At the Feet of The Mother
Sri Aurobindo's Writings
"The faith in the divine Shakti must be always at the back of our strength and when she becomes manifest, it must be or grow implicit and complete. There is nothing that is impossible to her who is the conscious Power and universal Goddess all creative from eternity and armed with the Spirit’s omnipotence."
The power of the divine universal Shakti which is behind our aspiration is illimitable, and when it is rightly called upon it cannot fail to pour itself into us and to remove whatever incapacity and obstacle, now or later
"There can be for the seeker of the integral Yoga no clinging to resting-places on the road or to half-way houses; he cannot be satisfied till he has laid down all the great enduring bases of his perfection and broken out into its large and free infinities, and even there he has to be constantly filling himself with more experiences of the Infinite."
A recitation of Sri Aurobindo's Durga Stotra, originally written in Bengali (1909), in Sanskrit by Chinmayee Maheshwari.
Aravinda Maheshwari reads Sri Aurobindo's Hymn to Durga (1909).
Learn thou first to be the instrument of God and to accept thy Master. The instrument is this outward thing thou callest thyself [...] Accept thyself humbly, yet proudly, devotedly, submissively and joyfully as a divine instrument. There is no greater pride and glory than to be a perfect instrument of the Master.
