DAILY MESSAGES Series VII 101) It is
grace that someone solicits your help. It is supergrace you offer it as
God has brought it to you. Avºèh® Á¸® ¹£® GÁ¸® Põnõu ¹£®. 102) When
Love is pure, it becomes devotion. It is the finest hour in one’s emotional
life when that devotion is offered as personal affection. £µ©øÚ HØS® £zvÛz öu´Á®. 103) The body
that can express the sweetness of its thoughts or emotions is a maturre human
body ready to receive the highest. v¸ÄÒÍzvØS›¯ v¸ÄhÀ. 104) When the
finest emotions of gratitude surface and bring life rewards such as JOY or WEALTH, the coarseness of the being
rises as a sentiment to reject it. Cµõ©õÝázøu ©ÖUS® ÷£µõ]›¯º. 105) After
advising hundreds of others, maybe thousands, one discovers it is the only
advice he himself sorely needs and therefore he has been offering it to all
others. There are others who still continue to advise, not knowing to whom it
is addressed. ußøÚ

Põs£Áß ©Ûuß. 106) Grace enters us when we do not actively refuse it. ©Ó¢x |À»x ö\´£Áß ©Ûuß. 107) Cultural
and mental endowment in great measure by themselves without a subÖstratum of
spirituality can get ossified into rigidity. Spirituality enriches them
into maturity of human consciousness. £s¦ £USÁ©õS®, Bß«P©õPõx. 108) Capacity
to receive the gratitude of others and the psychological ability to feel
grateful to it are the two ends of a long spectrum of severeal stages of
inner cultural growth. |ßÔø¯¨ ö£ÖÁx®, u¸Áx® Gvº•øÚPÒ. 109) Dormant
spiritual endowment down below without cultural and mental organisation on
the surface cannot yield fruits. The utmost it can do is to preserve the
spiritual endowment longer. Pmiz u[P® |øP¯õPõx. 110) Utter
freedom does not exist in society. It may exist in the idiot’s imagination if
he is surrounded by high culture. That it is true freedom he felt inside
will be seen by the height of his expectation. The human mind, in that
freedom, expects nothing less than the very best. No one aspires for becoming
a sadhak, but wishes to excel Him. _u¢vµ® ö£ØÓ AP¢øu £ì©õ`µÚõÁõß. 111) One who
summarises his failures or successes can now know what he needs to avoid and
what line he can follow. Only that that summary must be a summary of
essences not expereinces. AÝ£ÁzøuU Ph¢ux AÝ£Á \õµ®. 112) Solicitude, goodness, kindness, etc. may lead to initaitve. Sarva aramba parityagi cannot entertain even those initiatives. |À»øu²® Ph¢uÁ÷Ú ÷¯õQ. 113) If your
greatest achievement is when your expositions are clear, it is time for
you to consider the results when those explanations are withheld. ÂÍUP® £µ® TÖ®; ö©ÍÚ® ]zvUS®. 114) The mean,
low man avails of the help of the idealist and uses it against the leader to
destroy him. ©õ®£Çz ÷uõ¨¦ Sµ[Qß uø»ÁøÚ x÷µõP® ö\´x

in the establishment to keep quiet when something new takes place. High above
it are intrigues, down below there is vicious gossip. Should they fail, they
will move into action and will not hesitate to descend to any low or mean
strategem until they succeed. It is not in them to stop on their own unless
they are fully vanquished or assured of it. Incidentally, the point at
which they stop is an index of the civilised level of the community. uõ÷Ú Pmk¨£kÁx C¯À£À». 116) Whoever
was kind or fair to you in any measure, when he wants to leave you, takes a
compensation for his kindness so that the relationship can be effectively
severed. Aߦ «Íõx. P\¢u Aߦ, AߤÀø». 117) Man loves
to receive everyone’s support and be raised in status. This happens to one
who is so in his inner emotions towards others. In our life, it is seen as
greater and lower status while in the Divine soul it is a non-stop exchange
of consciousness. 118) Higher
values treated to lower needs is rudeness. 119) A mother
who guards her daughter’s purity as the apple of her eye is expansively proud
of the daughter’s popularity among men. 120) Ambition
imagines for itself the accomplishment of every other person. Fear is
threatened by every misfortune of others. This is because of the oneness
of humanity, though it is felt negatively here. 121) Ignorance,
organising itself into stupidity, repeats. A growing intelligence cannot
repeat. Its repetitions are rediscoveries at higher levels. 122) To give ourselves up and let Mother possess us is the only work.
Let Mother replace the ego. 123) Those
who have some spiritual value do not know that. They progress because of that
unawareness. When they know that value, their progress stops. Having known
the value, if they overcome their ego, their value becomes valuable to make
greater progress. Unconscious
small progress or conscious great progress are not by our choice. To know
both are sanctioned by Grace begins the true progress. 124) The more
endowed small grows impertinent. Growth in the soul of the small is
impertinence. 125) In the
growth of the human personality, shame, guilt, and conscience are different
stages. Within civilised society members who are alien to shame often enter
and have a field day. 126) The low
acknowledging the high of its unquestioned superiority does so by accusing
the high of the possession of superiority. Either the low or the high in
announcing their solidarity with the other does so by self-affirmation. Self-affirmation
is the birthright of the Self. Here, ego tries to play the role of the Self. 127) Collective
joy is the sorrow of the individual. 128) Mind
trying to understand the whole is like one man trying to feed the entire
community. 129) Everyone
is endowed with elements of positive prosperity as well as elements of
negative destruction. In the measure he is aware of them as impersonal,
universal endowments, he can turn the course of world events. 130) Science
feels man candiscover the formula of matter. Let Science first define who
that ‘man’ is according to its understanding. 131) All
people enjoy social security having inwardly endorsed it. The capable ones
enjoy psychological security. The devotees must avail of Mother’s security
inwardly endorsing it. 132) The
finest worship of Mother is to enjoy what one does as She has enjoyed doing
things. To enjoy is to exist in
Her. 133) Know that sorrow has no compelling force when it invades you
unless you choose it. As sorrow has invaded you, Mother awaits you all
around. The choice is yours. Choose Mother. 134) To
advise another is not permissible. Not to offer essentially good ideas to
those who are dependent on you is not right. Advice is appropriate in the
measure Love subsists between you. 135) He who
gives up all his efforts to defend himself is really relying on the wisdom of
the wider life. 136) He who
finds his family disintegrating rarely knows he is the pioneer in abolishing
the family. 137) The
equilibrium of the atmosphere is not only disturbed by increasing the dose of
existing evil but also by a similar increase of existing good. Such a
phenomenon will not be there when the Self-existing Good is increased. 138) People
perpetuate heinous crimes but are unnoticed because the society has no
perception of it. This is intolerable. Society has a way of rewarding them
for those very crimes which is really culpable in the eyes of the perceiving.
139) Several
leeches pounce on a good cultured person and suck him dead. When he is dead,
they still devise social claims upon his residue for further exploitation.
And at the end of it all, each leech declares how they served the dead man during
his lifetime. 140) The
intelligent animal -- the clever person -- seeing the bad results of his
inner bad thoughts quietly withdraws. The unintelligent animal --the bad,
clever one -- argues aloud that he has no part in the outcome. 141) Population
that confers awards on the robber barons and outlaws in a civilised society
is a reverse phenomenonof worshipping 142) When
employment is scarce in the outside society, those who are employed are
demanding less work and more pay least knowing they are sowing seeds for the
very opposite in the next generation for their children. Who can tell
their children that their parents ‘insisted’ and ‘demanded’ what they will
suffer? 143) When a
dearly loved friend betrays you, the heart gets crushed and knowledge is
born. What gets crushed is faith in falsehood and what is born is Truth.
Whose heart was false? His who betrayed or the one that was crushed? Only
faslehood gets crushed. Truth never gets that turn. 144) Mother,
in Her compassion, reaches our very depths to support any possibility in us
that may choose Truth later. Our surrender permits Her to act. It is
that surrender of ours and Her response which enables us to participate in
the Lila and feel we are emerging out of Ignorance. The
Play begins when surrender is complete. 145) To get
hold of the hostile vibration in oneself and move to its centre of light is a
yogic feat.Still, it can be done and the hostility thus dissolved. 146) If all the
members are wedded to Truth and decide to please all the other members of the
family, eschew harshness in thought, a certain foundation can be laid. ‘I
cannot initiate disharmony in the family’ should be the one rule. ‘I have no
secrets from my family, nor does it have secrets from me.’ The only
Authority in the family is the freedom of the other person. With the
above few rules, a Mother’s Family can be initiated successfully. 147) Mother
is the consciousness that helps the Force to remember it again. She does so
as She is the other end. Force at the emerging end is mechanical, leading the
scientist to believe it. 148) To
discern another’s motive is to be shrewd or astute. It is mentally mean,
especially when the motive is low. To impute that motive to another in its
absence is not only mean but perverse, the two ingredients of evil. 149) Relaxation
must still be within the ambit of discipline. Relaxation that goes against
the discipline is not relaxation, but dissipation. 150) Surrender
in life is obedience to elders. Obedience to the circumstances with the
knowledge that they are reflections of what we are inside is yoga in life. |
