She The Supreme

Forward, for ever forward! At the end of the tunnel is the light… At the end of the fight is the victory! The Mother

Do not indulge in such ridiculous ideas. "Madness" and "hell" and "dark cell" are all in your imagination. You had better replace them by the sense of my love and blessings. The Mother 9 October 1937

All veils must be dissolved and the light must shine fully in the hearts of all. ✨ The Mother 24 June 1954 🪔 🪔 🪔 🪔 🪔

Man is a mental being and cannot come from the vital, although part of him may live in the vital plane or rather in connection with it. Most men in fact live much in the vital and therefore when they practise sadhana it is first in the vital plane that they find themselves, in dreams, experiences etc. When the supramental opens then something will descend from the supramental in each as he becomes ready and forms a supramental Purusha in him. What he is now, cannot limit what he will become. Sri Aurobindo

A vital life, “a little higher than the animals” because of some play of mind, with death as its answer is all that human existence is as it is ordinarily envisaged. And yet there is an aspiration for something more,—but the religions take hold of it and canalise it into something pointless for life and things remain as they are. Only a few indeed get beyond this limit. The “after all”1 is indeed only an excuse. Nobody can become more than human if he refuses to make a sacrifice of his ego—for “human” means a vital animal ego mentalised by a little outward thought and knowledge. So long as one is satisfied with remaining that, one will remain human “even here” or anywhere. Sri Aurobindo 1 “After all we are human—we have not become gods.”

Nothing happens without a reason. The reason for victory is force. By what force does the weaker side win and the mightier side lose or is destroyed? By examining historical examples we shall see that this strange thing or miracle has happened because of spiritual power, it is spiritual power, which, without caring for physical force, tells mankind that this world is God’s kingdom, and not the playground of a blind mechanical nature. The pure spirit is the source of true strength, and the original Puissance, ādyāprakṛti, which moves a billion suns in the sky, and by a mere turning of its finger shaking the earth destroys all traces of the earlier splendours created by human effort, that original Puissance is controlled by the pure spirit. That Puissance can make the impossible possible, give voice to the dumb, provide the lame with the power to cross mountains. The whole world is a creation of that power, śakti. One whose spiritual powers are developed, his instruments of victory are forged of themselves, the difficulties get removed and favourable conditions are created, the ability to work grows of itself, becomes quick and energetic.
