Mother's Agenda - volume - 1 , 1951-1960 On Savitri - 1959 There is a difference between immortality and the deathless state. Sri Aurobindo has described it very well in Savitri. The deathless state is what can be envisaged for the human physical body in the future: it is constant rebirth. Instead of again tumbling backwards and falling apart due to a lack of plasticity and an incapacity to adapt to the universal movement, the body is undone 'futurewards,' as it were. There is one element that remains fixed: for each type of atom, the inner organization of the elements is different, which is what creates the difference

Because do you know the story of that Romanian who was tortured by the Communists and had visions of Sri Aurobindo [[Silvius Craciunas, author of The Lost Footstep. ]] (he didn't see him as he is, in fact, he saw him according to his own conception: thin and ascetic), and finally the apparition told him, "I am your soul," and so on? But he had never read Sri Aurobindo's name, he only heard it, and he wrote it in a very odd way ["Aurobin Dogos"].... It SEEMS to be something of Sri Aurobindo. Anyhow it gave him the strength to go through all those tortures - appalling tortures, unimaginable. And he was able to escape, somebody helped him escape (now he is safe in En

When you invoke Durga, it is I you invoke through her, when you invoke Shiva, it is I you invoke through him - and in the final analysis, to the Supreme Lord go all prayers. page 257 , Mother's Agenda , volume 1 , 15th Dec. 1958 It was just before Durga Puja,# or just after - I can't remember dates and I don't go together) - no, it was after Durga Puja. So I went into a deep concentration and, as a matter of fact, I saw that a very powerful and dangerous rakshasic' power was involved. And then, when I started walking for my japa upstairs in my room (I had given some thought to this story and tried asking for something to be done), I suddenly

At the end of the physical demonstration [[Every year on December 2, all the children of the School and all the disciples taking part in sports carry out a general demonstration of physical culture. ]] [on December 2], all the children will pray in chorus, and the prayer has been written by me. I will read it to you. But I hadn't thought about it: they asked me for it, and I wrote it. They must have read the Bulletin, and then they asked me for a prayer - a prayer that would really be the body's. I answered: THE PRAYER OF THE CELLS IN THE BODY Now that by the effect of the Grace we are slowly

The story narrated in the film went like this: Narada, as usual, was having fun. (Narada is a demigod with a divine position - that is, he can communicate with man and with the gods as he pleases, and he serves as an intermediary, but then he likes to have fun!) So he was quarrelling with one of the goddesses, I no longer recall which one, and he told her ... (Ah, yes! The quarrel was with Saraswati.) Saraswati was telling him that knowledge is much greater than love (much greater in that it is much more powerful than love), and he replied to her, 'You don't know what you're talking about! (Mother laughs) Love is much more powerful than knowledge.' So she challe

But the same thing happened to me. At the time, I used to go up on the terrace and I would take a parasol (I had one of those tubes in which umbrellas are put away, and my parasol was there). I looked for it, couldn't find it. I took another one and went upstairs (I looked carefully, examining all the umbrellas one after the other, not just casually; my parasol wasn't there). Then I came back downstairs, didn't bother about it anymore - two days later, it was there! Things like that happen.... Probably little beings having fun. Do you know the story of Sri Aurobindo and the clocks? Before he broke his leg, Sri Aurobindo used to walk

February 28, 1968 (The entire Ashram has gone to Auroville to attend its inauguration. Mother reads out her message, which is broadcast live to Auroville through All India Radio:) "Greetings from Auroville to all men of good will. "Are invited to Auroville all those who thirst for progress and aspire to a higher and truer life." (Then Mother reads out the Charter) Auroville's Charter 1. Auroville belongs to nobody in particular. Auroville belongs to humanity as a whole. But to live in Auroville one must be a willing servitor of the Divine Consciousness.

Every time a new truth has attempted to manifest upon earth, it has been immediately attacked, corrupted and diverted by pseudo-spiritual forces - which did represent a certain spirituality at a given time, but precisely the one that the new truth wants to go beyond. page 344 , Mother's Agenda , volume 4 - 16th Oct 1963 It's the perception of the world that's illusory - the perception of the world, the perception we have of it, is illusory. The world has a concrete, real existence in what we could call the Eternal's Consciousness. But we, the human consciousness has an illusory perception of this world. And when the V

Last time [[During the last conversation, Mother went into a deep trance, quite oblivious of the time. ]] I realized that I hadn't had such a silent contemplation for months, maybe, I am so overwhelmed with work - work which consists in writing birthday cards, signing, seeing people.... On Monday, in the afternoon, I saw thirteen "birthdays"; yesterday there were twelve of them; tomorrow, there will be another twelve.... You understand, the number of people is increasing, and they come from everywhere; some even come from Africa for their birthdays.... That makes about two thousand a year, which is how many a day? page 171 , Mother's Agenda ,
