(About A. B. Purani, a disciple who passed away on 11 December 1965)
Purani
His higher intellectual part has gone to
Sri Aurobindo and united with him.
His psychic is with me, and he is very
happy and in peace.
His vital is still helping those who seek
his help.

zoo in Auroville
We are always too attracted by
animals, and it is more interesting to look to the future than
towards the past.
As far as I am concerned, a zoo does not
interest me. We already tend to be too attached to animality rather
than supermentality.

INVOCATION
15 August 1947
O our Mother, O Soul of India, Mother who hast never forsaken thy
children even in the days of darkest depression, even when they turned
away from thy voice, served other masters and denied thee, now when they
have arisen and the light is on thy face in this dawn of thy liberation,
in this great hour we salute thee. Guide us so that the horizon of
freedom opening before us may be also a horizon of true greatness and of
thy true life in the community of the nations. Guide us so that we may
be always on the side of great ideals and show to men thy true visage,
as a leader in the wa

What is concentration?
It is to bring
back all the scattered threads of consciousness to a single point, a single
idea. Those who can attain perfect attention succeed in everything they
undertake; they will always make a rapid progress. And this kind of
concentration can be developed exactly like the muscles; one may follow
different systems, different methods of training. Today we know that the most
pitiful weakling, for example, can with discipline become as strong as anyone
else. One should not have a will which flickers out like a candle.
The will,
concentration must be cultivated; it is a question of method, of regular
exercis

Teachers who are not perfectly calm, who do not have an endurance that
never fails, and a quietude which nothing can disturb, who have no
self-respect — those who are like that will get nowhere. One must be a
saint and a hero to be a good teacher. *One must be a great yogi to be a
good teacher. One must have a perfect attitude to be able to exact a
perfect attitude from the students. You cannot ask anyone to do what you
don't do yourself. That is a rule. So look at the difference between
what is and what ought to be, and you will be able to estimate the
extent of your failure in class.*
Mother,

There is one thing that I must emphasise. Don't try to follow what
is done in the universities outside. Don't try to pump into the students mere
data and information. Don't give them so much work that they may not get time
for anything else. You are not in a great hurry to ca h a train. Let the
students understand what they learn. Let them assimilate it. Finishing the
course should not be your goal. You should make the programme in such a way
that the students may get time to attend the subjects they want to learn. They
should have sufficient time for their physical exercises. I don't want them to
be very good students, yet pale, thin, anaemic. Perhaps you will say t

SRI AUROBINDO INTERNATIONAL CENTRE OF EDUCATION
During the 1920s and 1930s,
the Mother's educational guidance was limited to instructing a few
individuals in French and offering general counsel in other courses
of study. At that time, children were not permitted, as a rule, to
live in the Ashram. In the early 1940s, a number of families were
admitted to the Ashram and instruction was initiated for the
children. On 2 December 1943, the Mother formally opened a school for
about twenty children. She herself was one of the teachers. The
number of pupils gradually increased during the next seven years.
On 24 April 1951, the Mother
presided over a convention where it was resolved to establi

PALMISTRY
Palmistry
is a very interesting art, but it depends for its exactitude and
truthfulness almost entirely upon the real ability of the one who
practises it. Moreover, it relates only to the material destiny and
this destiny can be altered by the intervention of the higher forces.
