Message of the Day: The 5 phases of True Mental Education

A true mental education, which will prepare man for a higher life, has five principal phases. Normally these phases follow one after another, but in exceptional individuals they may alternate or even proceed simultaneously. These five phases, in brief, are: (1) Development of the power of concentration, the capacity of attention. (2) Development of the capacities of expansion, widening, complexity and richness. (3) Organisation of one’s ideas around a central idea, a higher ideal or a supremely luminous idea that will serve as a guide in life.(4) Thought-control, rejection of undesirable thoughts, to become able to think only what one wants and when one wants.(5) Development of mental silence, perfect calm and a more and more total receptivity to inspirations coming from the higher regions of the being.

The Mother reads the following...............

In a swift eternal moment fixed there live Or ever recalled come back to longing eyes Calm heavens of imperishable Light, Illumined continents of violet peace, Oceans and rivers of the mirth of God And griefless countries under purple suns.

Canto III - The Glory and the Fall of Life

The Mother says about Savitri:

.........Each verse of Savitri is like a revealed Mantra which surpasses all that man possessed by the way of knowledge, and I repeat this, the words are expressed and arranged in such a way that the sonority of the rhythm leads you to the origin of sound, which is OM.

 ...................everything is there: mysticism, occultism, philosophy, the
history of evolution, the history of man, of the gods, of creation, of Nature. How the universe was created, why, for what purpose, what destiny - all is there. You can find all the answers to all your questions there. Everything is explained, even the future of man and of the evolution, all that nobody yet knows. He has described it all in beautiful and clear words so that spiritual adventurers who wish to solve the mysteries of the world may understand it more easily.........

Sri Aurobindo about Savitri:

The tale of Satyavan and Savitri is recited in the Mahabharata as a story of conjugal love conquering death. But this legend is, as shown by many features of the human tale, one of the many symbolic myths of the Vedic cycle. Satyavan is the soul carrying the divine truth of being within itself but descended into the grip of death and ignorance; Savitri is the Divine Word, daughter of the Sun, goddess of the supreme Truth who comes down and is born to save; Aswapati, the Lord of the Horse, her human father, is the Lord of Tapasya, the concentrated energy of spiritual endeavour that helps us to rise from the mortal to the immortal planes; Dyumatsena, Lord of the Shining Hosts, father of Satyavan, is the Divine Mind here fallen blind, losing its celestial kingdom of vision, and through that loss its kingdom of glory. Still this is not a mere allegory, the characters are not personified qualities, but incarnations or emanations of living and conscious Forces with whom we can enter into concrete touch and they take human bodies in order to help man and show him the way from his mortal state to a divine consciousness and immortal life.

Sri Aurobindo

Message of the Day - Happiness - சந்தோஷம்

What should we do to make the soul happy, so that it reincarnates in good conditions, for example in a spiritual environment? Have no sorrow and remain very peaceful and quiet, while keeping an affectionate remembrance of the one who has departed.   Lord, give me the real happiness, that which depends only upon Thee. * Always be good and you will always be happy.   Pelargonium Geranium Lord, give us true happiness, the happiness that depends on Thee alone.   Let us seek our happiness only in the Divine.

Message of the Day: What is the Divine?

From Notes on the Way.... Mother says:   Yesterday someone wrote to me asking: “After all, what is the Divine?” I answered. I told him that I was giving a reply to help him, but there could be a hundred which would all be good, one as good as another. “The Divine is lived, but cannot be defined.”   And then I added: but as you put to me the question, I answer: “The Divine is the absolute of perfection, eternal source of all that exists, of whom we become conscious progressively, all the while being Himself from all eternity.” Once someone told me also that it was for him something simply unthinkable.  So I answered him: “No! That does not help you. You have only to think that the Divine is all (at the maximum, yes), all that we want to become in our highest, most luminous aspiration. All that we want to become, that is the Divine.” He was so happy, he told me: “Oh! That way it becomes easy!”

Message of the Day - Happiness - உண்மையான சந்தோஷம்

The only way to a true and lasting happiness is a complete and exclusive reliance on the Divine’s Grace. Always be good and you will always be happy.   Let us always do the right thing and we shall always be quiet and happy.   Let us seek our happiness only in the Divine.
