DAILY MESSAGESSERIES XIII 251) Independence and self-respect are
noble and magnificent. In small characters,
they degenerate into fads of unseemly, self-asserting, dry offence. ö\õ¢uUPõÀ _¥m\® u¸® _u¢vµ®. Enºa]¯ØÓ ö\õ¢uUPõÀ
ÁÓsk Áõi¨ ÷£õS®. Self-respecting independence mellows into culture when it sweetly receives what is lovingly
offered. Human self-respect becomes
Self-respect when it gives it up in favour of love and affection. 252) The offensive evil accuses
independence of impertinence. Had the defending
man been humble, the evil will accuse him of being crafty and clever instead. The intention is evil. öPmhÁÛh® u¨£ •i¯õx. u¨£
÷Ásk©õàÀ, AÁøÚ AÈUP ÷Ásk®. Without destroying organised
evil, there is no use in trying to discover various
appropriate behaviours. It is weakness
that looks for politeness. 253) One can list the occasions where
irrationality passes as rationality, superstition
is honoured, blatant falsehood is acceptable, uncultured behaviour is permitted in
national life. He can locate all such
in his own life. He who
comes forward to eliminate them is a devotee. _zu©õP C¸¨£x _»£®. Aøua ö\´¯õ©À AßøÚø¯ Án[P •i¯õx. ÷\õ®÷£Ô, ö£õÖ¨¤À»õuÁß,

be transformed. They are surrender on our
part and transformation by Her. We
don’t know how this is necessary. The Life Divine tells us this. To know that
helps overcome the
physical mind’s Ignorance. GßÚ ö\´¯ ÷Ásk® Gߣx CµP쯮. Hß ö\´¯ ÷Ásk®

fulfill their aims, the Individual needs to
be stronger than the collective.
Otherwise he would be crushed. uõß Áͺ¢uõÀ £»® Á¸®. ÷\øÁ ö\´¯¨ ÷£õàÀ £»ïÚ®. The Individual dominating the
collective will be able to serve them. 257) In the life of ego we now live,
authority is demanded at all levels from above
and readily conceded from below. Where
ego does not rule, authority
is replaced by rationality. AvPõµ® ÷©÷» uͺ¢uõÀ R÷Ç AP¢øu GÊ®. Before relaxing authority from
above, authority should be replaced by strength
of Truth or Spirit. AvPõµ® ö\¾zuõux Aßö£Ú EnºÁx

suspicion in the vital as the vital expands the atmosphere for self-defence. áh® |®£õx. _Ö _Ö¨£õÚÁÝUS \¢÷uP® GÊ®. ©Ú® SǨ£©øh²®. 259) ·
Yoga is changing
from Natural evolution to spiritual evolution. ·
Nature leisurely
enjoys developing forms. ·
Spirit evolves
consciousness. ·
One is free to
shift from Nature to Spirit. ·
It is a rare joy which the spirit seeks. ·
Shifting from
Monarchy to Democracy, the individual evolves. ·
Shifting to new
technology, speed of social evolution rises. It is organisation of knowledge. ·
Yoga is
organisation of consciousness. ©Ú®
Bz©õÁx ÷¯õP®. 260) Protestantism from the spiritual side
and communism from the economic- political
side are the harbingers of democracy, stalling the movement of Catholicism and monarchy. ©ßÚµõm]²®, ©uzvß BvUP•® ©õÔ ©Ûuß Âkuø» ö£ÖÁx ÿ AµÂ¢u®. 261) Every time Mother relieves man, She
does so by a power not available for the
highest in the land. ]Ô¯øuz u¸® ö£›¯x®
ö£›¯uõP÷Á°¸US®. The legal advice not available
to Chief Minister was available for MSS. Mother’s avatar is the highest making it
available for the lowest. 262) The great retains its greatness even
in serving the small. µõáõ ¤aø\°mhõ¾® AxÄ® £ÄàS®. 263) The man who feels that he does not
like to be told what to do is one who has
been vitally disciplined against his will. It is a declaration that he is unwilling
to get out of his own folly. uß ©hø©°ß ö£¸ø©ø¯¨ ÷£õØÖ£Áß ¤Óº TÖÁøu HØP ©Ö¨£õß. 264) GÀ÷»õº

and excellent that it can completely veil
the very opposite of character. But acts will always reveal not only character but the deeper
nature. £ÇUP® _£õÁzøu ©øÓUS®. ö\¯À _£õÁzøu öÁΨ£kzx®. 266) Consecration that overcomes running
thoughts solves problems. To avail of
opportunities, one must be able to consecrate the mental occupation. Neither
is enough for yoga which requires the surrender of nature that is occupied. GÎuõÚ \©º¨£n® GÀ»õ

expresses as Darcy’s love for Elizabeth.
Hence its
irresistibility. Do we see that our
acts are expressions of Shakti’s
move? Bµ®£® öu›¢uõÀ BshÁß öu›²®. 268) Status is far more powerful than
dynamism as it infinitely sustains the dynamic
activity just as skill is vastly more resourceful than a one time help. Aø©v B°µ©õ°µ®

services are due. ÷\øÁUS›¯Áß
CøÓÁß. Of the many things you need to
know, one important thing is about your services,
if you are an idealist. 271) \›¯õÚøu ö\´Áx ÷Áø»°Àø»; ö\õÀÁøu ö\´Áx ÷Áø». \› Gߣx ÷Áø»UPõµÝøh¯ AP¢øu. Obedience is the hallmark of
service. 272) The basis of harmony in collective
work is the recognition of others’ endowment
and one’s own defects. ¤Óº vÓø©ø¯ HØ£x®, |® SøÓø¯ HØ£x® _•P©õS®. Harmony is recognition of others’ talents and our defects. 273) The centre of man is emotions. They
are powerful when the body expresses
them. Enºa] ø©¯® Eh¼À Ea\ ø©¯®. 274) The capacity at the end of a long
life of scholarship to patiently teach the alphabet
is the capacity to see the Infinite in the finite. ö£›¯x ]Ô¯øu ö£¸ø©²hß HØS® ö£¸ø© ¤µ®©zvØS›¯x. 275) This world cannot change by the ACT
of anyone however high he is; it is moonshine to think it will
change by preaching. An act in the
Centre of the universe
by one who represents it can certainly change this world. EßÝÒ EÒÍ E»P® ©õÔàÀ, E»P®

The secret of development lies
in man wanting it. ¤µ®©zøu ÁõÌÂÀ AÝ£ÂUP •i²® GÚ ©Ûuß AÔ¯ Theory EuÄ®. To present the highest achievable goal in terms of his present aspiration is possible for one
who understands the Theory in practice. 277) The Simputer technology, which by
itself will be great, will reach its full use
value if accompanied by educational technology and the most important technology of
psychology or spirituality of right use of human power – the formula for decision-making. PÀ²®, •iÄ®, P®¨³mhøµ²®, ]®¨³mhøµ²® £¯ÝÒÍuõUS®. 278) Man exerts himself at the plane he is
centred in. The yogi’s only work is to
turn all his urges to Him, making consecration his only work. God enjoys the revealing marvel of
involution as well as evolution. BÚ¢u® AÁß ÷Áø». To be able to see at any given
moment the distance from exertion and enjoyment
is human aspiration. 279) When
consecration of occupation is successful, it will open one to his existence in substance. _£õÁ®
_®©õ °¸UPõx. Occupation is in the depth of consciousness. 280) The touch of supramental
consciousness will ensure at least one thought
not known to the world. CÀ»õux GÊÁx CøÓÁß ö\¯À£õk. One act unknown to the world is a sign of the power of Supermind. 281) S÷£µøÚ²® ö£õÙø©UPõµÛß £›_ ¤aø\UPõµàUS®. 282) When something happens, everyone
related with the event will have a contribution
to it. It is a rule without exception.
To fully understand what happened
and why it happened is possible if all pool their information. If done properly, if there is a wrong it can be
rectified. ©Ú® ©õÔàÀ ©ø»²® |P¸®. AøÚÁº ©Ú•® ©õÔÚõÀ, |hUPõux® |hUS®. 283) In
our own life, though it is a small circle, we know moments of joy and we know
all its rules. We do often cross the limits a little, but quickly come back.
The joy lies in crossing the limits, though we know it will hurt. It
is equally true that we are never hurt. AßøÚø¯ AÔ¢x ©QÌ¢uõÀ, uÁÖ® ]Ó¨£õS®. AÍÄ öu›¢uõÀ
B£zvÀø». There is no danger at all in a
life dependent on Mother as long as we honour
the limits. Still crossing the limits
a little enriches the joy. 284) The idea of mastering every field is
not only not practical and foolish in its origin,
that is the way the partial ideal tries to fulfil perfection. It is basically
the goal of the part. •Êø©ø¯ •Êø©÷¯ Aøh¯ •i²®. £SvUS •Êø© £µÄu¼Àø». 285) Not to usurp what can be usurped is a
great virtue on the right side. Unless that
culture emerges, revolution at each stage is inevitable. JÊ[S C¸¢uõÀ uÁÖ Áµõx. KÊ[S C¸¢uõÀ ö£õ´ ö\õÀ» •i¯õx. CÀ»õu
E›ø©ø¯ Áõ›_ ö£ÖÁx ö£õ´ Bm] ö\´²® AìvÁõµ®. Rights emerge first,
organisations later. To use rights rightly, culture is needed. 286) Justification with another arises in
a heart where there is no self- justification.
It can be selfish. There is no
selfishness in Self-justification. |õß
AÁààÀ ]Ô¯x ©õÔ ]Ó¨£õÚ ö£›¯uõS®. 287) Evolution is considered to be emerging knowledge from Ignorance, not
joy from pain or Timelessness from Time, because here man is the instrument
of evolution. bõÚ® ©ÛuÝUSz uõß ÷uøÁ. Had evolution been centred in
life, perhaps evolution may be emerging joy from
pain. 288) When consecration crosses occupation
into a semblance of substance, one tastes
Timelessness in existence. _£õÁzøuU Ph¨£x Põ»zøuU Ph¨£uõS®. To
know concretely that we make our world is, in a sense, to cross Time. Crossing
Time, one can enter Timelessness of simultaneous integrality. 289) A determinant of a plane is the power
of law of the next higher plane. Law is
the determinant of the rule, character the determinant of behaviour. •iÄ GߣvÀø» Gߣx •iÁõÚ •iÄ. \•P® ©ÛuøÚ {ºn°UQßÓx. \mhzøu {ºn°¨£x {¯õ¯®, uº©®. 290) Vanity is the ideal aspiration of the
unformed weakness of the emerging consciousness. ö£›¯øu Aøh¯ •¯ÀÁx ö£¸ø©. •i¯õx GßÖ •iÁõPz öu›²® ö£›¯ {ø»ø¯ Gmh •¯ÀÁx Ãs ö£¸ø©. Ãs ö£¸ø© Û¯©õÚ C»m]¯®. 291) Man enjoys his capacities being
rewarded. He really prides in the society recognising
him for non-existing capacities. Pride of class and caste arise thus. CÀ»õu vÓø©ø¯ E»P® HØ£x ö£¸ø©. 292) Joy
in work is compelling. Joy in not
working does not even have that edge
of compulsion. ö\¯À
ö\ÔÁõÚx. ö\¯»ØÔ¸¨£x ö\Ȩ£õÚ ö\Ô²øh¯x. ö\¯»ØÓx ö\¯À£kÁx ]¸èi. 293) When a rich man seeks our help, we
see it is a lucky occasion. God seeks our
help through a poor man but we do not know its significance. Eu ö\´¯¨ ÷£õàÀ E£zvµÁ® Á¸®. EuÂø¯
÷Pm£Á¸US ö\´Áx CøÓÁÝUS ö\´²® ÷\øÁ. E£zvµÁ©õÚ
EuÂø¯ EßÚu©õuÚ ÷\øÁ¯õUSÁx ©Ú¨£õßø©. Attitude determines, not the
act. £õÁ ¦so¯® ö\¯¼¼Àø», ©ÚzvÀ Esk. 294) The weightage for age is so great in
India and even elsewhere that leaders
who emerged famous collected followers around them only from their juniors. uø»ø© Á¯vØS, vÓø©UPÀ». This is a wide sweeping rule
that covers Gandhiji, Sri Aurobindo, and a host
of others, though Caesar and Napoleon are exceptions. 295) Philosophic
urges of the unlettered is the parallel for the scientists’ quest for the formula of the
universe. AÔ¯õø©°À BshÁøÚz ÷uk£Áß AÁøÚ AÔÁõPU Põs£õß. For one in the early stages of a quest on the right
track, what remains is stupendous
work. What about one who, like the scientist, is looking for consciousness in Matter? His
best bet is he will discover the nature of
his quest. Seeking knowledge in Ignorance, one will discover the ultimate Brahman. 296) Wisdom begins when complete folly
becomes a concrete experience. ©hø©°ß §µn® Â÷ÁPzvß Bµ®£®. One can easily see the
complete folly of others, not his own. As man is evolved as an instrument of perfect ignorance,
theoretically, it is possible to
conceive it. 297) ·
Enjoyment first,
enjoyment last. ·
Enjoyment is
accomplishment. ·
Accomplishment
is enjoyment. ·
Existence is
enjoyment. ·
Consciousness is enjoyment. ·
Creation is
enjoyment. ·
Unity is
enjoyment, division is enjoyment. There is nothing except
enjoyment. BÚ¢u®
uµ ]¸èi°À ÷ÁöÓxĪÀø». 298) The
heart goes after one, at least the mind lingers on the one when he is away,
forgetting that while he was with you, you never looked at him. »UQ¯Áº, »Q¯¤ß, ©Ú® AÁøµ÷¯ |õk®. Indifference is subconscious interest. 299) When
devotees and sadhaks examine their work and thought, they will find new aspects in their
fields. When this new aspect is followed, it
will usher them into Her consciousness. Her consciousness opens infinities of infinites. Infinity is real when it is
seen as infinite infinities. 300) To be serious is to make life a silly expression seriously
organised. P»P»¨¦ PhÄÐUS›¯x. C»m]¯® ÁõÌÂß ©hø©ø¯
