Japan (1916-20)

We find the Richards in London on 13 March 1916, embarking on the long journey to the Far East. They reached Japan in June 1916 and stayed for four years in the land of the rising sun, the first year mostly in Tokyo, the last three years in Kyoto. They briefly touched China too.

Transformation

By a living, ceaseless aspiration we should always look up to the infinite glory of the divine life to which we are destined, and through the Grace of the Mother nothing will be able to resist our onward march.

On Avatarhood

When the Divine descends here as an incarnation, how then does he still continue to rule over the universe?

Do you imagine that the Divine is at any time not everywhere in the universe or beyond it? or that he is living at one point in space and governing the rest from it, as Mussolini governs the Italian Empire from Rome?

On Accidents (HH 223)

audio
Accidents are a major source of suffering which one feels were quite avoidable. While one has to tackle this at different levels and find ways and means to reduce accidents, there is always something that we can do from our side to diminish its possibility and also the after-effects.

Trance of Waiting

video
Earth is now girdled with trance and Heaven is put round her for vesture. Wings that are brilliant with fate sleep at Eternity’s gate. Time waits, vacant, the Lightning that kindles, the Word that transfigures; Space is a stillness of God building his earthly abode.

A new journey now begins for Aswapati. He aspires to go further where none has dared to visit while still in the flesh. He glimpsed the Splendours in the House of the Spirit from afar, but now he wants to come in direct contact with the sun itself and not through the rays.

Supermind and Sachchidananda

Will not the Supermind be one of the powers commanded by man for realising the Divine upon earth?

...You mean manifesting, I suppose. Anyone can realise the Divine — in the sense of being conscious of the Divine. Man is a mental being in a body — how can he have command of the Supermind which is far above mind? Even Overmind is far above him.

Diary Notes and Meeting with Sri Aurobindo

“Wherever the call was, I could attend.” On the strength of this quotation we may surely assume and affirm that now the Mother is in a similar way influencing earth events from the subtle physical plane and giving individual guidance to disciples and devotees. “Even without my body the work could go on.” This is certainly a most significant revelation.

The Descent of the Supermind

Does your bringing down the Supermind into the physical depend upon the sadhaks here?

No, except that they can act as obstacles.

I gather that you started bringing down the Supramental into it in 1923.

Why not 1623? Or since the beginning of the evolution?

An Unfinished Creation pp. 77-78

Sri Aurobindo is a spiritual realist. On the one hand he is fully aware of the present state of imperfection that we live in. On the other hand he is also aware of the deeper and higher possibilities. That is why his words always comfort and soothe, give us hope and courage.
