The atomic
scientist is not superior in intelligence to the primitive man. The wheel is not less revolutionary than the
Internet. The first man already had the form of the body we have. The world
is not going to produce greater minds than Socrates or Newton. What is new
now is that more and more people rise to greatness. The earliest aspiration is the last. ÷Áuzøu E»P® CßÝ® AÔ¯ÂÀø». Ea\Pmh E¯ºøÁ ©Ûuß Bµ®£zv÷»÷¯ Gmi Âmhõß. ©Ûu S»® Aøu ö£Ó |õÍõQÓx. ö£Óõu £Sv°À |õ® EÒ÷Íõ®. & 258)
Trying to do
good to another against his will is not only folly and infructuous but is a
sin against another soul's destiny. It is to be officious. µ 259)
Action based on
thought is an unconscious act, as thought is a movement away from the
conscious centre. p 260)
When aspiration
is not enough or missing, man consoles himself as not having faith, a rare
endowment. µ 261)
Not only is
aspiration missing, but there is active aspiration for vital enjoyment and
physical occupation. To be occupied is more enjoyable than aspiring for
the Divine. p 262)
Absence of work
gives room for intrigues, gossip, talebearing, etc. By taking to work and
making result the one conditoin of work, all these are banished. µ 263)
The sting of
the mean man is, after all, the reverse functioning of the higher spirit
expanding in magnanimity. µ 264)
The mind
understands God, the vital feels Him, and the body is capable of being GOD Himself. p 265)
Whatever work
is done is done by Grace. All obstacles are from man's ego. The ego is
created for the growth of life from matter. Its special duty is to centralise
actions and postpone unity, a deliberate move, deliberately done in pursuit
of delight. The longer it prolongs, the greater is the fulfilment. To be able to overcome ego is yoga. To be able to see the rationale of ego and the
pursuit of slow, deliberate delight, is to know the being in the becoming,
the ultimate WISDOM. & 266)
A
self-justifying thought gives place to an attitude that reverses it; by
accepting the opposite, ego dissolves slightly or in that measure. Man justifies himself; non-ego justifies God. µ 267)
Human
choice: Man bases himself on physical security,
acts by vital energy, is guided by mental thought and sustains himself by
spiritual patience. The greater the knowledge the society offers, the
greater energy it allows to be released by enjoyment, the greater security it
provides, the greater is the individual choice. Law and order, education, information and sense of
fairness decide the level of human choice. µ 268)
Reconciling
faith with reason or power with love is possible not in mind, but only in
Supermind. & 269)
One
characteristic of stupidity is to question its own basis and act against it. ~Û

Force is
essential to break down entrenched forms. µ 271)
Power lies in
the inner urge. Greater power lies in the physical urge. That urge loses itself when touched by calm from
above. Thought makes the urge initiative. By opening oneself to calm from above, and silencing
the thought, one becomes \ºÁõµ®£›z
v¯õQ. µ 272)
Spiritual
authority: Man, under an oppressive ruler, not only
submits to his rule, but comes to adore his atrocities. The spiritual
authority does 'atrocities' to the present society, and must be able to win
the approval and appreciation of people for its own doings, in spite of their
full knowledge of it. µ 273)
So far it has
been said, "He is a realised soul." Hereafter, we must say,
"He is a surrendered Being." p 274)
Austerity is to
inflict pain on the body and vital. Surrender is to give up the present human
enjoyment of dullness voluntarily. p 275)
When Life
begins to respond, mind's thought is too slow as events occur from all sides.
µ 276)
How much one
lives in the other's emotions is the characteristic of family and friendship. Shared emotion is friendship. Shared existence of emotions is family. Physical company makes for companionship. µ 277)
A family where
members are honest, industrious, unegoistic, affectionate, and unpretentious
is a place to which Mother goes without invitation. If they are devotees of
Mother, it becomes an Ashram SHE wanted.
Otherwise it precedes the place. The opposite tendencies work out either to
extinction or transformation. The former is a dangerous atmosphere which can
ruin anyone totally who comes into contact with it. The only true beginning is with the individual who
tries sincerely. p 278)
What you cannot
physically wrest from another, you certainly cannot persuade him to part
with. Your appeal to Mother can. It means Mother gives you the physical
strength you do not have. p 279)
Those who
suffer are those who enjoy what is there on the negative side. p 280)
By seeking
greater joy than what is available, one becomes a pioneer, an volutionary
spearhead, God Himself. p 281)
He who enjoys,
enjoys what is, but on the growing side. p 282)
The autocrat
holds all the power himself and is unable to conceive that the same power can
be expressed through an organisation in a far greater and richer measure.
Neither can his subjects conceive of it. Still, all over the world we have
democratic administrations and societies ruled by democratic values living a
far richer life than under the autocrat. Being in becoming changes from autocracy to
democracy. We are unable to conceive of the ability of Being retaining its
unity in becoming. p 283)
A woman was
tortured by the thought that her husband was depraved, mean, perverse,
immoral, unreliable and loved tyranny. She learnt that by one of Sri
Aurobindo's definitions, her husband was a great soul who had come forward to
undertake what ordinary souls had shunned. Sri Aurobindo said He adored his
feet. In spite of her great devotion to Sri Aurobindo, she was unable to feel
comfortable with that definition. p 284)
Men do not know
what gifts life has given them; nor do they know what gifts they missed. This
is unconsciousness. Normally, if this is brought to their notice, they have
several responses: bafflement, indifference, and derisive smiles. µ 285)
'Let Thy Will
be done and not my will' acquires significance ONLY when we understand that it is impossible for us to
know what to do next in any issue. p 286)
The poor, the
ignorant, the suffering and the diseased are like those who have been
electrocuted. Sympathy with them will only help the current pass through you.
It will not help them. If you can, you can turn off electricity. This is equally true of the selfish and the
perverse. Whatever one man's limitation is, he cannot be pulled out of it
even with his cooperation. Reaching a higher level and bringing it down alone
can be of any help. This is a rule
that has no exception. µ 287)
Whether it is a
small prayer or a great siddhi, without crossing the ego-barrier at least for
a while, it does not get fulfilled. µ 288)
Ego is the
trouble maker. No one can get over it because that is an effort of ego. The
ego's realisation that its time is over is essential. A sense of expansive
freedom of universality is the indication of the ego giving way. p 289)
The first step
to bring God's Lila is to receive His Joy, Peace, Silence, Power, calm,
knowledge and Force in oneself. & 290)
Surrender is
God in Man becoming God in the Divine. Surrender is Man becoming God in
action on earth. & 291)
God's Lila was
centred in Timelessness. It has moved now to Time. Integral Yoga is an
invitation to Man to join God in His lila now centred on earth. & 292)
Wherever Her
picture is, the intensity of the Samadhi is there. It means any heart that
calls is equally sacred to Her.&
293)
The emotion
towards the Divine is devotion. & 294)
The thinker
enjoys thinking even as the child seeks play as an outlet for its excess
energy. The devotion of the bhakta wells up and seeks an outlet for itself in
the Divine Personality. µ 295)
Knowledge is
acquired from first principles. For the scientist the first principles are
from matter, through empirical knowledge in the material plane. The seeker
starts from spirit in the subtle, causal planes. µ 296) Bø\÷¯ ÷Áshõ® GßÓ öuÎÄ® ¬•iÄ® Á¢u ¤ß |h¨£ÁØøÓU PÁÛzuõÀ £øǯ Bø\, ö|k|õÒ Bø\, £õÀ¯ Bø\, |õ©Ô¯õu Bø\PÒ Á›ø\¯õP¨ §ºzv¯õÁøuU Põn»õ®. Bø\ AÓ÷Á AÈ¢uõÀ, BÚ¢u® GÊ®. µ 297)
Concentration
in meditation is partial as it is centred either in the mind or in the heart.
Concentration in work is total, as the physical movement has a character of
totality having its own mind and vital. Theoretically, thinking and feeling
are on a par with working, but in practice, work is much fuller than either of
them as we are most developed only in the body. p 298)
What you have
outlived weighs you down. The entire culture is built upon carrying what has
served its term. It is conservatism. µ 299)
Finding mind
behind his physical vital acts, man has civilised himself. Sri Aurobindo
wants us to find the Supermind behind our mental acts for us to discover God
on earth. In fact, that Supermind is in constant touch with the Absolute.
What Sri Aurobindo actually wants us to discover is the Absolute in our
relative life. & 300)
He who is
unable to think works physically. He who is capable of inner concentration
need not work through thought or exert himself physically. The capacity to
surrender all inner movements dispenses with all work, mental or physical,
that is not necessary as a medium for surrender. p |
