BE GOOD FOR THE SAKE OF BEING GOOD

 MOTHER SO SAID

          "You must not cherish the illusion that if you want to follow the straight path, if you are modest, if you seek purity, if you are disinterested, if you want to lead a solitary existence and have a clear judgment, things will become easy.... It is quite the contrary! When you begin to advance towards inner and outer perfection, the difficulties start at the same time.

I have very often heard people saying, “Oh! now that I am trying to be good, everybody seems to be bad to me! ” But this is precisely to teach you that one should not be good with an interested motive, one should not be good so that others will be good to you – one must be good for the sake of being good.

It is always the same lesson one must do as well as one can, the best one can, but without expecting a result, without doing it with a view to the result. Just this attitude, to expect a reward for a good action – to become good because one thinks that this will make life easier – takes away all value from the good action.

You must be good for the love of goodness, you must be just for the love of justice, you must be pure for the love of purity and you must be disinterested for the love of disinterestedness; then you are sure to advance on the way."

RELIANCE IN PROTECTION

 You have to develop the power and the habit of taking refuge in the protection of the Mother and myself. It is for this reason that the habit of criticising and judging by the outer mind or cherishing its preconceived ideas and formations must disappear. You should repeat always to yourself when it tries to rise, “Sri Aurobindo and the Mother know better than myself – they have the experience and knowledge which I have not – they must surely be acting for the best and in a greater light than that of ordinary human knowledge.” If you can fix that idea in yourself so that it will remain even in clouded moments you will be able to face much more easily the suggestions of the Asuric Maya.

THE SUPREME BY MONA SARKAR

 🌷 SUPRAMENTAL SPLENDOUR 🌷

      

        You remember, don't you, that when He left His body, the body remained glorious for almost five days. Perfectly luminous, even though He had poured all His Supramental Force into me.  He gave me everything, everything before He left.  But his body still radiated with the Supramental Splendour... You know, at that moment, during the last few minutes, I was standing near His bed and I could literally see the Supramental Light entering into me, materially, with a friction it was entering into me.  It was as concrete as that, through the pores, it was entering like this (gesture) 

THE SUPREME by Mona Sarkar

🌷 MATTER SHALL REVEAL THE SPIRIT'S FACE 🌷 

      Each step that I have placed deliberately on the earth has sent vibrations, like echoes that ring and resound, into the inertia of this matter which sleeps in a torpor of inconscience in order to awaken it to a rhythm of harmony and to a consciousness of beauty and truth. And how with a spark of light they awoke with Joy and responded to my call by a tremendous stirring to participate in this effort towards transformation. 

🌸 The Mother.👏

THE SUPREME BY MONA SARKAR

The Vision and the Boon(p-334)

 Alight, the dun unplumbed subconscient caves 

Thrilled with the prescience of her longed-for tread 

And filled with flickering crests and praying tongues. 

Even lost in slumber, mute, inanimate 

His very body answered to her power. 

The One he worshipped was within him now: 

Flame-pure, ethereal-tressed, a mighty Face 

Appeared and lips moved by immortal words; 

Lids, Wisdom's leaves, drooped over rapture's orbs. 

Savitri Sri Aurobindo p-334, The Vision and the Boon

The Vision and the Boon

 

All at her contact broke from silence' seal; 

Spirit and body thrilled identified, 

Linked in the grasp of an unspoken joy; 

Mind, members, life were merged in ecstasy. 

Intoxicated as with nectarous rain 

His nature's passioning stretches flowed to her, 

Flashing with lightnings, mad with luminous wine. 

All was a limitless sea that heaved to the moon. 

A divinising stream possessed his veins, 

His body's cells awoke to spirit sense, 

Each nerve became a burning thread of joy: 

Tissue and flesh partook beatitude.

The Finding of the Soul P-530

But once the hidden doors are flung apart 

Then the veiled king steps out in Nature's front; 

A Light comes down into the Ignorance, 

Its heavy painful knot loosens its grasp: 

The mind becomes a mastered instrument 

And life a hue and figure of the soul. 

All happily grows towards knowledge and towards bliss.

Savitri Sri Aurobindo p-530, The Finding of the Soul

 

Aspiration

 

Aspiration

     Let the power of the Mother work in you, but be careful to avoid any mixture or substitution, in its place, of either a magnified ego-working or a force of Ignorance presenting itself as Truth. 

    Aspire especially for the elimination of all obscurity and unconsciousness in the nature.

Letters on The Mother

Sri Aurobindo 🙏

how does one do Yoga?

 🌸Q : Sweet Mother, how does one do Yoga?

The Mother : Be wholly sincere, never try to deceive others. And try never to

deceive yourself.

Blessings.

The Finding of the Soul

 

Behind all reigned her sovereign deathless soul: 

Casting aside its veil of Ignorance, 

Allied to gods and cosmic beings and powers 

It built the harmony of its human state; 

Surrendered into the great World-Mother's hands 

Only she obeyed her sole supreme behest 

In the enigma of the Inconscient's world. 

A secret soul behind supporting all 

Is master and witness of our ignorant life, 

Admits the Person's look and Nature's role.

Savitri Sri Aurobindo p-530, The Finding of the Soul.

The Finding of the Soul P-529

 In the country of the lotus of the head 

Which thinking mind has made its busy space, 

In the castle of the lotus twixt the brows 

Whence it shoots the arrows of its sight and will, 

In the passage of the lotus of the throat 

Where speech must rise and the expressing mind 

And the heart's impulse run towards word and act, 

A glad uplift and a new working came. 

The immortal's thoughts displaced our bounded view, 

The immortal's thoughts earth's drab idea and sense; 

All things now bore a deeper heavenlier sense. 

Savitri Sri Aurobindo p-529, The Finding of the Soul.
