A Love vast, impersonal
A Love vast, impersonal, omnipuissant penetrates all life on earth, and by its subtle penetrating rays increases light and power of the psychic elements in people and where there is a psychic being a little crystallized the penetrating rays of the Divine Love increase enormously the light and the divine consciousness and power in their inner being.

The Passing Note
O Master Magician, no artist can paint thy elusive face
No sculptor can carve thy silhouette, no one can bind thee in a hame.
Thou O ever unknown stanger, my soul, my love
This magic of unfolding creation is only Thyself.
My life a passing note, O supreme musician, of thy symphony
One, individual, inalterable, absolute, immobile, silence
Infinite rays, mobile fragments, perpetual motion, delight.
This stupendous Presence pervades immeasurably all existence
O Mother Divine in Thy eternity
I discover my continuity

L'Âme de Beauté
O Âme de Beauté, sur Toi repose une responsabilité lourde et sans prix. Il y a trop de souffrance trop de violence et cruauté, trop de cœurs brisés et des vies cassées, trop de misère et bassesse dans le monde. Read more
The Inner Attitude of Surrender
What is most important is the development of that inner attitude of surrender. True surrender is a state of consciousness - it does not mean that all our efforts and struggles are over and we work on the red carpet. It is a fundamental state of confidence in the Divine and an unconditional loyalty and faithfulness to the Divine, an anxious loving willingness to collaborate with the Divine and do only His Will. It is an awareness that the whole existence is a single movement, a single plan and project of the Divine's own manifestation. Whatever is permitted to happen only happens because that is seen as the necessary step in His all-wise vision. It is not so much important the work we do for our work will be completely decided by our inner inclinations, general propensities, and developing capacities and faculties. It is the attitude of the God-Lover, attitude of the faithful soldier to the Supreme Queen, attitude of the devoted disciple towards the supremely benevolent teacher, master, father, guide and friend. We should not rely on our own capacity and own strength - which is finally zero - but ask that Infinite, that Eternal, that unique Power, Mother to help us, to shape us, to remold us in her vision, for her service and her utility. Seen in this way by realising our non-existence, face to face with the Eternal and his Eternity, the Infinite with His infinity, the state of surrender becomes possible and real. The more we give ourselves to the Divine, the more we are possessed by his light, peace, joy, consciousness, and his mysterious. tangible Presence.
This is the work. The rest has no value if that cannot be a means for arriving at this realisation. When we undertake any work with this attitude, the work will be given to us and her guidance and love and presence will be undeniably always with us. The surrender is extremely difficult to achieve with the mind. To become simple, humble, throw away all pride. To be sincere, full of love and dignity for her sake and for Her. To forget the animal, forget even the humanity in us, in all. Just to be ready at every moment to fulfill her least desire, to be at her beck and call with a total self-forgetfulness, to love Her so that her interest and your interest have become identical, same, indivisible in love. This is the crown promised to us through playing with the Eternal Mother, living in her unveiled presence and radiance.

The vase of God
There is a dense veil in our consciousness which prevents us from seeing the existence in the true light. Our beginning is accidental, microscopic. We are really nothing but zero , yet we live in the illusion of a false capacity and power of our own. We are just a vase formed by the artist God in a fanciful moment for His delight. We are what we are only by His Grace. We shall be only what He has intended us to be. If we let go of the illusion of our personal authority and surrender to the Divine in a simple, humble way - "Thy will be done" then a loving and unerring Hand begins to organise our life and action. All the time we should be in a peaceful attitude of receptivity. Every time we do what we deeply feel as the right thing to do in the Presence of the Mother, we take a bound forward. Our capacity of discrimination constantly increases. Fear disappears. Since She is our Mother, She knows best what is good for us, and whatever She does for us is for our highest good. She is the best judge of what is good for us. So we must not burden Her with our unillumined demands and desires, but be content with whatever She gives us or decides for us. We must have confidence in the Mother. She is far, far above the human beings and their ignorant ways. She only wants to take us out of our dark, ignorant and painful consciousness.
When I am in the right consciousness, then I feel Her presence all around me,filling the earth and the sky, filling me with a profoundly sweet happiness. Nothing matters at that moment. Even death becomes unreal and meaningless. What a blessing if we could live always in that consciousness! I see how everything is bound to change. Nothing can stop this transformation. The Mother, that infinite sweetness and love, is our real substance. It is just a question of time. As soul after soul will be awakened by Her magic touch, a new race, a new earth will be born. We must forget our little, miserable, insignificant life, and become aware of the magnificent Glory that is eternally around us.
Let us allow That to penetrate us, purify us, prepare us as its instruments for Her manifestation. Our sole aspiration is to be as much as possible conscious of it; to be guided and moved by it as fully as possible. All our acts are a means of expressing our joy and gratitude to the Divine Mother.
Let us remain very peaceful and inwardly keep the fire burning

The creation of the divine race
I have understood, rather realised, something profoundly fundamental. It is the descent of the supramental consciousness which will create the divine race and the divine life on earth. It is the dynamic Truth Power of the Divine, now active on the earth which will manifest the divine consciousness in the souls long prepared by it in the course of evolution. The descent of the Supramental consciousness will naturally result in the manifestation of a supramental world on earth, just as the descent of the mental consciousness or the mind resulted in the manifestation of human beings. The human world will remain human with a possibility for perfection, but the main preoccupation of the Supramental Power is the transformation of the beings who are ready and not so much the salvation of humanity. These beings will naturally move away from the human society and try to gather islands of Light. There may be only a few islands in the beginning. We are only at the initial stage of the evolution. The Mother and Sri Aurobindo embodied the Supramental consciousness and made the descent possible. Throughout their life, they have helped and prepared many souls to receive the higher consciousness. They continue the work as the supreme Godheads of the Supramental manifestation. By a growing aspiration and an increasing surrender, we shall participate in the creation of a Supramental world on earth. The Divine will takes each aspiring soul to the destined place, It is the manifestation of a new divine world, not the transformation of the old human world.
A supramental being must descend in the soul just as a mental being descended in the evolved monkey. It is, in fact, the descent of the Mother in the aspiring souls which makes the manifestation of the life divine possible and inevitable. The descent of the Mother Power is gradual and its results are irreversible, and sooner or later the soul which has received the touch of Grace will rise out of humanity to his new found divinity. Our sole duty and work is to receive the descending rays and currents and forces of the Supramental Consciousness. Without this descent there is no transformation, no fundamental change. But in the beginning, the Power works for a long time behind the veil and as our aspiration becomes sincere and one pointed, the veil disappears and one can consciously feel the inflow of the Divine Power and Light. Gradually the Mother Force replaces our conscious effort and pours Herself more and more in the consecrated instrument.
From that point, our divine destiny is assured by the Supramental Mahashakti. We become witness of a vast miraculous process of transformation of the human consciousness into a radiant, limitless, infinite divine consciousness. We are in the arms of the Eternal Mother, never to be separated again. Her Presence fills every nook and corner of our life, every bit of the boundless ocean and sky forever. This is the magnificent destiny of every soul who aspires to be a true child of the Mother.

In Peace and Silence the Eternal manifests
Allow nothing to disturb you
And the Eternal will manifest.
No haste, no inquietude, no tension
And Thou art there without a doubt
For all becomes a Holy Peace
And a Sacred Silence.

On Religion and Yoga
Only a general spiritual awakening will bring unity of the race. Religion is not the same thing as the practice of yoga.The Yoga is a difficult spiritual discipline of long sustained effort to discover the eternal Reality, the Source and the Origin. All religions are founded on some aspect of that secret Reality and have helped many souls to break through the ironclad materialism, have sustained people everywhere to face with faith the tragedy of life. But religions have not succeeded in bringing fraternity among the nations and are powerless to transform the congenital animal nature of man and miserably failed to take the human race to the promised land. Religion is not so different from a political doctrine or a tribal creed. It is the glimmer of a firefly.
Yoga is the eternal Supreme Light. Yoga is the sublime urge of the human soul to unite with the Origin, the supreme Reality, the Absolute, the One in all beings and things. While the politicians and religious leaders struggle and fight to own the earth and impose their will on the poor humanity, the Supreme Power who shapes earth’s destiny in minute detail is at work to create a new divine race from this crude material. Nature is always on the move, cannot remain satisfied anymore with her half-baked product. She is glowing in anticipation of a new creation.

There is a Divine Power far above the mind of man,
Each creature is driven by an in-built inviolable law. Each man is driven by his nature, his double nature. He is a thinking animal, halfway between heaven and earth. His life is a constant tug of war between reason and passion.The animal in man is yet too strong for angels eager to save him. Mind cannot control, subdue or transform the animal.
There is a divine power far above the mind of man, There is a supreme Divinity sleeping in his mystic heart. Something marvelous, never known in the history of earth has happened. The barriers between mind and the Divine have been broken down by the incarnate dual powers of the One, Sri Aurobindo and the Mother Divine, Avatars of the Supermind. A supreme almighty Force is pouring down on earth from the transcendent sealed heavens above day and night.
Man does not decide the destiny of the earth or its evolution. In his blind arrogance he does not realise his nothingness,. He is only a momentary flicker of firefly, a stray spark. He will not become divine by his own effort at any time.
In the evolutionary march of life the great hour has come, wherever a fire of utter anguish and prayers burns high, The Mother Divine comes down in the soul in Her splendor and lifts the soul from the half-light of mind and reason, into vast luminous tracts of the eternal supermind.
The Iron Age of darkness, hatred, violence has come to a close. A new Sun that never sets has risen in the inner sky of earth. The Mother's love will transmute the race, even the soil of this earth, all forms, faces and figures will radiate a heavenly glow.The calyx of the heart will be filled with the liquid gold of Her sweetness. Life on earth will be a benediction for all.
Once you have seen Her face, you become Her adoring priest and slave.
