1967 May I make the choice, constantly, sincerely and integrally, as the Divine Mother may wish. Pranam. A good year of great progress towards the Light and total consecration. With my blessings. 1.1.67 In 1958 the Mother said, "If things go on advancing at this speed, it seems more than possible, almost evident, that what Sri Aurobindo wrote in a letter is a prophetic announcement: The supramental consciousness will enter a phase of realising power in 1967. "1 Have things advanced at the required speed? Yes. 2.1.67 May I try to make my nights conscious? I pray for guidance. 1 Questions and Answ

The meaning of blue light depends on the exact character of colour, its shade and nature. A whitish blue like moonlight is known as Krishna's light or Sri Aurobindo's light – light blue is often that of Illumined Mind – there is another deeper blue that is of the Higher Mind; another, near to purple, which is the light of a power in the vital. The pale whitish blue light is “Sri Aurobindo's Light” – it is the blue light modified by the white light of the Mother. The pale blue light is mine, the white light is the Mother's. The world you saw above the head was the plane of the Illumined Mind which is a level of consciousness much higher than the human intelligence. It is the

It is only the Indian who can believe everything, dare everything, sacrifice everything. First , therefore become Indians. Recover the patrimony of your forefathers, recover the Aryan thoughts, the Aryan discipline , the Aryan character, the Aryan life. Recover the Vedanta, the Gita, the Yoga. Recover them not only in intellect or sentiment but in your lives. Live them and you will be great and strong, mighty, invincible and fearless. Neither life nor death will have any terror for you. Difficulty and impossibility will vanish from your vocabularies. Sri Aurobindo

Prakriti is only the executive or working force – the Power behind the Prakriti is Shakti. It is the Chit-Shakti in manifestation: that is the spiritual consciousness. page 1080, Letters on Yoga , volume - 23 , SABCL The Self or Atman is inactive; Nature (Prakriti) or Shakti acts. When the Self is felt it is first an infinite existence, silence, freedom, peace that is felt – that is called Atman or Self. What action takes place in it is according to the realisation either felt as forces of Nature working in that wideness, as the Divine Shakti working or as the cosmic Divine or various powers of them working. It is not felt t

ON KOREA1 I do not know why you want a line of thought to be indicated to you for your guidance in the affair of Korea. There is nothing to hesitate about there, the whole affair is as plain as a pike-staff. It is the first move in the Communist plan of campaign to dominate and take possession first of these northern parts and then of South East Asia as a preliminary to their manoeuvres with regard to the rest of the continent — in passing, Tibet as a gate opening to India. If they succeed, there is no reason why domination of the whole world should not follow by steps until they are ready to deal with America. That is, provided the war can be staved

What was Ramakrishna? God manifest in a human being; but behind there is God in His infinite impersonality and His universal Personality. page 98 −Thoughts and Aphorisms , The Hour Of God Volume-17 , SABCL Of all these souls Sri Ramakrishna was the last and greatest, for while others felt God in a single or limited aspect, he felt Him in His illimitable unity as the sum of an illimitable variety. In him the spiritual experiences of the millions of saints who had gone before were renewed and united. Sri Ramakrishna gave to India the final message of Hinduism to the world. A new era dates from his birth, an era in

The subconscient is a dark and ignorant region, so that it is natural that the obscurer movements of the Nature should have more power there. It is so indeed with all the lower parts of the nature from the lower vital downwards. But it does send up good things also though more rarely. It has in the course of the sadhana to be illumined and made a support of the higher consciousness in the physical nature instead of a basis of the instinctive lower movements. page 1592 - 93 , Letters on Yoga , Volume 24 , SABCL It is only if the mind is silent that the subconscient can be empty. What has to be done is to get all the old ignorant

The Kural* 1. Alpha of all letters the first, Of the worlds the original Godhead the beginning. 2. What fruit is by learning, if thou adore not The beautiful feet of the Master of luminous wisdom? 3. When man has reached the majestic feet of him whose walk is on flowers, Long upon earth is his living. 4. Not to the feet arriving of the one with whom none can compare, Hard from the heart to dislodge is its sorrow. 5. Not to the feet of the Seer, to the sea of righteousness coming, Hard to swim is this different ocean.

NEITHER Mr. Tilak nor his speeches really require any presentation or foreword. His speeches are, like the featureless Brahman, self-luminous. Straightforward, lucid, never turning aside from the point which they mean to hammer in or wrapping it up in ornamental verbiage, they read like a series of self-evident propositions. And Mr. Tilak himself, his career, his place in Indian politics are also a self-evident proposition, a hard fact baffling and dismaying in the last degree to those to whom his name has been anathema and his increasing pre-eminence figured as a portent of evil. The condition of things in India being given, the one possible aim for political effort re
