Some lines from Savitri..

	A Power that laughed at the mischiefs of the world, An irony that joined the world's contraries And flung them into each other's arms to strive, Put a sardonic rictus on God's face.

Canto VII - The Descent into Night   Page 207

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.

Message of the Day : Protection - இறைவன் தரும் பாதுகாப்பை பெற வழி

* Surrender to the Divine is the best emotional protection. இறைவனிடம் சரணடைவதே, சிறந்த உணர்வுபூர்வமான பாதுகாப்பை பெற வழி. * In quietness you will feel that the divine force, help and protection are always with you. நீங்கள் அமைதியாக இருக்கும் போது, இறைவனின் சக்தி, உதவி மற்றும் பாதுகாப்பு உங்களுடன் இருப்பதை உணர முடியும். * Faithfulness is a condition for peace and protection.  இறைவனின் மீது கொண்ட நம்பிக்கைதான் அமைதிக்கும், பாதுகாப்பிற்குமான ஒரே நிபந்தனை. * Honesty is the best protection.  நேர்மை, சிறந்த பாதுகாப்பை அளிக்கும். * True strength and protection come from the Divine Presence in the heart. If you want to keep this Presence constantly in you, avoid carefully all vulgarity in speech, behaviour and acts. Do not mistake liberty for licence and freedom for bad manners. The thoughts must be pure and the aspiration ardent.  உண்மையான சக்தியும், பாதுகாப்பும், மனதில் இருக்கும் இறைவனிடம் இருந்தே எழுகின்றது. இறைவன் எப்போதும் நம் மனதில் நிலைகொள்ள, உங்களது பேச்சு, செயல் மற்றும் நடந்து கொள்ளும் முறைகளில் எந்த தவறும் இல்லாமல் கவனமாக இருக்கவேண்டும். மனதில் எழும் எண்ணங்கள் தூய்மையாக இருக்க வேண்டும்.   - Words of the Mother II

Message of the Day : Give Yourself to Divine: யோகமும் தியாகமும்

If you have faith and confidence, it is not the human form of the guru that you worship, but the Supreme Lord who manifests through him.   Be not troubled and give yourself unreservedly to the Supreme Lord through whatever channel helps you. ( எந்த வழி உங்களுக்கு உகந்ததோ, அந்த வழியில், உங்களை இறைவனுக்கு முழுவதுமாக அர்ப்பணம் செய்யுங்கள்.)  Generally speaking, when a man starts building yogic theories on his own particular work, one should always be wary. All work can and should be done in a yogic spirit. But the “sacrifice” should be made to the  Supreme Divine and not to a human being. (அனைத்து வேலைகளும் யோகத்தினைப் போலவே செய்யப் பட வேண்டும். தியாகம் என்பது இறைவனுக்காகவே மேற்கொள்ளப்பட வேண்டும், மனிதனுக்காக அல்ல.) With love and blessings.  -Words of the Mother I

Message of the Day : Capacities required to gain access to the Supramental world - சத்திய ஜீவிய உலகை அடைய தேவையான திறன்கள்

....................On the capacities required to gain access to the Supramental world :) Capacity for indefinite expansion of consciousness on all planes including the material.   (ஜடம் உட்பட அனைத்து  நிலைகளிலும், இறை உணர்வை முடிவில்லாமல் பெறும்  தன்மை) Limitless plasticity, to be able to follow the movement of becoming. (வரையறை இல்லாமல், தனக்கு வரப்போகும் மாற்றத்தினை ஏற்றுக் கொள்ளும் தன்மை) Perfect equality abolishing all possibility of ego reaction.  (நடுநிலையுடன், சமத்துவத்துடன் செயல்பட்டு, அகந்தை செயல்படுவதற்கான எல்லா வழிகளையும் அழித்தல்)

- Mother's Agenda, Volume 3

Message of the Day: Growth : நம் வளர்ச்சிக்கு முடிவில்லை

Naturally, someone told me, “So one is no longer young when one stops growing?” I said, “Of course, I don’t imagine that one grows perpetually! But one can grow in another way than purely physically.” That is to say, in human life there are successive periods. As you go forward, something comes to an end in one form, and it changes its form.... Naturally, at present, we come to the top of the ladder and come down again; but that’s really a shame, it shouldn’t be like that, it’s a bad habit. But when we have finished growing up, when we have reached a height we could consider as that which expresses us best, we can transform this force for growth into a force which will perfect our body,make it stronger and stronger,more and more healthy, with an ever greater power of resistance, and we shall practise physical training in order to become a model of physical beauty. And then, at the same time, we shall slowly begin and seek the perfection of character, of consciousness, knowledge, powers, and finally of the divine Realisation in its fullness of the marvellously good and true, and of His perfect Love. (சுருக்கம் : நமது இளமைப்பருவத்திற்குப் பின்னும், உடல், மனம்,ஞானம், சக்தி மற்றும் உணர்வு நிலைகளில் நம்மால் வளர முடியும் என்கிறார் ஸ்ரீ அன்னை. இந்த வளர்ச்சியானது, முடிவில் இறைவனின் அன்பைப் பெற, உணர நம்மை தகுதியுடையவர்களாக்கும் என்று விளக்குகிறார்.) - Some Answers from the Mother

Message of the Day - Victory - வெற்றி

Victory will triumph over all obstacles. I was not referring to victory in games, but to the victory of the consciousness over ignorance and stupidity. The Victory is certain and with this certitude we can face patiently any amount of wrong suggestions and hostile attacks. The certitude of the Victory gives an infinite patience with the maximum of energy. - The Mother from Words of the Mother – III

Message of the Day : Solution for falsehood - பொய்மையை நீக்குவதற்கான தீர்வு

There is only one solution for falsehood. It is to cure in ourselves all that contradicts in our consciousness the Presence of the Divine. Yes, I insist on that; it is very true, very true. It may not be easy to understand, but it is a very profound truth. (பொய்மைக்கு ஒரே ஒரு தீர்வுதான் உள்ளது. நம் consciousness -ல்,  இறைவனுக்கு எதிராக உள்ள எல்லாவற்றையும்  நீக்குவது ஒன்றே அதற்குரிய வழி.) - The Mother On Her message of 31 December 1972.

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.

Message of the Day : Divine Presence

Prayers and Meditations : AS soon as all effort disappears from a manifestation, it becomes very simple, with the simplicity of a flower opening, manifesting its beauty and spreading its fragrance without clamour or vehement gesture. And in this simplicity lies the greatest power, the power which is least mixed and least gives rise to harmful reactions. The power of the vital should be mistrusted, it is a tempter on the path of the work, and there is always a risk of falling into its trap, for it gives you the taste of immediate results; and, in our first eagerness to do the work well, we let ourselves be carried away to make use of this power. But very soon it deflects all our action from the right course and introduces a seed of illusion and death into what we do. Simplicity, simplicity! How sweet is the purity of Thy Presence! . . . (இறைவன் ஒரு செயலில் வெளிப்படும்போது, நாம் செய்யும் முயற்சி ஒரு மலர் மலர்வதைப் போல மிக எளிதாகிறது.)   - Prayers and Meditations - The Mother.

Message of the day: Meditation And Ohm Mantra - தியானம் - ஓம் மந்திரம்

Meditation: .......Only one method is worth recommending: meditation. But as I was telling you last time, there are many ways of meditating; some are very effective, others less so. Each one should find his own by successive trial and error. However, one thing can be recommended to everyone: reflection, that is to say, concentration, self-observation in solitude and silence, a close and strict analysis of the multitude of insignificant little thoughts which constantly assail us. During the few moments you devote each day to this preliminary exercise of meditation, avoid, if possible, the complacent contemplation of your sensations, your feelings, your states of mind. We all have an inexhaustible fund of self-indulgence, and very often we treat all these little inner movements with the greatest respect and give them an importance which they certainly do not have, even relative to our own evolution.  (தியானம் என்பதில் பல முறைகள் உள்ளன. ஒவ்வொரு முறையையும்  சோதித்து அவரவர்களுக்கு ஏற்ற ஒரு முறையை தேர்ந்தெடுத்துக் கொள்வதே சரியானது. ஆனால் தியானத்தில் அனைவருக்கும் தேவையான  ஒன்றைக் கூறுகிறேன். மனதை ஒருமுகப்படுத்தும் தன்மை, தனிமை மற்றும் அமைதி, தொடர்ந்து நம்மை தாக்கும் அற்ப விஷயங்களில் இருந்து மனதை விலக்கும் தன்மை ஆகிய அனைத்தையும் கவனிக்க வேண்டும் என்கிறார் அன்னை.) Meditation with "AUM" : ..............here is a very powerful word, for it can combine the qualities of all three categories: it is the Sanskrit word “AUM”. It is used in India to express the divine Immanence. There, it is associated with every meditation, every  contemplation, every yogic practice. More than any other sound, this sound “AUM” gives rise to a feeling of peace, of serenity, of eternity. (அன்னை "ஓம்" என்ற மந்திரத்தின் சக்தியைப் பற்றியும் குறிப்பிடுகிறார். இது தியானத்தில் உபயோகப்படுத்தப்படும்போது  அமைதியும், நித்தியத்துவத்தையும் அளிக்கிறது என்கிறார் ஸ்ரீ அன்னை.)   - Words of Long Ago - The Mother.

Message of the Day: Family - குடும்பம் என்பது எப்படி இருக்க வேண்டும் ?

Family: We have spoken of the love of parents for their children and of children for their parents. If someone asked you what makes a family, what would you reply? I asked a child the other day and he replied, “Two.” He meant the husband and the wife. I asked another child and he replied, “Three,” thinking of the father, the mother and the child. And yet we can see that the family is very often larger than these three.Suppose, for example, that there are four: father, mother and two children. " Then a new idea, a new friendship comes into play, the friendship of brother and sister. In this friendship, we do not look up, as to a parent, or down, as to a child. We are attached to a friend who is more on our own level, who is in a way our equal, or nearly our equal in age."  (குடும்பம் என்பது என்ன? குடும்ப உறுப்பினர்கள் மட்டும் அல்ல. குடும்பத்தினரிடம் இருக்க வேண்டிய நட்புணர்வை அன்னை இங்கு குறிப்பிடுகிறார். இதில் பெற்றோர் என்பதோ, குழந்தைகள் என்பதோ இல்லை. நமக்கு சரிசமமாக இருக்கக் கூடிய நண்பர்களாகவே, நமது வயதையுடைய நண்பர்களாவே அனைவரும் கருதப்படவேண்டும் என்கிறார் அன்னை.) And so brotherly affection adds a new gem to the wealth of the household.   - Words of Long Ago - The Mother.

Message of the day - How can depressions be controlled?

How can depressions be controlled? Oh! There’s a very simple way. Depression occurs generally in the vital, and one is overpowered by depression only when one keeps the consciousness in the vital, when one remains there. மனஅழுத்தம் என்பதுஉணர்வு நிலையில் எழுவது. நீங்கள் உணர்வு நிலையில் உள்ளபோது, மன அழுத்தம் அங்கு மேலோங்குகிறது. இதில் இருந்து விடு பட ஒரே வழி, Vital - உணர்வு நிலையில் இருந்து அகன்று, அதற்கு மேலே, ஒரு ஆழ்ந்த consciousness நிலையை அடைவதே ஆகும். The only thing to do is to get out of the vital and enter a deeper consciousness. Even the  highermind, the luminous, highermind, the most lofty thoughts have the power to drive away depression.                   எப்பொழுது ஒருவர் தனது நினைவுகளில் , உயர்வான நிலையை அடைகிறாரோ, அவரிடம் இருந்து மன அழுத்தம் விலகுகிறது. ஆனால் ஒருவர், சைத்தியத்தில் அடைக்கலம் புகும்போது,  மன அழுத்தத்திற்கு அங்கு இடமில்லை. Even when one reaches just the highest domains of thought, usually the depression disappears. But in any case, if one seeks shelter in the psychic, then there is no longer any room for depression. (Receptivity - ஏற்புத் திறன் - இறை அருளை ஏற்கும் திறன். )   - Words of The Mother 2 - The Mother.

Message of the Day - Receptivity - ஏற்புத் திறன் - இறை அருளை ஏற்கும் திறன்

Receptivity is the capacity of admitting and retaining the Divine Workings. Receptivity: conscious of the Divine Will and surrendered to it. Integral receptivity: the whole being is aware of the Divine Will and obeys it. Psychic receptivity: the psychic responds joyously to the ascending force. Mental receptivity: always ready to learn. Emotional receptivity: emotions wanting to be divinised. Vital receptivity happens only when the vital understands that it must be  transformed.The vital blossoms in aspiration for the Divine. (Receptivity - ஏற்புத் திறன் - இறை அருளை ஏற்கும் திறன். )   - Words of The Mother 2 - The Mother.

Message : Harm done by incontinence of speech - கட்டுப்பாடற்ற பேச்சினால் விளையும் தீங்கு

So, the subject of our meditation ..will be this: “On the harm done by incontinence of speech.” Very often I have told you that every word spoken uselessly is dangerous chatter. But here, the situation has reached the very limit—there are things which have been said, said over and over again, repeated by all those who have tried to perfect humanity, unfortunately without much result—it is a question of malicious gossip... of slander, of that pleasure taken in speaking ill of others. Anyone who indulges in this kind of incontinence debases his consciousness, and when to this incontinence is added the habit of vulgar quarrelling, expressed in coarse language, then that amounts to suicide, spiritual suicide within oneself. I stress this point and insist that you take it very seriously. (வீண் பேச்சு எவ்வளவு அபாயகரமானது என்பதனை நான் அடிக்கடி குறிப்பிட்டுள்ளேன். ......இத்தகைய கட்டுப்பாடற்ற பேச்சில் ஈடுபடும் எவருடைய தன்னுணர்வும் (consciousness ) குறைகிறது. இத்தகைய கட்டுபாடற்ற தன்மை, கீழ்த்தர வார்த்தைகளை வெளிக்கொணரும் சண்டையாக மாறும் போது, அந்த மனிதனுடைய  ஆன்மிகம் அழிகிறது.அவனே தனது ஆன்மீகத்தினை அழிக்கிறான். இந்தக் கருத்தை நான்  தீவிரமாக வலியுறுத்துகிறேன்.  )   - Questions and Answers - The Mother.
