(Über ein älteres Gespräch aus den
""Entretiens"" vom 27. Mai 1953, in dem Mutter insbesondere
sagt: "Wenn das Bewusstsein sich im Hintergrund entwickelt hat und man die
Fähigkeit besitzt, es zu konzentrieren, kann man äußerlich tun oder lassen, was
man will, und doch handelt stets dieses Bewusstsein.")
Das ist genau die Erfahrung von heute morgen.
Die Erfahrung war folgendermaßen: Wichtig ist nur, das
Bewusstsein der höheren Gegenwart beizubehalten, das heißt, diese Gegenwart
muss konkret sein; dann ist alles, was man tut oder sagt - ganz gleich, was es auch sei -, Ausdruck dieser Präsenz. Und die Erfahrung von heute morgen bestand darin, den Unterschied

(Mutter gibt Satprem ein Päckchen Suppenpulver, das sie selbst noch nicht probiert hat.)
Du hattest keine Zeit, es zu kosten?
Das ist nicht nötig.
Etwas will mich unbedingt vom Essen abhalten. Ich weiß nicht ... Ich esse noch ... (wie soll man sagen?) aus gesundem Menschenverstand. Offensichtlich funktioniert der Körper noch auf die alte Weise, folglich
muss man noch die alten Mittel anwenden, aber ...
Das ist alles.

Hast du Neuigkeiten von P.L.?
Gerade heute morgen machte ich mir ein wenig Sorgen um ihn. Ich habe den Eindruck,
dass er sich ... in einen Abgrund reißen lässt. Das hat mir überhaupt nicht gefallen.

"
Die Angst vor dem Tod und die Aversion vor der körperlichen Auflösung sind das Stigma, das dem menschlichen Wesen durch seinen animalischen Ursprung auferlegt wurde. Dieses Brandmal
muss absolut ausgelöscht werden."

Das kannte ich nicht. Das ist sehr interessant!

Da wäre eine Frage, aber ...
Eine Frage?
Eine Tatsache, die dir wahrscheinlich nicht entgangen ist ...
Was?
Du hattest einen Besuch von E und seiner Frau, aus Italien ...
Ja, und ...?
Er stellte mir Fragen in
Bezug auf den "Tantrismus der linken Hand", weißt du, den "Vama Marga" ...
Was ist das?
Das sind diese sogenannten Tantriker, die sich der Sexualität bedienen wollen, um "Yoga" zu machen. Er hat mir alle möglichen Fragen gestellt, um herauszufinden, welchen Platz die Sexualität im Yoga hat. Dazu sagte er mir,

Knowledge of the Scientist and the Yogi
The climax of the ordinary consciousness is Science. For Science, what
is upon the earth is true, simply because it is there. What it calls Nature is
for it the final reality, and its aim is to build up a theory to explain the
workings of it. So it climbs as high as the physical mind can go and tries to
find out the causes of what it assumes to be the true, the real world. But in
fact it adapts “causes” to “effects”, for it has already taken that which is
for the true, the real, and seeks only to explain it mentally. For the yogic
consciousness, however, this world is not the final reality. Rising above the
mind into th

Resurrection
Resurrection
means, for us, the falling off of the old consciousness; but it is not only a
rebirth, a sudden change which completely breaks with the past. There is a
certain continuity in it between dying to your old self, your low exterior
nature and starting quite anew. In the experience of resurrection the movement
of discarding the old being is closely connected with that of the rising up
from it of the new consciousness and the new strength, so that from what is
thrown off the best can unite in a new creation with what has succeeded. The
true significance of resurrection is that the Divine Consciousness awakes from
the unconsciousness into which it has gone

Difficulties
in Yoga
The nature of
your difficulty indicates the nature of the victory you will gain, the victory
you will exemplify in Yoga. Thus, if there is persistent selfishness, it points
to a realisation of universality as your most prominent achievement in the
future. And, when selfishness is there, you have also the power to reverse this
very difficulty into its opposite, a victory of utter wideness.
When you have something to realise, you will have in you just the
characteristic which is the contradiction of that something. Face to face with
the defect, the difficulty, you say, “Oh, I am like that! How awful it is!” But
you ought to see the truth of th

Conjugate Verses
But first of all it is not so easy to distinguish what is true
from what is not, then to recognise, that is to say, to admit that a certain
thing is true; and above all it is more difficult still perhaps to recognise
that a certain thing is false.
In reality, in order to discern exactly
what is false requires such sincerity in the aspiration, such resolution in the
will to be true that even this little phrase “to know the true to be true and
the false to be false” means a very considerable realisation. And the
conclusion, “they attain the supreme goal” is a great promise.
There are teachings which say that one
must have no desire at all; they ar

Happiness
Among

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
1929
In 1929,
on Sundays, the Mother met a
small group of disciples at
the home of one of them. After a period of meditation she answered
any .questions
raised by the disciples.
Portions of fifteen of these weekly talks, which were given in English, were noted down
in shorthand by one of those present ; the transcript was elaborated by
another
participant, and finally revised by Sri Aurobindo for publication.
The talks, entitled Conversations of the Mother, were first
published for private circulation towards the end of
1931.
In
1940
