   15 AUGUST 1949 A MESSAGE TO AMERICA Stop thinking that you are of the West and others of the East. All human beings are of the same divine origin and meant to manifest upon earth the unity of this origin   THE MOTHER 4 August 1949     I have been asked to send on this occasion of the fifteenth August a message to the West, but what I have to say might be delivered equally as a message to the East.  It has been customary to dwell on the division and difference between these two sections of the human family and even oppose them to each other; but, for myself I would rather be disposed

15th August 2006   Spirituality is not a high intellectuality, not idealism, not an ethical turn of mind or moral purity and austerity, not religiosity or an ardent and exalted emotional fervour, not even a compound of all these excellent things.. Spirituality is in its essence an awakening to the inner reality or our being, to a spirit, self, soul which is other than our mind, life and body, and inner aspiration to know, to feel, to be that, to enter into contact with the greater Reality beyond and pervading the universe which inhabits also our own being, to

  21 FEBRUARY 1972   The complete unification of the whole being around the psychic centre is the essential condition to realise a perfect sincerity.                                                                                                                                                       THE MOTHER                     Home                                              Next

24 NOVEMBER 1971   One must rely on the Divine and yet do some enabling sadhana the Divine gives the fruits not by the measure of the sadhana but by the measure of the soul and its aspiration. Also worrying does no good I shall be this, I shall be that, what shall I be? Say "I am ready to be not what I want but what the Divine wants me to be"-all the rest should go on that base.

15 AUGUST 1968   One needs to have a calm heart, a settled will, entire self-abnegation and the eyes constantly fixed on the beyond to live undiscouraged in times like these which are truly a period of universal decomposition.

24 April 1967   For after all it is the will in the being that gives to circum- stances their value, and often an unexpected value; the hue of apparent actuality is a misleading indicator. If the will in a race or civilisation is towards death, if it clings to the lassitude of decay and the laissez-faire of the moribund or even in strength insists blindly upon the propensities that lead to destruction or if it cherishes only the powers of dead Time and puts away from it the powers of the future, if it prefers life that was to life that will be, nothing, not even abundant strength and resources and intelligence, not even many calls to live and

24th April 1997             The Mother is the goal, everything is in her; if she is attained, all is attained. If you dwell in her consciousness, everything else unfolds of itself. sri aurobindo La Mère est le but, tout est en elle; l'atteindre, c'est tout atteindre. Si vous demeurez dans sa conscience, tout le reste se développe de soi-même. sri aurobindo 24 APRIL 1997 Previous                                 Home                                    Next
