Part VI: Remarks and Observations of the Mother

Remarks and Observations of the Mother

Keep faith and confidence and remain cheerful.

*

Be sincere and I am ready to correct your mistakes a thousand times if necessary.

*

The best way of helping is to let the consciousness that has come down upon earth work in you for transformation.

*

If in the work you meet with some difficulties, look sincerely into yourself and there you will discover their origin.

*

The path is long, but self-surrender makes it short; the way is difficult, but perfect trust makes it easy.

*

The idea that women should cook for males is against my principles. Are they slaves?

*

To medical knowledge and experience, add full faith in the Divine’s Grace and your healing capacity will have no limits.

*

The Mother is always ready to welcome the child, whatever fault the child may have committed.

*

In the integral yoga there is no distinction between the sadhana and the outward life; it is in each and every movement of the daily life that the Truth must be found and practised.

*

Mind is so lazy that it wants convenient answers. But it is not like that. Each one is different.

*

Tiredness shows lack of will for progress. When you feel tired or fatigued that is lack of will for progress.

Fire is always burning in you.

*

How can I give wise advice to foolish people?

*

Threw this apparent chaos a new and better order is being formed. But to see it, one must have faith in the Divine Grace. Cheer up.

*

Give yourself entirely to the Divine and you will see the end of all your troubles.

*

Things are not so bad as you think.

*

Joy comes when you take the right attitude.

*

We invoke the solar light, symbol of the Supreme Lord to give us the Light of Truth.

*

One drop of truth is worth more than an ocean of false information.

*

Let this house be a symbol of the psychic, the temple of the eternal divine Presence.

*

Say – “I have received his Grace: I must be worthy of it” and then all will be well.

*

I do not like that the word love should be polluted to speak of sexual desire, the human inheritance of the animal.

*

In nice there is pleasantness, but good is good and can be without pleasantness.

*

We are expected to give to the world an example of better life but surely not of misbehaviour.

*

Each sadhak must remember that he is not alone. As far as possible I am trying to give satisfaction to everybody and to give answers to reasonable questions whenever it is necessary.

*

Ugly thoughts bring ugly feelings – ugly feelings take you away from the Divine and throw you defenceless in the arms of the devil who wants only to swallow you – and that is the source of endless sorrow and suffering.

*

In the human beings along with the growth of the mental activities grows the subtlety of self-deception. The more they are intellectual the more they are, in their self-deception, completely candid and insincere at the same time.

*

On the path of Truth in order to know more you must put in practice what you already know. A little bit of sincere practice is worth much more than a lot of written or spoken words.

*

Talk as little as possible.

Work as much as you can.

*

Get out of your mind to have the true intelligence.

Get out of your sensations to have the true feelings.

Get out of your sensitiveness to have the true dynamism.

*

Timidity is a form of vanity. When you are timid it means that you attach more importance to the opinion others have of you than to the sincerity of your action.

*

It is jealousy, selfish unsatisfaction and hurt vanity that open the doors of the consciousness to the hostile attacks by pulling out of the Divine’s protection.

It is only by refusing to allow these wrong movements to take place in oneself that one can hope of getting rid of the adverse influence and its disastrous effects.

*

Never keep company with those who follow muddy tracks for it is your own companions who will smirch you.

*

Do not let yourself be deceived. Stand firm in your resolution.

*

For the mind – knowledge

For the heart – love and joy

For the life – power

For the matter – beauty.

*

She will fight until there are no more anti-divine forces upon earth.

*

Teach us to be really sincere in our effort towards the Truth.

*

Let your life be a sincere search for the Truth and it will be worth living.

*

Be ever one-pointed in your surrender and sincere in your aspiration and you will constantly feel the presence of the Divine’s help and guidance.

*

Among human beings, the most widely spread disease is mental narrowness. They can understand only what they think or feel and cannot tolerate the rest.

*

To realise a progressive truth, theories must be remoulded according to practice and not practice made to suit the theories.

*

To be truly a good wife is almost as difficult as to be a true disciple.

*

Sincere devotion is much more effective than the Ganges water.

*

Whatever circumstance is given to you, make the best use of it in line with the Truth; to take advantage of it is quite different. All success depends upon the measure of your truth.

*

A hero fears nothing, complains of nothing and never gives way.

*

Absolute sincerity is required. No self-indulgence and no desire.

*

One must be without preferences and without desire to know the Divine’s will.

*

Psychic perfection means to smile at everything.

*

Superficial reactions are not desirable.

*

Encourage only what leads quickly to the Lord and serves His divine purpose.

*

Sri Aurobindo is always present. Be sincere and faithful, this is the first condition.

*

The ideal attitude is to belong only to the Divine, to work only for the Divine, and above all to expect only from the Divine strength, peace and satisfaction. The Divine is all-merciful and gives us all that we need to lead us as quickly as possible to the goal.

*

Those who are ready for the transformation can do it anywhere and those who are not ready cannot do it wherever they are.

*

Be sincere in your consecration.

*

Our best help is faith – The Divine is all merciful.

With love and blessings.

*

Have faith and unshaken confidence. The Divine Grace will do the rest.

*

Let his life be a strong, successful happy and powerful life at the service of the Divine.

*

Indeed he is happy who loves the Divine, because the Divine is always with him.

*

Do not confuse calm with inertia. Calm is self-possessed strength, quiet and conscious energy, mastery of the impulses, control over the unconscious reflexes. In work, calm is the source of efficiency and an indispensable condition for perfection.

*

If you do not wish to say something which is true, instead of lying just keep silent.

*

There is a great strength in the power to keep silent.

*

Do not attach undue importance to unimportant things.

*

Collaboration does not mean that everybody should do the will of the man who asks for it. True collaboration is a non-egoistic union of all personal efforts to express and realise the Divine’s Will.

*

Things must be asked for only when truly needed.

*

The Ashram is meant for those who want to consecrate their lives to the Divine.

*

There is a supreme Consciousness. We want to manifest this Divine Consciousness in the physical life.

*

The habit of always furnishing in presence of a mistake a favourable explanation – this favourable explanation seems to jump out from the mind spontaneously and automatically – trying to obviate any sincere recognition of the error.

*

It is amusement to deceive others.

*

The Centre has been conceived

The Centre is ready to be born

The Centre will grow into a powerful and efficient entity.

Bienvenue et succès

*

1) The Divine alone is true – all the rest is falsehood.

2) The Divine alone is real – all the rest is illusion.

3) The Divine alone is life – all the rest belongs to the kingdom of death.

4) The Divine alone is light – all the rest is semi-obscurity.

5) The Divine alone is love – all the rest is selfish sentimentality.

*

Man must understand that in spite of all his intellectual achievements he is as incapable of perceiving the supramental vibrations as the animal was incapable of perceiving the mental vibrations when they pervaded the earth before the appearance of the human species.

*

The Ideal Attitude

A benevolent good will towards all worshippers.

An enlightened indifference towards all religions.

*

You cannot expect anybody to be perfect unless you are perfect yourself. And to be perfect means to be exactly as the Lord wants you to be.

*

Pray to the Divine Grace to make you do always the right thing in the right way.

*

The mind, the life and the body must become and live what the Soul knows and is.

*

Leave all care to the Divine’s Grace, including your progress, and you will be in peace.

*

Wherever is our body, if we concentrate in our heart on the Lord, there He is with us.

*

What you seek is always there ready for you. Let the psychic turn grow complete and it will of itself bring you to that for which you aspire.

*

Whenever, in your life, you meet with a hardship take it as a boon from the Divine’s Grace and it will become so.

*

Learn how to part with what was in order to receive what has come. Some people are truly greedy… they are never satisfied. The more you give them, the more they ask. And they would find it quite natural if the Divine were exclusively busy with them and nothing else.

*

Do not be greedy… be satisfied with what is given to you and grateful also for what is given without grumbling because you are not given still more.

*

My love is always with you. Have faith in it and you will cure.

*

With simple sincerity offer your vital being to the Divine and the realisation will begin.
