Puducherry, Feb 21 (PTI) Hundreds of devotees from all over the country visited the Aurobindo Ashram here today and offered prayers on the 138th birth anniversary of 'The Mother'.

They later sat in mass meditation before the samadhis (memorials) of 'The Mother' and Sri Aurobindo, her spiritual mentor.

Ashram sources said the devotees were also allowed to visit the rooms of savants, where they carried out their spiritual experiments.

Sri Aurobindo established the Ashram in 1926 and expounded the theory of integral yoga.

'The Mother' collaborated with him in his spiritual experiments.

While Sri Aurobindo passed away on December 5, 1950, 'The Mother' breathed her last on November 17, 1973.

She established an International Education Centre in 1956.

Doubt, dishonesty, falsehoods, and certitude of the Divine

Mother's Agenda

http://incarnateword.in/agenda/05/may-14-1964

Through repeated, everyday experience, I am increasingly convinced that all disorders in the body and all diseases are the result of DOUBT in the cells or a certain group of cells. They doubt the Divine’s concrete reality, they doubt the Divine Presence in them, they doubt their being divine in their very essence, and this doubt is the cause of all disorders.2

As soon as you succeed in infusing into them the certitude of the Divine, the disorder disappears almost instantly, and it recurs only because, not having been definitively driven away, the doubt reappears.

http://incarnateword.in/agenda/11/february-25-1970

“The soul wears no disguise….” That’s fine. It was so concrete how the human (especially mental) consciousness ALWAYS wears a disguise: you have to appear like this, you have to appear like that, you have to give this impression, you have to have that appearance—a disguise.

Sri Aurobindo Studies

Integral Liberation, Fulfilment, Realisation and Action - Starting from the unity of all creation, the integral Yoga requires the seeker to accept, balance and integrate the transcendent, the universal manifestation, and the individual role in that manifestation. This prevents the artificial solutions of “cutting the knot” of the world’s distractions by avoidance; and equally it prevents the artificial solution of pretending that there is no Transcendent and only the world and its forms and beings are of any importance. “Reality omnipresent” implies that the liberated soul takes on the standpoint of the Divine, has one foot in the Transcendent, so to speak, and the other in the rolling out of the manifestation as the will and expression of the Divine.

Looking nostalgically towards the past is far too deeply ingrained in our habits of thought. We need to reclaim our sense of the future from Silicon Valley and Hollywood.

We have a built-in radar to protect ourselves from dishonesty and falsehoods. We’re not always accurate, of course, and some people have better “BS” detectors than others. But the more specific a story, the more evidence we have against which to measure a story’s truthfulness. People want to believe that you’re telling a true story. We listen for specifics to help us distinguish between fact and fiction.
