(Mother leafs through "The Mother" by Sri Aurobindo, then reads:) Here: "Imperial Maheshwari is seated in the wideness above the thinking mind and will and sublimates and greatens them into wisdom and largeness or floods with a splendour beyond them. For she is the mighty and wise One who opens us to the supramental infinities and the cosmic vastness, to the grandeur of the supreme Light, to a treasure-house of miraculous knowledge, to the ..."[[We give the complete passage in Addendum. ]] There isn't enough light for me.... But there was a sentence there that suited you marvelously.(Mother reads again further on:) "Equal, patient and unalterable in her will she deals with men according to their nature and with things and happenings according to their Force and the truth that is in them. Partiality she has none, but she follows the decrees of the Supreme and some she raises up and some she casts down or puts away from her into the darkness. To the wise she gives a greater and more luminous wisdom ..." You should read all this passage. I am looking for that sentence.... You'll tire your eyes.... (Mother reads further on:) "Yet has she more than any other the heart of the universal Mother. For her compassion is endless ... I can't see - I am imagining more than seeing....You're tiring your eyes, leave it. (Mother reads on:) "... is endless and inexhaustible; all are to her eyes her children and portions of the One, even the Asura and Rakshasa and Pisacha and those that are revolted and hostile. Even her rejections are only a postponement, even her punishments are a grace...." All this passage. I am sorry, my eyes have become ... When there's plenty of light I can see very well.You're getting tired.Yes. But anyway, She is the one. page 19-20 , Mother's Agenda - volume 5 , 4th Jan 1964 |
But before you go to sleep, do this: you picture (picture it if you don't see it), you picture a white light. It isn't a crystalline light, mind you, it isn't transparent: it's white - absolutely white, a very bright white, a white light that looks solid. Picture it like that (and it is indeed like that, but you picture it): a white light. It is the light of the Creation, what is she called? ... Maheshwari? (Laughing) The supreme Lady up there. Yes, Maheshwari.Maheshwari's light. But it seems I always had it, because when Madame Théon saw me, it's the first thing she told me; she didn't speak of "Maheshwari," but she said, "You have the white light" that automatically dissolves all ill will. And I did experience it: I saw beings crumble into dust. So you take that, picture that, and you build a cocoon around yourself - you know, just as insects build their own cocoons - you build a cocoon before falling asleep. I will do it here, but your "picturing" is to help it be better adapted, better adjusted. You build a cocoon, and when you are quite wrapped in that white cocoon, when the enemies cannot get through it, you let yourself go into sleep. Then all that comes from outside with a manifest ill will cannot get in. That's certain. Naturally, there is what one carries in one's subconscient ... one must eliminate that by one's own will, little by little. But this Light is all-powerful, mon petit! (Speaking to Sujata:) You too can do the same thing if you have enemies at night. page 174 - Mother's Agenda , volume 6, 10th July - 1965 |
