\n1<\/font><\/sup> Sri Aurobindo wrote this mantra around 1927 as one of several miscellaneous notations connected with <\/font><\/i>Record of
\nYoga. See <\/i>Record of Yoga, volume 11 of <\/i>T<\/font>HE<\/font> C<\/font>OMPLETE<\/font> W<\/font>ORKS OF<\/font> S<\/font>RI<\/font> A<\/font>UROBINDO<\/font>, <\/font>page 1352. Note that he did not complete the transliteration in Latin
\nscript. The text was first published as a message in November 1955. Still later the Mother completed the transliteration in her own hand; see the facsimile below. \u2014Ed.<\/font><\/i><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\n2 One of Sri Aurobindo’s disciples wrote this quotation from the <\/i>Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (1.3.28) in his notebook. Below it Sri Aurobindo wrote <\/i>[] (tathastu): "So be it!" \u2014Ed.<\/i><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\nIn 1935 I asked for a mantra and you suggested that I could take any combination of your name with the Mother’s and make of it a mantra. Accordingly I submitted the combination "OM Sri Mira Sri Arvindaya Namah" for your sanction, and you gave it. I have tried this combination for some time now, but I feel like asking for another combination of your names with some
\naspiration or
\nprayer joined to them so that it might become a sort of constant aspiration or prayer in course of time, or at least so that it will demand Some concentration and not become something mechanical. besides, I feel that if you would kindly make a combination for me I shall have more faith in it.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\nI have written for you a brief prayer with the names in the form of a mantra. I hope it will help you to overcome your difficulty and get an inner foundation.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\nOM Sri Aurobindo Mira<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\nOpen my mind, my heart, my life<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\nto your Light, your Love, your Power In all<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\nthings may I see the Divine       <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\nI feel very grateful for the mantra and the prayer. Especially the last line of the prayer \u2014 "In all things may I see the Divine" \u2014 has made me very glad since it expresses my very own deepest aspiration to which I have been partial for many years. Have I to consider the names and the prayer as one mantra?<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\nLet my Peace be always with you. Let your mind be calm and open; let your vital nature be calm and responsive; let your physical consciousness be a quiet and exact instrument, calm in action and in silence. Let there be my Light and Power and Peace upon you; let there be ever Power and Light and Peace.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\nIn sleep as in waking let me feel in me always the reality of your presence.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\nLet it sustain and make to grow in me Truth, consciousness and bliss constantly and at all times.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n
