OM Sri Aurobindo Mira

Open my mind, my heart, my life to your Light, your Love, your Power. In all things may I see the Divine.

16-7-1938

Note: This was given by Sri Aurobindo to a sadhak who had asked him for a brief prayer with Sri Aurobindo’s and the Mother’s names to use as a mantra. While giving it, Sri Aurobindo wrote:

“I have written for you a brief prayer with the names in the form of a mantra. I hope it will help you to overcome your difficulty and get an inner foundation.” (16-7-1938)

On receiving the mantra the sadhak inquired:

“Have I to consider the names and the prayer as one mantra?”

Sri Aurobindo replied: “Yes”. (18-7-1938)
