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.

Savitri P-529, 530

 

A channel of the mighty Mother's choice, 

The immortal's will took into its calm control 

Our blind or erring government of life; 

A loose republic once of wants and needs, 

Then bowed to the uncertain sovereign mind, 

Life now obeyed to a diviner rule 

And every act became an act of God. 

In the kingdom of the lotus of the heart 

Love chanting its pure hymeneal hymn 

Made life and body mirrors of sacred joy 

And all the emotions gave themselves to God.

In the navel lotus' broad imperial range 

Its proud ambitions and its master lusts 

Were tamed into instruments of a great calm sway 

To do a work of God on earthly soil. 

Savitri Sri Aurobindo p-529, 530

Aphorism

 

Aphorism - 138

*

138—The force of soul in thee meeting the same force from outside cannot harmonise the measures of the contact in values of mind-experience and body-experience; therefore thou hast pain, grief or uneasiness. If thou canst learn to adjust the replies of the force in thyself to the questions of world-force, thou shalt find pain becoming pleasurable or turning into pure delightfulness. Right relation is the condition of blissfulness, Ritam1 the key of Ananda.2

Human beings are in the habit of basing their relationships with others on physical, vital and mental contacts; that is why there is almost always discord and suffering. If, on the contrary, they based their relationships on psychic contacts (between soul and soul), they would find that behind the troubled appearances there is a profound and lasting harmony which can express itself in all the activities of life and cause disorder and suffering to be replaced by peace and bliss.

1 Right; Truth of knowledge and action.

2 Delight of existence.

On Thoughts and Aphorisms

Happy Ganesh Chaturthi

🌸Ganesha is the Power that removes obstacles by the force of Knowledge.

*  *  *  

Ganesha (among other things) is the Devata of spiritual Knowledge.

~Sri Aurobindo

(Letters on Yoga 2, p. 377-378)🌸

You see, this is how it happened: there's this Ganesh ... We had a meditation (this was more than thirty years ago) in the room where 'Prosperity' is now distributed. There were eight or ten of us, I believe. We used to make sentences with flowers; I arranged the flowers, and each one made a sentence with the different flowers I had put there. And one day when the subject of prosperity or wealth came up, I thought (they always say that Ganesh is the god of money, of fortune, of the world's wealth), I thought, 'Isn't this whole story of the god with an elephant trunk merely a lot of human imagination?' Thereupon, we meditated. And who should I see walk in and park himself in front of me but a living being, absolutely alive and luminous, with a trunk that long ... and smiling! So then, in my meditation, I said, 'Ah! So it's true that you exist!' - 'Of course I exist! And you may ask me for whatever you wish, from a monetary standpoint, of course, and I will give it to you!'

So I asked. And for about ten years, it poured in, like this (gesture of torrents). It was incredible. I would ask, and at the next Darshan, or a month or several days later, depending, there it was.

 15 ఆగస్టు మన దేశానికి స్వాతంత్ర్యం వచ్చిన రోజే కాదు,

ప్రఖర జాతీయవాది, విప్లవవీరుడు, భారతమాత దాస్య

శృంఖలాల విమెాచనం కోసం విప్లవ పంథాలో పోరాడి జైలుకు

వెళ్ళిన దేశభక్తుడు అరవిందఘోశ్ !!

నేడు ఆయన జన్మదినము కూడా !!

అఖంఢ భారతానికే స్వాతంత్ర్యం కావాల అని కోరుకున్న వ్యక్తి !

భారత దేశాన్ని భారతమాతగా , జగన్మాతృ స్వరూపంగా , 

ఆరాధన చేసి జగన్మాత ఉపాసకుడు !!

తరువాతి కాలంలో పాండిచ్చేరిలో ఆశ్రమాన్ని

ఆధ్యాత్మిక యెాగి " అరవింద " మహార్షి , ఆయన ఒక

గొప్ప తత్త్వవేత్త !! #ఆధ్యాత్మికగురువు !! 

ఆయన రచనలను ఆనాటి బ్రిటిషు ప్రభుత్వం ప్రచురించుకొనుటకు అనుమతి ఇవ్వలేదు !!

వారు చెప్పిన కారణం !! ఆయన అఖంఢ భారతాన్ని 

ఆహ్వాహనచేస్తున్నాడు !! 

దేశాన్ని జగన్మాతగా ఆరాధిస్తున్నాడు అని !!

ఆయన వ్రాసిన " సావిత్రి " గ్రంథం మహోన్నతమైనది !!

భారతీయులకే  కాదు విశ్వజనులందరికీ  ఆయన ఆరాధనీయుడు !!

వారి జన్మదిన సంధర్భంగా పుష్పాంజలి ఘటిద్దాం !! #జయహోభారత్!!
