ને ફળિત બને લક્ષ્ય ...

મસ્તિષ્ક ઉર્ધ્વે જીવાત્મા ને દેહમધ્યે ચૈત્ય

ભીતરે સુભગ સમન્વય એ જીવન લક્ષ્ય.

બંને જાગ્રત થવા, ભૂમિકા ધરવા યોગ્ય

ને સર્વ સંચાલન દેહ કાજે, પ્રતિ એ જ લક્ષ્ય.

જીવાત્મા, ભવોથી સ્થિત, સ્થિર, ધીર અનન્ય

પરમઆત્મા થકી પોષિત, સ્થાપિત લક્ષિત લક્ષ્ય.

ચૈત્યને ઉદ્દેશ મળે જ્યાં જ્યારે તક ઉત્ક્રાંતક,

જાગ્રત અજાગ્રત ભલે, જાણે ફળદ્રુપ લક્ષ્ય.

પૂર્ણયોગથી પ્રજ્વળે નિષ્ઠા અભીપ્સા અર્પણ

જગાવે અભિગમ, જીવનીક્રમ તદ્રુપ લક્ષ્ય,

ખુલ્લું વલણ, સભાન સમર્પણ, શ્રદ્ધા નિરંતર

ખોલે રસ્તો, નજીક ખેંચી લાવે પ્રમાણ લક્ષ્ય.

વર્ચસ્વે ચૈત્ય કે જીવાત્મા, જે તે તૈયારીરૂપ

કે પાધરા બેઉ, બેઉનાં સંગમ થકી પૂર્તિ લક્ષ્ય.

આધાર જો પચાવી, ધરી શકે મૂળ સ્ત્રોત પૂર્ણ 

પ્રભુ પોતે બિરાજે સ્થાને જીવાત્મા, ને ફળિત બને લક્ષ્ય.

પ્રભુ...તવ ચરણે...

Pavitra: What is the difference between the psychic being behind the heart-centre and the central being above the head? Are they two beings or one single being ?

Sri Aurobindo: 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: You spoke of two ways. One direct to the the supermind through the mind, the other by the opening of the psychic being. Are they really two different paths ? And what are their characteristics?

Sri Aurobindo: Yes, there are two movements. Sometimes the mind opens first to the light and the supermind works then through the mind and uses the machinery of mind. Sometimes the psychic being, which is always behind — without a psychic aspiration nothing in this Yoga is possible — comes forward. There is then no mental illumination, but a burning fire which turns the whole being upwards. It makes then the progress easy. Afterwards of course the whole machinery of nature is also directed from above, but the mental movement is not the chief one.

*Pavitra. Conversations with Sri Aurobindo

The true aim of life is to find the Divine's Presence deep within oneself and to surrender to it so that it takes the lead of the life, all the feelings and all the actions of the body. This gives a true and luminous aim to existence. TM
