No news? Tell me whatever you like. David, the young Italian who made a documentary on Sri Aurobindo, now wants to film "The Gold Washer." But he wants to do it in the true spirit, with your help, showing how it inevitably leads to Sri Aurobindo and you. Oh, very good! Very good. page 299 , Mother's Agenda , volume 13 , 21st Oct - 1972-1973

The diamond light of Bliss has the power to melt all hostile forces. Nothing can resist it. No consciousness, no being, no hostile will can draw near it without immediately being dissolved, for it is the Divine light in its pure creative power. page 135 , Mother's Agenda , volume 1 , 22nd Jan - 1958 Mother compares the Truth to a pure white light, then continues:) ... But this white, precisely, is composed of all the colors. So when you perceive a thing, instead of seeing it as white, there are a certain number of colors that completely elude your perception: you see red, green, yellow, blue or something

Didn't you ever see your body? Never. [[This is in fact incorrect. Satprem remembers occasions when, while playing in his room as a child, he saw his body quietly asleep in bed - only to rush back into it. ]] Well, it's safer that way than the other way! I've known several people, especially I., who worked with Dilip (she used to have visions, she danced also): when she went into meditation, it was all over; even when she tried to come back and move, she couldn't. Dilip had to come and pull her hands, disengage her fingers and move her body, till she began coming around. But you understand, that sort of thing won't do at a

So personally, I am convinced that there was indeed a tradition anterior to both these traditions containing a knowledge very close to an integral knowledge. Certainly, there is a similarity in the experiences. When I came here and told Sri Aurobindo certain things I knew from the occult standpoint, he always said that it conformed to the Vedic tradition. And as for certain occult practices, he told me that they were entirely tantric - and I knew nothing at that time, absolutely nothing, neither the Vedas nor the Tantras. So very probably there was a tradition anterior to both. I have recollections (for me, these are always things I have LIVED), ver

Do you have anything?... No questions, nothing to say? There is a note from G., if you'd like me to read it.... He says: "Mother, "My health problem [serious heart attacks] has led me toreveal many hidden elements in the body, like Mother's love, grace, and Mother herself with me.... My body seems no more at the mercy of old beliefs. Thus, my confidence in the body is increasing more and more day by day, and I feel and see clearly that the body can throw away any kind of diffi culty in it by coming in the contact with Mother's love and grace. One day, I asked Mother from within not to allow more such at

Sometimes I wonder if it's not sheer folly to attempt it.... Shouldn't this body simply be left to dissolve and let others, better fit for the new functioning, be prepared? I don't know. I don't know. No one has ever done this before, so there's no one to tell me. So my solution is always the same: I am like this (gesture of surrender), the body saying, "I am quite willing to try, I am trying my best." Is it folly, or is it really possible? ... I don't know. But long ago there was a knowledge like that - all the ancient scriptures mention it. I believe so. I believe so. I feel a very st

It began with the stone - the stone - and one sees very clearly the difference between the stone and plants, plants and animals, animals and men. One sees quite clearly all Matter striving and striving and striving towards the Lord - that's the outward journey. It has been like that since the beginning. It climbs up with all its errors, all its confusion, all its falsehoods, all its distortions - but it's EVERYTHING that climbs up. And the return is what is described in the "message" I am going to give on 4.5.67 [May 4, 1967]: "the prison changed into a divine mansion."[["Earth-life is the self-chosen habitation of a great Divinity and his aeonic will is to chan

'You ask me what you must do. It would be better to ask what you must be, because the circumstances and activities in life have not much importance. What is important is our way of reacting towards them.' This is where it begins.... 'Human nature is such that when you concentrate on your body you fall ill; when you concentrate on your heart and feelings you become unhappy; when you concentrate on the mind you get bewildered.' (Laughing) And it's absolutely true! 'There are two ways of getting out of this precarious condition. 'One is very arduous: it is a severe and continuous tapasya. It is the
