... dropping to 99. As a doctor, I think, I am in a position to judge these things. X: Maybe all this happened, but how do you know it was Sri Aurobindo's Force that brought about this sudden change? Myself: Everybody knows here that Sri Aurobindo's Force is constantly acting on us with a tremendous power. Almost all of us have experienced it one time or another. D was brought here under the Mother's... deny the reality of this Force. Were you able to write with such vigour before you came here? X: Yes, I could work a lot; so much so that people were astounded! Was that Sri Aurobindo's Force? What is Sri Aurobindo's force? It is not a personal property of this body or mind. It is a higher Force used by me or acting through me. And Tagore, Lenin, etc. who are giants—is your Divine Force working... Try as I would, I could not convince him of its reality. Let me put before you the discussion in dialogue form as it actually took place. X: I just can't believe that D was cured by Sri Aurobindo's Force, unless I hear to this effect from Sri Aurobindo himself. Myself: But the facts and figures are there: they show quite clearly that something utterly miraculous happened—an abdominal abscess ...

I told him that Sri Aurobindo had written once clearly and categorically to Nirod on this very point. "The mistake is to think that it must be either a miraculous Force or none. There is no miraculous Force and I do not deal in miracles." And then: "What is Sri Aurobindo's Force? It is not a personal... Among the Great ) I had a wordy tussle with a sadhaka in the Ashram. In this instance he seemed to have caught something but I thought he was expressing himself badly when he claimed that "Sri Aurobindo's Force" could not be called "invisible" since it translated itself in "visible changes" even in the outer nature of many an aspirant. So I wrote to Gurudev Page 100 requesting him to ...

... Mother and Sri Aurobindo knew his temperament very well and instructed me to look after him with a large consideration as they themselves had always done. He was turned into a fine poet by Sri Aurobindo's Force. I wonder how with such a poor health he managed to do Yoga. That, however, is none of my business. Failing to diagnose his illness, I called in other doctors, and as is often the case, opinions ...

... 1945 was another indication of the inner nature of the world conflict. The Ashram at Pondicherry was inwardly in the thick of this fight, although superficially out of it; and the Mother's and Sri Aurobindo's force had been active all the time, and sometimes with decisive results. Now that the Enemy was vanquished at last, the Mother gave a prayer on 15 August: The Victory has come, Thy Victory, O ...

We see that Sri Aurobindo’s Force continued to work through his beloved... These letters from the Master, shine the Divine Light in our earthly life. Sri Aurobindo had assured his Dilip (16.5.1932), that “you do not belong to yourself – you belong to the Divine and myself and the Mother. I have cherished you like a friend and a son and poured on you my force to develop your powers – to make an equal development in the Yoga....” Through the years this... need not go back: Sri Aurobindo and the Mother were willing to accept her as a disciple. But Janak Kumari insisted that being a novice, she needed day to day guidance and Sri Dilip Kumar was her Guru. Sri Aurobindo may have smiled at the thought of Dilip’s dismay but sided with Janak Kumari and wrote to Dilip that she was right, and he was her Guru and he (Sri Aurobindo) will work on her through ...
... which might make his work more difficult? Sri Aurobindo : This force does not believe in Divine descent, but it is a sort of challenge that, "I will finish my first decisive victory before August 15th". That shows the nature of the conflict. Disciple : It does not seem to be only one being. It seems to be a camp. Sri Aurobindo : yes. But this is the leading (spirit). That... Evening Talks with Sri Aurobindo May, 1940 20th May, 1940 Disciple : Why Hitler says that he wants to finish this campaign before August 15th*?

And because it is such, it is not only inexhaustible, not only possessed of a vast and happy patience but also free from rigidity and one-sidedness and capable of meeting every demand, every change of circumstance and leading assuredly to the previsioned goal. That is why Sri Aurobindo has said: ... us their perfect instruments. In more concrete terms we may say that our entire self and nature have to flow towards the Avatar of that Godhead — Sri Aurobindo — and the incarnation of that Mother — the radiant personality who has been Sri Aurobindo's co-worker. "Co-worker" — the word is apposite in a special sense, for it points to the importance of work in the Integral Yoga. It is by...

The Mantra, with its haunting thrill of a sovereign revelation, brings an all-harmonising calm: it is — in the accents of another Mantra from a short poem by Sri Aurobindo — Force one with unimaginable rest. 2 A remarkable technical trait of the phrase about "sight's sound-waves" is that seven out of the ten syllables making up the line are intrinsically long vowels... eyes Approached him armed with beauty like a snare, But hid a fatal meaning in each line And could in a moment dangerously change. 1 At the other pole of the entities vivified by Sri Aurobindo is the Master himself as seen by a disciple-poet: 1.

... so much? SRI AUROBINDO: It was his vital opening to the Force I gave him. NIRODBARAN: And spiritual? SRI AUROBINDO: Very mixed. NIRODBARAN: Then you gave him the Force for the vital? SRI AUROBINDO: I gave it for both. SATYENDRA: But his vital opened. SRI AUROBINDO: Yes, it was an opening into a larger consciousness, the cosmic vital, the force for action and movement. It was all... Mother's Force. SRI AUROBINDO: Why shouldn't it be? NIRODBARAN: You said vital force. SRI AUROBINDO: Yes, force acting through the vital. It is the vital-physical force; being nearer the physical it has a more powerful effect in such cases. One can cure by mental power also, but that requires more power of concentration. PURANI ( smiling, from behind ): Nirod wants such a force! SRI AUROBINDO:... her. CHAMPAKLAL: Isn't it the same? SRI AUROBINDO: Read it. Nirodbaran read the letter and there were instances of Rao's miraculous cures of madness, snakebites, etc., by using the Mother's Force, by the stretching of his right and left hands.

SRI AUROBINDO: What kind of being? NIRODBARAN: Universal being. SRI AUROBINDO: Yes, it may be the action of a universal being or force. We see the force as a movement. NIRODBARAN: Sometimes people on their... But the force that is manifested through a being is its own force. SRI AUROBINDO: The force that is manifested through the being is the universal force and the being is part of the universal support from the universal being. Both derive their support from the universal or the Supreme. SATYENDRA: We want to know if the attacks of diseases on people are attacks of forces or of beings. SRI AUROBINDO:... behind them? SRI AUROBINDO: They are directed by the universal or the Supreme Being. The consciousness comes from the universal which is ultimately directed by the Supreme. PURANI: Are they individualised? SRI AUROBINDO: What do you mean by that? They are universal forces. For instance, the universal force of love seizes upon a man and he becomes a lover. When the force leaves him, he ceases ...
... forces of oneself be drawn out when one is in contact with the Divine? Sri Aurobindo : The force that supports the work, the vital force, is different from the Divine Consciousness. Disciple : Do you remember one Kulkarni who came and was complaining that his vital force was being drawn out? Sri Aurobindo : Yes. He was surrounding by forces of disintegration, chaos, disaster and... Evening Talks with Sri Aurobindo 15th January, 1939 Sri Aurobindo opened the topic by referring to a letter from an American.

The man wants sporting items, and "predictions". He... doubter" in him met Upen Banerjee at Calcutta and asked Upen whether he believes in God. Sri Aurobindo : What did Upen say?

... power can hardly enter. To open to the Mother is to turn our consciousness to her, to open windows, so to say, on the infinite, and let her Force stream in. Describing the opening, Sri Aurobindo says, "To be open is simply to be so turned to the Mother that her Force can work in you without anything refusing or obstructing her action.

Sri Aurobindo: “There is one force only, the Mother’s force – or, if you like to put it like that, the Mother is Sri Aurobindo’s Force.”) “Sri Aurobindo and I are always one and the same consciousness, one and the same person.” 60 “When in your heart and thought you will make no difference between Sri Aurobindo and me, when to think of Sri Aurobindo will be to think of me... ies, among them Kali or Durga, were great warriors. She carried above her eye the scar of an occult battle. And did Sri Aurobindo not call the Second World War “the Mother’s War”? Of Mahakali, Sri Aurobindo wrote: “There is in her an overwhelming intensity, a mighty passion of force to achieve, a divine violence rushing to shatter every limit and obstacle. All her divinity leaps out in a splendour... think of Sri Aurobindo inevitably, when to see one will mean inevitably to see the other, like one and the same Person – then you will know that you begin to open to the supramental force and consciousness.” 61 And at one time she unified in writing both their names in the mantric formula “mothersriaurobindo is my refuge”. 62 All this is of crucial importance because the mission of Sri Aurobindo ...
... aspects of Its being in a male and female body. ‘Mother and I are one but in two bodies,’ wrote Sri Aurobindo, and: ‘The Mother and myself stand for the same Power in two forms.’ He would stress: ‘There is one force only, the Mother’s force – or, if you like to put it like that, the Mother is Sri Aurobindo’s Force,’ in other words his Shakti. 31 And the Mother would pithily formulate the essence of their... take Sri Aurobindo as her ‘Lord,’ that she would take himself instead. His outbursts of frustration and anger became so violent that at times he threw the furniture through the window or took Mirra by the throat, strangling her.

Richard’s relationship with Mirra and with Sri Aurobindo now reached a critical point.

The time had come for Sri Aurobindo and Mirra’s definite collaboration, ‘the seal had been put ...

Still, when such a great opportunity had arrived I didn’t want it to go by easily. I consented, knowing that I could draw upon the Mother and Sri Aurobindo’s force. Sri Aurobindo gave his consent and I started with great zeal. Often I had to seek his help regarding many points. I quote here a few instances of the verbal exchanges. “Your ‘In Horis Aeternum’... So I wrote about it to Sri Aurobindo and he replied: “...As you have opened yourself to the Force and made yourself a channel for the energy of work, it is quite natural that when you wanted to do this musical work the Force should flow and act in the way that is wanted or the way that is needed and for the effect that is needed. When one has made oneself a channel, the Force is not necessarily bound ...
... to treat here adequately of Sri Aurobindo's spiritual force. Suffice it to say that as a result of his sadhana .Sri Aurobindo had attained not only the Peace, Light and Bliss of the Divine, but also mastery of the Divine's dynamic Energy. With this Energy Sri Aurobindo was able to bring about concrete results on the material plane; indeed, "the invisible Force producing tangible results... Sri Aurobindo and the Mother's Samadhi Sri Aurobindo Ashram called it, was over. On 16 August 1945 The Mother issued the following declaration: "The Victory has come.

Quite a few of Sri Aurobindo's disciples who had never written a single line of poetry before they joined the Ashram and opened themselves to Sri Aurobindo's spiritually creative Force, became very good poets in course... months' stay in the Ashram he could open himself to Sri Aurobindo's Yogic Force and 'a sudden Brahmaputra of inspiration' gripped him and his new poetical compositions reached in quality a remarkable height and profundity. Nirodbaran wondered and wondered, and then asked Nishikanto for the secret. Here is how he reported the matter to Sri Aurobindo: NB: Nishikanto says that before writing... he... secret, why, I shall bow a hundred times, Sir! Sri Aurobindo: It depends on how you bow. Page 203 NB: Methinks it does not depend on it. Even if it did I don't think Nishikanto knows it. Or was it in his past life that he knew it? Sri Aurobindo: Well, there is a certain faculty of effacing oneself and letting the Universal Force run through you - that is the way of bowing. It can ...

On his part, Motilal visited Pondicherry as often as he could during the difficult period of Sri Aurobindo's early stay and helped by sending money etc. from Chandernagore. There is no doubt that Sri Aurobindo put a special force on Motilal to mould him into a fit instrument...

After a period of vacillation he eventually left on August 10, in spite of Sri Aurobindo's advice to him ...

As regards poetry, my point is that Force and inspiration are there, but effort also exists... [Sri Aurobindo underlined "Force", "inspiration" and "effort also exists". What then? ...and on many occasions I find that the effort predominates overmuch. Much too much! ... disbelieve an experience. [Sri Aurobindo underlined "if any".] I said you did not believe in the knowledge given by those who have the experience—you want a how that agrees with your own lack of knowledge and lack of experience.

Sri Aurobindo : Yes, If you have a will sufficiently strong for the purpose. It may take some time before the response comes, Page 109 Disciple : When there are many Supermen, what language will they use ? Or would they use the same language and convey more meaning and force ? Sri Aurobindo : It is not necessary to be Supermen... Sri Aurobindo : Yes. It demands a mental faith which is the anticipation of the knowledge that is coming. Vital faith anticipates the effectuation that is coming. Faith in the physical anticipates what is going to be realised. Disciple : Is there a difference between effectuation and realisation? Sri Aurobindo : Yes, there is a difference. Effectuation is the work of force, realisation ...
