The Mother : Contact Painting
In March 1967 Huta began the work of expressing some of Sri Aurobindo's poems through paintings. Under the Mother's inspiration and guidance she selected certain verses from the poems and completed fifty-four paintings, which were all shown to the Mother in September of that year. This new book presents these paintings along with the lines which inspired them from some of Sri Aurobindo's most well-known poems

Sri Aurobindo, Collected Poems: The Other Earths
=============
Sri Aurobindo has stated:
"As thought rises in the scale, it ceases to be intellectual, becomes illumined, then intuitive, then overmental and finally disappears seeking the last Beyond. The poem does not express any philosophical thought, however; it is simply a perception of a certain movement, that is all.
Pale blue is the colour of the higher ranges of mind upto the intuition. Above it, it begins to become golden with the Supramental Light.
Thought is not the giver of knowledge but the mediator between the Inconscient and the Superconscient. It compels the world born from the Inconscient to reach for a Knowledge other than the instinctive vital or merely empirical, for the Knowledge that itself exceeds thought; it calls for that superconscient Knowledge and prepares the consciousness here to receive it. It rises itself into the higher realms and even in disappearing into the Supramental and Ananda levels is transformed into something that will bring down their powers into the silent self which its cessation leaves behind it.
Gold-red is the colour of the Supramental in the physical — the poem describes Thought in the stage when it is undergoing transformation and is about to ascend into the Infinite above and disappear into it. The flame-word rune is the Word of the higher Inspiration, Intuition, Revelation which is the highest attainment of Thought."
