Work Silently
For the sake of sadhana and for the sake of
work, it is always better to work
silently.
When there is some work to do, the less one speaks of it the better it
is.
Talk as little as possible.
Work as much as you can.
X has a very bad habit of coming and talking to people while they are
working. If he does not work himself, he should at least allow others to work
conscientiously.
So if he comes again to talk while you are working, you had better tell
him – ”No, not now, we can talk when I have finished my work.”

PURITY
Purity is the best of
powers.
This is purity, to
accept no other influence but only the influence of the Divine.
On earth, true purity is
to think as the Divine thinks, to will as the Divine wills, to feel as the Divine
feels.
24 September 1945
*
If one lives only for
the Divine and by the Divine, there follows a perfect purity.
Purity is perfect
sincerity and one cannot have it unless the being is entirely consecrated to
the Divine.
Mother, tell me how I can keep Your service holy
and free from the slightest stain of human impurity.
By wanting it and always aspiring for it.

I do
not like that the word love should be polluted to speak of sexual desire, the
human inheritance of the animal.
You are making a great
confusion between maternal sentiment which is, in the physical, an expression
of the force of the universal Mother, and the physical act of procreation which
is something wholly animal, most often even bestial, and which is only a means
that Nature has found to perpetuate the different species.

Sexual relations belong
to the past, when man was closer to the animal than to the Divine. All depends
on what you expect from life, but if you sincerely want to do the Yoga, you

CHEERFULNESS
Cheerfulness: a joyous
smile of Nature.
Cheerful endeavour: the joy that one finds in the effort towards the
Divine.
Mental cheerfulness: it
knows how to take delight in everything.
Keep a cheerful mind and
a peaceful heart. Let nothing disturb your equanimity and make every day the
necessary progress to advance with me steadily towards the goal.

HAPPINESS
Happy heart: smiling,
peaceful, wide open, without a shadow.

that you are much more helpful when you are quietly happy than when you become

MATERIAL DESIRES
Do not expect any satisfaction from
physical life and you will no more be tied to it.
For our passage in the material world,
what is indispensable to our life and action is put at our disposal according
to the place we should occupy there.
The more we are
consciously in contact with our inner being, the more exact are the means we
are given.

Things

QUARRELS
You cannot expect
the whole world to be at your service and everything to happen
as you fancy it to be more convenient for you.
You must stop quarrelling with everybody and about everything; otherwise
how can you expect to make any progress in yoga?

Keep this attitude − never side with anybody nor take up any
personal quarrel − think only of the Divine Peace, Harmony, Light and
Happiness and become more and more their purified and quiet instrument.

The
Vital
It came to my realisation that Life-Force and
the
Force to create movements in the body is seated deep
within behind the upper abdomen.
Yes, there
is a seat of creative vital force there.

The
vital is the seat of our power, energy, enthusiasm, effective dynamism. It
needs a systematic education.
Vital centre: passionate and strong, it asks for
control.
It
is the vital that gives enthusiasm, but the vital by nature is unsteady and
always wants new things. Unless it is converted and becomes a docile servant of
the Divine, things are always fluctuating.
Power
of vital expression is useful only when the vital is con

The Senses
The
senses are liars − they do not convey to us the truth of things but only
an incomplete and even falsified appearance of things.
It
is extremely ignorant to think that the eyes and ears never deceive us. Every
psychologist knows that they do; it is a fact known to all that one cannot rely
on human evidence based on the eyes and ears and that human deductions founded
on them can lead to gross errors. The same incident reported by ten different
persons elicits ten different versions.
Accurate
perception: a perception which does not deform the Truth.
Purified
senses can be obtained only by a total surrender to the Truth.

Heroism
and Bravery
Heroism is
to be able to stand for the Truth in all circumstances, to declare it
amidst opposition and to fight for it whenever necessary.
And to act
always from one's highest consciousness.
Heroism:
1) To do
always what is most beautiful and most noble.
2) To act
always from the height of one's consciousness.
Heroic
action fights for the beautiful and the true without fear of obstacles and
opposition.

Will and
Perseverance
WILL
Will: power of
consciousness turned towards effectuation.
A persevering will
surmounts all obstacles.
One must have an
unvarying will to acquire what one does not have in one's nature, to know what
one does not yet know, to be able to do what one cannot yet do.
One must progress
constantly in the light and the peace which come from the absence of personal
desire.
If one has a strong will, he has only to
orient it properly; if he has no will, he has first of all to build one for
himself, which always takes long and is sometimes difficult.
