Copperleaf
Significance: Continuity
To know how to persist in one's effort.
Vital Continuity
Rich, abundant, persistent.
Physical continuity
Prolongs and prolongs itself and never comes to an end.

Material Continuity
Powerful, enduring, solid.

In centrality ...

The Love, in itself is the existence.

From the Divine, the base principle.

The creative flow of the Creator.

The central purpose of every proprietor.

The Love, here, is a human emotion.

A game of interchange between the blinders.

The 'legit' reason for procreation.

In centrality, sheer possession.

The Love, happily allows gradations,

For various objectives, plentiful results.

If wills, for human to divine succession,

The receiver is made to overcome every blinkers.

Love...Powerful!

The current, the stream, the 'IS' owner...

Thank you...

Divine Love ... is again not something ethereal, cold and far, but a love absolutely intense, intimate and full of unity, closeness and rapture using all the nature for its expression.

For there is, concealed behind individual love, obscured by its ignorant human figure, a mystery which the mind cannot seize, the mystery of the body of the Divine, the secret of a mystic form of the Infinite which we can approach only through the ecstasy of the heart and the passion of the pure and sublimated sense, and its attraction which is the call of the divine Flute-player, the mastering compulsion of the All-Beautiful, can only be seized and seize us through an occult love and yearning which in the end makes one the Form and the Formless, and identifies Spirit and Matter. It is that which the spirit in Love is seeking here in the darkness of the Ignorance and it is that which it finds when individual human love is changed into the love of the Immanent Divine incarnate in the material universe. SA

For me sadhana consists in loving the Divine more and more integrally, more and more absolutely, with a love so total that it leads to identification.

There is only one true love, the love from the Divine, which, in human beings, turns into love for the Divine. TM

વિશુદ્ધિમાં ચકરાય શબ્દો, ઉચ્ચારો

ને સ્વરપેટીમાંથી ફૂટ્યો હોય રાફડો

એમ મસ્તિષ્ક ભીતર અથડાયા કરે વાતો.

ક્યાંક ધરબાઈને સંકોચાયેલા પ્રસંગો 

કે સંતાડાઈને સચવાયેલાં ભૂતકાળો 

કે સ્પંદન ઊગવતાં મૃતપાય સમીકરણો

બધાં જ જીવંત થઈ મચાવ્યાં કરે દેકારો.

ક્યાંક ફળીભૂત થવાં તત્પર ઇચ્છાઓ 

કે લાભ શોધતાં ક્ષણભંગૂર પ્રલોભનો

...the physical consciousness in everybody is like that. It is inert, conservative, does not want to move, to change — it clings to its habits (what people call their character) or its habits (habitual movements) cling to it and repeat themselves like a clock working in a persistent mechanical way. When you have cleared your vital somewhat, things go down and stick there. You see, if you have become self-conscious, you put pressure, perhaps, but the physical responds very slowly, hardly at first it seems to move at all. The remedy is aspiration steady and unchanging, patient work, the psychic in the physical, calling down the light and force into these obscure parts. The light brings the consciousness of what is there; the force has to follow and work on them till they change or disappear.

...

The physical is the slave of certain forces which create a habit and drive it through the mechanical power of the habit. So long as the mind gives consent, you do not notice the slavery; but if the mind withdraws its consent, then you feel the servitude, you feel a force pushing you in spite of the mind's will. It is very obstinate and repeats itself till the habit, the inner habit revealing itself in the outward act, is broken. It is like a machine which once set in motion repeats the same movement. You need not be alarmed or distressed; a quiet persistent aspiration will bring you to the point where the habit breaks and you are free.

...
The habit in the physical is obstinate and seems unchangeable because it always recurs — even when one thinks it is gone. But it is not really unchangeable; if the physical mind detaches itself, stands separate, refuses to accept it, then the habit in the physical begins to lose its force of repetition. Sometimes it goes slowly, sometimes (but this is less frequent) it stops suddenly and recurs no more.

Flower Name: Turnera subulata
West Indian holly, Sage rose, Yellow alder

Significance: Awakening of the Physical Mind
It wants to know and opens itself wide in order to understand.

Essential but not inevitable!

Succumb or overcome

Escape or express to differ 

Reject or settle to choose

The ways in which the nature roots.

Being a person 'the human'

Resort in progressive outcome

If possible, then of course in escalation 

The same nature also in within runs.

Whatever is the decision

Or the approach adopted or altered 

It's like bonds of the elements chemical 

Whichever got an invite, forms together.

Then, be the one who attracts suspension 

Who can rule out the nature's dominance, 

Who is steady healthy in integral harmonization,

Who is above or over nature's roller coaster...

 

The nature essential but not driver inevitable!

Thank you...

The great World-Mother by her sacrifice
Has made her soul the body of our state;
Accepting sorrow and unconsciousness
Divinity's lapse from its own splendours wove
The many-patterned ground of all we are.

* Savitri

BOOK II: The Book of the Traveller of the Worlds 99

The Divine's sacrifice is the descent of the Divine into the obscurity of the unconsciousness.

The manifestation of the love of the Divine in the world was the great holocaust, the supreme self-giving. The Perfect Consciousness accepted to be merged and absorbed into the unconsciousness of matter, so that consciousness might be awakened in the depths of its obscurity and little by little a Divine Power might rise in it and make the whole of this manifested universe a highest expression of the Divine Consciousness and the Divine love. TM

The law of sacrifice is the common divine action that was thrown out into the world in its beginning as a symbol of the solidarity of the universe. It is by the attraction of this law that a divinising, a saving power descends to limit and correct and gradually to eliminate the errors of an egoistic and self-divided creation. This descent, this sacrifice of the Purusha, the Divine Soul submitting itself to Force and Matter so that it may inform and illuminate them, is the seed of redemption of this world of Inconscience and Ignorance. SA

Flower Name: Punica granatum
Pomegranate

Significance: Divine Sacrifice
For the Divine it is not a supreme sacrifice to renounce the beatitude of His unity in order to create the painful multiplicity of the world?

Just keep doing ...

Live your part, sincerely and straight 

Just keep doing that with an intend

Let the rest remain whatever, the way, 

The universe knows to align at best!

Everything becomes scribe, gets noted

The imprints, though invisible are there

Keeps account well and well maintained 

The universe has the mechanism best.

If lived the part with the Lord in witness

From the thread from him, in his interest

Follow that lead and genuinely his steps

The universe can't help but all for, for the Lord's best!

Do not worry but

Do wonder the universe...

The Lord be with all always...

Thank you...

Whatever is our work and whatever we do, we must do it sincerely, honestly, scrupulously, not in view of any personal profit, but as an offering to the Divine, with an entire consecration of our being. If this attitude is sincerely kept in all circumstances, whenever we need to learn something to do the work more effectively, the occasion to acquire this knowledge comes to us and we have only to take advantage of the opportunity.
If in the work you meet with some difficulties, look sincerely into yourself and there you will discover their origin.

The difficulties in work come not from circumstances or petty outer occurrences, they come from something which is wrong in the inner attitude, especially in the vital attitude: egoism, [old p. 332]ambition, fixity of mental conceptions regarding work, vanity, etc. And it is always good, in order to correct the disharmony, to look for the cause in oneself rather than in others.
19 April 1938

To recognise the presence of a "disharmonious atmosphere" is useful only so far as it wakes in each one the will to change it into a harmonious atmosphere and to do that the first important step is for each one to get out of his own limited point of view in order to understand the point of view of others. It is more important for each one to find the mistake in himself than to insist on the mistake of others.

It is only in harmonious collaboration that effective work can be done.

The important thing is to find the point on which you can all agree--and after this is firmly established, each one must be ready to yield his personal will in order to keep intact this point of harmony.
29 March 1966

When we have to work collectively, it is always better to insist, in our thoughts, feelings and actions, on the points of agreement rather than on the points of divergence.

We must give importance to the things that unite and ignore, as much as possible, those that separate.

Even when physically the lines of work differ, the union can remain intact and constant if we keep always in mind the essential points and principles which unite, and the Divine Goal, the Realisation which must be the one unchanging object of our aspiration and works.

Your work can never be good if you go on thinking of the next thing. For work, it is the present that is most important. The past should not drag you behind, the future should not pull you forward. You must be fully concentrated on the present, on what you are doing. You must be so concentrated on what you are doing that it is as if the salvation of the whole world depended only upon your work.

* Collected Works of The Mother, First Edition,

Volume 14, pp. 319-348

Those who are not straightforward cannot profit by the Mother's help, for they themselves turn it away. Unless they change, they cannot hope for the descent of the supramental Light and Truth into the lower vital and physical nature; they remain stuck in their own self-created mud and cannot progress.

Naturally, from one point of view, they are one. But your being, though one, is composed of many distinct beings. Just as your mental being is different from your physical or vital beings, so the psychic being, the soul, is different from the central being.

The psychic being is the transmitter which receives the light and transmits it to the lower personality. It is that which remains at the back and governs the personality. The psychic being is in direct communica­tion with the truth, which it organises and transmits to the outer being. The central being cannot organise the truth: it is above all evolution. It is the psychic being which develops spiritually through the different personalities.

*Pavitra. Conversations with Sri Aurobindo

The Jivatman, spark-soul and psychic being are three different forms of the same reality and they must not be mixed up together, as that confuses the clearness of the inner experience.

The Jivatman or spirit, as it is usually called in English, is self-existent above the manifested or instrumental being—it is superior to birth and death, always the same, the individual Self or Atman. It is the eternal true being of the individual.

The soul is a spark of the Divine which is not seated above the manifested being, but comes down into the manifestation to support its evolution in the material world. It is at first an undifferentiated power of the divine consciousness containing all possibilities which have not yet taken form, but to which it is the function of evolution to give form. This spark is there in all living beings from the lowest to the highest.

The psychic being is formed by the soul in its evolution. It supports the mind, vital, body, grows by their experiences, carries the nature from life to life. It is the psychic or chaitya purusha. At first it is veiled by mind, vital and body, but as it grows, it becomes capable of coming forward and dominating the mind, life and body; in the ordinary man it depends on them for expression and is not able to take them up and freely use them. The life of the being is animal or human and not divine. When the psychic being can by sadhana become dominant and freely use its instruments, then the impulse towards the Divine becomes complete and the transformation of mind, vital and body, not merely their liberation, becomes possible.

The Self or Atman being free and superior to birth and death the experience of the Jivatman and its unity with the supreme or universal Self brings the sense of liberation, it is this which is necessary for the supreme spiritual deliverance: but for the transformation of the life and nature the awakening of the psychic being and and its rule over the nature are indispensable.

The psychic being realises its oneness with the true being, the Jivatman, but it does not change into it.

The Central Being and the Soul

Flower Name: Viscum album
Mistletoe

Significance: Sign of the Spirit
The Spirit says, “I am here”.

Just shed!

Delete 'Hope' and 'Wait'

Rather offer the entire content,

Along with threads connected.

Hope has longing hidden there,

For some specific outcome at the end

Take away a small space, an occupant as!

Wait has compelling characteristic, strange!

Pressing, insistence for a particular way!

Occupies some amount of attention always!

Both are the mind created states. Just shed!

Nothing to hope for or worth a wait!

When wants to immerse in the Divine Delight straight.

Every moment full with abundance 'THAT'

THAT is in every now and just as

Believe, live and relieve in that power ultimate...

Thank you, Lord!

Straightaway your way!

“The past can be both a drag and a force
for progress. It is all that has created the present and a great part of the force that is creating the future. For the past is not dead; its forms are gone and had to go, otherwise the present would not have come into being: but its soul, its power, it essence lives veiled in the present and ever-accumulating, growing, deepening will live on in the future. Every human being holds in and behind him all the past of his own race, or humanity and of himself; these three things determine his starting point and pursue him through his life’s progress. It is in the force of this past, in the strength which its huge conservations give to him that he confronts the unillumined abysses of the future and plunges forward into the depths of its unrealized infinities. But also it is a drag, partly because man of the unknown to the old forms of which he is sue, the afraid old foundations which feel so safe under his feet, the old props round which so many of his attachments and associations cast their treacherous tendrils, but also partly because the forces of the past keep their careful hold on him so as to restrain him in his uncertain course and prevent the progress from becoming a precipitation.”

* Essays in Philosophy and Yoga, p.128.

“the past has not to be kept,-- one has to go into the future realization. All that is necessary in the past for the future will be taken up and given a new form.”

* Letters on Yoga III, Pondicherry:

Sri Aurobindo Ashram, 1995.

“To get rid of the past is something so
difficult that it seems almost impossible.”

* Collected Works of the Mother,

14th June, 1967, v.16 p.364

“So long as you have not learned the lesson the past had to teach you, it comes back on you. Notice carefully what kind of remembrances come, you will see that they are connected with some psychological movements in you that have to be got rid of. So you must be prepared to recognize that all was not right in you and is still not connected, not allow any vanity or self-righteousness to cloud your vision.”... “us has still not been corrected that is a painful one and so makes us cling to the past. We consciously or subconsciously try to justify our own feelings and actions and blame the other or the circumstances.”

* Letters on Yoga III, Pondicherry:

Sri Aurobindo Ashram, 1995

“Yes—one should always have one’s look turned forwards to the future—retrospection is seldom healthy as it turns one towards a past consciousness.”

* Letters on Yoga III, p.1713.

“Do not brood on the past but turn your face with a patient hope and confidence towards the future. To brood on past failure will prevent you from recovering your health and will weaken your mind and will, hampering them in the work of self conquest and rebuilding of the character.”
