injustice, but also by the fact that one is cornered. In fact, in the latter occasion, the intensity of outrage is more acute. J

 

541)         Gross thought is what we initiate; the subtle thought occurs by itself. 5

 

542)         It is ordinary activities that often initiate great inspirations. J

 

543)         One wise man entering an organisation of innumerable factions, can disillusion the smallest victim and proceed to do so with each higher level, until he can expose the very ideal of the organisation.

Factotums, intriguers, pillars of the organisation, stalwarts will all, one by one, give way to the incoming wisdom. Not only intrigues will fall, but practical idealism as well as idealism will meet with a downfall, never to rise again. J

544)         Death is the only punishment for uncivilised public behaviour in an uncivilised nation ruled by a dictator. Uncivilised activities rear their heads only in a civilised nation ruled by law.

The fact that uncivilised behaviour exists in public or private shows the nation is civilised and is ruled by law and not brute force. J

545)         We now understand that modern medical technology, if available in earlier times, could have saved countless millions. Similarly, there is a comprehensive diagnosis which may yet be developed, which, if resorted to now, could save many more lives. The fact is, no one need die of a disease, if only the diagnosis and treatment are based on the understanding of the whole person. J

 

546)         He who cannot preserve what he has cannot go ahead.

He who cannot risk what he has cannot go ahead.

One is for the below average and the other for the above average.J

547)         Love cannot be received by those who measure it in terms of its material benefits.  A thing is of value not for its own sake; but for the use value of the receiver. J

 

548)         In asking for opening, SHE really asks for the double opening which opens the inner mind below and the spiritualised mind above. &

 

549)         Physical affection is incapable of mental rationality. It is a rare adventure to raise physical affection to mental sentiment. It resists such conversion. Physical affection through physical psychic can become Love. It is achieved by surrender. Frustrated affection turns into hatred. Hatred is the ego of physical affection. J

 

550)         The ideal is to be honoured, not lived for those who come from a family of no tradition or culture, struggling for survival. In their more meaningful acts, they will be mercenary. If the foundations shake, the personality easily becomes one of a ‘cad’.  When youthful idealism dies and man sees his survival is often shaky, he begins to degenerate into a cad.

Not many are endowed with manhood. In the face of questionable survival, manhood does not serve.  J
