A talk at the Auro University, Surat, on Feb 12, 2018.
At the Feet of The Mother
Is the time come for me to start becoming conscious of my nights? My normal sleep is filled with unconsciousness.
It does not matter much at present. Put your waking consciousness right.
The sleep-consciousness has to be changed quickly as it is a fundamental basis.First you will have to get the capacity of getting it back as soon as you rise.
The outer activity of the Mother as head and organiser of the Ashram was the only visible side of her work. She had another wider existence in the inner planes too. ... But only a fraction of her inner experiences has been recorded, partly in her talks, partly in Sri Aurobindo’s Savitri.

There are powers that lie in the intermediary domains that connect the human mind to the Overmind, which can be that can easily be mistaken for the true Divine. Sri Aurobindo reminds us that this is but a mediating realm, the mediator divinity that connects matter with the Spirit.
Aspiration is our only tapasya, aspiration is the only fire we are to keep burning in our heart at all times and under all circumstances. We need light no other fire, we need no other askesis or austerity.

A weekly sharing on Savitri by Dr Alok Pandey (an audio recording in English).
While concentrating, sometimes I get the experience of gathering different lights and forces on the head at the same time. I am surprised.
I suppose the physical consciousness is not accustomed to the play of lights and forces.

To the hill-tops of silence from over the infinite sea,
Golden he came, Armed with the flame,
Looked on the world that his greatness and passion must free.
Are there many sadhaks here who are under the same spell of inertia as I am?
