THE NEW CREATION Action is a narrowing of the consciousness in order to achieve a particular object. The creation of a new world is no exception to this rule. Realisation of the new creation: it is for this that we must prepare ourselves. Anything and everything can be an instrument for the Supreme Wisdom to prepare the earth in view of the new creation! Matter prepares itself to receive the supramental: matter tries to liberate itself from old habits to prepare for the new creation. Ideal of the new creation: the ideal must be progressive in order to realise itself in th

All those students who want to learn how to succeed in life and make money are not wanted here. We want only those who want to live a higher life. The children have to decide whether they want to belong to the new life or to be “successful” and live an ordinary life. I think that some of the children will go away. ~ 30 January 1972 > Works Of The Mother > English > Cwmce > More Answers From The Mother Volume-17 > Series Five (1960-1973)

A Muslim writer, Abu Abbas, tells us of the glory of King Solomon, who reigned in Jerusalem, the holy city of the Hebrews. In his throne room there were six hundred seats, half of which were occupied by sages, the other half by Jinns or genies who assisted Solomon by their magic power. Throughout the sittings of the Council, a multitude of great birds would appear at a word from the king and spread their wings to shade the people in the six hundred seats. And at his command, each morning and evening, a powerful wind would arise, lifting up the whole palace and instantaneously transporting it a month's journey away. In this way, the king

THE AVATAR Avatar − the Supreme manifested on earth in a body. The Avatar: the supreme Divine manifested in an earthly form − generally a human form − for a definite purpose. The Divine, being all-powerful, can lift people up without bothering to come down on earth. It is only if it is part of the world arrangement that he should take upon himself the burden of humanity and open the Way that avatarhood has any meaning. 6 March 1935 Men tolerate the presence of the Divine upon earth only on condition that He suffers there.

Conditions for Admission Do not judge on appearances and do not listen to what people say, because these two things are misleading. But if you find it necessary to go, of course you can go and from an external point of view it may be indeed wiser. Moreover it is not easy to remain here. There is in the Ashram no exterior discipline and no visible test. But the inner test is severe and constant, one must be very sincere in the aspiration to surmount all egoism and to conquer all vanity in order to be able to stay. A complete surrender is not outwardly exacted but it is indispensable for those who wish to stick on,

National Education Our aim is not a national system of education for India, but an education for the world at large. Sublime Mother, Our aim is no exclusive national system of education for India but an essential and fundamental education for all mankind. But, is it not true, Mother, that this education, because of India's special fitness (by virtue of its past cultural striving and attainment), is India's privilege and special responsibility towards herself and the world? At any rate, this essential education is India's national education to my mind. In fact, I regard this as the national education of each great country with characteristic differentiation

Paid Workers You should be very polite with those who depend upon you for their living. If you ill-treat them, they feel very much but cannot reply to you as man to man for fear of losing their job. There may be some dignity in being rough with your superiors, but with those who depend on you, the true dignity is to be very courteous. June 1932 page 174, vol -13, Words of The Mother
