Abolition of the animal and of the ego in us
Anyone who has a clear aspiration to belong to the future divine race or a more illumined race has clearly come on earth to fulfill the mission. The yoga of the Mother and Sri Aurobindo is truly meant for them. When one has such an aspiration, the understanding of their sacred writings becomes a constant source of luminous revelation. One also finds in them the answer to one's deepest quest.
But their yoga is very difficult. The development of education in all civilisations has been an attempt to refine and confine the animal activities and tendencies inherent in man. But the mind cannot really transform the animal in man. To some extent it can refine and chain it with ethical, moral, social, penal, religious, political codes but invariably the control breaks down. In other words the animal triumphs. How can this situation be remedied? We must have access to a power superior to mind, to a consciousness which is victorious which has a transmuring effect on animality, on the normal nature of man and his activities.
But there is an important question. How far are we willing to forego our humanity? Can we accept as a goal worthy of pursuit the prospect of complete abstinence from sex activities, complete abolition of the idea of race, family, religion, nationality in an inner detachment and above all are we willing to submit to a discipline which seems to be almost a total negation of our self-existence and personality? Are we willing to get completely abolished without distinction, without having a separate existence in the Divine Reality? Are we ready to forego our will and obey a superior luminous Will and wait upon the Supreme Will only?
These are a few questions which one has to consider very seriously and observe if there is any acceptance of such possibilities in oneself at least as basic principles to start with. We have to see whether we an accept the total abolition of the animal in us and of the ego as an eventuality, though naturally that would take a long, long time
On Suffering
The suffering is an inseparable intrinsic attribute and substance of the normal human consciousness. That is to say, as long as we are human with the human consciousness, the suffering is inevitable. The suffering is the inevitable result and consequence of all our inferior human attributes, qualities, actions and of unillumined movements of mental and vital consciousness. Desires, search and satisfaction of sensual pleasures, greed, jealousy, ambition, cruelty, violence , all these elements are natural attributes of the human consciousness and they cannot be eliminated or suppressed, or controlled by mental and vital efforts alone.. They might be refined and controlled by high spiritual powers but not eliminated
Only the Grace of the Mother Divine, the supramental consciousness, the divine consciousness has the absolute power of transmuting them into its own substance of force, delight and oneness. True happiness, delight, ananda is an attribute, an intrinsic dynamic principle and substance of the spiritual and divine consciousness.

On Beauty
Spiritually, beauty has a purifying, tranquilising, curative effect on human beings;
Beauty in its sublime form can awaken and set aflame an aspiring soul
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
Endless symphonies drop, in a mad speed,
Dying harmonies welcome young rhapsodies.
God advances in giant steps
Yesterday falls in the Nothingness.
Dawn is born with a new face more seducing everyday.
To morrow waits in the wings, impatient.
Past remains still as a strong aroma hanging on the decor of a museum.
My soul dazzled with the long swells coming from the unknown
Allows 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 the Mystery.
Today is fainting in the enticing embrace of the night which.
The dawn will return tomorrow with her moving surprises.
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.
The fire burning
The moment one feels
A fire burning haevenwards in oneself,
The divine destiny is inevitably fixed.
paintings - the lord
Le Pouvoir Tranquille - The tranquill Power
The Voice we dream
Let us follow the Voice we dream.
When we have confidence in Her,
The Mother leads us by the hand.
The future desappears
Into an attractive unexplored Mystery
The enchanted track
There is only She.
The soul does not look for rest,
But enticed, irresistibly drunk,
She dashes on the enchanted track
Of the Eternal Mother
The Magic Circle
Step for a moment in a magic circle of dream and reality
Where all is joy and peace, harmony and an unbroken song of Eternity.
Behind the mask and beyond the mind,
That is Reality
