The idea that things are not in their place, mon petit, is something I understood even as a youngster, and it was eventually explained to me by Theon. In his cosmogony, Theon accounted for the successive pralayas [[Pralaya: The destruction of a universe at the end of a cycle. According to Hindu cosmology, the formation of each universe begins with an 'age of truth' (satya-yuga) which slowly degenerates, like the stars, till there is no truth left at all; it becomes a 'dark age'(kali-yuga) like ours, and ends with a cataclysm. Then a new universe is reborn out of this cataclysm and the cycle begins again. There is a correspondence here with a

You know that in the night that followed the darshan, they found Rishabhchand... [[An old and very faithful disciple whose body was found on the beach. This is the continuation of the series that began with Bharatidi, then Amrita, Pavitra.... Rishabhchand was the author of Sri Aurobindo - His Life Unique. ]] For almost a year he had asked me to leave. So, when he asked me to leave (he asked quite in earnest: he was suffering a lot, quite miserable), I did what I always do: I presented his request to the Supreme Lord and said to Him ... And then, he didn't leave. He recovered. He recovered and for some time he was much better. But his will to go remained. So t

It happened last night. For approximately three hours, the physical ego disintegrated for the first time in such a total way. Nothing remained but the Force, nothing remained but Sat-Chit-Ananda,' and not only in the consciousness but in the physical sensation - the divine Satchidananda spreading in a constant flood throughout the universe. These experiences are always absolute, as long as they last; then, through certain signs that I know (I am accustomed to it), I notice that the body consciousness begins closing up again. Or rather, 'something' - evidently a Supreme Wisdom - decides it's sufficient for this time and that the

I know - I know He wants me to learn not to take seriously the responsibility ("responsibility" isn't the right word), the formidable task of finding 8,000 rupees a day to meet the Ashram's expenses - in other words, a colossal fortune every month. And I very well see (because I told Him several times, "You know, it would be great fun if I had plenty of money to play with"), so I see that He laughs, but He doesn't answer!... He teaches me to be able to laugh at this difficulty, to see the cashier send me his book in which the figures are growing astronomical ([laughing] it's by 50,000, 60,000, 80,000, 90,000), while the drawer is nearly empty!

But these people just can't get out of their education! Here is a lady [A. Bailey], quite renowned, it seems (she's dead now), who became the disciple of a Tibetan lama ... and she still speaks of Christ as the sole Avatar! She just can't get out of it! And each one has the absolute Truth! page 181 , Mother's Agenda , volume - 2 - 25th April - 1961 The first thing I did this morning was to open this book by Alice Bailey (I've had it for several days, I had to have a look at it). So I looked ... Ah, I said - well, well! Here's a person who's dead now, but she was the disciple of a Tibetan Buddhist lama and c

/Sweet Mother, / /Why do we celebrate Christmas here? What special meaning does this day have for us? And why is a distinction made here between Europeans and Indians on Christmas Day? / *Long before the Christian religion made December 25th the day of Christ’s birth, this day was the festival of the return of the sun, the Day of Light.* It is this very ancient symbol of the rebirth of the Light that we wish to celebrate here. *As far as I know, everyone in the Ashram is allowed to come to the Christmas tree and the distribution. * The custom of sending special baskets to the Europeans and Americans comes from the

Yes, it's the physical mind. The japa is made precisely to control the physical mind. page 433 , Mother's Agenda , volume - 1, 11th Oct. 1960 I'm going to tell you what I saw - it's very interesting. First, emanating from here (Mother indicates the chest), a florescence of every color like a peacock's tail spread wide; but it was made of light, and it was very, very delicate, very fine, like this (gesture). Then it rose up and formed what truly seemed like a luminous peacock, up above, and it remained like that. Then, from here (the chest), what looked like a sword of white light climbed straight up. It went up very high and formed a kind
