... with the One ...

When one is one with the One

The one is home every where...

When one is submerged in the One

The one is in network every where...

When one is union with the One

The one is ocean every where...

When one is in system of the One

The one is above conditions every where.

When one is reservoir of the The One

The one is dispersing unit every where...

When one is beholder of the One

The one is the host every where...

When one is in bliss of the One

The one is blissful every where...

Thank you...Lord!

A vast Unknown is round us and within; 
All things are wrapped in the dynamic One: 
A subtle link of union joins all life. 
Thus all creation is a single chain:

Significance: Vital Aspiration for the Union with the Divine
It raises straight up in an intense and concentrated movement.

... can not be the reference ...

Past can not be the reference

Not even the present much

When the march is upwards...

The future's fresh paradigms 

Never even, at all, be similar

That journey opens to new ones...

No experience is ever repeater

If not new, no point or purpose

Surely the grounding for the another...

Reference, experience, occurrence 

There to firm up the fundamentals

May have hints but never actuals...

Never search for what all to happen...

Let that be virgin of confirmation

In-store comes up with its own flavour...

Enjoy the present...

Respect the past...

Be child like for future...

O Lord! Let the time reveal your reference...

Thank you...

This is the new adventure to which Sri Aurobindo calls us, an adventure into man's unknown. Whether we like it or not the whole earth is passing into a new groove, but why shouldn't we like it? Why shouldn't we collaborate in this great, unprecedented adventure? Why shouldn't we collaborate in our own evolution instead of repeating the same old story a thousand times, instead of chasing hallucinatory heavens which will never quench our thirst or otherwordly paradises which leave the earth to rot along with our bodies? "Why should life have begun at all if it is only to be climbed out of?" exclaims the Mother, She who continues Sri Aurobindo's work. "What is the use of having struggled so much, suffered so much, of having created something which, in its outer appearance at least is so tragic, so dramatic, if it is only to learn how to climb out of it - it would have been better if it had not been started at all …

Evolution is not a tortuous path which brings us back, somewhat battered, to the starting-point. It exists ", says the Mother, "quite on the contrary, in order to teach the whole of creation the joy of being, the beauty of being, the grandeur of being, the majesty of a sublime life and the perpetual development, perpetually progressive, of this joy, this beauty, this grandeur. Then everything has a meaning. " [Talks/Questions and Answers 1958: 12.11.58

And Sri Aurobindo says: "Nor let worldly prudence whisper too closely in thy ear; for it is the hour of the unexpected." [The Hour of God, p. 4]

…Behind this childish, restless, easily exhausted vital, we will find a quiet and powerful vital–what Sri Aurobindo calls the true vital–that contains the very essence of the Life Force devoid of its sentimental and painful byproducts. We enter a state of peaceful, spontaneous concentration, like the sea beneath the movement of the waves. This underlying stillness is not a dulling of the nerves, any more than mental silence is a numbing of the brain; it is a basis for action. It is a concentrated power capable of initiating any action, of withstanding any shock, even the most violent and prolonged, without losing its poise. Depending on the degree of our development, all kinds of new capacities can emerge from this vital immobility, but first of all we feel an inexhaustible energy; any fatigue is a sign that we have fallen back into the superficial turmoil. The capacity for work or even physical effort increases tenfold. Food and sleep are no longer the single and all-absorbing source of energy renewal. (The nature of sleep changes, as we will see, and food can be reduced to an hygienic minimum.) Other powers, often considered “miraculous,” may also manifest, but they are miracles with a method; we will not attempt to discuss them here, as it is better to experience them directly. Let us simply say that one who has become capable of controlling a certain vital vibration in himself is automatically capable of controlling the same vibration anywhere he meets it in the world. Further, in this stillness, another sign will appear permanently: the absence of suffering and a kind of inalterable joy. When an ordinary person receives a blow, whether physical or moral, his immediate reaction is to double up in pain; he contracts and begins to seethe inside, increasing the pain tenfold. On the contrary, the seeker who has established some immobility within himself will find that this immobility dissolves all shocks, because it is wide; because the seeker is no longer a small constricted person, but a consciousness overflowing the limits of its body. Like the silent mind, the quieted vital universalizes itself spontaneously: In yoga experience the consciousness widens in every direction, around, below, above, in each direction stretching to infinity. When the consciousness of the yogi becomes liberated, it is not in the body but in this infinite height, depth and wideness that he lives always.
...

Finally, when we have mastered vital immobility, we find that we can begin to help others with some effectiveness. For helping others has nothing to do with sentimentality or charity; it is a matter of power, of vision, of joy. In this tranquillity, we possess not only a contagious joy but a vision that dispels the shadows. We spontaneously perceive all vibrations; and distinguishing what they are enables us to manipulate them, quiet them, avert or even alter them. Tranquillity, says Mother, is a very positive state; there is a positive peace which is not the opposite of strife–an active and contagious and powerful peace, which subdues and calms, straightens and puts things in their place. We will give an example of this “contagious peace”, although it belongs to a somewhat later stage in Sri Aurobindo’s life. It was in Pondicherry, many years ago, in the season when tropical rains and sometimes cyclones sweep down suddenly and bring devastation. Doors and windows have to be barricaded with thick bamboo laths. That night, a cyclone erupted with torrents of rain, and Mother hurried to Sri Aurobindo’s room to help him shut his windows. He was seated at his table, writing (for years Sri Aurobindo spent twelve hours a day writing, from six in the evening till six in the morning, then eight hours walking up and down “for the yoga”). The windows were wide open, but not a drop of rain had come inside his room. The peace that reigned there, recalls Mother, was so solid, so compact, that the cyclone could not enter.

Significance: Spiritual Awakening of the Vital

It soars towards the heights in the hope of reaching them.

What is the point then?

What is the point then? 

Gruges or hatred 

Only for this life to survive.

Ignore or neglect

Only effective for this life!

Judge or discriminate 

Only upto this life time!

Punish or diminish 

Only till this life, can revive.

However severely exercised

Just 'this' much is the life line!

Why for then?

Winding up can be any time...

Thank you Lord for the precious life...

POWER
Power means strength and force, Shakti, which enables one to face all that can happen and to stand and overcome, also to carry out what the Divine Will proposes. It can include many things, power over men, events, circumstances, means etc. But all this not of the mental or vital kind, but by an action through unity of consciousness with the Divine and with all things and all beings. It is not an individual-strength depending on certain personal capacities, but the Divine Power using the individual as an instrument.

Force is the essential Shakti; Energy is the working drive of the Force, its active dynamism; Power is the capacity born of the Force; Strength is energy consolidated and stored in the Adhar.

All the planes have their own power, beauty, some kind of perfection realised even among their imperfections; God is everywhere in some power of Himself though not everywhere in His full power, and even if His face does not appear, the rays and glories from it do fall upon things and beings through the veil and bring something of what we call perfect and absolute.

Power is the sign of the Divine influence in creation.

Life ... In zeal, in zillions to live ...

Life! Itself is the Divine will

To have it and to fully live!

The sequence of chronology 

To grow in and age with it!

The body and the system bodily

To live in unnoticeable organic!

With a knowing that certainly

To die down to once more repeat!

In zeal, in zillions to live

To create marvel with its own zing!

Each one with a drive to par exceed

What else can than the Supreme Will...

Thank you...

Our being must move eternally through Time; 
Death helps us not, vain is the hope to cease; 
A secret Will compels us to endure. 
Our life's repose is in the Infinite; 
It cannot end, its end is Life supreme

BOOK II: The Book of the Traveller of the Worlds 197

In strange directions runs the intricate plan; 
Held back from human foresight is their end 
And the far intention of some ordering Will 
Or the order of life's arbitrary Chance

Finds out its settled poise and fated hour. 
Our surface watched in vain by reason's gaze, 
Invaded by the impromptus of the unseen, 
Helpless records the accidents of Time, 
The involuntary turns and leaps of life.

BOOK VII: The Book of Yoga 482 483

The will is a part of the consciousness and ought to be in human beings the chief agent in controlling the activities of the nature. SA

Will is the power of consciousness turned towards effectuation. The Divine Will is the will expressing the highest Truth TM

When I speak of the Divine Will, I mean . . . something that has descended here into an evolutionary world of Ignorance, standing at the back of things, pressing on the Darkness with its Light, leading things presently towards the best possible in the conditions of a world of Ignorance and leading it eventually towards a descent of a greater power of the Divine, which will be not an omnipotence held back and conditioned by the law of the world as it is, but in full action and therefore bringing the reign of light, peace, harmony, joy, love, beauty and Ananda, for these are the Divine Nature.

A Spirit who is no one and innumerable, 
The one mystic infinite Person of his world 
Multiplies his myriad personality, 
On all his bodies seals his divinity's stamp 
And sits in each immortal and unique. 
The Immobile stands behind each daily act, 
A background of the movement and the scene, 
Upholding creation on its might and calm 
And change on the Immutable's deathless poise.

Significance: Lasting Remembrance
The remembrance of that which has helped the being to progress.

No repeaters!

No repeaters!

There is not a single repeater

Each one is of own life creator.

Each on mission with succession 

Not here to live life of ancestors.

The life lived by of elders, parents

Lived away by respective owner!

No more a button of account to settle

Percolate in children of next generation.

No soul is ment to carry baggage other's

Each one is here to fulfill own purpose.

Why on earth would one live old such!

Repeate life of hundreds or fifty years?

Respect each, be grateful for all sort!

Refrain from copying. Indeed important.

Dig deep! In There! The engine of search!

Shows the way to the journey contributor!

Lord Divine...be the guide for all...

Thank you...

A glorious multiple of one radiant Self, 
Answering to joy with joy, to love with love, 
All there were moving mansions of God-bliss; 
Eternal and unique they lived the One.

BOOK II: The Book of the Traveller of the Worlds 298

There was no second, it had no partner or peer;
Only itself was real to itself.

…

One and unique, unutterably sole.

BOOK III: The Book of the Divine Mother 308

There were no contraries, no sundered parts, 
All by spiritual links were joined to all 
And bound indissolubly to the One: 
Each was unique, but took all lives as his own,

BOOK III: The Book of the Divine Mother 323

Appearance looked back to its hidden truth 
And made of difference oneness' smiling play; 
It made all persons fractions of the Unique, 
Yet all were being's secret integers.

Of a refined beauty, sufficient to itself.

... સંતાન દર ...

પ્રજનન આધાર છે.

રંગસૂત્રોની કમાલ છે.

સંતતિ સર્વે સમાન છે.

સંતાન દર આવિર્ભાવ છે.

અનન્ય ને અજાણ છે.

મહીં અભિન્ન આવિષ્કાર છે.

પ્રત્યેક અજોડ પેદાશ છે.

સંતાન શાશ્વત ઉત્થાન છે.

શક્યતા ને સંભાવ છે.

વાતાવરણથી ઉઘાડ છે.

પરવરિશ ખંતીલો સિંચાવ છે.

સંતાન ઉત્કર્ષ ઉત્ક્રાંત છે.

ગોઠવણ ઈશ્વરી સૌગાદ છે.

અલૌકિકનું લૌકિક પ્રમાણ છે.

દિવ્યદત્ત દિવ્ય અવકાશ છે.

સંતાન ઉદ્ધારક ઉદ્દઘાટ છે.

સમય આવ્યો છે સંતતિજન્યથી વધીને જાગૃત થવાનો...

જાગૃતિમાં સભાન થવાનો અને દીકરી કે દીકરાથી ઊપર ઊઠવાનો...

પર થવાનું છે સંતાન સંબંધી ધારણાઓ, ઈચ્છાઓ, અભરખાઓ અને નિયંત્રિત કરતી લાગણીઓથી...

પાલ્ય થઈને જવાબદારી અને સભાન ફરજ પુરી પાડવાની છે.

પ્રજનન, બાળ જન્મ વિગેરે વ્યવસ્થા શારીરિક અને કુદરતી છે. જાણકારી, સમજદાર મા-બાપ તરીકે કશુંક વધું, અ-રુઢિગત આપવાનું છે. 

દરેક બાળ વિશેષ છે અને એક સ્વતંત્ર અસ્તિત્વ છે. પોતીકી વૃદ્ધિ માટેની પૂરી વ્યવસ્થા સાથે જીવનમાં છે.

એને સવલતો અને સુરક્ષાની જરૂર છે. જે પૂરતી ફરજ પાલ્યના ભાગે આવેલી છે. 

એ ઊગતી જિંદગીને જો યોગ્ય ખુલ્લો અને સાફ ઊછેર મળે તો ક્ષમતા અને એ જેને માટે છે તે પૂરી રીતે પોષીત થઈ શકે.

એ પાક વ્યક્તિત્વ પછી વધુ ઉમદા કાર્યોમાં જોડાઈ શકે.

મોટેભાગે જીવન સમજ મેળવવામાં અને ત્યારપછી એ માટે સ્વચ્છ થવામાં જ ખર્ચાઈ જતું હોય છે.

પ્રભુ દર બાળકને રાહની ભાળ બક્ષે...
