And, over and above this, for the realization to be total, there are two other conditions, which aren't easy either. Intellectually, they're not too difficult; in fact, for someone who has practiced yoga, followed a discipline (I am not speaking here of just anyone), they're relatively easy. Psychologically too, given this equality, there's no great difficulty. But as soon as you come to the material plane - the physical plane - and then to the body, it isn't easy. These two conditions are first, the power to expand, to widen almost indefinitely, enabling you to widen to the dimensions of the supramental consciousness - which is total. The supram

Yet, by analogy (it's not an analogy, it's a correspondence), I can tell it has to do with what we call "this one" or "that one," this or that other person. Last night, for instance, I spent a long time with M. and G. who were frantically calling me (they left from here and have reached England), I spent a long time with them, but they were no longer "persons," the puppets we are, it wasn't that! Yet it was them. The contact was very accurate, very precise, the vibratory qualities were very clear. And there were forms: forms can be seen, but it no longer has the same quality. There's something hard, opaque and clumsy that disappears. It's the same thing in the tran

(On this day Mother gave the following message for the opening of the sports season.) "We are at one of those Hours of God, when the old bases get shaken, and there is a great confusion; but it is a wonderful opportunity for those who want to leap forward, the possibility of progress is exceptional. Will you not be of those who take advantage of it? Let your body be prepared through physical education for this great change!" page 81 - Mother's Agenda , volume 12 , 1st Apr - 1971

S, who was sitting in front of me, spontaneously asked me after wards what I had been holding in my hands during the meditation, and she described it thus: 'It was round, very soft and luminous like the moon.' page 189 , Mother's Agenda , volume 1 , 29th Aug. - 1958

-216_Kennedy's assasignation.html Kennedy has been assassinated, that means the possibility of war. He was one of the instruments for the establishment of peace - it's a setback for the entire political history of the earth. But probably, it means basically that things weren't ready: some parts would have been overlooked. But I had been told this a few weeks ago, last month, while I was conducting a general survey. I heard someone who said ("someone" is a manner of speaking, I know who it is): Kennedy won't be able to do it. I thought the instrument was too small, I didn't think of this. page 389 , Mother'ds Agenda , volume 4 , 23rd Nov.

Man on earth [[Satprem later asked if this 'on earth' wasn't superfluous and Mother replied: 'This precision is not superfluous; I said "on earth" meaning that man does not belong only to the earth: in his essence, man is a universal being, but he has a special manifestation on earth.' ]] is a transitional being and as a consequence, in the course of his evolution, he has had several successive natures following an ascending curve which they will continue to follow until he touches the threshold of the supramental nature and is transformed into a superman. This curve is the spiral of mental development. We tend to apply the word 'natural' to all spon

Then, Y. asked me questions on de Gaulle (Mother gives another paper): "So long as one is for some and against others, one is necessarily far from the Truth. "All present politics is based on falsehood, and no nation can entirely escape this falsehood. "De Gaulle has an embryo of inner life, he knows that there is a force higher than the physical and mental forces - and that is why he is more receptive than many others. "But he has ideas, principles, preferences and so on, and as such, he can make gross errors as any other human being. "It is through this whole jumble and chaos that the Truth

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."

-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:
