VOLUME 12 - 1971 January 11 Summary: Category: Supramental Existence Keywords: Seeing, hearing, the senses, direct perception Your Comments: (MSS) We
know the magician sees with eyes shut. A magician drove on the roads of
Madras with his eyes taped. In
concentration, first the senses turn off. Next, mind wakes up by itself and
functions without the help of the senses (see the Chapter on concentration
in 'Synthesis of Yoga'). Then mind sees, hears, etc. without the help of
eyes or ears. This is the human mind. Above is a range of higher mind,
illumined mind, intuitive mind, Overmind and then Supermind. Each mind is
capable of functioning through the lower faculty as mind does through the
senses of the vital or BY ITSELF.
When
Supermind functions by itself, which is the case of Mother, she sees as
described here. (Mageswari) From August 1st onwards, whenever I look at the picture of Sri Aurobindo, His dhoti's whiteness and brightness has been slowly increasing and during last two days i.e. 13 & 14th, His dhoti was slightly moving. All this I saw with my open eyes. I think that this direct perception is coming to me because of Sri Aurobindo's birthday. I know very well I have never even imagined anything like that. January
30 Summary: Category: Supramental Existence Keywords: Eating, digesting, food Comments: (MSS) We know of people who are terribly interested in eating or physical work and those who aren't the least interested in eating. The former are more physical, the latter are more mental. Here, in Mother's case, it is taken to higher levels. February
3 Summary: Category: Yoga Keywords: consecration, purpose of life, Yoga Comments: (MSS) A neo-literate would not put a book down and would enjoy reading aloud like a child with a new toy. In 'As You Like It', Rosalind says that as she is a woman, she needs to talk as she thinks. That is the power of nascent energy. It is true at all levels. Scientists cannot wean themselves from the experiment, astronomers from the telescope, or Sherlock Holmes from his investigation. When the physical learns to do something, it CANNOT desist from doing it, says Mother. Of all the human explorations, consecration is cutting anew path in spiritual life. Once man sees it, he will come down, nor stop doing it. For that, one needs to learn consecration. February 27 Summary: Category: Current Human Existence Keywords: knowledge, experience Comments: (MSS:) Practical knowledge is the
physical capacity to survive. In Evolution survival is taken for granted
and built on. Relying on survival is dangerous. As you evolve, the base of
survival needs to be reconstituted with new consciousness. E.g.
our academic training is useless for reading
The Life Divine.
Training in prose can interfere with appreciation of music. Boisterous
enjoyment will not contribute to enjoying cultured life. The physical can repeat, only
repeat. Does anyone want things to be repeated? Not only in Life Divine,
is it possible in innovation, creativity, or in new computer programmes?
The essence of civilisation is to
give up past experience and build upon the essence of that experience.

p. 53 Category: Mother's Yoga Keywords: passive, Divine Will, (MSS) Passivity
is NOT dullness. It is a state higher than dynamic activity which includes
the energy of that dynamism. Compare it to Silent Will which is more
effective than the spoken word. Let
us take one of the four levels of Spirit, mind, vital and physical and
divide it into consciousness and substance.
These two subdivide into surface and depth.
Our social life and the mentality that governs it is governed by
information, knowledge, energy, experience, culture, accomplishment and at
least ten other things. Now we know this knowledge that is acquired by
reading, which is one of the ten things on the surface of the
consciousness, ranges from total illiterate ignorance to the final
expertise of university scholarship. Can we not divide it further into 100
surface levels? So, safely between where we are and the height of spirit,
there are a few hundred levels of consciousness. Dullness
-- incapable of activity March
3 Summary: Category: Devotees Keywords: receptivity, aspiration Your Comments: ____________________________ March 3
(con't) Summary: Category: Mother's Yoga Keywords: sleep Comments: (RP) Again perhaps an example of the Supramental nature? (MSS) In
sleep, people touch Satchitananda and replenish their energy. If one is
unconscious, he touches the Inconscient and wakes up exhausted. Sleep is
the period when the surface being is at rest and subliminal at work. In
the parts we are asleep, Mother is awake at night. To understand this
passage, we need to understand SLEEP. The analogy of 24 hours of service
by the railways, airlines, fire department, etc. is good, but is
inadequate. Mother is conscious in the parts we are unconscious. The
conscious part rests, does not sleep. The unconscious parts need sleep. March

The Supramental Force is out front beyond the body; the body is not the best vehicle for the force; it too must evolve to allow the best flowing of the Force June 9 Summary: Category: Human Limitation, Transformation of Life on Earth Keywords: ego, individuality, Divine, false, falsehood Comments: June 16 Summary: Category: Mother's Yoga Keywords: the Becoming, the Unfolding, usefulness, truth, falsehood Comments: June
