Life Divine and Business

Outline of Chapters

by Mother’s Service Society

Matter & Spirit, Being and Non-Being:	Neither sales nor production is exclusively important
Universal & Individual	Sales fulfils itself in production, vice-versa
Subconscient and Superconscient must be united:	Scientific discovery and need of the ignorant people who are satisfied with nothing.
Ego:	It is selfishness that brings loss. Business integrated with customers won't incur loss as inside a company excess material is profitably used.
Vedantic knowledge	Separate sensationalism of accumulating profit, one attains abundance.
Pure Existence	Commercial world is one of great conscious energy
Conscious Force (5 elements, 5 senses):	The society is conscious in what it wants and how it gets.
Delight:	Society tries to express in the individual its great power. Man runs after the trappings
Maya:	The selective force of organisations for individual works. Social and government organisations.
Supermind:	. Neither the Rishis, scientists, wisemen or the ignorant men can create. Only the businessmen who are a link can manufacture and supply.
Supreme Truth Consciousness:	Society by its will creates in the planes of manufacture (& education) and distribution
3 poises	Society, Govt., citizen
Supermind and Mind:	Mind here is the subdividing government administration that ends in the least officer and society that ends in the family and the individual and family.
Life:	Social life is the social force that is energised by the mind in the process of which mind is lost. Life creates sensation in the customer and public and makes the scientist create new products which in turn changes the public
Double soul	Self-evident.
Matter:	Now the customer decides the product. If we change our attitude the product can determine the customer

Sevenfold Chord of Being:

The 4 above changing into 4 below	The elite is unmoved in knowledge and wealth	The poor are ummoved in their resignation
	The great of the soul are full of compassion	The poor do have their compassion
	The life of the great are in great equilibrium by virtue of their self-awareness	The life of the masses remains at some equilibrium somehow.

The substance at all levels is the same.

Overmind takes each aspect and takes it to its final	Every act of specialisation goes further and specialisation reaches its ultimate limit. Specialisation brings out other aspects and naturally will lead to synthesis
1. It is not the mind that determines but the Supermind	It is not the companies that determine but the market.
2. Dualities, simultaneous (Time) Integrality	Man has to learn how to live the life of the whole. It is possible. It is not as if he can either be a professor or a businessman. He can be both.
3. Eternal and the Individual	The citizen is the society.
4. Divine and Undivine	Unity, Truth, Goodness, Knowledge, Will, Love are all necessary. Man needs all, but we only notice poverty, not the lack of other things.
5,6 (two chapters omitted)
7. (must be in next book) Knowledge & Ignorance	Neither the ideal nor the material but that which includes both makes for knowledge.
8, 9 Memory, Self-Consciousness, Ignorance Memory, Ego, Self-experience Memory helps the Self in Ignorance to be conscious. It is the same memory that makes consciousness of the self to become Ego in Ignorance, but the Self is to experience itself on the surface and depth.	Ignorant businessmen in their conscious awareness build ego but they must build the Self experience overcoming memory.
10. Boundaries of Ignorance	Practical Ignorance – Don’t know what product to sell. Constitutional Ignorance – Village, town and metropolis each is unaware of the other. Psychological Ignorance – No idea when labour will strike, a hartal will hold up work. Temporal Ignorance – Products are being developed over time and suddenly appear in the market. Universal Ignorance – Floods, volcano, earthquake, hurricane take us unawares. Cosmic Ignorance – Pollution Original Ignorance – Revolution, war, cold war
11. 4 types of knowledge	q The least of men only know themselves (surface knowledge), busy themselves in their specialisation. q The vitally intuitive know the environment too (subliminal knowledge). q The specialist either in research or in trade due to his vitally intuitive knowledge suddenly comes upon a valuable insight into something great (Microsoft). (intuitive knowledge) q Einstein is lost in relativity. (knowledge by identity)
12. Origin of Ignorance Ignorance begins when mind severs its connection with Supermind	Businesses stall and shrink when they emphasize profit and profit only, cutting their relationship with the society at large.
13. Exclusive concentration – Ignorance. Ignorance is created by the exclusive concentration	-- do --
14. Origin of Evil, Falsehood, etc. The simple contrary by a wrong insistence becomes complex perversity. The separate being needs evil for its evolution.	The muscle man or a military power like Saudi Arabia by flexing their muscles successfully is enamoured into an anti-social position. Individuals, communities, nations (Japan) have occasion to dwell on their purity and superiority which leads to the formation of their respective ego. Once you are into that shell, of course, it is painful to voluntarily break it. When it is broken from outside, it is also painful. Pain comes out of the insularity they have chosen.
Reality and Integral Knowledge (This is by mistake written as Ch. 7 in Book II) [interchange these two] No. 7 Knowledge and Ignorance Ignorance is a self-limitation of knowledge	The candidates in the election campaign feign ignorance, try to minister to the level of the knowledge of the voters. This is self-limitation, not ignorance itself.
2. Aims and Theories of Life	Excluding globalisation is wrong. Not only that, each business must try to integrate itself with other businesses and other sectors.
3. Progress – God, Man & Nature. To unify these 3 in Man is progress	The customer, the citizen is the centre. Production and distribution must be united in the customer.
4. Ascent and Integration Double opening. Shift the concentration from outside to inside.	Business aspires for technology above. It should open above to the new technology as well as to the new needs of the customers below. The analysis of the market must be changed to what the customer feels.
5. Sevenfold Knowledge
6, 7., 8. Rebirth The spirit cannot accomplish its evolution in one birth; it needs several births.	No company can achieve in its single lifetime—in a single generation—its aim. It needs to live over several generations.
9. Man and Evolution Change of body to house higher consciousness in man reverses itself as change of consciousness to alter the body that houses it, making evolution inevitable.	It was revolution each time the society changed. Now the government as well as society evolve.
10. Evolution of spiritual man. To discover his own spirit and help others discover their spirit is the aim.	The businessman must discover the formula of luck and help others to discover in their business.
11., 12., 13. Triple Transformation, Ascent to Supermind, Gnostic Being. Psychic – Spiritual -- Supramental	Psychic – to find the formula of unfailing success in work. Spiritual – To do that work only positively. Supramental – The individual business must become a catalytic agent to change the entire business as GM, IBM, Microsoft
14. Divine Life To be fully is to be conscious, forceful, delightful and universal.	In business universality is made possible by one who is conscious of his work and delights in it. He becomes a force.
