Message of the Day : The Cosmic Consciousness - Sri Aurobindo from the Synthesis of Yoga

.........In the right view both of life and of Yoga all life is either consciously or subconsciously a Yoga.  ........For we mean by this term a methodised effort towards self-perfection by the expression of the secret potentialities latent in the being and—highest condition of victory in that effort—a union of the human individual with the universal and transcendent Existence we see partially expressed in man and in the Cosmos. But all life, when we look behind its appearances, is a vast Yoga of Nature who attempts in the conscious and the subconscious to realise her perfection in an ever-increasing expression of her yet unrealised potentialities and to unite herself with her own divine reality. ........Not only Spirit is one, but Mind, Life,Matter are one. There is one cosmic Mind, one cosmic Life, one cosmic Body. All the attempt of man to arrive at universal sympathy, universal love and the understanding and knowledge of the inner soul of other existences is an attempt to beat thin, breach and eventually break down by the power of the enlarging mind and heart the walls of the ego and arrive nearer to a cosmic oneness. ...........Even our bodies are not really separate entities and therefore our very physical consciousness is capable of oneness with the physical consciousness of others and of the cosmos.  The Yogin is able to feel his body one with all bodies, to be aware of and even to participate in their affections; he can feel constantly the unity of all Matter and be aware of his physical being as only a movement in its movement. - The Cosmic Consciousness - Sri Aurobindo from the Synthesis of Yoga

Message of the Day - Truth - உண்மை இல்லாமல், எதுவுமில்லை

Questions and Answers - The Mother one finds the truth in things, does it mean that one has found the Divine? Surely! In everything, whatever it is that is the only way. There is not a thing that does not carry in itself an eternal truth, otherwise it could not exist. The universe could not exist for even a thousandth part of a second if it did not contain a truth in itself.

Message of the Day : Whose choice is this to be the Instrument of God ? இறைவனின் கருவியாவதை யார் தேர்தெடுப்பது?

Sweet Mother,  “The Supreme has laid his luminous hand upon a chosen human vessel of his miraculous Light and Power and Ananda.” -  Ibid., p. 81 Does the Supreme choose the being who will be his instrument, or does the being choose to become his instrument? ( தனக்கு யார் கருவியாக வேண்டும் என்று இறைவன் தேர்ந்தெடுக்கிறானா அல்லது  ஒரு ஜீவன், இறைவனின் கருவியாவதை, தானே தேர்ந்தெடுக்கிறதா? You can take it as you like. One can’t tell who began! But the two usually take place at the same time. If you want an order of priority, it is evident that the Divine exists before the individual, so it must be the Divine who has chosen first! But that is a choice prior to terrestrial life. In the order of the ordinary human consciousness it may be one or the other or both at the same time. In fact, it is likely that the Divine is the first to notice that this or that being is ready! But he who is ready generally does not know it to begin with, so he has the impression that it is he who has decided and is choosing. But this is more of an impression than a reality. And once you are chosen, it is ineluctable, you can’t escape even if you try. ( தேர்தெடுப்பது என்பது பொதுவாக ஒரே சமயம் நிகழும். யாருக்கு முன்னுரிமை என பார்த்தால், இறைவனே  முதலாக இருப்பதால், இறைவனே தான் செயல்படத்தக்க  ஜீவனை தேர்ந்தெடுக்கிறார் எனலாம். ஆனால் தேர்ந்தெடுக்கும் உரிமை உலகில் அனைத்திற்கும் உள்ளது என்பதால் ஜீவனும் இறைவனை நாடலாம். பொதுவாக, ஒரு ஜீவன், தனக்கு கருவியாக செயல்பட தயாராகி விட்டதா என்பதை முதலில் இறைவனே கவனிக்கிறான். ஆனால், ஒரு முறை நீங்கள் அவனால் தேர்ந்தெடுக்கப் பட்டால் நீங்கள் நினைத்தாலும், அதில் இருந்து விடுபட முடியாது என்கிறார் ஸ்ரீ அன்னை.)

Questions and Answers - The Mother

Message of the Day: Mother explains: What is the Divine? இறைவன் என்பவன் யார்?

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.” (இறைவன் முழுமையின் உருவம்; இந்த உலகில் இருக்கும் அனைத்திற்கும் மூல காரணமானவன். நாம் படிப்படியாக உணரும் அவன், தானே அனைத்துமாக இருக்கிறான். )   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.”
