Champaklal Speaks : 'It is the Ramayana of my life'. 'My life is Sri Aurobindo & the Mother only. To write down their sweet memories is Champaklal's worship'
Once I had a long talk with Mother and what she told me was very interesting. I was deeply moved. The next day I asked Mother if she would write for me what she had said. She wrote out:
Champaklal,
1) Be always faithful to the Divine in your heart.
2) Let nothing interfere with the absoluteness of your consecration or stop your progress which has been up to now quite satisfactory.
3) Take the present circumstances and the coming back of... as a test and face it victoriously.
4) Be vigilant.
12.2.1932
The Mother
As you see she gave me four directions. I decided to carry them out in earnest. And each year I would ask Mother about my progress on these four counts. In other words, whether I had passed or failed this examination. Here is an account of the results declared by Sri Aurobindo and Mother, year by year.
11.2.1933
Mother,
Last year I received the examination paper from you. Four things were given. Mother, how many marks do I get? Passed or failed?
1) Passed well.
2) Progressing steadily.
3) Not bad.
4) Satisfactory.
February 1934
The progress has been good in all four.
19.3.1935
I pray for Mother's answers for all the four separately.
It can be generally said for all four that there is progress.
Sri Aurobindo
20.3.1935
Isn't it the meaning of your answer yesterday that in comparison with last year there has been no progress this year? Is it true that you are not satisfied with my progress?
No, I did not mean that. I meant what I said that there had been progress in all the four points.
Last year I received from Mother “good progress” and this year only “progress”. Is there no difference between the two?
You are going on all right; do not worry about it.
1.2.1936
I pray for Gracious Mother's answer for all the four separately this year also.
There has been a good general progress this year and you have become much more conscious.
With love and special blessings
2.2.1937
I pray for Mother's answer for all the four separately this year also.
1) This is progressing very well.
2) Here you have done well.
3) There is improvement here.
4) Here also.
2.2.1938
1) Quite successful.
2) The progress continues to be satisfactory.
3) Quite all right.
4) There is improvement, but more is needed.
Love and blessings to our dear child.
2.2.19401
1) Satisfactory.
2) Satisfactory.
3) Satisfactory.
4) Be always vigilant.
Sri Aurobindo The Mother
2.2.1941
We think that answers on these points are no longer needed. You have only to go forward straight on the path.
With our love and blessings
2.2.1930
Red lotus—Symbol of the manifestation of the Supreme upon earth. White lotus—Symbol of the Divine Consciousness.
To Champaklal,
Let this year be a year of progress and transformation—one more step on the way leading to the Divine Realisation.
Le 2 Février 1933
à Champaklal pour sa fête,
Et les choses qui paraissaient les plus difficiles, les plus improbables, et peut-ètre mème les plus impossibles, deviennent réalisables intégralement, puisque Ta Présence nous assure que le monde matériel lui-mème est préparé pour manifester la forme nouvelle de Ta Volonté et de Ta Loi.
avec mes benedictions.
LA MERE
2.2.1933
To Champaklal for his birthday.
The things which seemed most difficult, most improbable, perhaps, even most impossible, become wholly realisable, because Thy Presence is our assurance that the material world itself is prepared to manifest the new form of Thy Will and Thy Law.
With my Blessings
2.2.19402
Tranquillise and widen your consciousness; go deeper into your soul.
This year make an effort to achieve equanimity.
A clarified consciousness with strength to reject all inconscience and receive all that comes from the Light, this should be the aim before you.
This year you must wholly overcome and throw out the hostile suggestion that has been harassing you, rejecting it in such a way that it will never come back again. Your home, your place and your fulfilment are here.
2.2.1942
Aspire always to grow more and more conscious so that all the small obstacles shall disappear from the physical consciousness and the obscurer parts of the vital nature.
In front of the repeated attacks from the enemy you must keep your faith intact and endure till the Victory is won.
2.2.1943
Keep yourself ready by faith and self-opening to receive the Light when it comes.
Let this year be for you the year of a complete opening and of the breaking of all limitations.
2.2.1944
Let the mind be quiet and receive the Light; let the vital be quiet and receive the Force that delivers.
Let this year bring to you the true faith—a faith that no darkness can obscure.
2.2.1945
Let the year that is beginning mark a definitive stage in the growth of your psychic being and its power over your nature and your life.
I am glad to be able to say that your openness and your receptivity have increased during last year. Do not stop now and let them become perfect in the year to come.
With my love and blessings
2.2.1946
Continue to open yourself and the psychic consciousness will grow in you and the Light refine and illumine whatever is left of the shadows in the mind and vital being.
My dear child, now I can call you in truth my dear child as I feel you quite close to me having taken shelter in my arms for good—and you are welcome there with all my love.
2.2.1947
An increasing advance on the road to the entire psychic change is what is most important in the sadhana, for that is the straight road to the spiritual transformation. Devotion, harmony and scrupulousness in work, a growing inner perception and consciousness, more and more fading of the more vehement movements of the vital ego are among the more prominent landmarks on the road.
My dear child, that which I had foreseen last year has proved to be quite true and this relation of the Mother and the child has much grown in reality, intensity and deepness.
2.2.1948
Matter, blind to the Light, deaf to the call, the material consciousness and material life are the last and most obstinate refuge of the Inconscient and its resistance. There, the nearer the light the higher it raises its wall of resistance. When that is overcome, the decisive transformation can have an open way.
My dear child,
Let your receptivity increase this year, to the extent of giving you the power to fully utilise the force that is at work for restoring perfect good health in you.
2.2.1949
Sri Aurobindo's love and blessings on the occasion of your birthday.
My dear child, now it is time for the faith to become truly active and to stand unshaken against all contradictions. Have the faith, the true faith, that you are cured and the cure is bound to come.
My love and blessings
2.2.1950 and 1951
To my most faithful child, the keeper of the true remembrance I give today the assurance of my full confidence. I did not write in this book in 1950 because it was to be the most important year of your life, the year that has put a seal to what you were and opened in front of you the door leading to what you will be: a true and complete child of our Lord whose presence here is more total than it has ever been.
2.2.1952
Patience Perseverance Endurance Faith and an Unshakable courage ... ... We are approaching the goal. With my love and blessings
2.2.1953
A steady progress and a clear understanding of what you must be. These are the gains of the finished year.
Now there is only to continue. With my love and blessings
2.2.1954
In 1940 Sri Aurobindo wrote to you: “Tranquillise and widen your consciousness” and I insisted on achieving equanimity. Many, things have happened since then, much progress has been done and yet these things remain still to be fully realised. Let these be accomplished during this year that begins for you. A silent equanimity both inside and outside will be a great achievement for you.
2.2.1955
This time it is a year of true progress which has brought you nearer to the goal and much closer to me. With my love and blessings
2.2.1956
I can repeat what I said last year— but this time the progress is much bigger and the closeness to me much more true and intimate. You have advanced on the path at a great speed—and I can only tell you, continue.
2.2.1957
Bonne fête!
To my dear child.
You have continued, and this time the progress is much more concrete and complete. I have the strong feeling that I can rely upon you and this is very comfortable.
Let this progress spread to the body now and give you good health steadily.
2.2.1958
To my dear child—
One more year; one more step towards perfect service in a total surrender. With my love and blessings
2.2.1959
My dear child.
This year, the Grace has arranged circumstances in such a way that you are closer to me than you have ever been—and all through you have proved most reliable and effective, always ready, always there when you are needed, always doing what needs to be done. I am happy to tell you that on your birthday.
2.2.1960
Champaklal, my dear child.
I am glad to be able to say that you are progressing steadily. As you yourself remarked, your consciousness is growing and with one more effort you will soon emerge in the light and become wise.
This one more effort is the control of speech... let it be the boon from the Grace for this year!
2.2.1961
My dear child, Bonne Fete! Few words are needed. All is going on well. Steadily we are advancing towards the goal, and you are keeping pace with me. My love and blessings
2.2.1962
All is well. You are progressing rapidly—there is only to continue steadily and the way will open before you more and more dear.
2.2.1963
Bonne Fête!
Champaklal, my dear child
The way is wide open and it is an artistic one, a fine way of expressing your soul, which will become more and more clear and powerful with the inner growth and flowering of your heart as a sincere expression of your eternal Soul.
With love and blessings
2.2.1964
A big step has been taken, a great change has taken place, the presence of your Soul is clearly felt not only in what you do—which is steadily progressing—but in what you are.
This is a decisive year for you, heralding the realisation.
2.2.1965
Champaklal
This year, I feel clearly that you have become a part of myself. For ever love
2.2.1966
Bonne Fête! Bonne Année! Bon Progrés!
Let this year see the advent of the true joy of working in the Divine's Consciousness.
With love
2.2.1967
Bonne Fête! To Champaklal with love and Blessings
The illness has come like a test and gone like a purification carrying away all that was standing in the way of the joy of an integral consecration.
2.2.1968
Bonne Fête To Champaklal with love and blessings
I am happy to say that you are my true child and becoming more and more so.
(The Mother told me: “I come to you. You will read it carefully. It is concrete, my experience.” She repeated it.—Champaklal)
2.2.1969
Bonne Fête! Champaklal, Let the full Light be with you in a silent adoration. With my love and blessings
2.2.1969 Bonne Fete! To Champaklal the faithful With love and blessings for a happy, healthy and useful year in light, joy and love.
A new decade from 70 to 80
2.2.1970
En avant! Toujours en avant!3 With love and blessings
