She is all

A low murmur of eternal truths fills my ears
I feel the caress of thy hands in every whiff of the wind ,
I lie in a swoon of felicity
O Mother remain here, be with us forever

The Mother replied

My child, I do not come nor I go away
I am eternal, infinite and always trying to fathom my own depths
There is no one else but myself here or anywhere
I am all.
This world is only my fanciful play,
Each being, each creature sees a different world
For I see through them with different lens.
Each one has his alloted share of joy
But I alone enjoy all the experiences

These are all whims of my consciousness
I fancy and I become my dream

The perpetual change

All the barriers, the frontiers burst,
My consciousness has become a free field without border.
The limits of my existence disappear in a living infinity
There is nobody, nothing separated from me...

Uncountable images...
Thousand reflexions of a broken Sun dance on waves.
Everything changes, everything moves, nothing is stable even for a moment.
In a mad speed, endless symphonies welcome young rhapsodies.

God advances in giant steps. Yesterday falls in Nothingness.
Dawn is born with a new face more seducing every day.
Tomorrow waits in the wings impatient.
Past remains still as a strong aroma hanging in the decor of a museum.

My soul dazzled with long swells coming from the Unknown
Allowed itself to be rocked in a total abandon to the Divine Will.
Everything changes, everything moves, nothing is stable.
Yesterday is gone forever, gobbled up in Mystery.
Today is fainting in the embrace of the secret Night
The dawn will return tomorrow with its moving surprise.

O my soul, welcome your faithful love
Who returns with a still new, different face.
Immobile Reality,
You are the infaillible constant Presence
O Mother Divine
Magnificent, always smiling Mother.

Transformation: poem by Sri Aurobindo

My breath runs in a subtle rhytmic stream;
It fills my members with a might divine:
I have drunk the Infinite like a giant's wine,
Time is my drama or my pageant dream.
Now are my illumined cells joy's flaming scheme
And changed my thrilled and branching nerves to fine
Channels of rapture opal and hyaline
For the influx of the Unknown and the Supreme.

I am no more a vassal of the flesh,
A slave to Nature and her leaden rule;
I am caught no more in the sense's narrow mesh.
My soul unhorizonned widens to measureless sight,
My body is God's happy living tool,
My spirit a vast sun of deathless light.


Mother Divine, shine day and night in the sky of our soul

The  unique Mother presses in Her arms the whole world with an infinite tenderness.
All human beings, all without exception are Her children.
The material universe vanishes, revealing the magnificence of Brahma.
She prepares bodies and souls to manifest the Divine Love.

A complete self sacrifice to the Mother of our past, present and future
Is the only means to climb the steep walk which leads
the soul to  the luminous eternal Truth.

O Mother Divine, shine day and night in the sky of our soul.
Peace, peace, joy, harmony and beauty in all hearts
The long painful night ends.   A magnificent world is born.

You are the Supreme, our soul,
The Road, the Yoga and the Realisation

The Power of the Supreme Grace

The Grace is the Supreme Mother of love and compassion, absolute wisdom ,invincible and effective power of transformation.

There is a universal action of grace which is constant, impartial and helps the being, the race, the world in a general way . The Mother of Grace on various level, in various forms, is constantly intervening with Her compassion and leading all of us, the whole universe,  towards the highest and perfect divine manifestartione . The Mother has mentionned that the Lord is always blessing.

 But the Supreme Grace intervenes  in the life of the aspirants who aspire for the Supreme . It is so marvellous that if we call upon the highest form of Grace with faith and confidence, then She takes over our entire life inside and outside and begins  the unimaginable work of transformation. When this power is revealed to us even once in a flash our whole life undergoes an irrevocable, lightning transformation. Having seen Her once, we become aware  that whatever She does, She does for th highest good of the individual, the group, the universe. Each act  of Her's is a benediction. There is no wrong , improper or untrue action possible by Her .When we have the true union with the Divine we do enter a state of consciousness where all is peace, eternal harmony,  where we perceive at each instant the supreme benediction, the supreme good.  When we can touch such a state then there are no enemies, no dualities no one except the Divine.

 When we begin to feel that truly we are absolutely nothing, helpless and utterly ignorant, when we feel the true humility, then the splendor of the divine Grace is revealed to us. From then on nothing else can satisfy us except Her constant  Presence and her intimate tenderness.

What is true divine work

To work for Thy victory is our sole mission on earth.

Thy victory over ignorance, darkness and the deep-rooted evil in us, in the earth nature
by replacing all the undivine forces and influences in our being down to the very cells of the body
with the divine consciousness , the direct presence, peace, harmony, love, beauty
and indivisible oneness of the eternal Being

Thy help is there in the fullest measure for achieving this goal

O Mother Divine

May we work with a luminous inspired consciousness 
And a total faith in Thy victory
May we become pure and simple instruments.

A particular Path

The courageous soul
the persevering soul

There were two children much loved by their Mother,
A Mother protecting them against all odds, against all.

Two terrible children
whom an attentive Mother often scolded to prevent them from going astray,
and very often gave a firm, well-placed slap, strongly felt to keep them from falling.

A Mother who transformed the flame in their hearts  into a burning fire.

They walked for a long time on a tightrope,
pushed by the intransigent ardor of an unleashed Mahakali,
And entered, mesmerized, into the enchanted world of radiant beauty and etenal Love

Then, one of the children began to run, far, far ahead, always further,
always higher, arms stretched toward the Mystery,
and disappeared into the Light deep within the Mother’s heart.

The other child continues to walk slowly, striving to follow the path laid out,
always accompanied by the burning ardor of Mahakali

The infinitesimal Infinite- poem by Sri Aurobindo

The infinitesimal Infinite

Out of a still Immensity all came!
These millions universes were to it
The poor light-bubbles of a trivial game,
A fragile glimmer in the Infinite.

It could not find its soul in all that vast:
It drew itself into a tiny speck
Infinitesimal, ignobly cast
Out of the earth's mud and slime strangely awake,

A tiny plasm on a little globe
In the small system of a dwarflike sun,
A little life wearing the flesh for robe,
A little mind winged through wide space to run!

It lived, it knew, it saw its self sublime,
Deathless, outmeasuring Space, outlasting Time.

 


Sharanagata

The meaning of surrender is becoming clear in my consciousness.

When in a sacred moment of rising aspiration we throw ourselves at Your lotus feet
offering all our life, all we are, our past, present and future
and take refuge exclusively in You,

rely and depend on You alone
and leave everything to You without any demand,

willing to accept whatever comes from You or is taken away from us,
ready to serve You in any way You want,

when we become a docile, vibrant instrument in Your hands,
then only we realise  the profound significance of surrender - Sharanagata -
one who  has taken refuge in the Divine Mother, the Supreme.

This surrender is progressive.
The aspiring soul is progressively possessed by the divine consciousness
An integral surrender will necessarily l
lead to identification with the divine consciousness.


Whatever is given to the Divine is transmuted and possessed by Him


Finally the Divine alone acts through the instrument
in order to further develop the divine life on earth.

some words from Sri Aurobindo - a veil behind the heart.....

 

A veil behind the heart,  a lid over the mind

Divide us from the Divine

Love and devotion rend the veil

In the quietude of the mind the lid thins and vanishes
