\nSpiritual Attainments <\/font>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nIf mankind could but see though in a glimpse
\nof fleeting experience what infinite enjoyments, what perfect forces, what
\nluminous reaches of spontaneous knowledge, what wide calms of our being lie
\nwaiting for us in the tracts which our animal evolution has not yet conquered,
\nthey would leave all and never rest till they had gained these treasures. But
\nthe way is narrow, the doors are hard to force, and fear, distrust and
\nscepticism are there, sentinels of Nature, to forbid the turning away of our
\nfeet from her ordinary pastures. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nSRI AUROBINDO<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nSpirituality is in its essence an awakening
\nto the inner reality of our being, to a spirit, self, soul which is other than
\nour mind, life and body, an inner aspiration to know, to feel, to be that, to
\nenter into contact with the greater Reality beyond and pervading the universe
\nwhich inhabits also our own being, to be in communion with It and union with It,
\nand a turning, a conversion, a transformation of our whole being as a result of
\nthe aspiration, the contact, the union, a growth or waking into a new becoming
\nor new being, a new self, a new nature.<\/font>

\nKnow what the Divine wants and you will have

\n

\nSelf-mastery is the greatest conquest, it is the
\nbasis of all enduring happiness. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHE MOTHER <\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nIt is from within<\/i> that you must become
\nmaster of your lower nature by establishing your consciousness firmly in a
\ndomain that is free of all desire and attachment because it is under the
\ninfluence of the divine Light and Force. It is a long and exacting labour which
\nmust be undertaken with an unfailing sincerity and a tireless perseverance.      <\/font><\/p>\n

\n THE MOTHER <\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nThe mastery must be a true<\/i> mastery, a very
\nhumble and austere mastery which starts from the very bottom and, step by step,
\nestablishes control. In fact, it is a battle against small things, very tiny
\nthings: habits of being, ways ol thinking, feeling and reacting. When this
\nmastery at the very bottom combine with the consciousness at the very top, then
\nyoi can really begin to do work \u2014 not only work on yourself but work for all.    <\/font><\/p>\n

\nBy Knowledge we mean in yoga not thought

\nSRI AUROBINDO <\/font><\/p>\n

\nThe knowledge that seems to come to you from
\noutside is only an occasion for bringing out the knowledge that is within you.
\nLet all circumstances, all happenings in life be occasions, constantly renewed,

\nreason exceeds the knowledge of the senses. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nSRI AUROBINDO <\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nThere are different kinds of knowledge. One is
\ninspiration, i.e. something that comes out of the knowledge planes like a flash
\nand opens up the mind to the Truth in a moment. That is inspiration. It easily
\ntakes the form of words as when a poet writes or a speaker speaks, as people
\nsay, from inspiration. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nSRI AUROBINDO <\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n[Inspiration] is like a tiny little stream or a few
\nfalling drops and these drops are so pure, so brilliant, so complete in
\nthemselves, that they give you the sense of a marvellous inspiration, the
\nimpression that you have reached infinite domains and risen very high above the
\nordinary human condition. And yet this is nothing in comparison with what is
\nstill to be perceived. <\/font><\/p>\n

 REVELATION<\/a><\/font> <\/font><\/b><\/p>\n

\n\n\n
\n

\nRevelation is the direct sight, the direct hearing
\n<\/b>or
\n<\/b>the inspired memory of Truth, drishti, shruti, smriti;<\/i> it is the
\nhighest experience and always accessible to renewed experience. Not because God
\nspoke it, but because the soul saw it, is the word of the Scriptures our supreme
\nauthority.         <\/font><\/p>\n

\n SRI AUROBINDO <\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nThe Vedic seers seem to speak of two primary
\nfaculties of the "truth-conscious" soul; they are Sight and Hearing, by which is
\nintended direct operations of an inherent Knowledge describable as truth-vision
\nand truth-audition and reflected from far-off in our human mentality by the
\nfaculties of revelation and inspiration.   <\/font><\/p>\n

\nSRI AUROBINDO <\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nRevelation is greater than inspiration – it brings
\nthe direct knowledge and seeing; inspiration gives the expression, but the two
\nare not always equal. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nCONSCIOUSNESS<\/a><\/b><\/font> <\/font><\/p>\n\n\n
\n

\nConsciousness is a fundamental thing, the
\nfundamental thing in existence \u2014 it is the energy, the motion, the movement of
\nconsciousness that creates the universe and all that is in it – not only the
\nmacrocosm but the microcosm is nothing but conscious- ness arranging itself. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nSRI AUROBINDO <\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nConsciousness is made up of two elements, awareness
\nof self and things and forces and conscious-power. Awareness is the first thing
\nnecessary, you have to be aware of things in the right consciousness, in the
\nright way, seeing them in their truth; but awareness by itself is not enough.
\nThere must be a Will and a Force that make the consciousness effective. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nSRI AUROBINDO <\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nThe only thing<\/i> that is truly effective is
\nthe change of consciousness; it is inner liberation through a close and constant
\nunion, absolute and inevitable, with the vibration of the supramental forces.
\nThe preoccupation of every second, the will of all the elements of the being,
\nthe aspiration of the whole being, including all the cells of the body, is this
\nunion with the supramental forces, the divine forces. And there is no longer any
\nneed at all to be concerned with what the consequences will be. What has to be
\nin the play of the universal forces and their manifestation will be, quite
\nnaturally, spontaneously, automatically; there is no need to be concerned about
\nit. The only thing that matters is the constant, total, complete contact –
\nconstant, yes, constant \u2014 with the Force, the Light, the Truth, the Power, and
\nthat ineffable delight of the supramental consciousness. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nOccultism is the knowledge and right use of the

\n<\/b>the subtle physical and supraphysical planes. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nSRI AUROBINDO <\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nOccultism means rightly the use of the higher
\npowers of our nature, soul, mind, life-force and the faculties of the subtle
\nphysical consciousness to bring about results on their own or on the material
\nplane by some pressure of their own secret law and its potentialities, for
\nmanifestation and result in human or earthly mind and life and body or in
\nobjects and events in the world of Matter. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nConversion: the turning of all the movements of the

\nTHE MOTHER <\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nWhen [the psychic being] is awake, it begins to
\ntake hold of the rest of the being, to influence it
\nand change it so that all may become the true expression of the inner soul.
\nIt is this change that is called the inner conversion. There can be no
\nconversion without the awakening of the psychic being. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nSRI AUROBINDO <\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nThe spiritual conversion begins when the soul
\nbegins to insist on a deeper life and is complete when the psychic being becomes
\nthe basis or the leader of the consciousness and mind and vital and body are led
\nby it and obey it. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nNEW BIRTH <\/font><\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

\n\n\n
\n

\nWhen I speak of "New Birth" I am always speaking of
\nthe birth of a new consciousness. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHE MOTHER <\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nWhat is called "new birth" is the birth into the
\nspiritual life, the spiritual consciousness; it is to carry in oneself something
\nof the spirit which individually, through the soul, can begin to rule the life
\nand be the master of existence. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nBirth into the true consciousness, that of the

\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\nOriganum majorana.<\/i> White
\n<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

\nYou become a new person, and whatever your path or
\nits difficulties later on, that feeling never leaves you. It is not even
\nsomething, like many other experiences, which recedes, passes into the
\nbackground, leaving you externally with a kind of vague memory that is difficult
\nto hold, a memory that grows faint and blurred <\/font><\/p>\n

\n\u2014 it is not that. You are<\/i> a new person and
\nyou are definitively that, whatever happens. And even all the incapacities of
\nthe mind, all the difficulties of the vital, all the inertia of the physical are
\nunable to change this new state – a new state that makes a decisive<\/i> break in
\nthe life of the consciousness. The being one was before and the being one is
\nafter, are no longer the same. The position one has in the universe and in
\nrelation to it, in life and in relation to it, in understanding and in relation
\nto it, is no longer the same: it is a true reversal which can never be undone
\nagain. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHE MOTHER <\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nREALISATION<\/font><\/b> <\/font><\/p>\n

\nRealisation is … when something for which you are
\naspiring becomes real to you; e.g. you have the idea of the Divine in all, but
\nit is only an idea, a belief; when you feel or see the Divine in all, it becomes
\na realisation. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nSRI AUROBINDO <\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nIn a more deep and spiritual sense a concrete
\nrealisation is that which makes the thing realised more real, dynamic,
\nintimately present to the consciousness than any physical thing can be.

\nREALISATION<\/a><\/font> <\/font><\/p>\n

<\/b><\/p>\n

\n\n\n
\n

\nRealisations are the reception in the conscious-
\nness and the establishment there of the fundamental truths of the Divine, of
\nthe Higher or Divine Nature, of the world-consciousness and the play of its
\nforces, of one’s own self and real nature and the inner nature of things, the
\npower of these things growing in one till they are a part of one’s inner life
\nand existence, – as for instance, the realisation of the Divine Presence, the
\ndescent and settling of the higher Peace, Light, Force, Ananda in the conscious-
\nness, their workings there, the realisation of the divine or spiritual love, . .
\n. the clear perception of the relation of all these things to our present
\ninferior nature and their action on it to change that lower nature. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nSRI
\nAUROBINDO <\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nLIBERATION<\/b><\/font> <\/font><\/p>\n

\nLiberation signifies an emergence into the true
\nspiritual nature of being where all action is the automatic self-expression of
\nthat truth and there can be nothing else. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nSRI AUROBINDO <\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nDeep, intense, convincing, common to all who have
\noverstepped a certain limit of the active mind-belt into the horizonless inner
\nspace, this is the great experience of liberation, the consciousness of
\nsomething within us that is behind and outside of the universe and all its
\nforms, interests, aims, events and happenings, calm, untouched, unconcerned,
\nillimitable, immobile, free….
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\nSRI AUROBINDO
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\n

   <\/font><\/p>\n

\nThe sense of release as if from jail always
\naccompanies the emergence of the psychic being or the realisation of the self
\nabove. It is therefore spoken of as a liberation, mukti.<\/i> It is a release
\ninto peace, happiness, the soul’s freedom not tied down by the thousand ties and
\ncares of the outward ignorant existence.

\n

\nThe first victory is to create an individuality.
\nAnd then later, the second victory is to give this individuality to the Divine.
\nAnd the third victory is that the Divine changes your individuality into a
\ndivine being. There are three stages: the first is to become an individual; the second is to consecrate the individual so that
\nhe may surrender entirely to the Divine and be identified with Him; and the third is that the Divine takes possession
\nof this individual and changes him into a being in His own image; that is, he too becomes divine. <\/font><\/p>\n

\ntransformation in which all is merged in the Divine in the cosmic consciousness.
\nThird is the supramental transformation in which all becomes supramentalised in
\nthe divine gnostic consciousness. It is only with the last that there can begin
\nthe complete<\/i> transformation of mind, life and body – in my sense of

\nintense impression, the concentrated form of delight. . .. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nSRI AUROBINDO <\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nBeauty is Ananda taking form – but the form need
\nnot be a physical shape. One speaks of a beautiful thought, a beautiful act, a
\nbeautiful soul. What we speak of as beauty is Ananda in manifestation. … <\/font><\/p>\n

\nSRI
\nAUROBINDO <\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nBeauty is the special divine Manifestation in the
\nphysical as Truth is in the mind, Love in the heart, Power in the vital.
\nSupramental beauty is the highest divine beauty manifesting in Matter <\/font><\/p>\n

\nSRI
\nAUROBINDO <\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nThe one rule of the gnostic life would be the self-
\nexpression of the Spirit, the will of the Divine Being; that will, that
\nself-expression could manifest through extreme simplicity or through extreme
\ncomplexity and opulence or in their natural balance, \u2014 for beauty and plenitude,
\na hidden sweetness and laughter  in things, a sunshine and gladness of life are
\nalso powers and expressions of the Spirit. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nSRI AUROBINDO <\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nBeauty is his footprint showing us where he has passed, Love is his heart-beats’ rhythm in mortal
\nbreasts, Happiness the smile on his adorable face. <\/font><\/p>\n

\npolitical instinct and the habit of mastery and rule, \u2014 though these latter

<\/b><\/p>\n

\nTo do this yoga, one must have, at least a little,
\nthe sense of beauty. If one does not, one misses one of the most important
\naspects of the physical world. There is this beauty, this dignity of soul – a
\nthing about which I am very sensitive. It is a thing that moves me and evokes in
\nme a great respect always. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nYes, this beauty of soul that is visible in the
\nface, this kind of dignity, this harmony of integral realisation. When the soul
\nbecomes visible in the physical, it gives this dignity, this beauty, this
\nmajesty, the majesty that comes from one’s being the Tabernacle. Then, even
\nthings that have no particular beauty put on a sense of eternal beauty, of
\nthe<\/i> eternal beauty. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nAll wealth belongs to the Divine and those who hold
\nit are trustees, not possessors. It is with them today, tomorrow it may be
\nelsewhere. All depends on the way they discharge their trust while it is with
\nthem, in what spirit, with what consciousness in their use of it, to what
\npurpose.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n SRI AUROBINDO <\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nMost spiritual disciplines insist on a complete
\nself-control, detachment and renunciation of all bondage to wealth and of all
\npersonal and egoistic desire for its possession. Some even put a – ban on money
\nand riches and proclaim poverty and bareness of life as the only spiritual
\ncondition. But this is an error; it leaves the power in the hands of the hostile
\nforces. To reconquer it for the Divine to whom it belongs and use it divinely
\nfor the divine life is the supramental way for the Sadhaka. . . . The ideal
\nSadhaka in this kind is one who if required to live poorly can so live and no
\nsense of want will affect him or interfere with the full inner play of the
\ndivine consciousness, and if he is required to live richly, can so live and
\nnever for a moment fall into desire or attachment to his wealth or to the things
\nthat he uses or servitude to self-indulgence or a weak bondage to the habits
\nthat the possession of riches creates. The divine Will is all for him and the
\ndivine Ananda. <\/font><\/p>\n
