Religion and Occultism
RELIGION
God gives Himself to His whole creation; no one religion holds the
monopoly of His Grace.
Instead of excluding each other, religions ought to complete each other.
The spiritual spirit is not contrary to a religious feeling of
adoration, devotion and consecration. But what is wrong in the religions is the
fixity of the mind clinging to one formula as an exclusive truth. One must
always remember that formulas are only a mental expression of the truth and
that this truth can always be expressed in many other ways.

DOCTORS AND MEDICINES
Illnesses
Truth
is supreme harmony and supreme delight.
All
disorder, all suffering is falsehood.
Thus it can be said that illnesses
are falsehoods of the body and, consequently, doctors are soldiers of the great
and noble army fighting in the world for the conquest of Truth.
If we take the human body as a
tabernacle of the Lord, then medical science becomes the ritual of worship and
doctors the priests who officiate in the temple.
Thus
considered, the medical career is priesthood and should be treated as such.

No quarrels: a very important
condition to fulfil in order to facilitate the advent
of the Supramental.
A consciousness luminous without
obscurity, turned towards the supramental light and
full of a supramentalised plasticity are the
conditions for the manifestation of the supramental
light upon earth.
We must never forget that our goal
is to manifest the Supramental Reality.

After several
weeks of grave illness which
threatened the Mother’s life.
Just between 11:00 and 12:00 last night, I had an experience by which
I discovered that there is a group of people − purposely their identity
was not revealed to me − who want to create a kind of religion based on
the revelation of Sri Aurobindo. But they have taken only the side of power and
force, a certain kind of knowledge and all that could be utilised by Asuric
forces. There is a big Asuric being that has succeeded in taking the appearance
of Sri Aurobindo. There is only an appearance. This appearance of Sri Aurobindo
has declared to me that the work I am doing is not his. I

Do the gods of the Puranas and the gods of
Greek
and Egyptian mythology have any real
existence?
Between the gods
of the Puranas and the gods of Greek and Egyptian mythology, all kinds of
similarities are found; it could be an interesting subject for study. To the
modern Western world, all these divinities − the Greek gods and other
“pagan” gods, as they call them − are simply a product of human
imagination and correspond to nothing real in the universe. But this is a gross
error.
To understand the mechanism of universal
life, even that of terrestrial life, one has indeed to know that all these are
real and living beings, each in its own

KARMA
This sort of fatality that one sometimes
feels weighing heavy on one’s life, which is called Karma in India, is the result of past lives; indeed, it
is something that has to be exhausted, something that weighs on one’s
consciousness.
This is how things happen: the psychic
being passes from one life to another, each life on earth being the occasion
and means for a further progress, for a further growth. But it can happen that
the psychic takes birth with the intention of going through a certain
experience, of learning a certain thing, of developing a certain faculty
through a definite experience. Then, in that life, in the life in w

I have heard so many
contradictory reports on the effects of food, spices, etc. that logically I
have come to the conclusion that it must be − like all the rest − a
personal affair and consequently no general rule can be made and, still less,
enforced. This is the cause of my leniency.
Nothing was told to me about the aluminum
vessels of which I do not approve because aluminium
is not good for cooking. I am
speaking of my own experience.
You know that I am not enthusiastic about
servants handling the food − but many people seem to like it, throug

WILL TO CONQUER ILLNESS
Wake up in yourself a will to
conquer. Not a mere will in the mind but a will in the very cells of your body.
Without that you can’t do anything; you may take a hundred medicines but they
won’t cure you unless you have a will to overcome the physical illness.
I may destroy the adverse force that
has possessed you. I may repeat the action a thousand times. But each time that
a vacuum is created it will be filled up by one of the many forces that try to
rush in. That is why I say, wake up the will to conquer.

It is true that “we” are passing through a difficult
period (“we” means the world) but those who remain steady will get out of much stronger than before.
We are definitely not living at a
time when men have been left to their own means.
The Divine has sent down His
consciousness to enlighten them.
All who are able to do so, should
profit by this.
Truth will conquer in spite of the
turmoil.
Even within the confusion, there is
the seed of the Divine order.
Inwardly things seem to be improving;
outwardly a
sort of disintegration seems to be at the
door. Where
do we stand?
