Is it possible that the
individuality gets dissolved after
death?
These
notions about individuality... they are very much changed for me, very much.
Even the whole of this morning... But for a long time, for at least a month, it
has been different.
When people speak of individuality, there is always as though...
at least in the background, some separation, that is to say, something existing
independently and having its own destiny. But now, as the consciousness in this
body knows it, it is almost like a pulsation of “something'' which for the
moment has a separate action, but is at bottom, in essence always one; as
something which is projected lik

I have found some old papers, I do not know what they are. There
is an envelope from you.
It is a question on
Aphorisms.
“When I hear of a
righteous wrath, I wonder at man's
capacity for self-deception.''
Sri
Aurobindo, Thoughts and Aphorisms
*
It is
wonderful!
There was a question:
“It is always ‘in good faith' that
one deceives oneself: it is always for the
good of others
that one acts or in the interest of humanity and for
serving
you, it goes without saying. How does one
come to deceive oneself and how to know
it truly?'' ¹
It is
terribly true.
Even yesterday, without even reading it, I had a lo

Progress is going on at a giant's pace – that shakes the house a
little, but it goes on at a giant's pace. And for some, like X for example, it
is very conscious. She had an accident in the knee long ago and this leg is a
little weaker than the other one – there was a possibility of an upsetting. She
noticed that so long as she had the correct attitude she felt nothing, there was nothing, it seemed to have gone altogether.
As soon as she fell back into the ordinary consciousness, the illness
returned..... And she has had innumerable experiences. I found it very
interesting. Others also.
And it is truly interesting. It is truly interesting because it

A disciple complained that people took Mother's
time with questions often useless, while less and
less time was left for her to attend to apparently
more important work.Mother commented:
It has to be like that, since it is like that.
It is perhaps a lesson (it is an indication), but it has a
purpose. The lesson that I have to understand, I am trying to understand. I am
learning to be patient, oh! such a patience.... Always there are revolts,
insults, all that. For me it is absolutely zero and sometimes it is even
amusing. When I am in my own condition, the true condition of compassion, it
changes nothing, it does not raise even

I see clearly: it is the consciousness which is directing and not
the thought. So, if the consciousness is quietly open to the Divine, everything
is all right. All the while things are happening in the consciousness as if all
that was coming from the whole world (gesture
of assault from all sides): all that denies or contradicts the divine
Action – that is coming thus all the time (same
gesture). And so, if I know how to be quiet (gesture of self-offering, hands open upward), in an attitude of...
(Mother smiles) of non-existence, a kind of... I do not know if it is transparency...
I do not know if it should be called transparency or immobility; in any ca
