Applied Spirituality of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother.

  How to come out of the microscopic ego? Take someone who is writing a book, for instance. If he looks at himself writing the book, you can’t imagine how dull the book will become; it smells immediately of the small human personality which is there and it loses all its value. When a painter paints a picture, if he observes himself painting the picture, the picture will never be good, it will always be a kind of projection of the painter’s personality; it will be without life, without force, without beauty. But if, all of a sudden, he becomes the thing he wants to express, if he becomes the brushes, the painting, the canvas, the subject, the image, the colours, the value, the whole thing, and is entirely inside it and lives it, he will make something magnificent. For everything, everything, it is the same. There is nothing which cannot be a yogic discipline if one does it properly. And if it is not done properly, even tapasya will be of no use and will lead you nowhere. For it is t...

Mother on Her Voice.

“My voice has an extraordinary power, it spreads a harmony, a peace, a light and an amplitude that resounds and shines brightly in each cell with a Joy that exults to know Him. It gives an amplitude and travels in waves which ring through the atmosphere in the occult worlds. This voice can be heard in the spheres that constitute the universe, and even more in the immutable silence of eternity, beyond all manifestation - in the immobile beatitude of His power and His resplendent light. My voice recovers the divine presence which creates the Word which is the expression of His plenitude and His Illumination.” The Mother THE SUPREME by Mona Sarkar

The Mother By Sri Aurobindo Read by The Mother.

“The last stage of this perfection will come when you are completely identified with the Divine Mother and feel yourself to be no longer another and separate being, instrument, servant or worker but truly a child and eternal portion of her consciousness and force. Always she will be in you and you in her; it will be your constant, simple and natural experience that all your thought and seeing and action, your very breathing and moving come from her and are hers. You will know and see and feel that you are a person and power formed by her out of herself, put out from her for the play and yet always safe in her, being of her being, consciousness of her consciousness, force of her force, ananda of her Ananda. When this condition is entire and her supramental energies can freely move you, then you will be perfect in divine works; knowledge, will, action will become sure, simple, luminous, spontaneous, flawless, an outflow from the Supreme, a divine movement of the Eternal.” From The Mother...

No words-Act. The Mother

You know that scores of people have come for Auroville.... Instead of working, they spend their time talking and chatting! And they send me letters. Their whole mental ego is bubbling with excitement, all of them. Have you seen them?   No. I am afraid they may "summon" me!   They've already begun discussing what the city's political situation will be - even before the first stone has been laid! And one of them, the one with a Communist creed (he is the one who has the greatest energy and power of realization), is scandalized: he wrote to me yesterday, saying he couldn't take part in something that wasn't "purely democratic"! ... So I answered him this  (Mother hands Satprem her note) :   "Auroville must be at the service of the Truth, beyond all social, political and religious convictions."   I told him many things  (Mother makes a gesture of mental communication) , but above all, I insisted a lot on the fact that it would be better to buil...

Raison d’être of Auroville

  1968, February 3 rd :  Excerpt from a conversation with Satprem: M other’s  A genda Taped conversation  in French. ... They wanted to make some kind of brochure on Auroville, to distribute to the press, people in the government, etc., on the 28 th [ Auroville’s  Inaugura tion Ceremony ] ,  and before that, there’s a conference of all nations (“all nations” is an exaggeration, but anyway they say “all nations” in Delhi, in two or three days. And  Anja n i   [Dayanand]  is going there, and she wants to take papers on Auroville. They had prepared some texts – always lengthy, never-ending: speeches and more speeches. So I asked, I concentrated to know what should be said. And then all of a sudden Sri Aurobindo gave me a revelation. That was interesting. I concentrated to know the why, the how, etc., then all of  a sudden Sri Aurobindo said... [ Mother reads  the message   sh e  had  writt en two days earlier  for t...
