Over-mind Gods and The Mother

From the article "Gods" by Sri Karmayogi Avarkal 

Mother always had several types of relationships with the Gods. She once saw a film on Anusuya, the wife of a rishi. Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva appeared before Anusuya and asked food to be served by her naked. Anusuya turned the Tirumurthis into babies by the power of her chastity and served them food. Mother commented that it was a lovely story. Mother explained that through her devotion Anusuya invoked the Supreme to come to the rescue of her husband against the erratic wishes of the Tirumurthis.

Mother used to conduct meditation in the hall and several gods, goddesses and rishis used to regularly participate in the meditation. She said they perched themselves on the cornices of the meditation hall pillars. Durga came every year a day or two before the puja for Durga. Mother spoke to Durga about surrender to the Supreme. This concept was new to Durga and she was intrigued. Later she understood. Durga explained that the gods never thought of surrender. It was not their way. When Durga understood and offered surrender to the Supreme, she enjoyed the new experience.

Once Mother spoke to the sea god and asked him not to disturb her work by encroaching into her building. Mother had heard a lot about Ganesh. One day she meditated to see him. She saw him approaching with his trunk and a smile. She was surprised that he did exist. He was happy to do anything for Mother. Mother expressed her need for money for the work. He agreed to do his part. Mother said that for ten years money flowed in constantly. Later she took up work in America. By that time money had dried up. She called Ganesh and asked him what happened to his promise. Ganesh expressed his inability, saying that Mother's need was too big and his resources were limited. Mother explained that since people in America had no knowledge or faith in Ganesh, he could not give her money for work in America.

A Ganesh temple near the Ashram was being renovated and there was not enough space on one side. Ganesh came to Mother and asked her for space from one of her adjacent buildings. Mother called her people and arranged for it.

Mother returned to her room one day and found Shiva standing there. He was as tall as the room. His head reached the ceiling. She had a conversation with him and he said he was willing to help her. She wanted her physical ego to be eliminated. Shiva consented and the next moment the sensation in the cells showed that the dissolution of her physical ego had begun. She told Sri Aurobindo what had happened. He felt it was not necessary at that time. Immediately every movement in Mother's cells stopped.

Mother had asked Shiva and Krishna to incarnate in the body of Sri Aurobindo to expedite his mission. Shiva was unwilling and said he would come after the advent of the Supermind. Krishna agreed and entered into Sri Aurobindo's body. Mother says she saw with her own eyes Krishna incarnating in Sri Aurobindo's body. She reported all that to Sri Aurobindo and found that he was not interested.

Sri Aurobindo used to say that he never wanted to be limited by the gods. The gods belong to the overmental plane. Their dimension, Mother says, belongs to the dimension of earth. Overmind is a plane where the full power of truth does not exist. It is a plane where truths can protect themselves and act, eliminating the destructive influence of ignorance. Overmind brings together several truths to act in unison. Krishnavatar came from this plane. The color of this plane is blue. Sri Aurobindo explained to Mother that the overmental truth had no power to transform ignorance into knowledge. It can function successfully protecting its truth and avoiding the warping influence of ignorance. Truth is self-existent in the next plane of Supermind. Here there is no ignorance. Power of Supermind can enter into ignorance, reach its foundation of truth, unite all of them and from there transform ignorance into knowledge. Without that seed of truth, however little, neither ignorance, nor evil, nor falsehood, nor even hostility can exist. Beings of the supramental plane are of the dimension of the universe. On February 29, 1956 when the Supermind descended, Mother found herself as big as the universe and in a golden form. The gods have a limitation when they come to function in the supramental plane. Sri Aurobindo had declared he never wanted to be limited by the gods in his work.

After 1950, Mother sometimes took to walking. She was walking daily on the verandah outside Sri Aurobindo's room. After a few days, she found Krishna walking alongside her. Much later, she found Sri Aurobindo instead of Krishna walking with her. These were adorable moments in her life. She remarked to Sri Aurobindo how nice it was to walk with him. It was much better than the other work she was doing. From that day onwards, he stopped coming. After sometime Mother found that, when she walked on the verandah, She was followed by HERSELF.

Mother Talks about the Divine Way of Life

From Questions and Answers by The Mother

“Life, not a remote silent or high-uplifted ecstatic Be- yond —Life alone, is the field of our Yoga. The trans- formation of our superficial, narrow and fragmentary human way of thinking, seeing, feeling and being into a deep and wide spiritual consciousness and an integrated inner and outer existence and of our ordinary human living into the divine way of life must be its central purpose.” 

- Sri Aurobindo, The Synthesis of Yoga, SABCL, Vol 20, p. 82

Sweet Mother,will“the divine way of life” be established on earth only when the Supermind descends?

I think so. There seems to be no possibility of its happening other-wise. But it is a very relative question. Perhaps our way of life could become a little more divine without becoming altogether divine.
What do you mean by a “divine way of life”?

We always call “Divine” all that we are not but wish to be. All that seems to us infinitely superior, not only to all that we have done, but to all that we feel we can do; all that surpasses both our conception and our present possibilities, we call “Divine”. I say this, not as a joke, but because I am quite convinced that if we go back some thousands of years, when men spoke of the Divine—if ever they did speak of the Divine, as I believe —they spoke perhaps of a state like that of the godheads of the Overmind; and now this mode of being of the Overmind godheads who, obviously, have governed the earth and formed many things on earth for a very longtime,seems to us far inferior to what we conceive the Supermind to be. And this Supermind, which is, precisely, what we now call the Divine and try to bring down on earth, will probably strike us in the same way a few thousand or million years hence as the Overmind does today. And I am sure that in the manifestation, that is, in His self- expression, the Divine is progressive. Outside the manifestation He is something we cannot conceive; but as soon as He manifests in this kind of perpetual becoming, well, He manifests more and more of Himself, as though He were reserving for the end the most beautiful things in His Being. As the world progresses, what He expresses in the world becomes what we might call more and more divine. So Sri Aurobindo has used the word Supermind to explain to those who are in the outer and evolutionary consciousness and who have some idea of the way in which the earth has developed—to explain to them that this something which is going to be beyond all this, and superior to human creation, to man, whom he always calls the mental being—this something which is going to come will be greater and better than man; and so he calls it supramental in order to make himself understood. But we could just as well say that it is something more divine than what has been manifested before. And this he himself says, in what I read today, that it is infinite, that it has no limits.1 That is to say, there will always be a growing perfection; and what now seems to us imperfect must have been the perfection for which certain ages in earth’s history aspired. There is no reason why this should stop. If it stopped, it would be finished. It would be a new Pralaya.

Sri Aurobindo's New World - Sri Karmayogi Avarkal

What Sri Aurobindo offers to the world is a New World free of death, suffering, karma, etc. It is attained by Man rising from mind to Supermind. Sri Aurobindo says that the change arrives by a reversal of consciousness. The hunter became a cultivator producing his own food grains. He is now producing in a vast greater abundance what Nature was so far producing. It is an advance. He reverses his role from gathering what Nature offered to producing it himself. Man, by long experience, became a leader. He led others physically. Man discovered education. What leadership he attained at a ripe old age by experience, he acquired early in life by training and education. He gives himself what life was giving him so far. It is another reversal. Man produced goods, sold them for money and bought with that money other things. Later he invented credit. One got money without producing any goods. It is one more reversal of another type. Man produced anything for his own consumption. Later he devised trade. He now produced for sales. It is another reversal.

• Man continually progresses.
• Vertical progress occurs by a reversals.
• There is no progress without a reversal.
• The history of human progress is a history of a chain of reversals. Mother laughs at this phrase.
• So far, Man reversed from physical to vital and from vital to the mental. The result is the present civilisation.
• In the first, Man relived himself from physical drudgery and protected himself from physical dangers.
• In the second, he fashioned new institutions of trade, money, education, politics, etc. and endlessly extended the scope of human life and created unheard of new comforts and facilities. The two most important advances are education and language apart from money.
• The next reversal gave him his Mind. Now came science and all its wonders. Newer conquests were the order of the day as well as newer inventions. What remains to be conquered is death and evil. All the rest is being overcome in some substantial measure.
• Sri Aurobindo offers the reversal of Spiritual consciousness. This conquers death and suffering apart from abolishing ALL problems of humanity so far left unconquered. This dissolves Evil by dissolving ego. Life is taken to a dimension of higher consciousness, and a new species, the Supramental Being will be born.

Will - Article by Sri. Karmayogi Avarkal

Will - The executive force of thought.

Man thinks. It is thought. Thought understands. It is done by observation. The senses observe and feed the mind with data. Mind is capable of seeing, hearing, smelling, etc. without the aid of senses. It happens when the yogi withdraws from all his senses. He then sees directly by his mind without the aid of his eyes. Mental understanding accrues knowledge. It has no capacity to act. What acts is the will. Mind has a consciousness, which divides into knowledge and will. Here we define will. Will is the force of consciousness, not its light. Man acts by his will i.e. his mind, choosing to act, instructs the body through the vital which energizes the body to execute the orders of the mind. If one is observant, when he wants to get up from his chair, his mind thinks to get up. It can be seen as a thought forming itself in the mind. One, who is capable of subtle observation, can see that thought rising in the subtle plane of the mind. Then the body shows initial movement energized by the vital. This is a simple act and its execution. The will rises in the mind as decision in the consciousness and becomes determination in the mental substance. There is mind in the body and the vital. It is only a further sub-division of the Mind proper.

• Will is energy directed into force.
• It acts according to the knowledge of the mind.
• Will itself has its own knowledge. It is partial.
• The greater the will absorbs knowledge, the more it is integrated with knowledge.
• At the point of full integration the idea of the human mind, becomes the Real- Idea of the Supermind, which is capable of self-effectuation.
• Will is energy organized by the mind for action.
• Will is the force part of the consciousness.
• Of the four parts of Sachchidananda - Existence, Consciousness, Force, Ananda -Will is the third.
• The will of the consciousness is divine Will.
• It becomes human will when it descends from conscious into the human mind.
• The heroes of action are heroic by their will.
• The body and the vital too have their own will.
• Shivaji or Napoleon had attained the fame of great warriors as they had unconquerable will.
• Will is ever-present in human life as we see that every man is constantly looking for an opportunity to assert himself.
• In the married life it is the asserting will that spoils the charm of it.

Inflation: Symptom of Social Growth

Inflation: Symptom of Social Growth

- Garry Jacobs (This article was published in "THE HINDU"on May 31, 1980) Click here for the newspaper clipping.

About the author:

Jacobs, Garry Garry Jacobs is an American-born consultant on business management and economic development and Vice President of The Mother's Service Society, a social science research institute in Pondicherry, India.  Email - garryj29@gmail.com Website: www.mssresearch.org

The French Revolution, computer sciences, American Civil Rights Movement, automation, credit cards, the Magna Carats, telegraphy, unemployment, literacy, and Indian Freedom, all have one thing in common. They are among the less known, but real, causes of inflation. One of the little recognized virtues of inflation is its role as the only tax on black money and underworld business activities.

For several years the reading public all over the world has been bombarded by economists with an array of bleak forecasts, frightening warnings, and prophesies of doom in reference to the worldwide phenomenon of inflation. Some compare our situation with that which spurred the hyperinflation in post World War I Germany. Almost all economists seem to agree that the present inflation is bad or dangerous, though they differ widely regarding the extent of the danger and even more widely as to the proper remedy.

CONFLICTING VIEWS

When one reviews the current literature on this topic, it is surprising to note just how divergent are the positions of leading economists on questions such as: How can we measure the real rate of inflation? What is the major cause for increasing inflation in the present decade? What will happen if inflation is not stopped? What policies can we implement to stop it and should we implement them or allow it to continue? To illustrate the complexity and divergence of opinion on this issue, a few examples will suffice. No less an authority than John Kenneth Galbraith has described the current inflation as a “revolt of the rich against the poor”. “Economist Richard Parker supports this view with the claim that it is the richest people, the top 7% of the families in terms of wealth that benefit by inflation; while the rest especially the poorest, suffer in proportion to their relative poverty.

On the other hand, a conflicting view is contained in a 1979 study published by the Brookings Institute in Washington D.C. This study indicates that the lower or middle classes in the USA are generally benefited or unaffected by inflation, while the upper class is losing.

The confusion over who suffers from inflation is extended to other questions as well, including the major causes of inflation. In addition to the traditional proponents of the demand pull, cost push, and monetarist theories, there are many who doubt whether inflation is essentially an economic problem at all. Consultant Konrad Kellen wrote recently in the Los Angeles Times that inflation is not an economic problem but a psychological one, the result of people taking pleasure on spending rather than saving and in earning nominally larger, though in real terms sometimes smaller, incomes. In discussing the contribution of social welfare programs to inflation, Paul Samuelson cites a social factor, the evolution of a more humane society, as a root cause.

WIDER PERSPECTIVE

When the greatest minds of an age examine a problem and fail to arrive at a solution, it must be that the solution is very simple, only they are looking through the wrong end of the telescope. Inflation is one such problem. In an age of scientific precision, we are apt to wonder how there can be so much doubt and confusion over a phenomenon like currency values. We may wonder whether this confusion arises from lack of knowledge, wrong assumptions, too narrow perspective, or even an unwillingness to accept what is obviously true. One thing emerges from the recent literature on this subject; namely, that the causes and effects of inflation cannot be limited to the narrow field of economics, that in order to be fully comprehended inflation must be viewed from a wider or higher level, from a perspective which will reveal all the seemingly divergent facts and conflicting theories as parts of a single phenomenon.

In other words, a purely economic explanation of inflation is likely to be as incomplete as a purely physiological description of human behavior. In this article I propose to take a look at inflation from the wider perspective of social evolution which has accompanied the development of our modern economic system.

It would be well to start by trying to lift the veil from the “mysterious” causes of inflation. As we shall see the causes are so many and so prominent as to make one wonder whether a non-inflationary currency is even a remote possibility in the foreseeable future. These causes can be divided into major categories. One of the commonly cited causes is the contribution of rising labour costs due to the formidable power of unions to demand annual increments in wage rates. Each rise in labour costs which is not offset by a similar rise in productivity tends to boost the price of the finished products and at the same time to increase the costs of comparable labour everywhere else in the economy. Both of these tendencies are inflationary. The additional wages paid to labour increase their demand for consumer goods putting an upward pressure on prices. Also in the case of manufacturers of consumer goods, profit margins may be reduced by higher costs leaving less profit for reinvestment in greater reduction at a time of increasing demand, another clearly inflationary situation. Under this category of causes we can include all factors which increase the cost of production including labour’s demand for shorter working hours, better working conditions, pensions, medical insurance, etc. The demand of each union for greater benefits initiates a spiral of rising prices that spreads throughout the entire economy and dilutes the value of all currency including labour’s. The marked trend toward decreasing labour productivity in the West has the same effect as rising costs and often occurs in conjunction with it. There is a similar contribution from non-labour resources. The spiraling oil prices are a frequently cited but by no means singular example. Recent government regulations for environmental protection and anti-pollution measures also contribute to inflation while at the same time providing a non-monetary service to the entire community for which it would be difficult to assess the public by direct taxation. Another source of inflation is deficit spending by government. It is often argued that to resort to deficit financing is to enjoy a present benefit at the expense of future generations who must repay what is spent now. But, in fact, the reverse is equally or more true. Deficit spending is a means employed by governments to meet the public’s demand for modern facilities, e.g., new schools and hospitals, better roads, greater military security, welfare support, etc. No present day government can keep up with the demand on the basis of direct taxation alone because there is a gap between what various sections of the public expect and demand on the one hand, and what they are willing to pay for, on the other. This gap is filled by deficit financing. Where this is not possible you have a situation like in New York City where the greatest concentrations of wealth in the world exist along side decaying roads and shrinking city services. When governments issue new currency to cover their expenditure, it acts like a direct tax on all the present holders of currency diluting the value of their holding. It is the one form of taxation that assesses equally both white and black money, legal and illegal business. It is 100% efficient and is collected at no expense to the government. In addition to these well known causes of inflation, there are innumerable others to which little attention has been given. According to monetary theorists, any change in the velocity with which money changes hands will effect prices, increasing velocity having an inflationary effect. Among the non-economic factors which influence velocity are the great strides recently made in increased speed of transportation, communication, banking services, computer credit, etc. Each time the public is offered an improvement in these services, there is a slight increase in the velocity of money transactions and a hidden inflationary effect. In other words, the new service is not only or always paid for directly. There is also an indirect cost which is exacted as dilution of currency values. Similarly, credit card and installment purchases, lease and hire purchase financing increase the total purchasing power in circulation, i.e., increase the total money supply, and thereby tend to raise prices. A parallel effect is associated with the introduction of automation and the reduced dependence on human factors of production. Automation has been widely regarded as anti-inflationary because it increases productivity and reduces production costs. But one effect of modern automation has been the greater organization of labour; and the increasing demands of workers for guaranteed minimum wages, pensions, and unemployment insurance; and expansion of the social security system. In this manner some of the savings in the cost of production arising from automation are passed on to the country at large in the form of inflation. In past centuries expenditures on luxury items was confined to the aristocracy and therefore it had little effect on currency values. But today it has extended to the common man, not only in countries like USA where colour TV sets and big cars have become “essentials” even among the lower classes, but also in developing countries like India where there is a marked trend toward greater expenditure on non-essentials like tourism, festivals, marriages, watches, polyester clothes, stainless steel vessels, cinema, etc. It is easy to understand how the waste of fuel by big American cars is inflationary. It is less obvious that the growing demand for flowers for women’s hair has a similar effect on currency values by bidding up the price of limited materials. In a similar fashion the changing food habits all over the world are resulting in higher prices. In India almost all food items other than those under tight government control have shot up in price during the past ten years. The price of groundnut has increased six times, the price of cashew five times, that of ragi and cumbu three to four times. The increased demand for these items is due to changing social habits and cannot be adequately explained on the basis of population growth or short yielding. The tremendous growth in banking services and credit facilities in India – State Bank of India now has more branches than any other bank in the world – is another contributor to inflation. Greater credit means greater money supply which pushes up prices. So also the greater money flow generated by increased agricultural productivity and industrialization, not only contribute to economic growth, but in conditions of limited supply, to rising prices as well.

Spiraling oil prices, powerful labour unions, increasing money supply, deficit financing, consumer debt, high interest rates, etc. are all commonly cited causes of inflation. But as economist Robert Heilbroner has pointed out, inflation existed before many of these factors were present and it persists today in countries where many of them are absent. “No one of these factors can be properly called the single ‘cause’ of ”inflation”.

Even if the cumulative effect of all of these factors is measured, it will be found that the current inflation rates exceed the sum of these causes. We must look behind or beyond these myriad symptoms to see if we can identify a central cause which is more universal than any of them and a driving force which is more compelling. Though our study has moved beyond the purely monetary or economic causes of inflation, to consider the contribution of technology welfare, increased consumption, changing tastes, etc., still it has not delved to the level of root causes from which a clear picture can emerge out of our present confusion. We may find a guidepost in statements like this one by Richard Parker, “Domestically, we have experienced not an economic boom after World War II, but a social revolution”.

Present day economists study inflation from the viewpoint of the fixed status quo of social values, i.e., the present distribution of resources and wealth in society. But inflation as we know it today is a symptom of a radical transformation in this distribution in favor of the have-nots. It is a symptom of social, as opposed to merely economic, growth. Today all over the world there is an unparalleled release of fresh human energies generated by progress in the fields of political freedom, education, human rights and dignity, etc. The modern day phenomenon of the street-cleaners in U.S.A. demanding $20,000 per year in place of the $8,000 they earned ten years earlier or the rickshaw drivers in India demanding Rs.2 for a trip that cost only Re.1 five years ago, cannot be explained away on the basis of rising costs of living and the power of labour unions. Two decades ago when the communists came to power in Kerala on a platform of social equality, a peon refused to serve tea to one of the new communist ministers on the grounds of social equality enunciated in the party platform. A wider truth and more universal phenomenon is reflected by this incident.

CHANGED VALUES

Social values at all levels are undergoing rapid change. Prior to independence, life in India was cloistered, withdrawn, submissive, fear ridden, tame. Society was vegetating and life for most was lived at a survival level with minimal expenses. But in the last three decades religious, social and family rigidity have given way. Life has become outgoing, expansive, assertive, and fearless. Man seeks to express his personality and he seeks enjoyment.

It was not long ago that any elder in a village could order any youngster to do some work without compensation. Today only the richest and most powerful retain that authority and even their power is waning. Now everyone takes for granted the right to a better, more comfortable and more luxurious life. Children use more paper, more books, and more clothes. People expend more time and money on recreation, there are better roads and more of them. Walking back to the village has been replaced by bus travel. Radios are common place and TV is spreading rapidly. Tourism is on the increase and has become an important part of life.

Expenditure on religious worship has increased a hundred-fold. Social functions like weddings, farewells, birthday celebrations are becoming more frequent and more elaborate. One need only imagine a gathering in 1930 and a similar one today to note the many changes. Tastes and habits in food have altered.

Old fashioned foods like cold rice, and ragi meal have disappeared while new food items like ovaltine and horlicks are increasingly popular. Women going to restaurants is a new phenomenon. At all levels of life man insists on greater comfort, more and better enjoyments. All of these new expenses have to be met by income from the same old jobs as carpenter, clerk, officer, etc

WOMEN MORE ASSERTIVE

The large scale influx of women into the labour market is a relatively recent phenomenon with broad implications. Not only has it provided additional income to the family. It has also sparked the gradual dissolution of women’s traditional role in society. The greater freedom of women to work and to spend changes her personality, makes her less submissive and dependent. She has become not only more productive but more assertive as well, both in the home and in public. She demands more and better clothes, jewelry, furnishings, entertainment, etc.

Now it is often the man who carries the child or the bags instead of his wife. Every assertion of the human will liberated from the oppression or the habit of subservience leads to greater expenditure and new pressures on currency values.

These changes are not confined to the cities. Rural bus transport and electrification are reaching out to every village. Pump sets are replacing the piccotah. Harijans are wearing clean clothes in the village. Toddy shops are giving place to tea shops. Village weddings are using taxis and loud speakers. High schools are coming to the villages. In the towns, vegetable, fruit, and grain vendors are wearing shirts in their shops. Hawkers are using cycles to carry their wares, instead of head loads. Nursery schools are spreading everywhere.

In the U.S. there are parallel changes at a higher level. Television today means colour TV, and often more than one per household. Restaurant going has evolved from an infrequent pleasure to an almost daily habit. Air conditioning is becoming standard equipment on cars in many areas. Electrical appliances have replaced nearly every type of manual chore at home from opening cans to opening garage doors. The line-in housemaid of thirty years ago kept to herself and lived apart. Today she may be eating dinner with the family, even when guests come.

The taxi driver carefully selects his customers and refuses the short trip. The lower classes refuse menial work or demand three times the previous wage for it. A porter wants $2 to wheel your bag on a trolley. A cleaning woman wants five dollars per hour. The upper classes do more for themselves. They carry their own bags, fill their own gas tanks, serve their own food at self-service restaurants, and wash their own cars. Signs of a general leveling between the classes have emerged. Americans have become used to far higher standards of private living and social services. Richard Parker writes, “Domestically, we have experienced not an economic boom after World War II, but a social revolution – spearheaded by women…. The creation of two-income families engendered a whole new level of American prosperity, in which millions shared. Today the American woman drives her own car, has her own profession and outside interests, demands equal pay to men for equal work, and often equal housework from men for no pay.

SOCIETY’S BURDEN

All of the examples cited above point to a single conclusion. Life styles are changing rapidly all over the world and standards of living at all levels have risen considerably in the last thirty years. This trend has been accompanied in many places by a tendency for worker productivity to level off or even decline. Man demands and expects more but wants to work less. The earlier levels of individual and social productivity cannot support the higher living standards and future expectations of wide sections of the population. Someone must pay for the increased consumption. Since the rich are unwilling to bear the burden for the poor to come up and the poor are unable to meet their own demands through their current incomes, the burden is shifted to society as a whole in the form of devaluation of currency, inflation.

அன்னை சூழல் - Presence of Sri Mother and Sri Aurobindo in our life

எல்லாம் இறைவன் செயல். திருத்த முயன்றால் நாம் இறைவனின் செயலைத் திருத்த முயல்கிறோம். திருத்த முனையாமலிருக்கப் பயிலும் அனுபவம் இது என்பது அன்னையின் விளக்கம். நாம் இதைக் கடைப்பிடிக்க முயன்றால், பைத்தியம் பிடித்துவிடும் என்பது உண்மை. முயன்றால் அன்னை சூழல் அதிகமாகும், அன்னையை அதிகம் புரிந்துகொள்ளலாம், மேலும் ஏற்றுக் கொள்ள முடியும் என்பது பெரிய உண்மை.

வேலை தெய்வம். அதைச் செய்யும் பொழுது செய்பவரின் கைகள் அன்னையின் கையாக மாறுவதுண்டு. வேலை நடக்கும் இடத்தில் தியானத்தின் போதுள்ள சூழல் இருக்கும். பாக்டரியில் பவித்திரமாக வேலை செய்தவருக்கு மெஷின் அருகில் பொன்னிறமாக ஸ்ரீ அரவிந்தர் காட்சி அளித்தார்.
அன்னை மனிதப் பிறவியாக வந்தாலும், அவர் சூழல் எங்கும் பரவியுள்ளது. போகுமிடமெல்லாம் எதிர்பாராத உதவி கிடைக்கிறது என்பவர்கள் அன்னையின் சூழலுடைய உதவியைப் பெறுகிறார்கள் என்று அர்த்தம். இந்த சூழல் நம் வாழ்வில் சிறப்பாகவும் செயல்படும், பொதுவாகவும் செயல்படும். போலீஸ் ஸ்டேஷன் சுறுசுறுப்பாகச் செயல்பட்டு திருடன் ஊரைவிட்டு வெளியே போகுமுன் பிடிப்பதும் உண்டு. நாமே திருடனைப் பிடித்துக் கொடுத்தால் பிறகு நடவடிக்கை எடுக்கலாம் என்பதுபோல் இருப்பதும் உண்டு. போலீஸுக்கு திறமையிருந்தாலும் பல்வேறு கேஸ்களில் பல்வேறு விதமாக நடப்பதைப் பார்க்கிறோம். நிலைமைக்குத் தகுந்த சுறுசுறுப்பு, பலன், வியாபாரத் தொடர்பு, அரசியல் தொடர்பு, அரசாங்க அதிகாரத்தொடர்பு, உறவினர் மூலம் தொடர்பு ஆகியவை ஓர் அகில இந்திய ஸ்தாபனம் போலச் செயல்பட்டு செல்லுமிடமெல்லாம், செய்யும் காரியங்களிலெல்லாம் உதவியாக இருப்பதை நாம் காண்கிறோம்.


அதேபோல் அன்னையின் சூழல் நாம் போகுமிடமெல்லாம் நம்மை எதிர்கொள்கிறது. நம் காரியங்களைப் பூர்த்தி செய்ய கங்கணம் கட்டிக் கொண்டிருப்பதுபோல் மனிதர்கள் மூலம், நிகழ்ச்சிகள் மூலமும், இயற்கையின் மூலமும் செயல்படுவதை அன்பர்கள் அறிவார்கள். அதை ஒரு சௌகரியமாகக் கொள்வதைவிட அதன் சூட்சுமத்தைப் புரிந்துகொண்டால், அந்தச் சூழல் நிரந்தரமாக நம்மைச் சுற்றிக்கொள்ளும்.


Their Presence - From the writings of Sri Aurobindo

Sri Aurobindo says:

It is quite sure that we are with you day and night; even if you do not yet see the Mother in your dreams or feel her presence, you should think of her as there and supporting you and that will surely help you. If there is a natural movement of your mind to identify Shiva in the way you speak of and it jumps to myself and the Mother, why not let it take the jump? Perhaps it is not a jump but a natural transition, and reconciliation and not a conflict. Certainly, your pranams are always accepted by us and always will be.

Our presence, force, peace, love are always with you. That is a thing you must realise and learn to keep the consciousness of it. If you do that, all the rest is of minor importance (your difficulties, the old nature etc.) and will be set right in due time.

Mother’s protection - From the writings of Sri Aurobindo

When the Mother’s protection is put around a person, how does he go out of it?

By desire, wrong thoughts, wrong actions, wrong feelings—by revolt, pride, ambition, lust or any other vital indulgence. 

To walk through life armoured against all fear, peril and disaster, only two things are needed, two that go always together—the Grace of the Divine Mother and on your side an inner state made up of faith, sincerity and surrender. Let your faith be pure, candid and perfect. An egoistic faith in the mental and vital being tainted by ambition, pride, vanity, mental arrogance, vital self-will, personal demand, desire for the petty satisfactions of the lower nature is a low and smoke-obscured flame that cannot burn upwards to heaven. Regard your life as given you only for the divine work and to help in the divine manifestation. Desire nothing but the purity, force, light, wideness, calm, Ananda of the divine consciousness and its insistence to transform and perfect your mind, life and body. Ask for nothing but the divine, spiritual and supramental Truth, its realisation on earth and in you and in all who are called and chosen and the conditions needed for its creation and its victory over all opposing forces. 

Let your sincerity and surrender be genuine and entire. When you give yourself, give completely, without demand, with- out condition, without reservation so that all in you shall belong to the Divine Mother and nothing be left to the ego or given to any other power.

The more complete your faith, sincerity and surrender, the more will grace and protection be with you. And when the grace and protection of the Divine Mother are with you, what is there that can touch you or whom need you fear? A little of it even will carry you through all difficulties, obstacles and dangers; surrounded by its full presence you can go securely on your way because it is hers, careless of all menace, unaffected by any hostility however powerful, whether from this world or from worlds invisible. Its touch can turn difficulties into opportunities, failure into success and weakness into unfaltering strength. 

For the grace of the Divine Mother is the sanction of the Supreme and now or tomorrow its effect is sure, a thing decreed, inevitable and irresistible.

The Mother talks about Old Age

-From Questions and Answers by Sri Mother.

• Why this joy, this gladness, when the world is forever burning? O you who are enveloped in shadows, why do you not seek the light?
• See then this poor decorated form, this mass of corrupt- ible elements, of infirmities and vain desires in which nothing is lasting or stable.
• This fragile body is but a nest of misery, of decrepitude and corruption; for life ends in death.
• What pleasure is there in contemplating these white bones strewn like gourds in autumn?
• In this fortress made of bone and covered with flesh and blood, only pride and jealousy, dissolution and death are established.
• Even the gorgeous chariots of kings are worn out in the end. It is the same with this body which at last is worn out with age; but the true Law is never worn out and so one sage can pass it on to another.
• The ignorant man grows older like a bullock; his weight increases but not his intelligence.
• Many times have I passed in vain through the cycle of births in search of the builder of this house. And how painful is this cycle of births!
• At last, I have found you, builder; never again shall you build this house that is my body. All the beams are shattered and the ridge of the roof has crumbled.
• My liberated mind has attained the extinction of all desires.
• Those who have not lived a life of self-control and who, in their youth, have not known how to gather the true riches, perish like aged herons beside a lake with no fish.
• Those who have not lived a life of self-control and who, in their youth, have not known how to gather the true riches are like shattered bows; they grieve for their lost strength.

There is one thing certain which is not clearly stated here, but which is at least as important as all the rest. It is this, that there is an old age much more dangerous and much more real than the amassing of years: the incapacity to grow and progress. As soon as you stop advancing, as soon as you stop pro- gressing, as soon as you cease to better yourself, cease to gain and grow, cease to transform yourself, you truly become old, that is to say, you go downhill towards disintegration. There are young people who are old and there are old people who are young. If you carry in you this flame for progress and transformation, if you are ready to leave everything behind so that you may advance with an alert step, if you are always open to a new progress, a new improvement, a new transformation, then you are eternally young. But if you sit back satisfied with what has been accomplished, if you have the feeling that you have reached your goal and you have nothing left to do but enjoy the fruit of your efforts, then already more than half your body is in the tomb: it is decrepitude and the true death. Everything that has been done is always nothing compared with what remains to be done. Do not look behind. Look ahead, always ahead and go forward always. 

Sri Mother talks about the Power of Right Attitude

 Power of Right Attitude 

- From the Book Question and Answers from the Mother

Is it really the best that always happens?... It is clear that all that has happened had to happen: it could not be otherwise— by the universal determinism it had to happen. But we can say so only after it has happened, not before. For the problem of the very best that can happen is an individual problem, whether the individual be a nation or a single human being; and all depends upon the personal attitude.

If, in the presence of circumstances that are about to take place, you can take the highest attitude possible—that is, if you put your consciousness in contact with the highest consciousness within reach, you can be absolutely sure that in that case it is the best that can happen to you. But as soon as you fall from this consciousness into a lower state, then it is evidently not the best that can happen, for the simple reason that you are not in your very best consciousness. I even go so far as to affirm that in the zone of immediate influence of each one, the right attitude not only has the power to turn every circumstance to advantage but can change the very circumstance itself. 

For instance, when a man comes to kill you, if you remain in the ordinary consciousness and get frightened out of your wits, he will most probably succeed in doing what he came for; if you rise a little higher and though full of fear call for the divine help, he may just miss you, doing you a slight injury; if, however, you have the right attitude and the full consciousness of the divine presence everywhere around you, he will not be able to lift even a finger against you. This truth is just the key to the whole problem of transfor- mation. Always keep in touch with the divine presence, try to bring it down—and the very best will always take place. Of course the world will not change at once, but it will go forward as rapidly as it possibly can. 

 Do not forget that this is so only if you keep on the straight road of Yoga, and not if you deviate and lose your way and wander about capriciously or helplessly as though in a virgin forest. If each of you did your utmost, then there would be the right collaboration and the result would be so much the quicker. I have had innumerable examples of the power of right attitude. I have seen crowds saved from catastrophes by one single person keeping the right attitude.

 But it must be an attitude that does not remain somewhere very high and leaves the body to its usual reactions.If you're main high up like that, saying,“Let God’s will be done”, you may get killed all the same. 

For your body may be quite undivine, shivering with fear: the thing is to hold the true consciousness in the body itself and not have the least fear and be full of the divine peace. Then indeed there is no danger. Not only can attacks of men be warded off, but beasts also and even the elements can be affected. I can give you a little example. You remember the night of the great cyclone, when there was a tremendous noise and splash of rain all about the place. I thought I would go to Sri Aurobindo’s room and help him shut the windows. I just opened his door and found him sitting quietly at his desk, writing. There was such a solid peace in the room that nobody would have dreamed that a cyclone was raging outside. All the windows were wide open, not a drop of rain was coming inside.

Thoughts for the Day..

அன்பர் சிந்தனைக்கு......

Attention to positive results makes it negative.  நல்லது நடப்பதை கவனித்தால், அவை நின்று விடும்.       ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Force, when it acts, produces several positive results. Even one of them will not be negative.        அன்னை  செயல்படும் பொழுது,  அனைத்தும் நல்லதாக இருக்கும்.  ஒரு தவறும் எழாது. நூறு நல்லதுடன் ஒரு தவறு நடப்பது, நமது அகங்காரம், அன்னையை விலக்க கங்கணம் கட்டியிருப்பதைக் காட்டுகிறது.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Constant conscious availing of opportunities is the surest method of disappointing snares. Capacity to create opportunities and avail of them is to transform traps into their opposites.   வாய்ப்பை அனுபவித்தால்,  வாழ்வின் இடர்கள் தானே விலகும்.     ----------------------------------------------------------------------------      Interest in physical objects is physical interest. It prevents the dissolution of the physical ego.  பொருளைப் போற்றுவது தெய்வீகம். பொருளை முக்கியமாகக் கருதுவது,  அகங்காரம் கரைவதைத் தடுக்கும்.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Opinion, good or bad, will constrict the field of action for the Force. Opinion expressed will destroy the field.                        எண்ணம் (அபிப்பிராயம்) உருவானால், அன்னை சக்தி செயல்படுவது குறையும். வெளிப்படுத்தினால் சக்தி செயல்படுவது, தடைபடும்.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Darshan Day Messages (Tamil and English) - April 24, 2013

DARSHAN OF SRI AUROBINDO AND THE MOTHER

ஸ்ரீ அன்னை 

ஏப்ரல் 24, அன்னை பாண்டிச்சேரிக்கு வருகை தந்த நாளாகும். இந்த நாள், ஸ்ரீ அன்னை பாண்டிச்சேரியில் நிரந்தரமாக தங்கிய நாள் "தரிசன நாளாக" (Darshan Day ) கொள்ளப்படுகிறது.

1914-இல் புதுவைக்கு வந்து ஸ்ரீ அரவிந்தரைத் தரிசித்தார் மிரா. ‘தம் தியானத்தில் கிருஷ்ணாவாகத் தோன்றி உபதேசம் செய்த மகான் இவரே!’ என்று உணர்ந்தார். ‘உலகம் இருளில் மூழ்கி இருந்தாலும், எனக்குக் காட்சி தரும் இந்த ஒளி மயமான திவ்யபுருஷன் இருக்கும்வரை உலகம் பொய்ம்மையிலிருந்து நிச்சயம் விடுபடும்’ என்று உறுதி பூண்டு, ஸ்ரீ அரவிந்தருடன் சேர்ந்து புதுவையிலேயே தங்கி, மரணம், மூப்பு, பிணி, வறுமை, பொய்ம்மை இவற்றிலிருந்து உலகம் முழுதுமாகவும், நிரந்தரமாகவும் விடுபடக் கூடிய யோகத்தை மேற்கொண்டார்.

அன்னையை ஏற்றுக் கொண்டவர்களின் வாழ்க்கையில் ஏற்படுவது புதிய அத்தியாயம் இல்லை; ஒரு புதிய சகாப்தம் ஆகும். அதாவது, நாம் எடுத்த பிறவியில் இன்னொரு புதிய பிறவி கிடைக்கின்றது. அதற்குத் தக்கபடி புதிய எண்ணங்கள், புதிய பார்வைகள், புதிய மாற்றங்கள், புதிய ஏற்றங்கள் எல்லாம் ஏற்படுகின்றன.

அன்னையைப் பற்றி நாம் அறிந்து கொள்ள வேண்டிய உயர்ந்த அம்சங்களில் முக்கியமான இரண்டைச் சொல்ல வேண்டுமானால், அவர்கள் பகவானிடம் கொண்டிருந்த நன்றியுணர்வு, அவரைச் சரணடைந்த பாங்கு ஆகிய இரண்டையும் பிரதானமாகக் குறிப்பிட வேண்டும்.

நமக்கு நன்றியறிதல் எனில் ஒருவர் செய்த உதவிக்குப் பிரதிபலனாக நாம் உணர்வதை நன்றி என்கிறோம்.

'இறைவன் வாழ்வில் வெளிப்படுவதை',அன்னை நன்றி என்கிறார். பகவானை அன்னை ஒரு முனிவராகவோ, ரிஷியாகவோ கருதாமல் இறைவனின் ஜோதி உலகுக்கு வரும் வாயிலாகக் கருதினார். அவர் வசிக்கும் வீட்டை அன்னைக்குக் காட்டியவர் இறைவன் திருவுள்ளத்தை வெளிப்படுத்தும் வாயிலாகச்   செயல்பட்டார் எனக் கொண்டார். இதோ இந்த வீட்டில் அரவிந்தர் இருக்கிறார் என்று அந்த வழிப்போக்கர் சொன்ன சொற்கள், அன்னையின் அந்தராத்மாவில் ஒளிப் பொறியாக வந்து, தொட்டு, உள்ளே நுழைந்து, நிரந்தரமாகத் தங்கியதால், நிரந்தரமாக அன்னை அந்த வழிப்போக்கருக்கு நன்றியை மாதம் தவறாமல் செலுத்தினார்.

சாவித்திரியைப் படித்துவிட்டு, "இது நான் நேற்று பெற்ற அனுபவம்'' என்றார் அன்னை. அன்னை முதல்நாள் பெற்ற அனுபவத்தை, பகவான் அடுத்த நாளில் எழுதியது சாவித்திரி. வேதம் உற்பத்தியான இடத்தைவிட 3 நிலை உயர்ந்தது சாவித்திரி உற்பத்தியான இடம் என்பதே நாம் அறிய வேண்டியது. அளவு கடந்த மந்திரச் சக்தி சாவித்திரிக்கு இருப்பது அது பெரும்பாலும் overmind poetry என்பதால்தான்.

நம் அனுபவம், அறிவு ஏற்கும் வாய்ப்பு எவ்வளவு பெரியதானாலும், எவ்வளவு நம்மால் நம்ப முடியாவிட்டாலும், அவை நம் அறிவுக்கும், அனுபவத்திற்கும் பொருந்தும் - உதாரணமாக வருமானம் 10 மடங்கு பெருகும் - என்பதை எடுத்து, நம்மை விலக்கி, அன்னைக்குச் சமர்ப்பணம் செய்தால், அது பலிக்க ஆரம்பிப்பதை நடைமுறையில் காணலாம். நமக்குச் சத்தியஜீவியம் என்பது நேர்மையாக, நம் வருமானம் அளவுகடந்து பெருகுவதாகும். நாம் செய்யவேண்டியது,

• மனம் தூய்மையாக இருக்க வேண்டும்,
• கேட்பதை அனுபவம் ஏற்க வேண்டும்,

நம்பிக்கை மற்ற எதிலிருந்தும் மாறி அன்னையில் மட்டுமிருக்க வேண்டும்,

அந்நம்பிக்கை சந்தோஷம் கொடுக்கும் நேரம் விஷயம் பலிக்கும்,

அதுவும் பலனைவிட அன்னை முக்கியமானால் அளவுகடந்து பலித்து நின்று நிலைத்துப் பெருகும்.

- திரு கர்மயோகி அவர்கள்.

                  *****************************

  Some words of Sri Aurobindo  about " The Mother"


It is always best in these difficulties to tell the Mother and call
for her help. It is probably something in the vital that needs
somebody to protect and care for—but you must accustom
yourself to the idea that it is not needed and the best thing is to
give the person to the care of the Mother—offer the object of
your affection to her.

                  ************************************


The Mother's White Light

(1) The Mother’s consciousness (white) is not only peace,
but Light and Power.
(2) When one gets into contact with the Light above the
mind, the first result should be peace in the mind.
(3) Whatever Power of the Light descends should descend
into the peace of the mind without disturbing it.
(4) If you pull down the Light into an active mind, then
the action of the Light may get deformed and may be used
by the mind in a wrong way, with confusion and disturbance
or for purposes and movements that are those of an inferior
consciousness and not those of the Truth.
(5) There cannot be any real incompatibility between the
Mother’s consciousness and contact with the Light above.

                  ************************************



The Mother is always there with you. You have only to throw
away the forces of Ignorance to feel her with you always. 
It is said that the Mother is always present and looking at you.
That does not mean that in her physical mind she is thinking of
you always and seeing your thoughts. There is no need of that,
since she is everywhere and acts everywhere out of her universal
knowledge.


                  ************************************

Maheshwari’s natural place is in the higher consciousness above

mind, for she is the wideness and largeness and wisdom of
the Divine. Mahakali acts most naturally through the higher
vital which is the instrument of force and power. Mahalakshmi
acts through the heart—in your case at present she is acting
through the mind also, though that is less usual—ordinarily it
is Mahasaraswati.

                 ************************************

The Mother in the Bhagavat Gita

The Mother in the Bhagavat Gita 

The Gita does not speak expressly of the Divine Mother; it speaks always of surrender to the Purushottama—it mentions her only as the Para Prakriti who becomes the Jiva, i.e., who manifests the Divine in the multiplicity and through whom all these worlds are created by the Supreme and he himself descends as the Avatar.


The Gita follows the Vedantic tradition which leans entirely on the Ishwara aspect of the Divine and speakslittle of the Divine Mother because its object is to draw back from world-nature and arrive at the supreme realisation beyond it; the Tantrik tradition leans on the Shakti or Ishwari aspect and makes all depend on the Divine Mother, because its object is to possess and dominate the world-nature and arrive at the supreme realisation through it. This Yoga insists on both the aspects; the surrender to the Divine Mother is essential, for without it there is no fulfilment of the object of the Yoga.

In regard to the Purushottama the Divine Mother is the
supreme divine Consciousness and Power above the worlds,
Adya Shakti; she carries the Supreme in herself and manifests
the Divine in the worlds through the Akshara and the Kshara.
In regard to the Akshara she is the same Para Shakti holding the
Purusha immobile in herself and also herself immobile in him at
the back of all creation. In regard to the Kshara she is the mobile
cosmic Energy manifesting all beings and forces.

Sri Karmayogi's views on Energy in our Life

Energy

- Sri Karmayogi Avarkal, MSS

Marigold Flower - Significance : Energy

                                              

Energetic people accomplish. They attract success. Also they attract men by their excess energy. Talking to an energetic man, one feels enthused and energised. Energetic people are welcome everywhere and they go about life with a cheer which is their own.

   A small percentage of population is energyless. They are not able to leave the bed, nor go about any work with enthusiasm. They sag in work. Extreme cases go into depression. Others are tense. Smaller versions of energylessness express as clumsiness, inefficiency, quarrelsomeness, self-pity and pessimism.

   The causes of energylessness are many. The type of food, the quality of food, metabolism, temperament, attitude to life, upbringing may be the original cause of an energyless state now. Life becomes a burden when there is less energy than needed. Several remedies are there such as physical exercise, nutritious food, self-discipline, attention, organised functioning. Each one of them can relieve in a great measure. But I would like to consider a spiritual solution to this problem. As elsewhere, here also there are temporary as well as permanent remedies.

   Spiritually, there is an endless SOURCE of energy inside and if the inner source of energy relates to the external source of universal energy, there will be a surge of energy from inside or a downpour of it from above, flooding the person with energy.

   An industrialist from Madras who was on a visit to the USA had a tough schedule and was dragging himself. On a day when he went for an important meeting, he found himself at a low ebb. He was frightened that he could not accomplish at the meeting which was one hour later. Remembering the spiritual method, he began to call energy, repeating, "Energy, energy". In a few minutes he began to feel the change inside and he persisted. Soon he was filled with energy to overflowing but he did not stop invoking the energy. The hall where he was sitting began to fill and in an hour overflowed with rich energy, vibrating visibly.

   The method of invoking the spiritual energy is simply to call the energy inside us. It responds like a person. This will be a temporary method. As we have a good feeling towards a person, we can develop a good feeling to "Energy" and then energy will be a permanent possession.

Thoughts of the Day - அன்பர் சிந்தனைக்கு ..

படிப்பு அறிவை வளர்க்கும்.  மனிதனை மேதையாக்காது. No genius is created just by studies.  Studies help the genius express.         ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- சுயநலம் அறிவை மழுங்கச் செய்யும்.   Selfishness closes the mind and dulls the intelligence.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- செயலுக்கு காலம் தேவை. ஆன்மா செயல்பட்டால் அது தேவையில்லை.   Process needs time; essence is instantaneous.     ----------------------------------------------------------------------------      அன்னை செயல்படும் பொழுது அனைத்தும் நல்லதாக இருக்கும். எதுவும் தவறாது.  The Force, when it acts, produces several positive results. Even one of them will not be negative.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- அறிவு தடை என ஆத்மா அறியும்.  To know that understanding is a bar is knowledge.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Flowers speak to us when we know how to listen to them--it is a subtle and fragrant language." (The Mother)

The rishis of ancient India discovered the One Existence in all things. They saw the animate and inanimate alike as manifestations of Spirit pervaded through and through with living consciousness. They recognised not only the divinity of all but also the uniqueness and individuality of each. What they saw was codified and recorded in the holy scriptures, the Shastras. These rishis did not know by the mind or the senses. They perceived by a direct inner vision and identity with the object of perception. Of all animate and inanimate things on earth they found that flowers are nature’s purest manifestation of the Divine. They knew that each flower embodies in its color, form and fragrance a particular vibration or consciousness and that contact with a flower can bring one into contact with that vibration. For this reason flowers were commonly used in all forms of worship, offering and devotion. Through the ages flowers became an integral part of Indian culture playing a very significant though often forgotten role.
