DAILY
MESSAGES Series III 401) One
of the greatest secrets of this yoga, maybe the greatest secret, is described
as Sensing in oneself Knowledge emerging out of Ignorance. In other words, as only the psychic
can sense that emergence, the secret turns out to be what is well known, to bring
the psychic to the surface.

characteristic of the psychic emerging is joy. Should we feel the joy of
seeking the psychic, we will be on the right track. Presently we feel joy in
vitally egoistic dissipation. The key is to shift from here to there. 403) Man
is conscious because he has mind; hence we speak of his destiny. For his
ascent to Supermind, for his evolution, he must become the spirit in his mind
because only the spirit in his Mind can look back and recognise the spirit
behind the heart. Presently his mind thinks and thought leads nowhere. For
him to consecrate, the spirit in that mind should turn to the spirit inside. Physical
body acts and goes out. Vital
energy can act only outwardly. Mental
thought too can think and only think, an outgoing act. Consecration
is prakriti turning inward and surrendering to Purusha. Only the spirit in
thought -- the psychic -- can turn around and look inside. 404) Conscious
evolution at different levels means to raise the mental interest of
understanding by choice, to raise the vital interest of enjoyment by
conscious choice. The physical habit expresses itself irresistibly; to compel
the physical to express itself through a higher habit is conscious evolution
there. Existence
is by the understanding of the mind, interest of the vital and habit of the
physical. Conscious efforts of the mind to comprehend a higher scheme of
things, forge a better relationship or persuade the physical energy to
withdraw from an existing habit to express through a higher habit are efforts
through which the personality reorganises itself at a higher level which is
evolution. As it is done consciously, it is conscious evolution. This is a
parallel to the Infinite's self-conception which created the form and
impregnated it with the energy of the content so that it may evolve through a
process and rhythm. Man
repeating the function of Infinite's creation of form at his level to
raise Nature's expression of energy is
conscious evolution. ·

of experience and reasoning based on it give us the right knowledge for
action. Still the strength for action is wanting. Either waiting further or
calling Mother gives that strength. Ability to consecrate changes the
atmosphere, makes things happen and then it is possible to know that process. 406)
As the social person responds to
prestige more than money, the DEVOTEE responds more to the spiritual touch of
Mother than to prestige or even money. 407) During dhyana when the senses fall off,
suddenly the active reason free from the senses turns intuitive. It is bõ÷Úõu¯®,
revelation or inspiration. 408) Expectation is reasoning based on
unreality. 409) Each
time the mind sees a law or tries to deduce a law, suspension of that mental
effort gives place to the intuitive flash. That way, we turn reason into
intuition by consecration. 410) Vital desire punishes the guilty; reason
defends itself and refuses to punish; intuition tries to reward the guilty
for the enlightenment it received. Rising beyond intuition, strength rises
preventing anyone from doing wrong to you. 411) God gives you the occasion to shed the
psychological conditioning -- morality, ethics, sensibility etc. Because you
threw to the winds social conditioning, why do you lament instead of
rejoicing? (1956) 412) The enjoyment of Ignorance is like the
enjoyment of superstition, fear and the insecurity of poverty. If anything
excels, it is the utter fulfilment one feels in being fully organised in
selfishness. It is symbolised by the desire for popularity in the social
plane you have left far behind or the desire for wreaking vengeance against
ancient rivals. 413) Emerging
out of Ignorance into knowledge is emerging out of thought into Silence,
sensation into energy and from physical sensation into power. 414) People
are mental, subtle, spiritual, and rarely evolutionary. Mental persons can
fully absorb the thought of Sri Aurobindo from His writings as they are
produced by His intellectual activity. Subtle people best benefit from a stay
in Pondicherry or better still in the centre of Ashram service. Surrender is
The Method most suited to spiritually awakened souls when they give up their
own methods of mantra, asana etc. Evolutionary people are those who have the
Call and thus they are the children of Mother. She does the sadhana in them,
for them. 415)
When mind asks for something, it comes
forward to deny another, like Babur, because mind concedes the existence of
one only at the expense of another. Spirit has both, has no need to deny. 416) Every man responds more to God than for
material benefits or psychological enjoyment. It is not only man, every
object does so. We are blind not to see man's God in money and material
prosperity. 417) ¦»ß A¢x {èøh £¼UQÓx. _£õÁ® ©Ó¢x ãÁß ¦À»›zuõÀ \©º¨£n®

appreciate The Life Divine, one
needs to experience emerging from Ignorance. It is the Supreme which seeks to
discover His lost self by this emergence. Therefore he who experiences that
emerging is the Supreme at that moment. 419) The principle of Silent Will is to achieve
more by a greater inner exertion. This holds good in every plane till the
Absolute. If you don't speak, the other man
speaks your thoughts. If you restrain from action, the
other acts. If thoughts are not expressed,
Silence expresses. Refusing to be conscious, one moves
into Existence. Refuse to Exist, you are moved into
the Absolute. 420) Supramental
reason is reason that acts after shedding sensation, emotion and
intellectuality. 421) AhUP® Aߤß

Matter is the objective form of subjective Being, thought is the external
aspect -- objective form -- of Silence. Going from thought to Silence is
moving from the surface to the depth. 423) Life
makes you work hard and rise inch by inch. Grace suddenly opens and gives,
asking you to work to deserve it. Super Grace simply GIVES the end result. ·

tapasvi strains for years for a little result. Mother gives the result and
expects you to strain to hold on to it. Your accepting Mother as the most
desirable thing in this world and the other, makes you receive the final
result. 425) As
THEY have come on earth seeking man, instead of his seeking Them, THEY give
the result first. Whether you endeavour to deserve it or effortlessly possess
it depends upon whether you go to Her or allow Her to possess you. 426) Life
is karma. Turning to Mother is grace. Allowing yourself to be possessed by HER
is Super Grace.

authority into psychological authority has a parallel in the idea of an
individual supplying all his needs
himself instead of getting them from the society which is the easier of the two. 428) MARVEL; It
is disgusting to you because IT openly wishes to destroy you and enjoy the
very process of destruction. What it thus destroys is what you can never
destroy yourself, your ego. Consenting to that destruction, rather courting
that destruction, better still enjoying it, you are liberated from your ego
and the MARVEL discloses itself. Things
that you can so count: The
disgust. Immaturity. Unpardonable
politeness that aims at not accomplishing. Offending
treacherous selfishness. All
of them can do greater service than the crooked evil has rendered. 429) Rejection
of thoughts results in Silent Brahman whereas surrender of thoughts results
in Silence in the body. Thoughts are rejected from the thinking mind to
achieve Silent Brahman while their origin in the body is left untouched.
Surrender of thoughts removes or dissolves the thoughts in their very roots
in the body. Thus the Silence reaches the body. 430) When
the psychic is reached through bhakti, it can lead to moksha and not to
transformation. For the psychic to yield transformation, we should reach it
through consecration. Bhakti reaches the emotional psychic and not the
central psychic being. 431) Silent
Will is converting objective action into a subjective state. 432) When your surest method fails, it means you
have overcome the need for it. 433) Mental maturity of man recognising the
stability of social organisation represents money. 434) Standing
on the border of Self-discovery, the point at which knowledge emerges from
Ignorance, one realises that it is not given to the human guru to lead you
across. Only the Inner Guru can do it. 435) The
human guru who has dissolved his ego, has realised the Inner Guru. He can
lead one to the Inner Guru. 436) To feel an outrage, a disgust, even an
unease at one doing to you what you are doing in copious measure to another
--- even to the very same person -- is a response of the ego. No mantra, no method, no human guru can
help you at this point. This is that threshold that opens on to the Inner Guide.
Give up thoughts, considerations, methods etc. and turn to the Inner Guide.
The outrage, disgust, unease will cease and turn into HIS eternal joy. 437) The vital mind realising God will be
selfish, if not egoistic, even as the physical realising Love wants to
receive in the beginning. The truth of breaking the social, moral principles
such as chastity, honesty, etc. will dawn on him in the measure it is
advantageous to himself. 438) The
unconscious effort of 30,000 years can be abridged in 30 years, says HE. Calling
Mother accomplishes it. Hence calling Mother is to abridge 30 years into
three months. 439) AßøÚø¯ AøÇUP ÷Ásk® GÚ AÔÁ÷u §µn bõÚ®. 440) AßøÚø¯ AøǨ£÷u §µn ÷¯õP®. 441) Gx •i¯õx GÚ

always said to Purani, "Raise your thinking centre above the head." 444) Calling
destroys sensitivities and converts life into HIS marvel. 445) When
calling becomes a soul's attitude -- a way of life -- one finds: ·
complaints
cease; ·
others'
indulgence is as sweet as one's own; ·
selfishness
changes into selflessness seeing that all is in each, not only each in all; ·
God's
touch in the strangling hands is seen; ·
]À»øµ Bø\PÎß ÷Áº AØÖ¨ ÷£õ´ v¸Ä¸©õÖQÓx. ·
the
subconscient hell ceases to be so; ·
higher
ideas are communicated in Silence and are not made infructuous by speech. 446) The vital that has generously or
insensitively forgotten a great wrong done to it, has the capacity to
ruminate over a small injustice and grow very sensitive and self-righteous
about it. 447) Imperfection is as great a power as
Perfection. When Perfection grows consciously, Imperfection, keeping up the
balance from its side, gives birth to the above sensitivity. 448) Sadness
is vital ignorance. 449) Mental
ignorance is cured either by knowledge or by ignorance becoming familiar, if
curing means it doesn't bother. 450) Vital ignorance is cured, i.e. it is
prevented from being a bother, by the ignorant act repeating itself till it
becomes familiar. Such a familiarity can rise even by the first repetition. |
