Behind all destructions, whether the immense destructions of Nature, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, cyclones, floods, etc., or the violent human destructions, wars, revolutions, revolts, I find the power of Kali, who is working in the earth-atmosphere to hasten the progress of transformation. All that is not only divine in essence but also divine in realisation is by its very nature above these destructions and cannot be touched by them. Thus the extent of the disaster gives the measure of the imperfection. The true way of preventing the repetition of these destructions is to learn their lesson and make the necessary progress. 29 S

Mixing will not make you perfect − perfection must come from within. 1 March 1936 Perfection is not a maximum or an extreme. It is an equilibrium and a harmonisation. Perfection is not a summit, it is not an extreme. There is no extreme: whatsoever you do, there is always the possibility of something better and exactly this possibility of something better is the very meaning of progress. Perfection is eternal; it is only the resistance of the world that makes it progressive. It may be said that perfection is attained, though it remains progressive, when the receptivity from below is equa

Those who want to progress now have an exceptional chance, because the transformation begins with the opening of the consciousness to the action of the new forces; thus individuals have a unique and wonderful opportunity to open themselves to the divine influence. Page , Some Answers From The Mother , Volume-16 , CWMCE Progress is the sign of the divine influence in creation. Progress: the reason why we are on earth. The purpose of earthly life is progress.

Auroville and the Religions We want the Truth. For most men, it is what they want that they label truth. The Aurovilians must want the Truth whatever it may be. Auroville is for those who want to live a life essentially divine but who renounce all religions whether they be ancient, modern, new or future. It is only in experience that there can be knowledge of the Truth. No one ought to speak of the Divine unless he has had experience of the Divine. Get experience of the Divine, then alone will you have the right to speak of it. The objective study of religions will b

The Mother and Abdul Baha I knew Abdul Baha very well, the successor of Baha Ullah, founder of the Bahai religion; Abdul Baha was his son. He was born in prison and lived in prison till he was forty, I believe. When he came out of prison his father was dead and he began to preach his father's religion….¹ He was the son of the famous Baha Ullah who had been put into prison for spreading ideas that were more progressive and broad-minded than those of the Sufis, and was resented by orthodox Muslims. After his death, his son, the sole heir, became determined to preach his father's religious ideas, and for this purpose he tr

Sweet Mother, How should one spend the Darshan days, December fifth and ninth, and one's birthday? In search of a knowledge truer than ordinary knowledge. The fifth and ninth in understanding what death is. The birthday in finding out the purpose of life. Blessings. 13 December 1969 page 413, Some Answers from the Mother - vol -16

Mother, According to the old tradition there is a cycle of four ages or Yugas: Satya, Treta, Dwapara and Kali. In “The Yoga and Its Objects” Sri Aurobindo seems to confirm it. I did not find any definite mention in other places. Please tell me whether the Satya Yuga that you are bringing is again to be followed by the other three and the world is to fall into this darkness over and over again./ I do not know how they will call what I am bringing, and according to Sri Aurobindo it will be followed by the New Creation and the advent of the Supramental. That is all I know. Blessings. About 1965 page 280, More Answers
