DAILY MESSAGES Series VII 351) Adventure
is met and accepted as it comes. Rarely do people seek it. It is not
something to be planned for the future. 352) We do not
have the exact knowledge of what the other man thinks. When we know that, all
our illusions will dissolve and we will readily give up the age-old idealism
of the heart as well as the race. C»m]¯® AÔ¯õø©°ß ©õø¯. 353) Issues are settled on the basis of need, attachment, law, etc. It
is rare for us to witness that character exceeds the claims of the above. Whichever
way things are settled, it is the evolutionary will that works through the
available machinery. |õµõ¯nß ö\¯¾® |®ø© Jmi÷¯ •iQßÓx. 354) In the
very best of cases, the advocate of a cause is bound by the cause, will never
be permitted to serve the Ideal for which the cause had fashioned itself. Põ»•® Põ»ÝUSU Pmk¨£mhx. PhÄÐUS ÷\øÁ ö\´¯õx. 355) By a
strange law of memory, one who has rendered essential help during utter
misery, instead of exciting gratitude, reminds the very misery he
endeavoured to alleviate. Eu ö\´uÁøÚ¨ £õºzuõÀ E£zvµÁ® {øÚÄUS Á¸QÓx. 356) Words do
come out of the mouth not intended by the mind. The hand does things not
conceived of by the thought. Anyone wanting to work on himself will find
it rewarding to make a beginning there. uõ÷Ú }Ю øPø¯ AhUSÁx Bµ®£®. 357) Good
reputation: • Whatever else becomes quiet or not, the
heart will not. • Even if the heart agrees to be subdued, it
will revolt. • To agree to be quiet is differnt from
becoming quiet. • Assuming the heart quietens itself once, it
will jump several times. • Even when the heart falls quiet, the other
parts will not allow it to be quiet. • If the heart falls quiet, all other
parts will be quiet. • After the heart has fallen quiet, a
question will arise in us as to why it did so. • When the heart is finally quiet, all
problems will dissolve. • No one will notice the change in us. • Even if they see it, they won’t mind it. • When recognising the change, they will not
speak of it. • If they speak about it, it will not be
sincere. • One person recognising it is rare. All
people recognising it is a miracle. • When all the world recognises it, one
who matters to us will not express it in words. • When all, including that person, lauds the
change in us, we will know how much more is left undone. 358) When an ideal desires to serve its opponents, it creates an
organisation to propagate it. Gv›
C»m]¯zøu AÈUP HØ£kÁx ìuõ£Ú®. Man seeks to achieve an ideal by destroying himself and
the ideal. & C»m]¯® £¼UP

becomes its opposite. Practical Idealism is not for this world. In a world
where Form is perfected so as to fully express its Force, the Ideal can be
practical. \Uv ö£õ[Q ÁȲ® AÇQÀ ¯uõºzu® C»m]¯® BS®. 359) Ossified
form receiving its required content on its own seeking, if it is not
according to its preference, will destroy itself. ÷uõØÓ•®,

his life and how he should live it. Only that he is turned inward. Here there
is nothing he needs to learn. He can be taught details of life and princples
of forces of life. ÁõÇz öu›¯õu ©ÛuÛÀø». BÚõÀ AÁß uÚUPõP ÁõÌQÓõß. 361) • ¤µa]øÚ C¸¢uõ¾®, CÀ»õÂmhõ¾® Ah[S® ©Ú® Ah[S®, Ah[Põux Ah[Põx. • ©ÚzvÀ Aø©v ©Úzøu¨ ö£õ¸zu÷u uµ ¤µa]øÚø¯¨
ö£õ¸zuvÀø». Mind’s
calm depends more upon its own character than the problems it faces. 362) What
Mother avoided for man, even without his own knowledge, he invites later out
of self-indulgence. Even then, the warning starts long before he suffers. 363) As long as one acts in the area where his consciousness is
organised in Mother, the need to call for protection is not there. Even when
he crosses that border, if he keeps Grace ahead of work or his
initiative, the need to call for
protection is not there. 364) When a
man leaves a post, he expects his successor to do what he absolutely refused
to do. Maybe we can call this the rationalism of no responsibility. 365) An atmosphere of Grace will be so light that one feels like he is
floating and the idea of calling for protection never arises of itself. 366) One way
of approving of the revolutionary idea of a rebel by the common man is to
expect the rebel to realise his goal straightaway. 367) Any act that is a substantial whole can be described or analysed
in such a fashion that ALL truths of life will emerge in
their own context, since it is the miniature of the universe. 368) The
freedom struggle had stalwarts, men of courage and heroism. As India did not
take to armed revolt and was fighting within the ambit of ‘democracy’ the
Britisher practised, there was no occasion for the real heroism of the nation
to emerge in full bloom. 369) Man’s greatest depths are in the surface. 370) To be rational, one needs to cross into the domain of pure
thought from that of intellectuality that is hampered by the sensations of
the vital and physical. 371) The desire for instantaneous result is the direct result of
impatience. It can also be there as the indication of the presence of the
consciousness capable of producing instantaneous result, the supramental
consciousness. 372) Negativism
of the bodily urge expresses as an urge to take a hundred initiatives to
implement the decision of taking no initiatives. Negativism is active
self-preservation. Such negative people consider their negative responses
as their most positive trait. 373) The
difference between understanding a situation by one who deals with it
directly and others who administer their programme is as much as between the
infinite and the finite. Often it is reversed too. 374) A yogi has absolutely no work to do with others. All his work is
only inside. The only work he has outside is the work commanded of him
inside. 375) In matters spiritual, the attitude of high and low is exactly the
same, which shows the collective man has not yet entered the domain of the spirit. 376) Uninformed,
uncultured ridicule leading to outrageous heckling is one way of life
responding to formative ignorance. 377) Total freedom need not create total chaos but makes highest
creativity possible. ]¸èiUS›¯x
_u¢vµ®. 378) He who is
penny-wise, in an intense life situation pays his pounds to the very victim
of his miserliness. ¯õøµU P¸ª H©õØÔÚõ÷Úõ, AÁ÷Ú P¸ª°ß ö\õzøu Aݣ¨£õß. 379) People
living on deceit or stealing enables the society to overcome deceit or stealing in future. A{¯õ¯UPõµß
ÁõÌÁx A{¯õ¯zøu AȨ£uØPõP. 380) To be
able to transform the deepest craving will be a first step towards equality. Bø\ø¯
Bz©õ AÔÁx {uõÚ® u¸®. 381) The
offended small organises itself into evil and longs for its destruction by
attempting to destroy the good. To destroy such evil is good or evolution.
One may choose to transform that evil into good if that evil also chooses it. • Aȯ

v¸Ä¸©õØÓzvØPõP ©ÛuøÚ |õkQÓõPÒ. • Man evolves into Spirit. • The Spirit setting foot on the path of
evolution, is the Absolute in creation. 382) Conception, perception and sensation are the three stages of
functioning of the Divine Soul, He explains. By subdividing sensation of the
physical again into the same three parts -- conception, perception and
sensation -- we reach the very last level when the supramental being evolves in the man’s physical being. 383) Falsehood
has the force of Truth in its own context, moreso in its evolutionary
context. The power of a force is determined not by its inherent value as
by the context. Any power will be
most powerful in its own context. P¸hõ
ö\ÍUQ¯©õ? For any force seeking to be powerful should seek to establish
its own context. 384) What is
outrageous to the victim is just and convenient to him who inflicts it on the
victim. Life offers it to the partner, friend, tenant, client and to the
spouse. ¤Ó¸US Pkø©¯õÚøu CÛø©¯õP ©Ú® EnºÁx ÁõÌÄ. 385) The
aspiration of the upward movement often uses the means abhorred by those who
rose up, to reach them, more urged by the desire than the prudence necessary
to use right means. ©»º
÷©¾ÒÍ Bø\ Aøu P\UQ¨ ¤iUS®. 386) A refined
idea restated appears to us repetition to incomprehension. ]è¯ £õÁzøu Aiø©°ß £oÁõP £õºøÁ°À öuÎÄ CÀ»õuÁß AÔÁõß. 387) Expectation
is to be avoided for opportunities to arise. They can be enjoyed only when
there is no expectation. Nor can the expectation have any place after the
opportunity is fully availed of. • Gvº£õº¨¦ ußøÚ G[PõÁx ÷\ºzxU öPõÒÁõºPÒ GÚ
Gvº£õºUP •i¯õx. •
Expectation has no hope of even expecting to survive. 388) No one need try to give the world or others around him something
useful to them. If he possesses the thing in a form that is tangible to
them, they will take it from him themselves . uµ ÷Ásk® GßÓ AÁ]¯ªÀø».
C¸¨£x ¦›¢uõÀ E»P® uõ÷Ú Â¸®¤ GkzxU öPõÒЮ. 389) In a relationship
where there is no obligation, one takes from another continuously substantial
help, but is unable to remember many of them, sometimes any of them. This
means the receiver has an attitude and aim of taking the all from the other
man. öPõÒøͯiUP
{øÚ¨£Áß ö£ØÓøu ©Ó¨£õß. ö£ØÓøu ©Ó¨£Áß öPõÒøÍUPõµß. 390) The
birthday is a psychological opening. The society in times of great changes
provides some such openings. Should the individual opening and the social
opening fall in line, it becomes great. The birthday can come more often and
one can by his own attitude evoke the social opening at his will. The
psychological, social, spiritual openings falling in line more frequently
than now is the ideal. Bß© ÂȨ¦®, AßøÚ ÂȨ¦® ÷\ºÁx Bz©õ ÁõÌÂÀ ©»ºÁx BS®. 391) We are
enveloped by several atmospheres as if in concentric circles. We are aware of
those ones immediately around us and those which touch us powerfully. Our
protection and effectivity are in the measure of awareness of those waves and
their mastery. `Ì¢u `m_©zøu AÔÁx £»®. 392) The cost
of a product or the service of a professional rises not because it is grwoing
in value, nor because the person needs more for survival, but because it
becomes scarce. Âø»ø¯ {ºn°¨£x
QµõUQ, ö£õ¸Îß •UQ¯zxÁ® CÀø». 393) • A
translation by a talented person into a more developed language can far excel
the original in readability. • A
noted scholar who lacks comprehension can translate, annotate, abridge,
lecture on a subject he does not understand. •
Academic intelligence can be trained to perform all academic exercises though
fully incapable of essence. ]¸èiø¯U Ph¢u §÷»õP®. _ÁºUP©õS®. 394) What is
most desirable at any given moment is the greatest possible harmony. _•P®
_£õÁ©õP ÷Ásk®. 395) The
question is whether the act moves you or you move the act. Bk£ÁÚõ,
Bmk¨£ÁÚõ. 396) It is
very true that ‘news’ of juicy interest travels across the country. It is
equally true how blind those self-same people are blind to what happens
inside the house. If they know little of their households, they surely
know less of themselves. Áu¢vø¯ |õk® ©Ú® ÁõÌøÁ¯Ô¯õx. 397) A rich
man, sometimes even after losing his wealth, when he has no money at all,
never panics because of his knowledge of wealth. He who has seen the Spirit
in himself never panics, whatever the helplessness that the circumstances
foist on him. Bß©õøÁU Psh¤ß BÇ®Áøµ GxÄ® Bhõx. 398) The
greatest insult to a self-respecting man is to offer any help, even if it is to save him from death.
When poverty acquires that self-respect, it is transformed into wealth. ÁÖø© ö£Ö® uß©õÚ® »òª. 399) Reading
a story again and again makes us better understand the plot, not the
characterisation, which requires thought based on the knowledge of character.
Reading Life Divine over and over will reveal the arguments in a clearer
light. To know the essential thought behind the writing, one should prefer
thinking to reading. £izuÔÁvÀø» life Divine ]¢vzx AÔÁx. 400) It is said that perfection is not attainable. How true this is, I
do not know. Surely those who idolise non-existent perfection never attain
it. Perfection is certainly attainable within the same plane, as the
manufactured products show. When Perfection is construed to embrace more
than one plane, it remains unattainable. ]Ô¯uß §µn® Qmk®. ö£›¯uß §µn® Gmhõx. |
