DAILY MESSAGES
Series II
501) A substantial minority of people have become social beings. The
rest are under social authority. The rare few have become psychological adults. There were only two
evolutionary adults.µ 502) By responding to an incentive, one can make progress only in his
own plane. µ 503) To rise to another plane, one must respond to an ideal of this
plane. µ 504) He who seeks the opposites — higher goal and lower method — is
in the plane of contradictions. µ 505) All great changes in the society are brought to the next
generation through members belonging to the lower levels of the society. µ 506) The
success of the revolution depends upon the humility of the society in
general, the top stratum in particular, in adoringly accepting the leadership
emerging from a lower level. p 507) To
recognise the highest potential of the lowest layer of the society is a sure
way of raising the society. p 508) Mind
has to recognise the superiority of the body to release the fullest
potentials of the spirit. p 509) Integration
demands more from the less. p 510) It
is possible for us to see our moving from the lowest concentration to the
highest and vice versa. To structure our life so as to make it naturally move
from low to high concentration is to accept yogic status of life. p 511) To
accept the high wherever he sees it is possible for man. Having accepted it,
to discover his own superiority to it is usual for him. p 512) To
accept the high in the low is man’s inherent magnanimity; also it is his
innate tendency to rise with the high. p 513) To feel superior over the high he has
accepted is out of human capacity for analysis; also it is his natural
tendency to self-assertion, rather, self-affirmation. µ 514) The energy required to spiritually solve
all your minor and major problems is
the energy required to make one movement in yoga. s 515) By
making all movements movements of yoga, one initiates himself into sadhana. p 516) Mother begins where man ends. Mother
begins where man invites Her. Man’s
effort is an expression of his ego. His effort is fully in place, but not all
by itself excluding Mother. The right place for his effort is after calling
Her inside and letting Her work on him. & 517) After
calling Her inside, his effort will be a hindrance, if he is a perfect soul.
For others, the effort is necessary after She comes in. Truly the ‘effort’ is
to receive Her Force which is an intense enjoyment. p 518) The finest of friends will let you down,
betray and turn against you; excellent projects will prove to be empty
projects; Himalayan support will change into Himalayan opposition, if you are
wedded to a principle of betrayal or are in love with one who finds
fulfilment in treachery. µ 519) Generosity
and magnanimity of the mind in human relationships will turn out to be stupid
suicide in the spiritual plane. p 520) Human
beings see with the mind and can respond to magnanimity occasionally while
the ‘spirit’ in man sees through a generous gesture his vulnerability and
wipes him out in a trice. p 521) Man achieves in discipline, relaxes in
dullness or dissipation; those who achieve in perfection can also relax in
perfection. µ 522) Security destroys pugnacity and dissolves
defensiveness. µ 523) Security of one plane generates softness in
the next higher plane. µ 524) Security is saturated strength whether it
is in the physical or vital.µ 525) Security in the physical material plane,
gives rise to faith in the subtle physical plane. µ 526) Vital attachment, among other things,
expresses lack of mental clarity about relationships. µ 527) Absence of vital attachment induces the
search for material security. µ 528) Lack of an endowment in one plane is
compensated, with a greater intensity, by a corresponding endowment in a
lower plane. µ 529) Man has several relationships with other
men of which love is one. The relationship of a soul with another soul is love. µ 530) The soul cannot have non-love relationships
with other souls. µ 531) Man has to convert his relationship with
another man into love, whereas between souls relationship is itself love. µ 532) A
prayer for an event can be effective whether it is simultaneous or before or
after the event, because the time sequence in the subtle and material planes
is not the same. p 533) Wealth or knowledge or spirit in abundance
in later years can dissolve the malice, rancour, grudge of earlier years. µ 534) Any high endowment in sufficient strength
can neutralise any low endowment however long it has been there. µ 535) To create work because the instrument lies
idle is to organise creation backwards. Still, achievements like high poetry
sometimes issue out of it. µ 536) In relationships what matters is the
attitude, not the basic endowment. µ 537) Perfect attitude, in extreme occasions, can
make basic endowments deliver the opposite. µ 538) Adoration issues not for a highly placed
personality nor for an ideal HE represents at our level. µ 539) One adores another of his kind who is
perfect in his eyes, desirable to his emotions and within reach of his touch.
µ 540) The
Jagatguru is the Guru, not the human guru; but the jagatguru must be
discovered in the human circumstances. p 541) The heart does not issue an impersonal
emotion, nor does the body feel drawn to one whom it cannot touch. µ 542) The
jagatguru — the Divine Mother — does hover around man in the human guise,
reachable by his body’s service, accessible to his human emotions. p 543) As
the Divine Mother initially comes to man as failure, dullness, opposition,
frustration, betrayal, he is unable to see Her or accept Her. p 544) Only
he who accepts Her in that guise will be able to discover Her in the higher
forms of success, richness, service, fulfilment, loyalty. p 545) He
who refuses to recognise Her in Her early appearances waits till his
discovery of Her as failure matures into tragedy. p 546) Even
when SHE is on earth as the Avatar in a physical human form, SHE chooses to come to man in the
beginning as failure, etc., when SHE desires to reach him more
intensely. p 547) The
Divine Form is for the external sight and appearance where there is no
intensity. HER intense personal touch is, in his own
emotions, representing them (emotions) inversely. p 548) Sincerity
is that which recognises HER touch in the physical, vital planes as SHE comes to him in the guise that is
real to him. p 549) Resistance
is the Force insisting on its course. Sincerity is its recognition of the
Consciousness. Reversal of consciousness is Force becoming conscious. p 550) People refuse to accept the greater wisdom
of one who still belongs to their plane of consciousness. µ |
