Transformation and the Supramental TRANSFORMATION             There is a Supreme Divine Consciousness. We want to manifest this Divine Consciousness in the physical life. Blessings.               The goal is not to lose oneself in the Divine Consciousness. The goal is to let the Divine Consciousness penetrate into Matter and transform it.             The Divine Consciousness is at work to transform you and you must open to it in order to let it work freely in you. 17 October 1937 * Page - 91             Of all things the most difficult is to bring down the Divine Consciousness into the material world; must th

Thirdly, when people say that the stars in this or that house at the time of birth rule your life, they are quite wrong. The stars under which you are born are only “tape-recorders” of physical conditions. They do not rule the future of the soul. There is something beyond, which rules the stars themselves and everything else. The soul belongs to this Supreme Being. And if it is doing Yoga, then all the more it should never believe in the power of the stars or in any other power. An astrologer who predicts a catastrophe for you is like a joker. Many jokers say things like, “Today you will br

Admonitions       It is always the same old story of  “selling the birthright for a mess of pottage” (I understand the “birthright” as the possibility or capacity to be the first to reach the Divine Realisation).                                                                                                                                                                         4 May 1932 *       An evil that the Divine has forgotten ought to be forgotten by everybody. 18 December 1933 *       By what right do you want your will to influence others?

30 January 1951 This talk is based on Chapter 3 of  The Mother by Sri Aurobindo. The more complete your faith, sincerity and surren- der, the more will grace and protection be with you. And when the grace and protection of the Divine Mother are with you, what is there that can touch you or whom need you fear? A little of it even will carry you through all difficulties, obstacles and dan- gers; surrounded by its full presence you can go se- curely on your way because it is hers, careless of all menace, unaffected by any hostility however power- ful, whether from this world or from worlds invisible. Its touch can tur

Prayers PRAYER AND CALLING THE DIVINE       The whole of our life should be a prayer offered to the Divine.       Integral prayer: the whole being is concentrated in a single prayer to the Divine.       When coming out of sleep you must keep quiet for a few moments and consecrate the coming day to the Divine, praying to remember Him always and in all circumstances.       Before going to sleep you must concentrate for a few minutes, look into the day that has passed, remember when and where you have forgotten the Divine, and pray that such forgettings should not happen again. 31 August 1953 *       When waking up every morning, le

      In any case, whatever happens and whatever you do, do not allow fear to invade you. At the slightest touch of it, react and call for help.       You must learn not to identify with your body and treat it as a young child who needs to be convinced that it must not fear.       Fear is the greatest of all enemies and we must overcome it here, once and for all. 21 February 1952       Make of us the hero warriors we aspire to become. May we fight successfully the great battle of the future that is to be born, against the past that seeks to endure; so that the new things may manifest and we may be ready to receive them. 24 November 1952       To f

One who is no longer egoistic no longer has any personal place in this world. That is to say, in exact proportion to his impersonality, this personal world no longer has any personal relations with him. He is in relation with the world, with beings and things only as universal and non-individual forces are; like them, he acts in all, animates all, supports all, but in a general way he is completely ignored by all that he animates, supports and sets in motion. It is not he who no longer wants the world, it is the world that no longer wants him or, rather, that no longer even notices that he exists.
