The Gita is supramental |

I met a man (I was perhaps 20 or 21 at
the time), an Indian who had come to Europe and who told me of the
Gita. There was a French translation of it (a rather poor one,
I must say) which he advised me to read, and then he gave me the key
(HIS key, it was his key). He said, 'Read the Gita ...' (this
translation of the Gita which really wasn't worth much but it
was the only one available at the time - in those days I wouldn't
have understood anything in other languages; and besides, the English
translations were just as bad and ... well, Sri Aurobindo hadn't done
his yet!). He said, 'Read the Gita knowing that Krishna is the
symbol of the immanent God, the God within.' That was all. 'Read it
with THAT knowledge - with the knowledge that Krishna represents the
immanent God, the God within you.' Well, within a month, the whole
thing was done! page 43 , Mother's Agenda , volume - 1 , 1951-1960 , 25th Aug. |
When I was told that the Divine was within - the teaching of the Gita, but in words understandable to a Westerner - that there was an inner Presence, that one carried the Divine within oneself, oh! ... What a revelation! In a few minutes, I suddenly understood all, all, all. Understood everything. It brought the contact instantly. page 197 , Mother's Agenda , volume - 2 - 29th April - 1961 |
One thing struck me: you say that the Gita as Sri Aurobindo explained it is not overmental but supramental....Sri Aurobindo said that what he came to bring was already indicated in the Gita. page 367 , Mother's Agenda , volume 3 , 6th Oct 1962 |
