 <\/span><\/p>\n

\nSweet Mother, here Sri Aurobindo
\nwrites, \u201cFor all this first period he [the individual] has to work by means of
\nthe instruments of the lower Nature.\u201d <\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\nThe Synthesis of Yoga, p. 79<\/font><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

\nWhat is this work, and how is it
\naccomplished<\/span><\/i>? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

There is a positive side and a negative side to this work. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

The positive side is to increase
\none\u2019s aspiration, develop one\u2019s consciousness, unify one\u2019s being, to go within
\nin order to enter more and more into contact with one\u2019s psychic being; to take
\nup all the parts, all the movements, all the activities of one\u2019s being and put
\nthem before this psychic consciousness so that they fall into their true place
\nin relation to this centre; finally, to organise all one\u2019s aspiration towards
\nthe Divine and one\u2019s progress towards the Divine. That is the positive side. <\/span><\/p>\n

 At the same time the negative
\nside consists in refusing methodically and with discernment all the influences
\nwhich e from outside or from the subconscient or inconscient or from the
\nenvironment, and stand in the way of spiritual progress. One must discern these
\ninfluences, suggestions, impulses, and systematically refuse them without ever
\ngetting discouraged by their persistence and ever yielding to their will. One
\nmust, at the same time, observe clearly in one\u2019s being all its different
\nelements, obscure, egoistic, unconscious, or even ill-willed, which consciously
\nor otherwise, answer these bad influences, and allow them not only to penetrate
\ninto the consciousness, but sometimes to get settled there. That is the
\nnegative side. <\/span><\/p>\n

 Both must be practised at the
\nsame time. According to the moment, the occasion, the inner readiness, you must
\ninsist now on one, now on the other, but never forget either of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

 Generally, all progress made
\non one side is set off by an
\n <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\nPage – 22<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

attack of the adverse forces on the other. So, the more you
\nadvance, the more vigilant must you become. And the most essential quality is
\nperseverance, endurance, and a\u2026 what shall I call it?\u2013 a kind of inner good
\nhumour which helps you not to get discouraged, not to become sad, and to face
\nall difficulties with a smile. There is an English word which expresses this
\nvery well \u2014 cheerfulness. If you can keep this within you, you fight much
\nbetter, resist much better, in the light, these bad influences which try to
\nhinder you from progressing. <\/span><\/p>\n

 That is the work. It is vast
\nand complex. And one must never forget anything. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sweet Mother, \u201cThe Supreme has laid
\nhis luminous hand upon a chosen human vessel of his miraculous Light and Power
\nand Ananda.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\nIbid.,
\np. 81<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\nDoes the Supreme choose the being who will be his instrument, or
\ndoes the being choose\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>to bee his
\ninstrument?<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

You can take it as you like. <\/span><\/p>\n

 One can\u2019t tell who began! But
\nthe two usually take place at the same time. <\/span><\/p>\n

 If you want an order of
\npriority, it is evident that the Divine exists before the individual, so it
\nmust be the Divine who has chosen first! But that is a choice prior to
\nterrestrial life. In the order of the ordinary human consciousness it may be
\none or the other or both at the same time. In fact, it is likely that the
\nDivine is the first to notice that this or that being is ready! But he who is
\nready generally does not know it to begin with, so he has the impression that
\nit is he who has decided and is choosing. But this is more of an impression
\nthan a reality. <\/span><\/p>\n

And once you are chosen, it is
\nineluctable, you can\u2019t escape even if you try. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\nPage – 23<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nSweet Mother, here I would like an
\nexplanation: \u201cIn the last period there is no effort at all, no set method, no
\nfixed sadhana; the place of endeavour and tapasya will be taken by a natural,
\nsimple, powerful and happy disclosing of the flower of the Divine out of the
\nbud of a purified and perfected terrestrial nature.\u201d <\/span><\/i>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\nThe Synthesis of Yoga, p. 81<\/font><\/span><\/i><\/span> <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

It is in a poetic form. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

But what is it you don\u2019t
\nunderstand? Why he speaks about the bud and the flower? <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\nI am asking this because the bud
\nopens into a flower without any effort, but we have to make an effort, haven\u2019t
\nwe?<\/span><\/i><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

He says that this happens when one is ready; it is precisely to
\nmake you think \u201cbut the bud opens without effort\u201d; so, when the nature is
\nready, the same thing happens as with the bud. <\/span><\/p>\n

 \u201cEffort\u201d, I don\u2019t know what
\nwe call effort, it is not certain whether the plant makes an effort or not. And
\nin any case, it has an aspiration; plants grow because they aspire for the
\nlight, for the sun, for open air. <\/span><\/p>\n

 And it\u2019s a kind of petition.
\nIf one goes into a wood, for instance, into a park where there are many
\ndifferent plants, one can observe very clearly that there is a sort of petition
\namong plants to s each other and reach the light and open air above. It is
\nindeed quite wonderful to see. <\/span><\/p>\n

 Now, Sri Aurobindo means that
\nwhen one is well prepared and the nature is ready, then the last movement is like
\na spontaneous blossoming \u2014 it\u2019s no longer an effort, it\u2019s an answer. It is a
\ntruly divine action in the being: one is prepared and the moment has e, then
\nthe bud opens.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\nIs there an aspiration for growth
\nin children also, as there is in plants<\/span><\/i><\/span>?<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\nPage –
\n24<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

 Yes. Even, very often it is conscious: they want to be tall.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\nbeing tall or short Does it then
\ndepend upon their aspiration \u2014 their? <\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

At a particular time, yes. Indeed, I have known children who have
\ngrown tall because they had a very strong will to grow. <\/span><\/p>\n

 Yes, that has an effect even
\nwhen one is no longer quite a child. I have seen cases of people who grew
\ntaller even at twenty-five, so very anxious were they to grow tall. And I am
\nnot speaking of those who have practised physical culture, for that\u2019s
\ndifferent; with physical training one can considerably change one\u2019s body; I am
\njust speaking of an aspiration, an inner will. The body is sufficiently plastic
\ntill twenty-five. Later one must introduce more scientific methods, like
\nphysical culture; and if that is done wisely and methodically, one can obtain
\nwonderful results. But always, behind it, there must be a will, that is very
\nimportant; a kind of tenacious aspiration, a knowledge, or even a faith that
\none is not necessarily tied down by atavism. <\/span><\/p>\n

 For obviously, like plants,
\none is limited by the original seed, the species to which one belongs. But all
\nthe same there is a wide margin. For instance, I have very many times seen
\nchildren who were considerably taller than their parents, and had truly wanted
\nto be so. Of course, it was against a certain resistance and within a certain
\nlimit, but one can push back the limit a good deal. <\/span><\/p>\n

 And in fact, according to the
\ntheories of heredity and atavism, it is said that heredity can skip
\ngenerations, and there are few families where at least one member was not tall
\nand so could justify the height of his grandchildren or great-grandchildren.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\nSweet Mother, can a plant grow
\notherwise than physically? <\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

In plants there is a great vital force. And this vital force has a
\n <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\nPage –
\n25<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

considerable action. And there is also the genius of the species,
\nwhich is a consciousness. There is already an active consciousness at work in
\nplants. <\/span><\/p>\n

 And in the genius of the
\nspecies there is a beginning \u2014 quite embryonic, but still \u2014 there is a
\nbeginning of response to the psychic influence, and certain flowers are clearly
\nthe expression of a psychic attitude and aspiration in the plant, not very
\nconscious of itself, but existing like a spontaneous impetus. <\/span><\/p>\n

 It is quite certain, for
\ninstance, that if you have a special affection for a plant, if, in addition to
\nthe material care you give it, you love it, if you feel close to it, it feels
\nthis; its blossoming is much more harmonious and happy, it grows better, it
\nlives longer. All this means a response in the plant itself. Consequently,
\nthere is the presence there of a certain consciousness; and surely the plant
\nhas a vital being. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\nMother, does a plant have its own
\nindividuality and does it also reincarnate after death? <\/span><\/i>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

This may happen, but it is accidental. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

There are trees \u2014 trees especially
\n\u2014 which have lived long and can be the home of a conscious being, a vital
\nbeing. Generally it is vital entities which take shelter in trees, or else
\ncertain beings of the vital plane which live in forests \u2014 as certain beings of
\nthe vital live in water. There were old legends like that, but they were based
\non facts. <\/span><\/p>\n

 The plant serves as home and
\nshelter, but the being is not created by the plant itself! <\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/span><\/p>\n

\n                                        (Silence)<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/b>Can the being who is chosen by the
\nDivine know it from his very birth? <\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Even before his birth.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\nPage –
\n26<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

 Perhaps his birth is the
\nresult of this choice; generally it is like that. But at any time at all in his
\nlife this can happen. Yet for those who are predestined it is before birth;
\nusually they e to earth with an intention and a specific purpose. <\/span><\/p>\n

 You would like to know very
\nmuch if this has happened to you, yes? (Laughter<\/i>)
\nWell, try \u2014 try to find out: have this inner aspiration, concentrate, and then
\ntry. If you get a result, tell me; I shall tell you if it is right. <\/span><\/p>\n

 (Looking at another disciple)
\nHe has yet something on his mind! <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\nMother, to continue this question
\nabout the last sentence: \u201cThe Supreme has laid his luminous hand upon a chosen
\nhuman vessel of his miraculous Light\u2026\u201d <\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

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

\n\u00a0<\/span>Can this
\nbe applied generally or is it for one in a million? <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

What do you mean by \u201cgenerally\u201d? Everyone on earth? Is that what
\nyou mean? <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n


\n\u00a0<\/span><\/b>All those who aspire and do yoga, or is it
\nonly one person? <\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Oh! now it begins to take shape! (Laughter) Is it only one
\nindividual the Divine chooses to manifest Him or can He choose several? \u2014 He
\nchooses several. <\/span><\/p>\n

 But here too there is a
\nhierarchy. One can understand nothing of the spiritual life if one does not understand
\nthe true hierarchy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nowadays it\u2019s not in fashion. It is
\nsomething which human thought doesn\u2019t favour at all. But from the spiritual
\npoint of view, it is automatic, spontaneous and indisputable. And so, if <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\nPage – 27<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span>the hierarchy is true,
\nthere is a place for everybody; and for each individual in his own place, his
\nindividual truth is absolute. That is to say, each element which is truly in
\nits place has a total and perfect relation with the Divine \u2014 in its place. And
\nyet, on the whole, there is a hierarchy which too is quite absolute. But to
\nunderstand spiritual life one must first understand that; and it isn\u2019t very
\neasy. <\/span><\/p>\n

 Everyone can be a perfect
\nexpression of the Divine in himself, on condition that he knows his place and
\nkeeps to it.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\nAnd if they do not know the
\nhierarchy, they cannot know this? <\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

But they don\u2019t need to know that they form a hierarchy, it is not
\nnecessary to know it. It is only if one wants to physically organise a
\nspiritual society \u2014 then one has to materialise the hierarchy. But generally,
\nin the world as it is, there are so many gaps in this hierarchy that it seems a
\nconfusion. <\/span><\/p>\n

 The perfect hierarchy is a
\ntotal hierarchy, and it is not concerned with time and space. But when you want
\nto realise this physically it becomes very difficult. It\u2019s like weaving a piece
\nof cloth with lots of holes everywhere; and the holes disturb the general
\nharmony. Always people are missing, steps are missing, pieces are missing on
\nthe chess-board \u2014 all this is missing. So it looks like a confusion. But if
\neverything were expressed and each thing in its place, it would be a perfect
\nharmony and a perfect hierarchy. <\/span><\/p>\n

 There is somewhere \u2014 not in
\nthe material universe, but in the manifested universe \u2014 this perfect hierarchy;
\nit exists. But it is not yet manifested upon earth. <\/span><\/p>\n

 Perhaps this will be one of
\nthe results of the supramental transformation: the world will be ready for a
\nperfect, spontaneous, essentially true hierarchical manifestation \u2014 and without
\nany kind of coercion \u2014 where everyone will bee aware of his own perfection. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\nPage – 28<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nMother, what does a spiritual
\nhierarchy mean exactly? Because when we speak of hierarchy that implies
\nsomething graded in a superior and inferior order, doesn\u2019t it?<\/span><\/i><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, and that\u2019s quite wrong. That is to say, materially it is like
\nthat. But this is not what I call a hierarchy. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/span>
\nThen what is a hierarchy?<\/span> <\/b><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

It is the organisation of the functions and the manifestation in
\naction of the particular nature of each person. <\/span><\/p>\n

 We have often tried to find
\ncomparisons, but they are worthless. For none of the things we know physically
\ncan answer to that condition. There is always the sense of superiority and
\ninferiority as you say\u2026. Some have pared a hierarchy to the various functions
\nof the body, for example. But that always gives the impression that the head is
\nat the top and the feet at the bottom, so it is a nuisance! <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/span>
\nEach element is the whole Divine at
\nthe same time, then how can we speak of a hierarchy?<\/span> <\/b><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Each element has a direct and perfect relation with the Divine. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But can\u2019t they become the whole Divine<\/span><\/i><\/span>?<\/span>
\n<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Yes, all become the Divine; but not the totality of the Divine,
\nfor the Divine is everything. You can\u2019t take a piece of the Divine and say,
\n\u201cThis is the Divine.\u201d And yet, in his spiritual consciousness each one has a
\nperfect relation with the Divine, that is to say, each one is the Divine as
\nperfectly as he can be. But to reconstruct the Divine, all the Divine is
\nnecessary. And it is precisely this that constitutes the very essence of
\nhierarchy. But as each one is perfect in himself, there can be no feeling of
\ninferiority or superiority. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\nPage –
\n29<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

 I don\u2019t think the human
\nmentality can understand that. I think it must be lived; once one has lived it,
\nit is very simple, it appears luminously simple. But to understand it with the
\nmind is not possible, it seems impossible. Above all because the mind, in order
\nto understand anything at all, has to divide and contrast everything, otherwise
\nit does not understand, it gets confused. By its very functioning, it becomes
\nincapable of understanding. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\n(Silence<\/i>)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\nSweet Mother, how can one say that
\na fact is \u201calready accomplished\u201d where it has not yet been manifested for instance,
\nthat the Divine has chosen an instrument, when nothing is yet apparent?<\/span><\/i><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, within, in the world which is not yet manifested, the
\ndecision is there, it is taken there; but then it must come to the surface. <\/span><\/p>\n

 It corresponds exactly to what
\nI have already told you so often about the freedom of India. After going to a
\ncertain plane, I said to Sri Aurobindo, \u201cIndia is free.\u201d I didn\u2019t say,
\n\u201cShe\u00a0 <\/span>will be free\u201d; I said, \u201cShe is
\nfree.\u201d Well, between that moment when it was an accomplished fact and the time
\nwhen it was translated into the material world on earth, how many years were
\nnecessary? It was in 1915, and liberation came in 1947, that is, thirty-two
\nyears later. There you are, that is the exact picture of the resistance. <\/span><\/p>\n

 So, for the individual it is
\nthe same thing; sometimes it takes as long as that, sometimes it goes faster. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\nYou say you saw India free\u2026<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

No, I did not see: I knew. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\nYou said to Sri Aurobindo: \u201cIndia
\nis free.\u201d Was India free as one whole or cut into two as it is at present?<\/span><\/i><\/span> <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\n

\nPage –
\n30<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

  <\/span>I meant specially what happened in 1947, that is, the withdrawal of
\nforeign domination, that\u2019s all. Nothing but that, not her moral or spiritual
\nfreedom, I did not speak of that at all. I simply said she was free from
\nforeign domination, because, even to a question Sri Aurobindo put to me, I
\nanswered from the same plane, \u201cThere will be no violence, this will e about
\nwithout a revolution, it will be the English who will decide to go away of
\ntheir own accord, for things will bee too hot for them owing to certain world
\ncircumstances.\u201d So that was the only point, there was no spiritual question
\nhere. <\/span><\/p>\n

 And that\u2019s how things
\nhappened. And I had told Sri Aurobindo this in 1915, exactly. It was all there,
\nit was there \u2014 I guessed nothing nor prophesied anything: it was a fact. <\/span><\/p>\n

 And so, that gives you the
\nexact picture of the length of time necessary between the established fact and
\nthe inner realisation. And for the individual it is the same thing: he is
\nchosen, he has chosen; and he has chosen the Divine and he is chosen; and it is
\nsomething which has been decided; and it will be realised inevitably, one can\u2019t
\nescape even if one tries. Only, it may take a very long time. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\nMother, I was asking\u2026 (laughter)
\nYou said that India was free in 1915, but was she free as she is free now?
\nBecause India is not free as one whole. She is broken up. <\/span><\/i>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

 Oh! Oh! that\u2019s what you wanted to know. <\/span><\/p>\n

 That\u2026 the details were not
\nthere. No, there must have been a possibility of its being otherwise, for, when
\nSri Aurobindo told them to do a certain thing, sent them his message,\u00b9 he knew <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n\u00b9In
\n1942, at the time of the proposals offered by the British through Sir Stafford
\nCripps, not yet granting independence to India but leading towards it, Sri Aurobindo
\ntook the trouble of sending a special messenger to Delhi to convince certain
\nresponsible persons that the proposals must
\nbe<\/i> accepted. They did not understand. Had the proposals been accepted, the
\npartition of India and its accompanying atrocities would most probably have
\nbeen avoided.<\/font><\/span> <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\nPage –
\n31<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

very well that it was possible to avoid what happened later. If
\nthey had listened to him at that time, there would have been no division.
\nConsequently, the division was not decreed, it was a human deformation. It is
\nbeyond question a human deformation. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\nBut then, how can it be said that
\nthe decision of the Supreme cannot be eluded?<\/span><\/i><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

What? <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\nIf the Divine had chosen that India
\nwould be free\u2026<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

No, no, it\u2019s not like that, my child! (Laughter)<\/span><\/p>\n

 It\u2019s a fact<\/i>, that\u2019s all. It is the Divine who is India, it is the Divine
\nwho is freedom, it is the Divine who is subjection, it is the Divine who is
\neverything \u2014 then how could He choose? <\/span>
\n <\/span><\/p>\n

\n(Silence)<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

I advise you to go up there and
\nsee, then you will understand. So long as you have not climbed right up the
