... lost and one keeps drawing sweetness from the thought of them. To put it the other way round, the thought of them immediately projects one into their company. And this is no mere fancy. There is a mind-space in which one can move freely even though our mind's e'nsheathment in a physical form prevents one from fully realising the fact. A further step is that, while holding relations and friends vividly ...

... realm since there is an overlapping of the kingdoms of the Greater Mind and the Spiritual Kingdom. The World-Soul 70 Aswapati sees a luminous tunnel in the glowing background of the Mind-Space. It promises to lead him from the unsatisfying world of external consciousness into the depths of the silent Self. Aswapati finds himself in the hidden depths of the world's deep soul. He passes ...

... depends not only on the measures used, but on the consciousness and the position of the observer: moreover, each state of consciousness has a different Time relation; Time in Mind consciousness and Mind Space has not the same sense and measure of its movements as in physical Space; it moves there quickly or slowly according to the state of the consciousness. Each state of consciousness has its own Time... may be established by action of consciousness in its relation to status and motion of being: Time would seem to be purely subjective. But, in fact, Space also would appear by the mutual relation of Mind-Space and Matter-Space to be subjective; in other words, both are the original spiritual extension, but it is rendered by mind in its purity into a subjective mind-field and by sense-mind into an objective ...

... ess, the World-Soul. In the very beginning of the canto Sri Aurobindo gives in his inimitable poetic speech the symbolic picture of the World-Soul: In a far-shimmering background of Mind-Space A glowing mouth was seen, a luminous shaft; A recluse-gate it seemed, musing on joy, A veiled retreat and escape to mystery. Away from the unsatisfied surface world It fled ...

... to stand back as the witness Purusha and refuse the sanction—the thoughts are regarded as things coming from outside, from Prakriti, and they must be felt as if they were passers-by crossing the mind-space with whom one has no connection and in whom one takes no interest. In this way it usually happens that after a time the mind divides into two, a part which is the mental witness watching and perfectly ...

... Self. It seemed as if "to be was a prison, extinction the escape". CANTO XIV THE WORLD-SOUL In response to his seeking for an escape, Aswapathy saw in the background of mind-space a brilliant opening. It extended into the Unknown like "A well; a tunnel of the depths of God". There he felt "As one drawn to his lost spiritual home Feels now the closeness ...

Savitri       XIV   'The World-soul'         To the anxiously seeking eyes of Aswapati there now appears, "in a far-shimmering background of Mind-Space a glowing mouth...a luminous shaft...a recluse-gate...a veiled retreat...a tunnel of the depths of God." 128 This is a way out, this is an escape from the icy stare of immaculate Silence! ...

... which pervades everything. The question may be asked: how far does space extend ? You go from earth to the interstellar region, and then ? Do you think there is no other kind of space ? To my mind space is an extension of consciousness. Disciple : But extension is a property of Matter. Sri Aurobindo : Do you mean to say that when I get the experience of wide, extended consciousness ...

... "—Dante's Vila Nuova)   O Beatrice, one word's saluting grace  Breathed from your mystery-haunted flower-sweet Visage would have becalmed the passion-heat Vexing my vague mind's melancholy space. But dreams eternal beckoned to your gaze Down the grey curve of this Florentine street! Smileless you went; and I must turn my feet To seek your love beyond all earthly ...

... narrow thinking machine we call our mind; in fact, they come to us from a vast mental space or ether either as mind-waves or waves of mind-force that carry a significance which takes shape in our personal mind or as thought-formations ready-made which we adopt and call ours. Our outer mind is blind to this process of Nature; but by the awakening of the inner mind we can become aware of it. What you... horizon of the wide space of mental Nature. You felt this horizon to be in yourself somewhere, but evidently it was in that larger self-space which even in its more limited field just between the eyebrows you felt to be bigger than the corresponding physical space. In fact, though the inner mind spaces have horizons, they stretch beyond those horizons—illimitably. The inner mind is something very wide... follow. Your first experience is an opening into the inner mental self—the space between the eyebrows is the centre of the inner mind, vision, will and the blue light you saw was that of a higher mental plane, a spiritual mind, one might say, which is above the ordinary human mental intelligence. An opening into this higher mind is usually accompanied by a silence of the ordinary mental thought. Our thoughts ...
