A Talk in Hindi (video)
This talk is based on a passage from Savitri that describes our present condition of ignorance.
At the Feet of The Mother
One of the ways that surrender expresses itself is the ability to leave the past behind, to make oneself like a clean slate, something that we find so beautifully in the Mother’s and Sri Aurobindo’s life. We, instead, cling.
If God is hidden in the particle of dust then inevitably one day the dust below our feet will climb beyond thought towards its Godlike destiny. What is hidden must one day manifest. On the other hand, if we suppose that there is no such god then not only there is no hope, but nothing worth saving. [w]

The second video from the new series "Reflections on Sri Aurobindo's Poetry". This early (1900-1906) poem reveals to us about what true love is.
The lovers of the gold-pot can be left to their earnings and hoardings but the lovers of high and noble things, the lovers of idealism, the lovers of poetry and literature and art for the joy of it, the lovers of true love are the ones who are remembered when time enters an age to sweep it clear of all that is dead and gone.
You must neither turn with an ascetic shrinking from the money power, the means it gives and the objects it brings, nor cherish a rajasic attachment to them or a spirit of enslaving self-indulgence in their gratifications.
