The guarantor ...


No! Not a retaliator, not even an abuser.
The guarantor, the real game changer -
The emerging Goodwill spontaneous.

That emanation, that expression
Way powerful than any human gestures
Even humanly love is mild here.

That Goodwill is altogether so surreal,
Poured in and then poured out for better
This one is not from the domain human.

Sheer WELL wish from the heart bottom
For good of all from the ONE superior.
A blessing from the truth, a declaration.

O Human! Be happy and live with 
the Will-Goodwill forever...


This is not in a reference to a blabber wish, or just for the sake of saying or as a custom to respond or a conditioning that compels one to express half consciously...

This is a stage and a penetration of the element that is now within the being to stay...to sustain in every action...for permanence! 

No matter how others and circumstances push one to choose otherwise but one is in sheer bath of this GOODWILL and that is what goes out from the being, be it in form of thought, image, will and so on...

One knows clearly that, That to put out is must and automatic...will have its Will and will happen as and when and spontaneous.

And every time entire being is convinced and joyful to deliver joyfully...

Thank you...

All of us assembled in the hope of hearing something from Sri Aurobindo. But he did not seem to be in a talkative mood. So we were forced to keep quiet, thinking how to draw him into conversation. Suddenly we found Dr. Becharlal beaming with a smile and looking at him. Then he took a few steps nearer to Sri Aurobindo and we followed him. When he drew still closer he burst into a question.

Dr. Becharlal: To attain the right attitude, what principles should we follow in our dealing and behaviour with others?

Sri Aurobindo: It seems to me that one should go about it the other way round. If we have the right attitude other things come by themselves. But the right attitude is itself secondary. What is important is the inner state. Spiritual and ethical principles are quite different, for everything depends on whether it is done for the sake of the Spirit or for ethical reasons. One may observe mental control in his dealings, but his inner state may be quite different. For example, he may not show anger, but within he may be ruffled. In the true inner control the inner peace is not disturbed and goodwill towards others is retained. It is the psychic control that is required and when that is there the right attitude follows in one’s external behaviour. Conduct must flow from within outwards and the more one opens to the psychic influence, the more it gains over the outer nature. Mental control may or may not lead to the psychic control. In people of a sattwic type it may be the first step towards it.

Nirodbaran: How is the psychic control to be got?

Sri Aurobindo: By constant remembrance, consecration of oneself to the Divine, rejection of all that stands in the way of the psychic influence. Generally it is the vital being that stands in the way with its desires and demands. But once the psychic opens, it shows at every step what is to be done.




Soon after the Mother came in and all of us sat in meditation with her. On her departure about 7 p.m. Sri Aurobindo started the talk again.d

Sri Aurobindo: What’s the idea behind your question? Is it something personal or general?

Dr. Becharlal: I meant, for instance, how to see God in everybody, how to love all and have a goodwill for all?

Sri Aurobindo: One has to start with the idea of goodwill for all, to consecrate oneself to the Divine, try to see God in others, acquire a psychic control and reject in oneself all vital and mental impulses. On this basis one must proceed towards realisation. The idea must pass into experience. Once the realisation is there, everything becomes easy. But even then, it is easy in the static aspect. When it comes to the dynamic expression it becomes difficult. Thus, when one finds a man behaving like a brute, it is very difficult to see God in him, unless one separates him from his outer nature and sees the Divine behind.

One can also repeat the name of the Divine and come to a divine consciousness.
