DAILY MESSAGES Series VII 751) A man
follows his inclinations, impulses, urges and exhausts them in the course of
which he enjoys. For him, life responds with low income, tension, violent
enjoyment and their direct consequences. One cannot be moral here, but must
study the play of laws exactly. In case he wishes to attain to high income, peace
of mind, quiet, rich and smooth enjoyment, the very same laws will instruct
him accordingly. \mh®

to consecrate a work makes one aware of the failure which generates greater
force of work--concentration--that does evoke a life repsonse by its
intensity. Enough concentration evokes a positive life response from the
class. uÁÔ¯x,
uÁØÓõÀ £»ß u¸®. 753) Life
Response exists at all levels. To us, two of them are important and stand out.
1) In human life all events answer to those rules, 2) In higher life too
rules remain the same with one difference, i.e. there is no failure, nothing
is negative, and protection is implicit, not to be sought after. To
comprehend the latter aspect, one needs to know the Being is indivisible,
defects are greater than strengths, negative is part of the whole not to be
given up, and is actually greater than the positive. •Êø©ø¯ ©Ú® |õi •Ê ÁõÌÄsk. 754) Consecration
is possible only at the level of our existing consciousness which is
determined by our mental, vital, physical organisation. To raise that level
is to be more positive and consequently consecration becomes deeper. {ø» E¯º¢uõÀ, \©º¨£n® E¯¸®. 755) Life
Response is practised to convert human life into divine life. To know each
value of ours very well and convert it into Mother’s value, is a step that
will set Life Response into its right context. ÁõÌøÁ AßøÚ¯õP ©õØÖÁx Life Response. 756) Life is
dynamic. Its energies never vanish. Either they are expressed in an
atmosphere of lower intensity or suppressed in one of higher intensity, but
they never disappear. E°¸ÒÍx
ÁõÌÄ, EÓ[SÁxsk, AÈÁvÀø». 757) Man is
more civilised in each century than before. But he has to exert himself
equally more. When handicapped persons exert themselves, as Helen Keller did,
they rise to the top. No less effort than Helen’s is expected of any
handicapped person to avail of social help. •¯Ø] •Ê•¯Ø]¯õS® ÁøP £Uuß ©ÛuÚõP÷Á C¸¨£õß. 758) Equality

is to have moved away from the ego. Esø© Gߣx AP¢øu°ÛßÖ APÀÁx. 762) During
times of crises in a company anything, however small, can be a determinant,
determining life or death. Money is very much that way. Instead of trying to turn around by the
strength of the scanty generation of excess cash, cash infusion can turn the
company around at once, thus ensuring higher cash surplus. E°øµ Gk¨£÷u E°º öPõkzuõÀ E£›¯õP Á͸®. 763) We often
think, “I should love to have a smooth life.”
Instead, it is better we develop a sense and a knowledge that is able
to look on what happens with a calm eye and smooth nerves. {®©v¯õP C¸UP ©Ûuß ¤›¯¨£kQÓõß. C¸¨£x GÀ»õ® {®©v¯õP C¸UQÓx Gߣ÷u bõÚ®. 764) To know

is possible in Becoming, not in Being. Being of the Becoming is always a
wonder. Cøh¯Óõx ©»ºÁx ©Ûu ÁõÌÂß Bz©õ. 767) Ideas
acquire vehemence in the minds that are incapable of analysing them. Violence
is the characteristic of power undefined or ill-defined. ÂÁµªÀø» GÛÀ ÷ÁP® GÊ®. 768) Romance
is held so high in the ideas of people because it is not experienced by many,
maybe all, but is universally sought after. Põnõux GߣuõÀ PõuÀ P¸zxUS A»[Põµ©õ²ÒÍx. 769) Do you
know you CANNOT
give? Do you know no one will
receive from you? Do you know it is God’s Grace for one to receive what
you give? God alone condescends to receive the bearer of your sins, your
offering. • PõoUøP £Âzvµ©õÚx. • PõoUøP

is movement. Movement energises. Anything spoken out loud grows. • ÷£]ÚõÀ Á͸®. • ÷£]ÚõÀ Põ›¯® öPmk¨ ÷£õS®. 773) Mind
learns from anyone. The body learns only by itself. Mind
is subtle and can relate to many minds. The body is gross and cannot relate
to any other. The
mental man is grateful to receive useful instruction. The vital man refuses
it. The physical man resents instructions as well as information. ©Ú® |ßÔ²hß ÷PmkU öPõÒЮ.
EhÀ EÖ•®. 774) A
reticent person considers that all another person needs to know can be seen
in his ways and the little that he expresses. It never occurs to him that
that is not how he understands others. • E»Pzøuz uõß AÔ¯ ÷Ásk®. • AôuÀ

principles are stated shortly. Surely they cannot be explained in one or a
few volumes. Life Response is one such, as it embraces all of life. Põ»zøuz
ußÝÒ öPõsh P¸zøu _¸[PU TÓ»õ®, •iÁõP ÂÍUP •i¯õx. 776) He
who wants to achieve achieves. He who does not want to achieve does not
achieve. Both find their wishes fulfilled. ÷PmPõux QøhUPõx. ÷Pmhx QøhUS®. 777) Thought
is subtle, speech is gross. What is accomplished in the gross plane can be
accomplished in the subtle plane with very little energy. To accomplish
more with the least energy is the aim. Negatively a thought spoken out
destroys work. Positively a work formulated in thought achieves. Thought
formulated accomplishes in the material plane when it is perfect. Perfect
formulation of thought moves the attendent circumstances and achieves in the
material plane. Moving the circumstances is Life Response. 778) In an
organisation news goes to the top only to the extent it is required. In some
places more reaches the top. If all news reaches the top not by tale
bearing but as an expression of duty and confidence, the organisation will be
more dynamic. Consecration to the Divine is as difficult as voluntarily
reporting to the top boss. \©º¨£n® •u»õΰh® GÀ»õ Âå¯zøu²® ö\õÀÁx

idealism is occupation with an ideal. God delights while man is occupied. _®©õ C¸¨£Áß ©Ûuß. _®©õ

the past is reversed or lingers will reveal itself in one act or a word. Ph¢ux Psönv›À. 781) Mental
persons act on understanding. Vital people act on examples. Physical people
do not respond to understanding or demonstration. They ask for results
before the trial. Most of them are
forced to do something because they would not be left behind. Some feel
secure when they are left behind. £»øÚ

accomplishes. |õªÀø», \Uv \õvUQÓx. |Pº¢uõÀ, |õЮ |hUS®. |hUPõux® |hUP |õ® |Pµ ÷Ásk®. 785) Concentration
behind the heart is like walking one foot above the ground. Yoga starts there. Cu¯zvØS¨
¤ßÚõÀ CøÓÁÛ¸UQÓõß. 786) Habits
are in the physical substance, beyond the impulses that are in consciousness.
The impulses of habits are the furthest, if we are not to enter the subtle
physical. £ÇUP®
£õuõÍzvØS›¯x. `m_© EhÀ Aøu²® Ph¢ux. 787) Mother
will protect us when we give to Her all that we know. Then She can protect us
from the unknown. Her protection even from the unknown is complete, when
the known surrenders itself. EÒÍøu \µn® ö\´uõÀ, CÀ»õuv¼¸¢x® AßøÚ £õxPõ¨£õº. 788) Judgement
has its rightful place in society and in social relationships but not for the
individual or in a psychological sense. One cannot judge himself
adequately or rightly. How can he ever think of judging another
psychologically? ¯õøµ¨ £ØÔ¯ A¤¨¤µõ¯® TÓÄ® |©US E›ø©°Àø». 789) ‘I want
Mother’ is different from ‘I offer myself to Mother.’ The one may be
egoistic, while the other cannot be so easily. Seeing my ego standing in
the way of Mother’s ideal, wanting it to be dissolved cannot be egoistic, as
it is the awakening of the Being. Bz©õ ÂÈzx AP¢øu AÈÁx ÂȨ¦. 790) We see
we go back to our old habits, having cherished a new one for some time. It
is the conscious that learns, and the substance asserts after some time. Whatever
the substance learns is never given up. That is why old habits die hard.
Mother calls the process of substance unlearning what it has learnt,
transformation. • EhÀ

©õÖ®. ©õÖÁx v¸Ä¸©õØÓ®. 791) Integrality
of existence, supramental vision, Divine Life, transformation of the physical
substance, Being of the Becoming, simultaneous integrality of the
Time-eternity and Timeless-eternity, Delight of Lila, Marvel, Spiritual
evolution, knowledge emerging from Ignorance, taste of Ignorance is over are
the several ways of expressing the vision of Sri Aurobindo. EhÀ
AÔÁx E»P® AÔÁx. 792) Each
problem that we face brings to us a certain truth hidden by falsehood. We
must seek the Truth behind the appearance. That Truth will be found inside us
as it is a universal Truth. The problem will not be there once it is seen. \zv¯zøuU PshõÀ ¤µa]øÚ Â»S®. 793) Man is
social, not spiritual. He begins with social evolution which is social
prosperity expressed as status. Anyone who has risen in social status by
higher prosperity can step into spiritual evolution. BshÁß A¢uìuõP Bµ®¤UQßÓõß. Social status is a complete
whole. So, it serves as a good beginning. One’s
prosperity is an index for his aspiration. 794) Process
of evolution begins with the desire for evolution called aspiration. ÷Ásk®

is as enjoyable as dullness. It takes a great effort to be dynamic. _®©õ C¸¨£x _P® GßÓõÀ ÷\õ®÷£Ô¯õP C¸¨£x _P® GßÖ ©Ûuß öPõshõß. 796) Parts of
the being are dull. Soul awakening energises the parts. Soul awakening in
the parts thrills the parts and generates the emotion of gratitude. Bz©õ ÂȨ£x ãÁÝÒÍ ÷|µ©õS®. 797) All-inclusive
concentration is NOT tobe developed in meditation as meditation narrows the being to
one part. It is to be developed in the waking consciousness, especially in
work, as all the energy gets expressed in work and expands the person to the
full limits of his being. ãÁÝUS

is for the eye. There is no darkness in the world. Pain is for the nerves.
There is no pain in the world. C¸Ò

]¸èi°¼Àø». 799) The
lover seeks love. Another seeks money in marriage. The money so sought gives
him love in later years. The love sought in marriage helps to oust love
forever. It is not in the thing sought but how we seek that the truth
lies. Life responds to your seeking. ÷Pm£uØS GvµõÚx QøhUS®. 800) Communication
is a relationship of exchange. Non-communication is effective relationship. ÷£\õ©¼¸¢uõÀ Põ›¯®
