MESSAGES FOR SRI AUROBINDO’S ARRIVAL IN

PONDICHERRY

 

4 APRIL 1910

 

1950 

      Be sincere, always sincere, more and more sincere.

      Sincerity exacts from each one that in his thoughts, his feelings, his sensations and his actions he should express nothing but the central truth of his being.

 

1951

A new Light shall break upon the earth, a new world shall be born: the things that were promised shall be fulfilled.

 

1958

 

 

      The descending triangle represents Sat-Chit-Ananda.

     

The ascending triangle represents the aspiring answer from matter under the form of life, light and love.

      The junction of both − the central square − is the perfect manifestation having at its centre the Avatar of the Supreme − the lotus.

      The water − inside the square − represents the multiplicity, the creation.

 1962

 

 Physically, materially, upon earth, it is in gratitude that one finds the source of the purest delight.

 

PUJA MESSAGES

 

LAKSHMI PUJA 1955

 

      Mother divine, thou art with us, each day thou givest me the assurance, and closely united in an identification which grows more and more integral, more and more constant, we turn to the Lord of the universe and to That which is beyond in a great aspiration towards the new Light.

 31 October 1955

 

KALI PUJA 1955

 

An Old Chaldean Legend

 

      Long, long ago, in the dry land which is now Arabia, a divine being incarnated upon earth to awaken in it the supreme love. As expected it was persecuted by men, misunderstood, suspected, pursued. Mortally wounded by its assailants, it wanted to die quietly in solitude in order to be able to accomplish its work, and being pursued, it ran away. Suddenly, in the vast desert land there appeared a small pomegranate bush. The saviour crept in under the low branches, to leave its body in peace; and immediately the bush spread out miraculously, it grew higher, larger, became deep and thick, so that when the pursuers

 Page - 206


 passed by, they did not even suspect that the One whom they were chasing was hidden there, and they went their way.

      While drop by drop the sacred blood fell, fertilising the soil, the bush was covered with marvellous flowers, scarlet, large, crowded with petals…innumerable drops of blood.

These are the flowers which express and contain for us the Divine’s Love.

 14 November 1955 

DURGA PUJA 1957

MAHASHTAMI

 

To express our gratitude to Sri Aurobindo we can do nothing better than to be a living demonstration of his teaching.

 30 September 1957  

DURGA PUJA 1957

VIJAYA DASHAMI: VICTORY DAY

 

For those who use their physical eyes alone, the victory will be apparent only when it is total, that is to say, physical.

2 October 1957  

COMMENTS ON PUJA DAYS

 

       (Durga Puja 1953, Victory Day)

 

Today was truly a day of victory, victory over all that yet remained human in the physical consciousness.

O Nature, I bring to thee force and light, truth and power; it is for thee to receive and utilise them. It is thou who wilt be

  Page - 207


 receptive in the fruit of thy creation, man, and open the doors of his understanding; it is thou who wilt give him the energy of progress and the will of transformation; and, above all, it is thou who wilt make him accept the Presence and aspire for Realisation.

18 October 1953

       (Durga Puja l954, Victory Day)

 

It is victory day; let it be a true victory of the Spirit over ignorance and falsehood.

 6 October 1954

      

        (Durga Puja 1955, Victory Day)

 

A verbal notation of the experience I transmitted during meditation.

      The annual battle and victory of Durga symbolise the rhythmic intervention of the Supreme Divine Consciousness that periodically gives a new impetus to the universal progress.

 26 October 1955

(About the “victory” referred to in the message for  Durga Puja 1957, Victory Day)

 

But this does not mean that it is not already won in principle.

 2 October 1957

 (Kali Puja 1959)

 

 We who have a common uplifting ideal, shall unite; and in this  

Page - 208


union and by this union we will face and overcome the attacks of all opposing forces of darkness and devastation. In union is the strength, in union is the power, in union the certitude of Victory.

Mother Kali will be with you on this day.

       The time has come for the rule of falsehood to end.

       In the Truth alone is salvation.  

 

1972

 

      We want to show to the world that man can become a true servitor of the Divine.

      Who will collaborate in all sincerity?

 

      Father Christmas,

      I evoke you today!

      Answer our call. Come bearing all your marvellous gifts. You are the great dispenser of worldly possessions; you are the untiring friend who hears every request and grants it generously. Give each one the material object he desires, and as for me, give me enough, give me much so that I may give largely to all.

 

(Significances of the gifts offered by the three Magi to Jesus at the time of his birth)

 

      Gold: wealth of the world and supramental knowledge.

      Frankincense: purification of the vital.

Myrrh: immortalisation of the body.
