Only For and Only When

Image
Only For This message is only for “a selected few”. Who? Here are Sri Aurobindo and the Mother to clarify: https://zechjoya.blogspot.com/2026/01/a-selected-few.html Only When "Just the state of consciousness when I act spontaneously (the “I” is a habit of speech, it’s to avoid having to make sentences), when I act spontaneously, without objectifying myself, it is generally fairly unbearable: the reactions in others are tiresome. I always have to [contain myself] … It does happen, but generally I am obliged to be careful, especially when I have to speak. And there is a very amusing observation; it’s exactly what Sri Aurobindo writes in Savitri: “The wise men talk and sleep …” God grows up while the wise men talk and sleep. And that’s how it is: wholly unconscious of what goes on. I don’t say it (I am saying it to you), but they are wholly unconscious. I constantly feel I am using a candle snuffer! so as not to be … really unbearable. When this luminous Power comes, it’s so compact...

Who are you?

"The Soul of man, a traveller, wanders in this cycle of Brahman, huge, a totality of lives, a totality of states, thinking itself different from the Impeller of the journey. Accepted by Him, it attains its goal of Immortality. Swetaswatara Upanishad. (I. 6.) "The progressive revelation of a great, a transcendent, a luminous Reality with the multitudinous relativities of this world that we see and those other worlds that we do not see as means and material, condition and field, this would seem then to be the meaning of the universe,— since meaning and aim it has and is neither a purposeless illusion nor a fortuitous accident . For the same reasoning which leads us to conclude that world-existence is not a deceptive trick of Mind, justifies equally the certainty that it is no blindly and helplessly self-existent mass of separate phenomenal existences clinging together and struggling together as best they can in their orbit through eternity, no tremendous self-creation and self-...

An Advancing Science, Not a Religion

Image
For the still a bit doubtful of the Integral Supramental Yoga of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, but still hanging about in Their Auroville for the-Supreme-Divine-Mother-only-knows what 😘: “The Integral Yoga of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother is, in fact, a programme of yogic research,—a programme of scientific and applied research. For Yoga is not a closed book. It is not a body of revelations made once for all, unverifiable and unsurpassable. It is not a religion; it is an advancing science, with its field of inquiry and search always enlarging; its methods are not only intuitive but include also bold experimentation and rigorous verification by means of abiding experience, and, finally, even by physical change and transformation. It is in this spirit that Sri Aurobindo and Mother went on testing day and night their experiments and results over decades and decades. Their programme of yogic research took within its sweep all the domains of life, all aspects of culture, and arrived at a sy...

Transformation is IN THE WORK ITSELF

Image
Individual and Collective Here's the Mother revealing to Satprem that “ the individual work of the body's transformation ” is concurrent with and complementary to the work for the collective: "But in your case… it’s your mission, you understand. I don’t know how to explain. I always, always see you in direct and constant contact with… with this Consciousness expressing itself; so when it reaches the mental level, you’re as if… arranging pawns on a chessboard. I’ve looked very, very often: it’s indispensable, it’s an indispensable work, and extremely useful. Naturally, my body, too, might say, “If instead of seeing all these people I were all the time like this (gesture huddled in the Lord), working to hasten the transformation, it would be very pleasant!” For you too, it’s like that, but we’re here to do something. That’s it. And it’s a certainty, a certainty because several times when things became critical, I have told the Lord, “There, it’s for You to decide—whether to...

What is the Good Will for?

Image
“Greetings from Auroville to all men of good will. “Are invited to Auroville all those who thirst for progress and aspire to a higher and truer life.” https://incarnateword.in/agenda/09/february-28-1968 Obviously not for the mere benefit of the human. The Mother was very clear in the link below: https://incarnateword.in/agenda/01/may-2-1956 Getting straight back to the point of “good will” for anyone wishing to engage in Her Auroville, the Mother continues: "But it’s not man who is going to convert himself into a superman! No? Just try a little! (laughter) You see, it is something else that is going to do the work. So we are … Only—yes, there is an ‘only,’ I don’t want to be so cruel: NOW MAN CAN COLLABORATE. That is, he can lend himself to the process, with good will, with aspiration, and help to his utmost. Which is why I said it will go faster. I hope it will go MUCH faster. But even if it does go much faster, it will still take some time!" Crystal clear enough, isn't ...
