After reading a hitherto unpublished letter of Sri Aurobindo's "... Although St. Paul had remarkable mystic experiences and, certainly, much profound spiritual knowledge (profound rather than wide, I think) - I would not swear to it that he is referring [["For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory." (I Corinthians 15:53-54) ]] to the supramentalised body (physical body). Perhaps to the sup

-539_Bhasker's gingee drowning.html (Soon afterwards, about a child from the School who drowned during a picnic organized by the School group of his age.) I've got V.'s notebook. [[V. is a young disciple who puts questions to Mother in his "notebook." ]] He writes to me (rather bluntly, as they say in English), "When I learned that B. had drowned, it neither troubled nor affected me; I simply thought it wasn't true." And why? "Because you knew" (that's what he writes me), "you knew we had all gone out for a picnic, and therefore nothing could happen." (Mother laughs) I found this delightful - delightfully impertinent![[ The disciple's question was formulated thus:

Ramdas does not at all consider that the world as it is, is good. No, but I know all these people, I know them thoroughly! I know Chaitanya, Ramakrishna and Ramdas thoroughly. They are utterly familiar to me. It doesn't bother them. These are people who live with a certain feeling, who have an entirely concrete experience and live in this experience, but they don't care at all if their formation - they have not even crystallized it, they leave it like that, vague - contains things that are mutually contradictory, because, in appearance, they reconcile them. They do not raise any questions, they do not have the need for an absolutely clear vision;

Dear Pavitra, The following passage, taken from the Revue des Deux Mondes of March 1960, was part of a course taught by Dimitri Manowilski in 1931 at the Lenin School of Political Warfare in Moscow: 'Our turn will come in twenty to thirty years. To win, we need an element of surprise. The bourgeoisie should be lulled to sleep. Therefore, we must first launch the most spectacular peace movement that has ever existed, replete with inspiring proposals and extraordinary concessions. The stupid and decadent capitalist countries will cooperate joyfully in their own destruction. They will jump at this new opportunity for friendship.

I didn't name her, but it was Annie Besant. She recounted all her lives with all the details - right from the ape! I didn't read her books, incidentally. page 187 , Mother's Agenda , volume 5 , 12th Sep - 1964

AGENDA OF THE SUPRAMENTAL ACTION ON EARTH On March 19 during the translation class the inner voice said: Hold yourself straight and the body sat up and held itself absolutely straight during the entire class. 1. The following text was given by Mother in both French and English. 2. Later added by Mother 3. Note written by Mother in French At this period, Mother's back was already bent. This straightening of her back seems to be the first physiological effect of the 'Supramental Manifestation' of February 29, which is perhaps the reason why Mother noted down the experience under the name 'Agenda of the Supra

The first time I came here and spoke with Sri Aurobindo about what was needed for the Work, he told me (he also wrote it to me) that for the secure achievement of the Work we would need three powers: one was the power over health, the second was the power over government, and the third was the power over money. Health naturally depends upon the sadhana; but even that is not so sure: there are other factors. As for the second, the power over government, Sri Aurobindo looked at it, studied it, considered it very carefully, and finally he told me, 'There is only one way to have that power: it is TO BE the government. One can influence individuals

Falsehood has become acute and terrible. It has to go, so it's clinging. Since yesterday it's become so terrible that no one can be trusted. page 153 - Mother's Agenda , volume 12 , 30th May - 1971

-388_Sri Aurobindo's symbol.html The symbol is interesting. It looks like Sri Aurobindo's. I am the one who designed Sri Aurobindo's, and I adapted it from this one. Look, they made the central square very elongated. The one done here is more correct: Pavitra made all the sides equal. But the one for the Cosmic Review was elongated, with the lotus in the center. It's the same [as the one for the Cosmic Review], only elongated so that the two triangles meet and form a square. I am keeping this to show Pavitra, because that's what I had first tried to make. But obviously the one we have now is correct. It was Thé
