17 November 2008   A morning prayer Mother Divine, grant that today may bring to us a completer consecration to Thy Will, a more integral gift of ourselves to Thy work, a more total forgetfulness of self, a greater illumination, a purer love. Grant that in a communion growing ever deeper, more constant and entire, we may be united always more and more closely to Thee and become Thy servitors worthy of Thee. Remove from us all egoism, root out all petty vanity, greed and obscurity. May we be all ablaze with Thy divine Love; make us Th

15 AUGUST 1953   There is one thing everybody should remember that everything should be done from the point of view of Yoga, of sadhana, of growing into a divine life in the Mother's consciousness. To insist upon one's own mind and its ideas, to allow oneself to be governed by one's own vital feelings and reactions should not be the rule of life here. One has to stand back from these, to be detached, to get in their place the true knowledge from above, the true feelings from the psychic within. This cannot be done if the mind and vital do not surrender, if they do not renounce their attachment to their own ignorance which they call truth, r

24th November 1996     24 November 1996   Sweet Mother,              'What is this great change* of which You speak? How can we help?   This great change is the appearance on earth of a new race that will be to man what man is to the animal. The consciousness of this new race is already at work on earth to give light to all who are capable of receiving it and heeding it. The Mother * Mentioned in the Mother's New Year Message of 1969 * Douce Mère,            Quel est ce grand changement dont Tu parles ? Et comment pouvons-nous l'aider ?   Ce grand changement est l'apparition sur terre d'une rac

24th November 1997     24 NOVEMBER 1997     Out of earth's heavy smallness we must break, We must search our nature with spiritual fire: An insect crawl preludes our glorious flight; Our human state cradles the future god, Our mortal frailty an immortal force.   sri aurobindo   À la lourde petitesse de la terre nous devons échapper. Nous devons explorer notre nature à F aide du feu spirituel : Une reptation de larve prélude à notre vol glorieux ; Notre état humain berce le dieu futur, Notre fragilité mortelle, une force immortelle.   sri aurobindo  

17th November 1997     Demeurer ouvert à la Mère veut dire demeurer toujours tranquille, heureux et confiant, — au lieu d'être agité, chagrin ou abattu —, c'est laisser sa force travailler en vous, vous guider, vous donner la connaissance, vous donner la paix et l'Ananda. Mais si vous ne pouvez pas demeurer ouvert, alors aspirez constamment, mais tranquillement, pour que vous puissiez vous ouvrir.   sri aurobindo   To remain open to the Mother is to remain always quiet and happy and .confident — not rest­less, not grieving or despondent, to let her force work in you, guide you, give you knowledge, give you peace and Ananda.

17th November 2002       17 November 2002   There is no one for whom it is impossible to realise the Divine. Only, for some it will take many, many lives, whereas there are others who will do it in this very lifetime. It is a question of will. It is for you to choose.     But I must say that at the present moment conditions are particularly favourable. The Mother     Il n'existe personne qui soit dans l'impossibilité de réaliser le Divin. Seulement pour certains cela prendra beaucoup, beaucoup de vies, tandis qu'il y en a d'autres qui le feront dans cette existence elle-même. C'est une question de volonté. C'es

15 AUGUST 1966   Not the blind round of the material existence alone and not a retreat from the difficulty of life in the world into the silence of the Ineffable, but the bringing down of the peace and light and power of a greater divine Truth and conscious- ness to transform Life is the endeavour today of the greatest spiritual seekers in India. Here in the heart of such an endeavour pursued through many years with a single-hearted purpose, living constantly in that all-founding peace and feeling the near and greatening descent of that light and power, the way becomes increasingly clear. One sees the soul of India ready to enter into the fullness of her heritag

21 FEBRUARY 1956   For one was there supreme behind the God. A Mother Might brooded upon the world; A Consciousness revealed its marvellous front Transcending all that is, denying none: Imperishable above our fallen heads He felt a rapturous and unstumbling Force. The undying Truth appeared, the enduring Power Of all that here is made and then destroyed, The Mother of all godheads and all strengths Who, mediatrix, binds earth to the Supreme.
