Message of the day - God has a sense of humour -

They proved to me by convincing reasons that God did not exist, and I believed them. Afterwards I saw God, for He came and embraced me. And now which am I to believe, the reasonings of others or my own experience?

- Sri Aurobindo - Book - On thought and Aphorisms



Mother on Sri Aurobindo's Thought:

Sri Aurobindo is not asking a question, but rather making an ironic comment. It is to bring out clearly the stupidity of the reasonings of the mind, which imagines it can speak of what it does not know. It is nothing else........... 

...........Someone has asked me, “How is it possible for God to reveal Himself to an unbeliever?” That’s very funny; because if it pleases God to reveal Himself to an unbeliever, I don’t see
what would prevent Him from doing so!

On the contrary,He (God) has a sense of humour—Sri Aurobindo has told us many times already that the Supreme has a sense of
humour, that we are the ones who want to make Him into a grave and invariably serious character—and He may find it very amusing to come and embrace an unbeliever. Someone who
has only the day before declared, “God does not exist. I do not believe in Him. All that is folly and ignorance....”, He gathers him into His arms, He presses him to His heart—and He laughs
in his face.

ஆஸ்திகன் நல்லவன்; நாஸ்திகன் கெட்டவன் என்பது நம் கருத்து. நாஸ்திகனுக்குள்ள தெய்வ நம்பிக்கை ஆஸ்திகனுடைய தெய்வ நம்பிக்கையைவிட உயர்ந்தது என்பது ஆன்மிக உண்மை. புண்ணியத்தை நாம் வரவேற்கின்றோம். பாவத்தை வெறுக்கின்றோம். அவை இரண்டும் ஆன்மிகப் பாதையிலுள்ள இரண்டு கட்டங்கள் என்பது சித்தி பெற்றவர்களுடைய விளக்கம்.
