Transformation and the Supramental  

TRANSFORMATION

 

 

 

            There is a Supreme Divine Consciousness. We want to manifest this Divine Consciousness in the physical life.

                                                                                                                                     Blessings.

 

            The goal is not to lose oneself in the Divine Consciousness. The goal is to let the Divine Consciousness penetrate into Matter and transform it.

 

            The Divine Consciousness is at work to transform you and you must open to it in order to let it work freely in you.

            Of all things the most difficult is to bring down the Divine Consciousness into the material world; must the endeavour be abandoned on that account? Surely not.

            You belong to this stage of spirituality that needs to reject matter and wants to escape from it. The spirituality of tomorrow will take up matter and transform it.

30 July 1965 

          True spirituality transforms life.

 

            After one year’s experience of the shallowness and inefficiency of human ways, it is time to start climbing on the steep way leading to the true goal, transformation.

 

            Transformation: the goal of creation.

 

            The new world: the result of transformation.  

Three Conditions

 

            A work that has terrestrial progress as its goal cannot be started unless it has the sanction and help of the Divine.

            It cannot endure unless there is a constant material growth which satisfies the will of Nature.

            It cannot be destroyed prematurely except by human ill-will, which then serves as an instrument of forces hostile to the Divine, which are striving to delay as much as possible His manifestation and the transformation of the earth.  

 

            One thing you must know and never forget: in the work of transformation all that is true and sincere will always be kept; only what is false and insincere will disappear.  

 

            Obscurity will disappear more and more as the transformation progresses.  

 

            Each one of you represents one of the difficulties that have to be surmounted for the transformation.

 

            Unless one has an endless patience and an unshakable perseverance, it is better not to start on the way of transformation.

 

            Let each suffering pave the way to transformation.

            Be quiet and gather strength and force not only to do work but also to achieve the transformation.

28 July 1955 

            Perfect integral balance: one is ready for transformation.

 

            The constant remembrance of the Divine is indispensable for transformation.

 

            Be simply sincere in your obedience to the Divine − this will take you far on the way to transformation.

 

            Silence all outside noise, aspire for the Divine’s help; open integrally to it then it comes and surrender to its action, and it will effectively bring about your transformation.

 

            With the Divine Love is the supreme power of Transformation.

 

            With the Divine’s Love is the power of Transformation. It has this power because it is for the sake of Transformation that it has given itself to the world and manifested everywhere. Not only into man but into all the atoms of Matter has it infused itself in order to bring the world back to the original Truth.

The moment you open to it, you receive also its power of Transformation. But it is not in terms of quantity that you can measure it − what is essential is the true contact; for you will find that the true contact with it is sufficient to fill at once the whole of your being.

 

            And when the day will come for the manifestation of the supreme Love, for the crystallised, concentrated descent of the supreme Love, that will indeed be the moment of Transformation. Because nothing will be able to resist That.

 

TRANSFORMATION AND THE PARTS OF THE BEING

 

Doesn’t transformation demand a very high degree of aspiration, surrender and receptivity?

 

Transformation demands a total and integral consecration. But isn’t this the aspiration of all sincere sadhaks?

            Total means vertically in all the states of being, from the most material to the most subtle.

            Integral means horizontally in all the different and often contradictory parts which constitute the outer being, physical, vital and mental.

 

            The being organised around the psychic: the first stage of transformation.

            Mental opening: the first step of the mind towards transformation.

           

            Mental prayer: spontaneous in a mind aspiring for transformation.

 

            Thirst to understand: very useful for transformation.

 

            Honesty in the physical mind: preliminary indispensable condition for transformation.

 

            Integral offering of the vital: an important stage towards transformation.

 

            Renunciation of emotional desires: indispensable for transformation.

 

            Not only the mind and the vital, but the body also in all its cells must aspire for the divine transformation.

            Physical plasticity: one of the important conditions of the transformation.

 

            Let the physical offer itself sincerely to the Divine and it will be transformed. This is proof of the resolution to liberate oneself from the ego.

 

            Humility before the Divine in the physical nature: first attitude needed for transformation.

 

            Psychic light in the physical movements: the first step towards the transformation of the physical.

 

            Psychic light in the material movements: essential condition for transformation.

 

            Psychic awakening in matter: matter open to spiritual life.

 

            Matter under the supramental guidance: the condition required for its transformation.

            Supramental light in the subconscient: essential condition for transformation.

 

           Supramental influence in the subconscient: under its modest appearance it is a great force for transformation.

 

            Transformation is the change by which all the elements, and all the movements of the being become ready to manifest the supramental Truth.
