Message of the Day: Openness - திறந்த மனப்பான்மை

What is Openness? Openness is the will to receive and to utilise for progress the force and influence; the constant aspiration to remain in touch with the Consciousness; the faith that the force and consciousness are always with you, around you, inside you and that you have only to let nothing stand in the way of your receiving them. * Opening is a release of the consciousness by which it begins to admit into itself the workings of the Divine Light and Power. * Open to the consciousness which is working on and in you and keep always as quiet and peaceful as you can. (சுருக்கம் - உங்களில் செயல்படும் இறைவனின் சக்தியை, இறை உணர்வை, உங்கள் மீது செயல்படும் இறைவனின் ஒளியை, சக்தியை முழுமையாகச் செயல்படச் செய்ய, பயன்படுத்திக் கொள்ள - நீங்கள்  முழுமையான திறந்த மனப்பான்மையினைப் Openness கொண்டிருக்க வேண்டும். உங்களால் முடிந்த அளவு, மௌனமாகவும், அமைதியாகவும் இருக்க வேண்டியதும் அவசியமாகும் என்கிறார் ஸ்ரீ அன்னை.) - The Mother, Words of the Mother

Message of the Day: What is surrender? சரணாகதி என்பது என்ன ?

What is surrender?   It means that one gives oneself entirely to the Divine. Yes, and then what happens? If you give yourself entirely to the Divine, it is He who does the Yoga, it is no longer you; hence this is not very difficult; while if you do tapasya, it is you yourself who do the yoga and you carry its whole responsibility—it is there the danger lies. But there are people who prefer to have the whole responsibility, with its dangers, because they have a very independent spirit. They are not perhaps in a great hurry— if they need several lives to succeed, it does not matter to them. But there are others who want to go quicker and be more sure of reaching the goal; well, these give over the whole responsibility to the Divine. - The Mother, Questions and Answers 1950 1950

Message of the Day: Earthly life

Earthly life is the place for progress. It is here, on earth, that progress is possible, during the period of earthly existence. And it is the psychic which carries the progress over from one life to another, by organising its own evolution and development itself.   - Questions and Answers - The Mother.

Message of the Day: Meditation - தியானம்

I think the most important thing is to know why one meditates; this is what gives the quality of the meditation and makes it of one order or another. You may meditate to open yourself to the divine Force, you may meditate to reject the ordinary consciousness, you may meditate to enter the depths of your being, you may meditate to learn how to give yourself integrally; you may meditate for all kinds of things. You may meditate to enter into peace and calm and silence—this is what people generally do, but without much success. But you may also meditate to receive the Force of transformation, to discover the points to be transformed, to trace out the line of progress. And then you may also meditate for very practical reasons: when you have a difficulty to clear up, a solution to find, when you want help in some action or other. You may meditate for that too. I think everyone has his own mode of meditation. But if one wants the meditation to be dynamic, one must have an aspiration for progress and the meditation must be done to help and fulfil this aspiration for progress. Then it becomes dynamic.   - Questions and Answers - The Mother.

Quote of the Day : The Aim - வாழ்வின் குறிக்கோள்

The aim of our life on earth is to  become conscious of the Divine.   The true purpose of life— To live for the Divine, or to live for the Truth, or at least to live for one’s soul. And the true sincerity— To live for the Divine without expecting any benefit from Him in return. (இறைவனை உணர்வதே, இப்புவியில் நமது வாழ்வின் குறிக்கோள்)   - Words of the Mother II- The Mother.

Message of the Day - Progress

Progress: the reason why we are on earth.   One has always something to learn and a progress to make, and in each circumstance we can find the occasion of learning the lesson and making the progress.     Progress: to be ready, at every minute, to give up all one is and all one has in order to advance on the way.   - Words of the Mother- The Mother.

Message of the Day: How can one understand the Divine? - இறைவனைப் புரிந்துகொள்வது எவ்வாறு?

How can one understand the Divine? By becoming Him, my child. And that is the only way: by identity. As Sri Aurobindo says, “We know the Divine and become the Divine, because we are That already in our secret nature.” It is because He is the very essence of our being that we can become Him and, consequently, understand Him; otherwise it would be quite impossible.   - Questions and Answers - The Mother.
