Mutation of Death (PDF) Mother Or The Mutation of Death Satprem Translated from the French By Roger Harris and Marie Pontacq 1 2 To Her may our aspiration have the power to reveal what is hidden and to manifest the unexpected S. 3 PART ONE The Cell Without Code 4 Her single will opposed the cosmic rule.1 Sri Aurobindo 1 The Transformation of Matter Or the Negation of Matter? If this true Vibration, this small lining of Truth replaced the false vibration, we would be faced with an immensely transformed world⎯ unimaginably transformed, because we cannot imagine what is simple. We can imagine fairies, gods and all kinds of bedazzling complications or superartifices, but in fact we keep inventing complications to simplify our complications, but that which does not need any artifice, that which is as obvious as spring water…. A spring is new at every moment. Something which finds its path according to its slope of truth and opens its way through the simple power of what it is. To be is to be able to be what one is at every second: an apple tree, a gazelle, a song in one way or another, and it sings, that’s the way it is. Man, this human transition, was exactly to be capable of being what one is not, and as it is not truly possible, it was a power of unreality in a stronghold of unreality⎯ now the unreality is simply exploding in our faces, that’s all. But how about that real, suddenly real world, disillusioned … and clear? How about those not-yet-suffocated men suddenly opening their transparent eyes … by the million? It is very vertiginous. It is awfully miraculous! Perhaps it is also very funny, but what is it? A world where suddenly everything communicates⎯ for that was what the fortress was: nothing communicated. A world where one knows what is needed at every second and what exact amount is needed, as the bird does, very simply. One knows all that one does not know, because the fortress was what created the wall of not-knowing. Then, to begin with, all schools collapse. There only remains the immense School of the Game of Life, and also, perhaps, training schools for the body, or rather for the consciousness of the body. There is no more cramming, because there is no more fortress to cram: it is the great manor of the world. And everyone is 5 what they are, which makes for many different types of music; and since one no longer needs to rob his neighbour in order to fill one’s own cellars, earn a false living in order to try and stealthily make a true one with it, be anything other than what one is, it all results in a sudden collapse of all competition: one will not “succeed” in being like one’s neighbour. And everyone, every country, every group, if one still needs groupings, does not have to be other than what it is, very joyfully, because to be means the joy of being what one is, purely, without addition or subtraction. And without borders. There is nothing to gain! Except oneself, more and more beautifully, more and more limpidly, more and more powerfully. For one can also do all that one cannot do: the fortress was what created the wall of non- power⎯ though very wisely (or automatically, we could say), because we would have immediately grabbed hold of this Power to wring our neighbour’s neck and twist everything, as usual. But there, in this disillusioned world, there is no need of morals anymore, of policemen or of courts: it is the automatic power … of what we are, and naturally of accomplishing what we are. Where could the fakers be in this clear world? If they could possibly exist, they would be admirably visible: twisted like their thoughts, enveloped in grey and black like rats. There is no need to pretend: it can be seen, it is clear, and everybody out! But what is really marvellous is that, by themselves, the fakers will no longer be possible⎯ those poor fakers, they delude themselves a lot, harbour many illusions, thirst for everything, suffer and toil a lot to catch what they are not … but if they can no longer delude themselves? That’s it, a world where one can no longer delude oneself. Is one going to paint one’s face like a Punchinello? There is but one means of power left: to be, more and more. Who would choose cancer? The true cancer, that of Falsehood, that which creates all the little cancers in our skin. Of course, a world where there will be no more doctors, lawyers or.… The list of all our complications is very long. No more telephones, since communication is everywhere: it was a walled fortress. No more distance, or separation, it is consciousness everywhere: it was the fortress of unconsciousness. The web has given way and one runs, it runs everywhere. No more trepidation or hurry … hurry 6 for what? Tomorrow is perfectly today, each second is perfectly what it must be, new, like the little spring. An extraordinarily simple world … as truth is. Just a veil that tears. A few million clear gazes that suddenly stop and weigh together on the veil. The ghosts will say that it is not possible, because for them, everything is not- possible, except the cage that creates all of their power⎯ their evangelical, governmental, scientific, eternal and constitutional power. All tarred with the same brush. These are the evangelists of death, so they cling to it, of course! But there remains a point. A mortal point: this body. And this point of Death is like the key to Falsehood, or to the Truth hidden by that Falsehood⎯ for in fact, only Truth exists in the world, even Falsehood could not exist if there were not a Truth behind it. It is the great simulacrum of Falsehood stuck on an imperturbable Truth. The Falsehood comes off and the true Earth emerges⎯ it can happen tomorrow, it is not far, it does not take “time”: all those little consciousnesses have only to reach the “homogeneous point,” as almost happened in 1968, but without the knowledge of the process or of the reason or the Power behind it. The Amazon is there, radiant, funny, unveiled. A formidable world breathing. But this old body is still here⎯ this old body which worked out the transition so far, this old animal residue. What is happening to it? Mother had exactly reached that point: for her, all was unveiled, without limits, without possibility of illness, for illness is only the material, corporeal expression of Falsehood. She was in the true earth beforehand. She was preparing the true earth for everyone by wearing down the web in her own body. Illnesses are eliminated, even wear and tear can be eliminated: there is no more “friction” or trepidation in the cells of the clear world. But they are still animal cells nonetheless. And what is the point of lingering in a ninety-year-old body? And even if we can conceive⎯ as it can really happen⎯ of younger bodies, even very young ones, achieving the transition and breaking through the web at eighteen, what about this body which has to eat, digest, weigh something? It seems that its mode of functioning in itself, even pure, even freed from illnesses, contains its own seed of 7 death and decay: one eats, which necessarily means that one is also eaten. It seems that this body is the very symbol of Death. But what does death mean, when there is no more “other side”? The other side is here, isn’t it, when we have cut through the web. So, what happens then? We enter our “body of consciousness,” as one could say, the very one that is lining us and is our reality, our body of reality, the one that Mother saw more clearly than the fakers’ skin and bones, and which shone or faded depending on the quality of consciousness. It is an old story, we have always had a body of consciousness⎯ we even come back life after life to make this body grow, to develop it, universalize it and embellish it … to teach it how to love. For the cage is the site of Love⎯ the site of suffering. This is perhaps the great secret of the cage. One comes back to it again and again until one has learnt how to love everything and be everything⎯ in brief, how to be divine. There are not many people who do their true job in the cage, but a few of them do it. Fakers vanish, they have no body on the “other side,” they are only aggregated Matter, which dissolves. But what happens to the others at the end of the growth cycle, when the true body, the body of consciousness is fully shaped, developed, conscious and loving?… Does one drop the animal rag and disappear, disencumbered, into the true earth?⎯ like “ghosts” in reverse. We could easily imagine a world where all conscious bodies joyfully frolic … on earth, the true earth, while the “real” ghosts are in the foreground, the false earth⎯ and the two worlds remain as if superimposed, without communication. This is how things already are. It is the dwelling of Sri Aurobindo, and of many conscious beings. But this does not seem to be the evolutionary solution. If we have been shaped in Matter, it means that this Matter holds its own plenitude and its own accomplishment⎯ where is the seed that ends in a non-tree? Thus this seed of Matter, symbolized by this body, must have its own meaning and its own key.

It was thought that this would help to prepare them for the occasion. Having had a privileged contact with the Master for twelve years as well as a voluminous correspondence with him, Nirod-da soon became a big draw with the students. As the audience kept increasing for his talks, the venue was shifted to the larger Hall of Harmony. Each week Nirod-da’s talk to the students was tape-recorded on a cassette; then it was immediately transcribed and made available for the following session. In this way, a hundred and fifty talks were recorded and meticulously transcribed by Sudha and Kokila. It is interesting to note that Nirod-da’s Twelve Years with Sri Aurobindo was born of notes taken for these talks; before the book was published, it was read out to the Mother in instalments by the author himself. “Thanks toN irod,” the Mother wrote, “we have a revelation of an altogether unknown side of what Sri Aurobindo was.

  • A Very Thin Ridge Between the Marvelous and the Disastrous. Satprem
    THE REVOLT OF THE EARTH by Satprem “Satprem, as if impelled by some irrepressible urgency, publishes today a brief text, feverish and disturbing . Through sudden perceptions, bursts of light and brutal shocks, he will break out of this human life whose very stuff is living death, and cross over to the 'other side' through an all-consuming fire. What Satprem seeks to convey here is a 'miracle' wrenched from the very matter of the body, and how this miracle of a 'new sun' is beyond all words. His book gives a powerful urge to attempt the passage from the possible to the impossible— changing death in order to change life. André Velter Le Monde A very thin ridge between the Marvelous and the disastrous. Satprem Satprem THE REVOLT OF THE EARTH To Sri Aurobindo to Mother who gave me all to my mother and the sea gulls of the Côte Sauvage Through a wonder cleft in the bounds of births . SRI AUROBINDO 1 The Scientific Middle Ages WHEN A SPECIES fails to find its own sense, it dies or self-destructs. We think we are French and Chinese and Russian, yellow and white and black, but that is our first barbarism. We think we are Christian, Hedonist and Muslim or God knows what else, but that is our second barbarism. We think we are scientists and star discoverers— and consumers of every possible species—but that is our third barbarism. We gobble up everything, but who gobbles what ? We know everything, but who knows what ? After the religious Middle Ages, the scientific Middle Ages.

  • Nirodbaran Talks with Sri Aurobindo 01
    Talks with Sri Aurobindo Volume 1 by Nirodbaran Sri Aurobindo Ashram Pondicherry NOTE These talks are from my notebooks. For several years I used to record most of the conversations which Sri Aurobindo had with us, his attendants, and a few others, after the accident to his right leg in November 1938. Besides myself, the regular participants were: Purani, Champaklal, Satyendra, Mulshankar and Dr. Becharlal. Occasional visitors were Dr. Manilal, Dr. Rao and Dr. Savoor. As these notes were not seen by Sri Aurobindo himself, the responsibil- ity for the Master's words rests entirely with me. I do not vouch for absolute accuracy, but I have tried my best to reproduce them faithfully. I have made the same attempt for the remarks of the others. NIRODBARAN i PREFACE The eve of the November Darshan, 1938. The Ashram humming with the ar- rival of visitors. On every face signs of joy, in every look calm expectation and happiness. Everybody has retired early, lights have gone out: great occa- sion demands greater silent preparation. The Ashram is bathed in an atmos- phere of serene repose. Only one light keeps on burning in the corner room like a midnight vigil. Sri Aurobindo at work as usual. A sudden noise! A rush and hurry of feet breaking the calm sleep. 2:00 a.m. Then an urgent call to Sri Aurobindo's room. There, lying on the floor with his right knee flexed, is he, clad in white dhoti, upper body bare, the Golden Purusha. The Mother, dressed in a sari, is sitting beside him.

Pandit) Second edition 2008 (Revised and enlarged by Roshan) AUROBINDA GHOSE - 1909 Specially photographed for the prabasi and the Modern Review The Mother with Champaklal 2-2-1959 My dear child This year, the Grace has arranged circumstances in such a way that you are closer to me than you have ever been - and all through you have proved most reliable and effective, always ready, always there when you are needed, always doing what needs to be done. I am happy to tell you that on your birthday. With my love and blessings. The Mother PREFACE It is a delight to present this revised and enlarged edition of Champaklal's Treasures, which contains new material recently found among Champaklal's papers. This book comprises writings and talks of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother that were collected and preserved by Champaklal. These letters notes, messages and conversations delve deep into the values of a life based on truth, light, love, beauty, harmony and the divine consciousness. They are full of insights into the problems of transforming one's nature and offer ways to overcome them. Champaklal was interested in reading, writing, painting and music, but always his central aspiration was to serve the Divine. Sincere aspiration, even when not expressed in words, evokes a response from the Divine Grace. Champaklal's life is a standing example of this truth. His aspiration was fulfilled in a number of ways, often to his utter surprise.

  • SRI AUROBINDO, the MOTHER and JUNG Running Head
    INTEGRAL PSYCHOLOGY: SRI AUROBINDO, THE MOTHER AND JUNG Running Head: Integral Psychology David Johnston Integral Psychology 2 ABSTRACT In this essay I argue that psychology must follow the lead of the new physics and new biology in adapting a quantum and relativity-based conceptual approach in order to sustain its relevance for the future. Although C. G. Jung realized this in his approach to psychology many years ago, mainline psychology has not followed suit and continues to follow a Newtonian and Cartesian formula. I also show how the yoga of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, and Jung's psychology of individuation are compatible. Given this compatibility, I argue that the development of a new and integral psychology could profitably be based on the ground that has already been laid by Jung and his school of psychology. In addition to having access to Sri Aurobindo and the Mother on the science of living, their disciples are well positioned to understand in a fundamental way this approach to the practice of psychology. Integral Psychology 3 INTEGRAL PSYCHOLOGY: SRI AUROBINDO AND THE MOTHER, AND JUNG Introduction Last year the British Columbia Psychological Association annual conference hosted a series of intrinsically interesting talks and other events, where the viewpoints and values expressed actually point towards the future. Outside of the music, which I enjoyed immensely, I particularly liked the talks given by the two keynote speakers and the direction that is potentially being opened up for psychology. Together, these two speakers proposed that, conceptually, the future of psychology lies in the direction of a more integral and quantum theoretical approach than is presently the case.

Who was Sri Aurobindo? Sri Aurobindo was a poet, a writer, a scholar, a revolutionary thinker, a seer, a philosopher, a nationalist, a creator of an age, a rishi and a yogi. He carried the world in his heart. The more you try to understand him the more you realize that it is a difficult task to describe him in words. He was born in Calcutta, India on August 15, 1872, at 4:52 a.m. in the Brahmamuhurta—the hour of God. He was the third son of Dr. Krishna Dhan Ghose and Swarnalata. He left his body at 1:26 a.m. on December 5, 1950 in Pondicherry. The body remained charged with Supramental Light for 111 hours without showing any signs of decomposition. Aravind means Lotus (pronounced Aurobindo in Bengali). Sri means "Glory of the Divine" in the tradition of India.

  • News and Notes
    News and Notes #862 A weekly bulletin for residents of Auroville 20th March 2021 Anusuya Forest photo: Piero Cefaloni HOUSE OF MOTHER’S AGENDA (continued from last week) 18 April 1970 The Mother: In last night’s experience, it was everything at the same time: the body felt, acted, it was conscious, it observed, decided – everything, just everything at the same time. There even was... I don't know, I didn't have a vision of Sri Aurobindo, but I had the sensation of his presence (that often happens: at times I'll see him and he won't speak; at other times I won't see him but I'll hear him, he'll speak to me – the laws are no longer the same), and he made me notice, or rather I noted that although the body was suffering a lot (the situation was critical, you know), there wasn't the shadow of a fear in the body. Then he told me, “Yes, it's because it is able not to be afraid that you can do the work.” The absence of fear is really the result of the yoga for so many years – for half a century. It was like this (gesture, hands open), offering its suffering, all the time like this. (silence) After last night, I have every reason to think that the work is very, very active – very active. Satprem: But on the level of the earth, how do things take place? For instance, you say that Sri Aurobindo, yourself and a number of us are working in this subtle physical to prepare the new world: how is the permeation of this subtle physical made? The Mother: But in that way.

  • The Psychic Being: Our Opening to the Divine By
    The Psychic Being: Our Opening to the Divine By Marshall Govindan Under what conditions will the fully opened Psychic Being bring about the supramental transformation by the practice of Sri Aurobindo’s Integral Yoga? This paper will attempt to answer the question. A clear understanding of Sri Aurobindo’s use of the term psychic being is essential to the practitioner of Integral Yoga. It is found throughout his writings and is a distinguishing feature of his Yoga. As we shall see, it cannot be equated with the English words soul or Self or with the Indian terms Atman, Jivatman, or Purusha. Although the Psychic Being is present in everyone’s heart, it is almost always hidden, and its workings are mingled with the movements of the mind and the vital. Until it emerges in the foreground of the consciousness, individual efforts in Yogic sadhana (discipline) remain fitful and limited by these movements. The practice of Sri Aurobindo’s Integral Yoga – summarized in the words aspiration, rejection, and surrender – progresses to the extent that the Psychic Being comes to the forefront of one’s consciousness. This occurs in four stages. What is the Psychic Being? Sri Aurobindo often refers to it metaphorically as a “spark which comes from the Divine.” The psychic is a spark come from the Divine which is there in all things and as the individual evolves it grows in him and manifests as the psychic being, the soul seeking always for the Divine and the Truth and answering to the Divine and the Truth whenever and wherever it meets it.

    1 SABDA Newsletter Recent Publications he Mother used to have meetings with some of Tthe disciples in 1928 in the “Prosperity” Room in the Library House. Both Dyuman and I belonged to that group. Once the Mother raised the question: “Who among you has progressed the most during the past year?” The answer would not mean which sadhak or sadhika was the most advanced in general. It would declare which one had taken the most marked step forward during the preceding twelve months. While recollecting this question, I turned to Dyuman and asked whether it had struck in his memory too. He said “Yes”. Then I asked him whether he recalled the answer. He looked at me but kept quiet. I smiled and said: “We thought of Nolini, Amrita, Champaklal, Pavitra and Anilbaran, all old timers. But the Mother named you.” Dyuman’s face beamed and he exclaimed: “So you remember this?” I replied: “Who could forget so great a compliment?” Dyumanbhai in the 1940s — Amal Kiran CONTENTS Dyuman “The Luminous” — Karmayogi 2 The Renaissance: Notes and Papers 20 r Immortality 9 The Birth of Savit 21 Creation?
