PRAYER
\nAND CALLING THE DIVINE<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>The whole
\nof our life should be a prayer offered to the Divine. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Integral
\nprayer: the whole being is concentrated in a single prayer to the Divine. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>When coming
\nout of sleep you must keep quiet for a few moments and consecrate the coming
\nday to the Divine, praying to remember Him always and in all circumstances. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Before
\ngoing to sleep you must concentrate for a few minutes, look into the day that
\nhas passed, remember when and where you have forgotten the Divine, and pray
\nthat such forgettings<\/span> should not happen again. <\/span><\/p>\n

31 August 1953<\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>When waking
\nup every morning, let us pray for a day of complete consecration. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>All sincere

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>We ought to
\nbe in a constant state of aspiration, but when we cannot aspire let us pray
\nwith the simplicity of a child. <\/span><\/p>\n

25 July 1954<\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>We pray

\nour ignorance, illumine our minds. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>It is never
\nin vain that an ardent and sincere prayer is addressed to the Divine\u2019s Grace. <\/span><\/p>\n

19 December 1954<\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>The Supreme

Sri Aurobindo<\/span> says in one letter: <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u201cAll prayer rightly offered brings us closer
\nto the Divine and establishes right relation with him.\u201d <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>What is meant by \u201crightly offered\u201d in this
\nletter? Will You please elucidate? <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

With humility and sincerity. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>It goes
\nwithout saying that all bargaining spirit is an insincerity that takes away all
\nvalue from the prayer. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Give us faith in a glorious future and the

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Lord, deliver us from falsehood, make us

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>O Marvellous<\/span>

\nvibrant, our trust always more absolute. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Supreme Lord, teach us to be silent so

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Lord, Supreme Truth, <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>We aspire to know Thee and to serve Thee. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Help us to become children worthy of Thee.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>And for this, make us conscious of Thy
\nconstant gifts so that gratitude may fill our hearts and govern our lives. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Lord, Thy Love is so great, so noble and
\nso pure that it is beyond our comprehension. It is immeasurable and infinite:
\non bended knees we must receive it, and yet Thou hast made it so sweet that
\neven the weakest among us, even a child, can approach Thee. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Lord, God of Beauty and Harmony, <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Grant that we may become instruments
\nworthy of manifesting Thy supreme beauty in the world. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>This is our prayer and our aspiration. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>O Supreme Reality, grant that we may live

\nto us. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Sweet Mother, grant that we may simply be,

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Here, each one represents an impossibility
\nto be solved; but since for Thy Divine Grace, O Lord, all is possible, will not
\nThy work be, in the detail as in the whole, the accomplishment of all these
\nimpossibilities transformed into divine Realisations<\/span>?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>O my sweet Master, Thou art the conqueror

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Quiet all violence, let Thy love reign. <\/span><\/p>\n

13 April 1954<\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>O Lord, let Thy will be done. Thou art the
\nsupreme and perfect protection. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>O my Lord, with your help and grace what
\nis there to fear ! <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>You are the supreme protection that
\ndefeats all the enemies. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>O my Lord, Thy protection is all powerful.
\nIt defeats every enemy. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>To see Thy Victory in all circumstances is
\ncertainly the best way of helping It to come. <\/span><\/p>\n

Addressed to the One Supreme Lord<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>There is no other sin, no other vice than

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Lord, without Thee life is a monstrosity. Without
\nThy Light, Thy Consciousness, Thy Beauty and Thy Force, all existence is a
\nsinister and grotesque comedy. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>O Lord, in the depths of all that is, of

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Recueillie<\/span><\/span><\/i> <\/i>− collecting from all sides and concentrating in a religious way.
\nIn this prayer, at first the thought is in full peace and the heart is
\ncollected and concentrated in adoration, and the next time it is the head that
\nis full of adoration and the heart is silent and full of peace. <\/span><\/p>\n

(About the Mother\u2019s prayer of <\/i><\/span>3 September 1919\u00b2<\/span><\/i>)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

In this prayer it
\nis the Universal Mother in the form of material, terrestrial Nature who is
\nspeaking. The meal is the world that she has brought out of the Inconscient<\/span> by the process of evolution. She wanted to make
\nman the summit of this evolution, the ruler of this world. Throughout the ages
\nshe has waited, hoping that man would become fit to fulfil<\/span>
\nhis role and give the divine realisation<\/span> to the
\nworld. But man was so unfit that he was not even willing to submit to the
\nconditions needed to prepare himself for the task, and material Nature, finally
\nconvinced that she was on the wrong track, turned directly to the Divine and
\nasked Him to take possession of this world that had been prepared for the
\ndivine realisation<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>With this key, the rest is

In short I might
\nsay that \u201cR\u00e9alisation<\/i><\/span> Supr\u00eame<\/span><\/i>\u201d for

\nupon earth the advent of the Supramental<\/span>, the new
\ncreation. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Do not treat this as a dogma, but only<\/i> as an explanation and \u201cR\u00e9alisateur<\/i><\/span>\u201d is

\nact. <\/span><\/p>\n
