ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Sri Aurobindo has explained the Gita in his book “Essays onthe Gita” very elaborately. This compilation is based on hisexplanation of the synthesis of Yoga of the Gita. Except few slokas,the explanation of the slokas has been quoted from Essays on theGita with due permission from the Ashram Trust. I hope the bookwill help the readers in understanding the true meaning of the Gitaand arouse aspiration in the heart for higher life. The spiritual forcecontained in the words of Sri Aurobindo is sure to awake our soulsfrom sleep and thereby bring about social transformation. I thankSri Aurobindo Ashram Trust for giving me permission to quotefrom their publications.

–Tarun Baruah

DIVINE LIFE

The true aim of human life is soul’s progress, soul’s evolutionand the ultimate goal is realisation of soul and union with God.This can be achieved only by Yoga. Yoga transforms our ordinarylife into divine life. By Yoga we can transform our mind, life andbody and raise them to higher level. God who lives in our bodyas our soul is our Yoga-guru, the Teacher. Aspire for DivineGrace very sincerely. Only by Divine Grace man can find hissoul and attain divine life. Divine Grace unites man with God inminimum time. Faith in Divine Grace is absolutely necessary.“God is with me and guiding me’-such firm faith is necessary.

HOW TO BEGIN YOGA

Practise silence of mind every day. Call down peace andsilence. Pray God to give peace and silence. Surrender to Godfor guidance. There can be no Yoga without surrender. It is onlyby Divine Grace man can find his soul. Keep constant aspirationin the heart for higher life. Aspiration is the driving force thatpushes you forward. Remember the Divine as often as possible.This habit will keep you open for working of the Divine Shaktiin you that will transform your human nature into Divine nature.Offer all you do, think and feel to the Divine. Silence, Surrender,Aspiration, Rejection of falsehood– these are the key words ofYoga. Meditate on this thought – all is in God, God is in all, allis God.

A method of sitting for meditation is given in Gita Ch.6/13,14. But there is no fixed method. One can meditate sitting ona chair, lying on bed or even while walking or in the midst ofwork. Sri Aurobindo has explained the three Yogas of the Gitain his book Synthesis of Yoga. He has said that the three Yogas

(3a) (4a)

Page 3: Bhagavad Gita

of the Gita are really one Yoga and has named it integral Yoga.Its aim is liberation of soul and perfection of nature. God’s aimis to transform human nature into divine nature and to create aheaven on earth. Man can hasten the process by Yoga. A sectionof humanity will turn to Yoga and will be the pioneers of thisgreat work. The universe is God Himself. To reveal Himself inmatter is His aim. By evolution of matter life or vegetablekingdom appeared on earth. Next came the animals and at lastman appeared with mind. The consciousness of the plants issub-conscious mind and that of the animals is vital or life mind.Human mind is an intermediary consciousness only. A day willcome when supermind will appear on earth creating the race ofsuperman. It is a pure divine consciousness.

The evolutionary force of nature is constantly pressing onhumanity to rise up in the scale of consciousness. Those whoaspire for change of consciousness will get the benefit. Divinehelp is always with us. We are simply to open ourselves to theDivine Shakti. Yoga without surrender to the Divine is risky.There is every risk of falling down and get crushed. But Yogathrough surrender is safe. The Mother has said¬—The babycat surrender is the safest way.

In Yoga there is no place for fasting, begging or fleeingfrom material life. Money power is a divine power. We musthave full control over this power for flourishing of outer life.“Conquer the enemies and enjoy an opulent kingdom”—(Gita11/33).

Our soul is our Yoga guru, teacher of Yoga. Our soul hastwo parts—higher and lower. The higher part is called Jivatmaor Jiva. It is an eternal portion of God, (Gita 15/7). The Jivastands above our nature and is the lord of our nature. The lowerpart, a spark of Jivatma, comes down to nature and takes activepart in the evolution of the nature. A consciousness called psychic

grows round the spark soul from life to life. It becomes fullygrown in highly developed human beings. It is then called thepsychic being. At this stage it becomes able to guide the mind.It is through the psychic the Jivatma, the Lord of our wholebeing, guides us, (18/61). To get peace and happiness, we musttry to receive our soul’s guidance. This is possible by constanteffort to silence the mind. It may take years, but we should notbe disheartened. Our Jivatma is free, but our psychic is inbondage of nature. Soul’s liberation means liberation of thepsychic. By Yoga the psychic develops and joins with Jivatma.Then the psychic is liberated from the bondage of nature. Bypsychic we mean the spark soul and its consciousness together.

By Yoga we can cancel our past karma. It means we canminimise our suffering by Yoga. Divine Grace exhausts Karma,(9/30, 31). So let us aspire for Divine Grace.

A Yogi has no work of his own. All works belong to God.Works done as an offering to the Divine do not bind us. We arethen free from the reactions of Karma. While doing works weshould call the Divine Shakti to do the work. Works done in thisattitude is meditation.

Each human being is a mini universe. Our soul (Jivatma)is at the top of this mini universe as the universal soul is the lordof the universe. All the levels of consciousness that exist betweenmatter and God also exist between our body and soul. Here isgiven a rough idea of the different levels of our inner states.From the highest to the lowest—Jivatma, spark soul, psychic,inner mind, inner vital, inner physical, mental purusha, vitalpurusha, physical purusha, mind, life (vital), body, sub-consciousmind and inconscient. The inner mind, inner vital and innerphysical carry our life experiences to our next life. Inner mind-life-body together constitute the subtle body (sukhma sarira).These three are immortal like the soul. They go with the soul

(5a) (6a)

Page 4: Bhagavad Gita

and come back with the soul. The outer mind-life-body dissolveafter death. The soul takes new mind-life-body in every life. Ifby Yoga one can psychicise mind and life, then they becomeimmortal like the soul. The Jiva or the Jivatma is always thesame. The Jiva of an insect and that of a man are same. Whatdiffers is the psychic. The psychic evolves life after life till itbecomes a fully grown psychic being and unites with the Jivatma.This union is called soul’s liberation. The psychic is then freedfrom the bondage of nature. Yoga helps fast growth of thepsychic. Prayer, will, aspiration, bhakti, knowledge, karma yoga,regular meditation, effort to keep the mind in peace and silenceis the way. There are seven subtle centres. The safest way isto open the heart centre which is behind the physical heart.

In Yoga one should not hurry. Be always calm. Surrenderto God. God will take entire responsibility of your life. Once yougive yourself entirely to Him, you need not fear or worry. Youwill surmount all obstacles and difficulties. Do not give up yogaafter a time. It will be harmful. If you do not get time formeditation, that does not matter. Simply remember the Divinenow and then. That will keep you on the path and you will keepprogressing. Yoga is not a horse race, go like a snail, that isenough. Each of us is half animal and half human. To transformthe animal into divine we will have to take innumerable lives. Sono haste. Be sincere. That is enough. It will keep you on theright track. God is always with you and will do the needful.Have absolute faith on God. What you believe from the core ofyour heart will surely happen. Believe that God is holding youtight and leading you on the path of Yoga.

Yoga will give you a new consciousness. You will feelpeaceful and happier than before. Slowly your nature will undergochange under the influence of your psychic. This is calledpsychicisation. It means to bring mind, life and body to the

control of the psychic being. This is a great achievement.To keep the body healthy we should draw sufficient life

energy. It can be done in two ways. But to combine them isbest. The general method is slow deep breathing, (see Ch.4),not in full stomach. The other is with the help of will power.There is a sea of life energy around us. We are simply to callit into our body. You will succeed in a short time if you practicewith faith. It can be done at any time. Just mentally say—“Letlife energy come into my body from the sea of life energy.” Ina sense life energy may be called nectar of immortality, sinceit prolongs the span of life.

Yoga transforms the human body into a temple of God.Purity is divine. Purity and falsehood never dwell together.Rejection of falsehood in thought, speech and actions is animperative discipline. Exercise daily—I will not be angry, greedy,jealous, revengeful and speak ill of others. I will not fear orworry. I am content with what God gives me. I am grateful toGod, parents, teachers and my well-wishers. I love all and hatenone. Everyday I will pray for all humanity.

If you open yourself on one side or in onepart to the Truth and on another side are constantly opening thegates to hostile forces, it is vain to expect that the divine Gracewill abide with you. You must keep the temple clean if you wishto instal there the living presence. Do not imagine that truth andfalsehood, light and darkness, surrender and selfishness can beallowed to dwell together in the house consecrated to the Divine.Reject the false notion that the divine power will do and is boundto do everything for you at your demand. Make your surrendertrue and complete, then only will all else be done for you. Regardyour life as given you only for the divine work and to help in thedivine manifestation. Desire nothing but purity, force, light,wideness, calm, Ananda of the divine consciousness and itsinsistence to transform and perfect your mind, life and body. Letyour sincerity and surrender be genuine and entire. When yougive yourself, give completely, without demand, without condition,without reservation so that all in you shall belong to the Divine.The more complete your faith, sincerity and surrender, the morewill grace and protection be with you. A little of it even will carryyou through all difficulties, obstacles and dangers. Its touch canturn difficulties into opportunities, failure into success andweakness into unfaltering strength.

Whenunrighteousness, injustice and oppression prevail, the Avatar

descends to deliver the good and destroy the wicked. It doesnot cover the spiritual sense. Always we see in the history of thedivine incarnations the double work, and inevitably because theAvatar takes up the workings of God in human life, the way ofthe divine Will and Wisdom in the world, and that always fulfilsitself externally as well as internally, by inner progress in the souland by outer change in life. The Avatar comes to reveal the divinenature in man above this lower nature and to show what are thedivine works, free, unegoistic, disinterested, impersonal, universal;full of the divine light, the divine power and the divine love.

The Avatar does not come as a thaumaturgic magician[’À˘Ãøfl¡fl¡ ±≈√fl¡1], but as the divine leader of humanity and exemplarof a divine humanity. Even human sorrow and physical sufferinghe must assume and use so as to show, first, how that sufferingmay be a means of redemption [ά◊X±1] as did Christ – secondly,to show how, having been assumed by the divine soul in thehuman nature, it can also be overcome in the same nature, - asdid Buddha. Avatar of sorrow and suffering must come beforethere can be the Avatar of divine joy; the human limitation mustbe assumed in order to show how it can be overcome. – SriAurobindo, Essays on the Gita.

Divine birth (To become Divine by Yoga) : The divine birth inman, his ascent is itself a growing of the human into the divine

consciousness, and is a losing of the separate self in that. Thesoul merges its individuality in an infinite and universal being orloses it in the heights of a transcendent being : it becomes onewith the Self, the Brahman, the Divine. While it is the divine birthto which every Jiva [Ê√œª±R±] arrives it is not the descent of theGodhead, not Avatarhood.

being is that part of you which is already given to the Divine. It isits influence gradually spreading from within towards the mostoutward and material boundaries of your consciousness that willbring about the transformation of your entire nature. Most peopleare unconscious of this psychic part within them; the effort ofYoga is to make you conscious of it, so that the process of yourtransformation, instead of a slow labour extending throughcenturies, can be pressed into one life or even a few years.

When the soul or “spark of the DivineFire” begins to develop a psychic individuality, that psychicindividuality is called the psychic being. The soul or spark is therebefore the development of an organised vital and mind. The soulis something of the Divine that descends into the evolution as adivine Principle within it to support the evolution of the individualout of the Ignorance into the Light. It develops in the course ofthe evolution a psychic individual or soul individuality which growsfrom life to life.

At the very moment when everything seems to go from badto worse, it is then that we must make a supreme act of faith andknow that the Grace will never fail us. – Mother, AIM, June, 74.

All here is God, is the Spirit or Self-existence, is Brahman,ekamevadvitiyam, – there is nothing else; Nature is and can benothing else than a power of the divine consciousness. The wholeworld is nothing but the divine force in action. Nor does Godrule the world from some remote heaven, but by his intimateomnipresence; each finite working of force is an act of infiniteForce. God’s rule is not an absentee, foreign and externalgovernment; he governs all because he exceeds all, but alsobecause he dwells within all movements and is their absolutesoul and spirit. – Essays on the Gita.

A continual resort to meditation, dhyana-yoga-paro nityam,is the firm means by which the soul of man can realise its self ofPower and its self of silence. And there must be no abandonmentof the active life for a life of pure meditation; action must always bedone as a sacrifice to the supreme spirit. – Essays on the Gita.

The divine Master of the Yoga, Yogesvarah Krisnah, will

himself take up our Yoga and raise us to our utmost possibleperfection, ... vast and comprehensive. It will be a perfectiondeveloped by an all-seeing Wisdom. All must be given as materialof that transmutation. An omniscient consciousness will take upour knowledge and our ignorance, our truth and our error, castaway their forms of insufficiency, sarva-dharmam parityajya,and transform all into its infinite light. An almighty power will takeup our virtue and sin, our right and wrong, our strength and ourweakness, cast away their tangled figures, sarva-dharmamparityajya, and transform all into its transcendent purity anduniversal good and infallible force. An ineffable Ananda will takeup our petty joy and sorrow, our struggling pleasure and painand transform all into its transcendent and universal unimaginabledelight. A constant delight, oneness and harmony of the eternalindividual here with the Divine and all that he is will be the effectof this integral liberation. – Sri Aurobindo, Essays on the Gita,The Supreme Secret.

Words of Sri Aurobindo

What do you call meditation ? Shutting the eyes andconcentrating? It is only one method for calling down the trueconsciousness. Meditation is only a means or device, the truemovement is when even walking, working or speaking one is fullof sadhana, AIM, Ap.84

God is our wise and perfect Friend, because he knows whento smite as well as when to fondle, when to slay us no less thanwhen to save and to succour. Ths & Aphs.

Yoga through work is the easiest and most effective way to

(31a) (32a)

Page 17: Bhagavad Gita

enter into the stream of Sadhana. AIM Ap.84The divine Friend of all creatures conceals His friendliness in

the mask of an enemy till he has made us ready for the highestheavens.

Pain is the key that opens the gates of strength; it is the high-road that leads to the city of beatitude. [¶§·« ”‡].

God, the world Guru, is wiser than thy mind.I hated the devil and was sick with his temptations and

tortures. Then I discovered it was Krishna at his tricks.If God assigns to me my place in Hell, I do not know why I

should aspire to Heaven. He knows best what is for my welfare.Love of God, charity towards men is the first step towards

perfect wisdom.He who condemns failure and imperfection, is condemning

God.When I live in Krishna, then ego and self-interest vanish.Kali is Krishna revealed as dreadful Power and wrathful

Love.If Hell were possible, it would be the shortest cut to the

highest heaven. (Ths and Aph.)If you can’t as yet remember the Divine all the time you are

working, it does not greatly matter. To remember and dedicateat the beginning and give thanks at the end ought to be enoughfor the present. Or at the most to remember too when there is apause. Aspiration and will of consecration calling down a greaterForce to do the work is a method which brings great results.

By constant referring of all one’s will and works to the Divine,love and adoration grow, the psychic being comes forward (Lightson Yoga.)

If God did not take upon Himself the burden of tempting

men, the world would very soon go to perdition. Suffer yourselfto be tempted within so that you may exhaust in the struggle yourdownward propensities. You may leave it to God to purify, Hewill exhaust the evil subjectively [inwardly] (÷ù´À1 ±Ú≈ √√fl¡ tempt fl¡À1˚±ÀÓ¬ fl¡©Ü ¬Û±˝◊√√ Œ˘±ˆ¬ ¤ø1¬ıÕ˘ ¬ı±Ò… ˝√√˚˛]

When I look back on my past life, I see that if I had notfailed and suffered, I would have lost my life’s supreme blessings;yet at the time of the suffering and failure, I was vexed with thesense of calamity. Be silent, ye foolish hearts ! Slay the ego, learnto see and feel vastly and universally.– Ths & Aph.

Mantra of SuccessGive the Divine a full sporting chance. When he lights

something in you or is preparing a light, don’t come in with a wetblanket of despondency and throw it on the poor flame. But inthese matters, when the darkness of human mind and life andbody has to be dissipated, a candle is always a beginning– alamp can follow and afterwards a sun. At the beginning and for along time, the experiences do usually come in little quanta withempty spaces between. Doubt is the mind’s persistent assailant.Don’t allow the assailant to become a companion, don’t givehim the open door and the fireside seat.

To put it more soberly– accept once and for all that this thing[’±R±Î¬◊¬Û˘øt] has to be done, that it is the only thing left for yourselfor the earth. Why should you expect so great a thing to be easyor that there must be either a swift success or none ? Thedifficulties have to be faced and the more cheerfully they arefaced the sooner they will be overcome. The one thing to do is tokeep the mantra of success, the determination of victory, thefixed resolve, “Have it I must and have it I will”. Impossible ?

(33a) (34a)

Page 18: Bhagavad Gita

There is no such thing as impossible ?– there are difficulties, butno impossibles. Drive out dark despair and go bravely on withyour Yoga. As the darkness disappears, the inner doors will open.(AIM, Sept 79).

The Divine Grace and Power can do everything, but withthe full assent of the sadhak. To learn to give that full assent is thewhole meaning of sadhana.

The principal thing in the Yoga is to trust in the Divine Graceat every step, to direct the thought continually to the Divine.–AIM, Nov. 85

Desire and WillWhat becomes desire in the ego is Will in the spirit... desire

presents itself to us as a craving of the life force. This desire isessential to the ordinary man. But when we are able to look atdesire from above, we see that what supports this instrumentaldesire is a will of the spirit. AIM, Jan. 82

It is quite true that, left to yourself, you can do nothing; that iswhy you have to be in contact with the Force which is there todo for you what you cannot do for yourself. The only thing youhave to do is to allow the force to act and put yourself on its side,which means to have faith in it, to rely upon it, not to trouble andharass yourself, to remember it quietly, to call upon it quietly, tolet it act quietly. If you do that, all else will be done for you.

The grace and protection are always with you. When in anyinner or outer difficulty or trouble do not allow it to oppress you;take refuge with the Divine Force that protects.

If you do that always with faith and sincerity, you will findsomething opening in you which will always remain calm andpeaceful in spite of all superficial disturbances.

Immortality is the status in the infinite spiritual consciousness.

It is the possession of Sachchidananda in oneself and theexpression of him in the universe.

Purpose of our exitence

In my explanation of the universe I have put forward thiscardinal fact of a spiritual evolution as the meaning of our existencehere. It is a series of ascents from the physical being andconsciousness to the vital, the being dominated by the life-self,thence to the mental being realised in the fully developed manand thence into the perfect consciousness which is beyond themental into the supramental consciousness and supramental being,the Truth-Consciousness which is the integral consciousness ofthe spiritual being. Mind cannot be our last conscious expressionbecause mind is fundamentally an ignorance seeking forknowledge; it is only the supramental Truth-Consciousness thatcan bring us the true and whole Self-Knowledge and worldknowledge; it is through that only that we can get to our truebeing and the fulfilment of our spiritual evolution.

Devotion and a more and more complete inner consccrationare the best way to open to the psychic. AIM, Nov.85

The descent of the supramental (supermind) means that thepower will be there in the earth-consciousness as a living force.

The inner presence– Be cheerful and confident. Doubt anddesire & Co. are there, no doubt, but the Divine is there alsoinside you. Open your eyes and look and look till the veil is rentand you see Him or Her.

Avatar is one who comes to open the Way for humanity to ahigher consciousness.

As for the Mother and myself, we have had to try all ways,

(35a) (36a)

Page 19: Bhagavad Gita

follow all methods, to surmount mountains of difficulties, a farheavier burden to bear than you or anybody else in the Ashramor outside, far more difficult conditions, battles to fight, woundsto endure, ways to cleave through impenetrable morass and desertand forset,hostile masses to conquer a work such as, I am certain,none else had to do before us. (Letters on Yoga.)

Words of the MotherHow to establish a stable peace and silence in the mind ?

First you have to will, and then you have to try, and go ontrying. There are many methods. Here is one. Sit down and, insteadof thinking of fifty things, say to yourself, "Peace, peace, peace."Imagine the calmness and silence. Donot look at the thoughts,donot listen to their noise.

Snatch opportunities again and again to sit down and createthe spell of 'Peace'. Do it as soon as you wake in the morning andwhen you go to bed in the evening. It will have a good effect onyour health also. Do it a few minutes before eating. You will besurprised how much it helps you to digest your food. If you continuelong enough, peace will not have to enter into your head; whateveryou do, whatever the circumstances, it will always be there. Butit takes years.

The Mother, AIM, Dec. 74Liberation from Karma : This sort of fatality that one

sometimes feels weighing heavy on one's life, which is calledKarma, is the result of past lives; indeed, it is something that hasto be exhausted.

But because it is a Karma, you have to do something yourself.Karma is a construction of the ego; the ego must do something,everything cannot be done for it. The truth is this : Karma is theresult of the actions of the ego, and it is only when the ego abdicatesthat Karma is dissolved. (AIM Oct 82)

Power of Imagination : The imagination is really the powerof mental formation. When this power is put at the service of theDivine, it is not only formative but also creative. A good deal ofour life embodies the products of our imagination. Every time youindulge your imagination in an unhealthy way, giving a form toyour fears and anticipating accidents and misfortunes, you areundermining your own future. On the other hand, the moreoptimistic your imagination, the greater the chance of your realisingyour aim. The power of mental formation is most useful in Yogaalso. If you always dwell in the idea and feeling that you are goingto be transformed, then you will help the process of Yoga. –TheMother

I am asking you to change your nature.Left to himself the human being has no strength, no intelligence;no power or knowledge. He has only his stupidity, weaknessand ignorance. But if he takes refuge in the Divine, he gets all, hegets everything, he becomes strong, intelligent and powerful.–AIM, Oct 79

In the Integral Yoga, there is no distinction between thesadhana and the outward life; it is in each and every movementof the daily life that the Truth must be found and practised.

Give yourself entirely to the Divine and you will see the endof all your troubles.

The mind, the life and the body must become and live whatthe Soul knows and is.

The first step towards transformationDisciple– I want to transform myself, Mother.Mother–Do you think you can transform yourself ?Desciple– If you give me the means and help.Mother– Do you think I am not giving them to you ? I am sohappy if someone follows me. And I am constantly giving myhelp to prepare souls so that they may be transformed.Desciple– Then, prepare me also.Mother– Only if you collaborate. One must be able to aspireconstantly and at every minute collaborate with Divine. A constantvigilance and aspiration to live in my Consciousness. This is thebase. Then one can go forward and start walking on the pathtowadrs transformation. That is only a start.To transform oneself,that is still far away and very hard. However, one starts andtakes the first step towards transformation. And life will have ameaning, if all transforms itself into the Divine. That is what I amworking at. If you have an unfaltering will and an aspiration thatalways wants to rise towards the heights, untiringly, alwayssearching for the truth, then, take a leap towards the path oftransformation that I have traced with the help of Sri Aurobindo.This is the truest of all things. AIM, Sept., 1979.

Aspiration and DesireIn aspiration there is what I might call an unselfish flame which

is not present in desire. Your aspiration is not a turning backupon self– desire is always a turning back upon oneself [fl¡±˜Ú±’±RÀfl¡øffl¡]. True aspiration does not come from the head, itsprings up like a flame from the heart. AIM, jan. 82

Each time you receive a blow from life, tell yourself

immediately, “Ah,I have to make a progress”; then the blowbecomes a blessing. You say, “ What is it I have to learn ? I wantto know. What is it I have to change ? I want to know.” This iswhat you should do.

One must do things with all the ardour of one’s soul, with allthe strength of one’s will; do at every moment the best possible.The best things possible. What others do is not your concern.

You have been put upon earth, in a physical body, with adefinite aim, which is to make this body as conscious as possible,make it most perfect and most conscious instrument of the Divine.He has given you a certain amount of substance and of matter inall the domains–mental, vital and physical in proportion to whathe expects from you, and all the circumstances around you arealso in proportion to what He expects of you. Everyone has alife appropriate to his total development, everyone hasexperiences which help him in his total development, andeveryone has difficulties which help him in his total realisation.AIM, Nov.85

Illness

When the physical disorder comes, one must not be afraid,one must not run away from it, must face it with courage, calmness,confidence, with the certitude that illness is a falsehood and thatif one turns entirely, in full confidence, with a complete quietudeto the divine Grace, It will settle in these cells as It is establishedin the depths of the being, and the cells themselves will share inthe eternal Truth and Delight.– AIM, Jan.84

If one has within him faith in the divine grace, that the divinegrace is watching over him, and that no matter what happens thedivine grace is there, watching over him, this one may keep all

(39a) (40a)

Page 21: Bhagavad Gita

one’s life and always; and with this one can pass through alldangers, face all difficulties and nothing stirs, for you have thefaith and the divine grace is with you. It is an infinitely stronger,more conscious, more lasting force which does not depend uponthe conditions of your physical build, does not depend uponanything except the divine grace alone and hence it leans on theTruth and nothing can shake it.– AIM Feb-Mar, 84

Mother’s Prayer

Peace, peace upon all the earth. May all escape from theordinary consciousness and be delivered from the attachment formaterial things; may they awake to the knowledge of Thy divinepresence, unite themselves with Thy supreme consciousness andtaste the plenitude of peace that springs from it.

O Lord, I would like to be so ardent a love that all lonelinessmay be filled up by it and all sorrows soothed.

O Lord, I cry unto thee: Make me a burning brazier whichconsumes all suffering and transforms it into joyous light irradiatingthe hearts of all !

Grant my prayer: Transform me into a brazier of pure loveand boundless compassion.O Lord, eternal Master, enlighten us, guide our steps, show usthe way towards the realisation of Thy law, towards theaccomplishment of Thy work.

A deep and solemn chant rises from my heart, and I do notknow whether this chant goes from me to Thee or comes fromThee to me or whether Thou and I and the entire universe arethis marvellous chant... Surely there is no longer any Thou or I orany separate universe.

O my sweet Master, accomplish all the work Thyself throughthis individual being in its integrality. Or rather, do not let anythingin this individual being forget at any moment that it is only aninstrument.

O Thou who triumphest over all obstacles, Thou wilt dispelthe darkness of ignorance and the black smoke of egoistic ill-will; Thou wilt dissolve all wrong suggestions and strengthen inus a pure and clear vision.

O Lord, let Thy will be done,Thy work be accomplished.Fortify our devotion, increase our surrender, give us light uponthe path.

O Lord, the earth groans and suffers; chaos has made thisworld its abode.The darkness is so deep that Thou alone canstdispel it. Come, manifest Thyself, that Thy work may beaccomplished.

O Lord, Thy Presence is settled within me like an unshakablerock; and the whole being exults in belonging to Thee withoutthe least reserve, with a wide and complete surrender.

O Lord, Thou hast given me thy Power that Thy Peace andJoy may reign over the world.

Errors have become stepping-stones, the blind gropingsconquests. Thy glory transforms defeats into victories of eternity,and all the shadows have fled before Thy radiant light.

No flight out of the world !The burden of its darkness andugliness must be borne to the end.

It is Thy Will that I should be a channel, always open, alwayswider, through which Thy forces may pour themselves inabundance on the world......O Lord, let Thy will be done.

(41a) (42a)

Page 22: Bhagavad Gita

Outside all manifestation, in the immutable silence of Eternity,I am in Thee, O lord, an unmoving beatitude, I see Thee, I amThyself, and between these two poles my intense love aspirestowards thee. (Prayers and meditation)

To become aware of one’s deficiencies is a sign of greatprogress and the door opens on the road to succes in sadhana.

Go deep, very deep down in the silence of your heart, andyou will find the Lord there radiant and merciful.

If we look at troubles as the most effective way to make usprogress, then they lose their bitterness and they become easy tobear. And when we know how to call the Lord in all circumstancesto make Him share in all the events of our life, then life becomesan Ananda.

When difficulties come it is to teach us to be peaceful andeven cheerful in spite of everything. Difficulties are the sign ofpossibilities. So they must not upset us. To remain quiet andconfident is the best way to make them pass away quickly. Neverforget that the greater the difficulties the greater also arepossibilities. It is only those who have great capacities and a bigfuture who meet with great obstacles and hardships. The morethere are difficulties the more you can be sure that the Lord ispulling you towards Himself as quickly as you can possibly go.There is only one way out of all difficulties, –but it is a sure one.Keep your faith intact and living like a shining flame. The helpfrom the Lord is proportional to the difficulties. He is alwaysthere, close to those who suffer and feel lonely; ready to welcomethem and give them the supreme Comfort of his Love. The morewe endure the more Force and the Love of the Lord are with usand greater is the joy of the Victory. We must be more enduring

than the opposition and all the obstacles will disapper. Everythingwill come in due time; the true Power knows how to wait.

Yoga is sufficient to fill a whole life if it is done seriously. It isat each instant of our life that the Lord saves us so wonderfullyand so simply that in our blindness we do not even know it. It isonly when we remain quietly in His arms, untouched by whatcomes from others that we can see and feel his wonderfulprotection. The Lord arranges our lives for the best of our soulsand His wisdom is infinite and perfect.

To realise the Divine and unite with the Divine, you must loseyour ego. If you dissociate from the ego, you will no longer feelmiserable and soon you will become aware of your soul– andthen you will awlays be aware of the Divine Grace and its quiethappiness. If we want our consecration [ά◊»¸·«] to the Divine tobe total and perfect, it must be unconditioned and independentof all circumstances. The true condition is to be absorbed in anall-embracing love for the Divine. Consecration is indeedmeditation in action. Never do I sit in meditation, there is no timeand necessity for it. [÷ù´11 ø‰¬ôL±Ó¬ Î≈¬¬ı ∆· Ô±øfl¡ ¸fl¡À˘± fl¡±˜ fl¡ø1À˘Œ¬ıÀ˘· Ò…±ÚÓ¬ ¬ı √√±1 õ∂À˚±Ê√Ú Ú± ◊√√] Because it is not through meditationthat one gives oneself to the divine, it is through consecration andsurrender– and it is through all activities of life that consecrationand surrender are to be made.

On friendship– It is the Lord who creates the friendships. Itis the Lord who ends the friendships; it is the lord who makes uslonely to make us ready for this everlasting Friendship; when weare ready for it all loneliness disappears and we become constantlyaware of His soothing Presence which dismisses all loneliness.

On hostility - There is only one remedy; it is not to listen to

(43a) (44a)

Page 23: Bhagavad Gita

people when they begin to gossip and pay no attention to whatthey say. Never to be affected by all this talk– not to mind a bitwhat people say or do not say. Never answer to what they say.Never utter a word when you feel angry. And to be able to dothat there is one way: think of the Divine, take refuge in the Divine,surrender all, your life, your feelings, your friends and yourenemies, all and everything, to the Divine.

On health- For health the most important is an inner calmand peace. Almost all of the physical troubles have their cause inan inner disorder. Get the inside quiet, everything will be all right.

Keep the certitude of the final Victory constantly present inyour mind and the way will be much shorter.

India ought to be the spiritual leader of the world. It is onlythe India’s soul who can unify the country. Externally the provincesof India are very different in character, tendencies, culture, aswell as in language. But her soul is one, intense in her aspirationtowards the spiritual truth– The Mother, Mother India, Jan 1969

In peace and silence the Eternal manifests; allow nothing todisturb you and the Eternal will manifest.

—Sri Aurobindo, Pract. guideEveryone who is turned to the Mother is doing my Yoga

(Purna Yoga, Integral Yoga) It is a great mistake to suppose thatone can “do” the Purna Yoga by one’s own effort. No humanbeing can do that. What one has to do is to put oneself in theMother’s hands and open oneself to her by service, by bhakti,by aspiration.

— Sri Aurobindo, Pract. GuideThe true essence of sacrifice is not self-immolation, it is

self-giving. —Mother, Pract. GuideMother on faith – If you believe that the Divine is far and

cruel, He will be far and cruel. He will be brotherly and close, afriend always faithful, always ready to succour for those whofeel Him as the inner guide in each movement, at every moment.And if you believe that he can wipe away everything, he willwipe away your faults, all your errors, and at every moment youcan feel His infinite Grace. If you expect every moment to belifted up and pulled towards the Divine, He will come to lift youand He will be there, quite close, closer, ever closer. – AIM,Feb, 78.Relaxation – If one is very tired, one must stretch out on the bed,relax, loosen all the nerves one after another until one becomeslike a cloth in one’s bed. Relax, do not concentrate on any ideaor try to solve a problem. - Mother, AIM, Dec 85

He who would save the world must share its pain.If he knows not grief, how shall he find grief’s cure?

God must be born on earth and be as manThat man being human may grow even as God.He who would save the world must be one with the world,All suffering things contain in his heart’s spaceAnd bear the grief and joy of all lives.

Mother on IllnessAll illness, all, whatever they may be come from a break in

equilibrium. That is, if all your organs, all the members and partsof your body are in harmony with one another, you are in perfecthealth. How to prevent illness from coming, first of all, and whenthe illness does occur, how to cure it? It is usually when the bodyis convinced that it has been given the conditions under which itmust be all right; it takes the resolution that it must be all right andit is cured. There are two things you have to do when you havediscovered the disorder, big or small – the disharmony. Firstly,we said that this disharmony created a kind of tremor and a lackof peace in the physical being, in the body. So the first thing to dois to quieten oneself, bring peace, calm relaxation, with a totalconfidence, in this little corner [Œ√ √√1 ’ ≈‡ Œ √√±ª± ’—˙Õ˘ ì˙±øôL’±˝√√fl¡î ¬ı≈ø˘ ø˚˜±Ú ¬Û±ø1 ˆ¬±ø¬ı¬ı ˘±À· ’±1n∏ ˜ÚÀȬ± silent fl¡ø1 øÚÊ√fl¡ ˙±ôLfl¡ø1 1±ø‡¬ı ±À·]... and through the pressure of light and knowledgeand spiritual force you re-establish the harmony, the properfunctioning. In the case of special attacks of adverse forces, thething gets complicated. There are always germs watching and

(47a) (48a)

Page 25: Bhagavad Gita

only waiting for an occasion. Anyhow, for some reason or other,the influence has pierced through the shell of protection ( protectingenvelope around the body). Then you must add the Force ofspiritual purification which is such an absolutely perfectlyconstructive force that nothing that is in the least destructive cansurvive there. If you have this Force at your disposal or if youcan ask for it and get it, you direct it on the spot [Œ√ √√1 ’ ≈¶ö’—˙Õ˘ ø√ Ó≈¬ø˜ ÷ù´11 øMê√ Ú˜± ◊√√ ’±øÚ¬ı ¬Û±1±] and the adverse forceusually runs away immediately, for if it happens to be in the midstof this Force it gets dissolved, it disappears, for no force ofdisintegration can survive within this Force, therefore disintegrationdisappears and with it that also disappears.

[Œ¬ı˜±1 ˜±ÀÚ force of disintegration, ˆ¬·ª±Ú1 ˙øMê√1 õ∂ˆ¬±¬ıÓ¬disintegration ¬ıg √√ º]

Mother on Illness due to Yoga

The force that comes down into one who is doing Yoga andhelps him in his transformation, acts along many different linesand its results vary according to the nature that receives it andthe work to be done. First of all, it hastens the transformation ofall in the being that is ready to be transformed. If he is open andreceptive in his mind, the mind, touched by the power of Yoga,begins to change and progress swiftly. There may be the samerapidity of change in the vital consciousness if that is ready, oreven in the body. But in the body the transforming power ofyoga is operative only to a certain degree; for the receptivity ofthe body is limited. The most material plane of the universe is stillmixed with a large amount of resistance. But rapid progress in

one part of the being which is not followed by an equivalentprogress in other parts produces a disharmony in the nature, adislocation somewhere; and wherever or whenever thisdislocation occurs, it can translate itself into an illness. One kindof disharmony affects the mind and the disturbance it producesmay lead even as far as insanity; another kind affects the bodyand may show itself as fever or prickly heat or any other greateror minor disorder.

On one side, the action of the forces of Yoga hastens themovement of transformation of the being in those parts that areready to receive and respond to the power that is at work uponit. Yoga, in this way saves time. The whole world is in a processof progressive transformation; if you take up the discipline ofYoga, you speed up in yourself this process. The work that wouldrequire years in the ordinary course, can be done by yoga in afew days and even in a few hours. The higher parts of your beingreadily follow the swift and concentrated movement of yoga andlend themselves more easily to the continuous adjustment andadaptation that it necessitates.

The body, on the other hand, is ordinarily dense, inert andapathetic and if you have in this part something that is notresponsive, if there is a resistance here, the reason is that thebody is incapable of moving as quickly as the rest of the being.This divergence between the progress in the inner being and theinertia of the body often creates a dislocation in the system, andthat manifests itself as an illness.

In the ordinary life of man ... the mental and the vital beingsof man follow as best they can the movement of the universalforces, but the body bound to the law of the most material nature,

(49a) (50a)

Page 26: Bhagavad Gita

moves very slowly. After some years, seventy or eighty, a hundredor two hundred, the dislocation is so serious that the outer being[Œ√ √√] falls to pieces [ ‘Ó≈¬… √√ ]. The divergence between the demandand the answer, the increasing inability of the body, brings aboutthe phenomenon of death.

Mother on Destiny

By Yogic discipline one can not only foresee destiny butmodify it and change it totally. Human beings are made up of acombination of several entities. Each of these beings belongs toa world of its own and carries within it its own destiny, its owndeterminism. And it is the combination of all these determinismsthat results in the destiny of the individual.

For example, the physical or material destiny of a beingcomes from his paternal and maternal forebears. But then comesinto play the formation of his vital being. (the being of desires andpassions, but also of impulsive energy and active will) which bringswith it its own destiny. This destiny affects the physical destinyand can alter it completely. For example, if a man born with avery good physical balance is driven by his vital to all kinds ofexcesses, bad habits and even vices, he can in this way partlydestroy his good physical destiny and lose the harmony of healthand strength. To the physical and vital destinies, there must beadded the mental destiny, the psychic destiny and many othersbesides. The higher a being stands on the human scale, the morecomplex is his being, the more numerous are his destinies. Higherdestinies are quite closest to the central truth of the universe andif they are allowed to intervene, their action is necessarilybeneficent. The art of living would then consist in maintaining

oneself in one’s highest state of consciousness and thus allowingone’s highest destiny to dominate. Be always at the summit ofyour consciousness and the best will always happen to you. Ifthis ideal condition turns out to be unrealisable, the individual canat least, when confronted by a danger or a critical situation, callupon his highest destiny by aspiration, prayer and trustful surrenderto the divine will. Then, in proportion to the sincerity of his call,the higher destiny intervenes favourably in the normal destiny ofthe being and changes the course of events.

Attitude- The same thing, identically the same, if we take itas a gift of God, as a divine grace, helps us to become moreconscious, stronger, more true, while if we take it as a blow fromfate, as a bad force, this constricts us, weighs us down and takesaway from us all consciousness and strength and harmony.

Regarding stomach trouble – It is due to restlessness andagitation. Bring down peace, the Divine Peace, in your stomachand it will be all right.

Regarding fever – Remain peaceful and confident and it willsoon be over. Peace and stillness are the great remedy for disease.When we can bring peace in our cells we are cured.

Be always Benevolent- Be benevolent and you will be freefrom suffering, be always contented and happy, you will radiateyour quiet happiness.

Be always kind, come out of all bitter criticism, see no moreevil in everything, obstinately force yourself to see nothing butthe kind Presence of the Divine grace.

Nervous Envelope

The vital body surrounds the physical body with a kind of

(51a) (52a)

Page 27: Bhagavad Gita

envelope. It is this which protects the body from all contagion,fatigue, exhaustion and even from accidents. Therefore if thisenvelope is wholly intact, it protects you from everything, but alittle too strong an emotion, a little fatigue, some dissatisfactionor any shock is sufficient to scratch it and the slightest scratchallows any kind of intrusion. If you are in perfect vital equilibrium,you do not catch illness. If one becomes aware of the weak spotin one’s envelope, a few minutes concentration, a call to the force(divine force), an inner peace is sufficient for it to be all right.

Accidents

People are not aware of the workings of grace except whenthere has been some danger, that is, when there has been thebeginning of an accident or the accident has taken place andthey have escaped it. Then they become aware. But never arethey aware that if, for instance, a journey or anything whatever,passes without any accident, it is an infinitely higher grace.

Pain and suffering

When pain comes, it comes to teach us something. Thequicker we learn it, the more the need for pain diminishes, andwhen we know the secret, it will no longer be possible to suffer.

The secret is to emerge from the ego, get out of its prison,unite ourselves with the Divine, merge into Him. All moral sufferingmoulds our character and leads you straight to ecstasy.

Fear of Death

Reason teaches us that it is absurd to fear something thatone cannot avoid. The only thing to do is to accept the idea of

death and quietly do the best one can from day to day, from hourto hour, without worrying about what is going to happen. In thesilent and tranquil depths of our being there is a light shiningconstantly, the light of the psychic consciousness. Go in searchof this light, concentrate on it; it is within you. With a perseveringwill, you are sure to find it and as soon as you enter into it, youawake to the sense of immortality.

Rest, Sleep

Proper rest is a very important thing for the sadhana.Before going to sleep, when you lie down to sleep, begin

by relaxing yourself physically. Then offer yourself to the Divinein a complete relaxation. Keep trying until you succeed. At thetime of lying down one should always begin by quieting one’sthoughts. A total relaxation, a kind of complete calm, withouttension in which everthing is stopped. But this is only the beginning.Afterwards, a self-giving as total as possible, of all, from top tobottom, from the outside to the inmost… and you begin repeatingyour mantra, if you have one or any other word which has apower over you, a word leaping from the heart, spontaneously,like a prayer and that sums up your aspiration. After havingrepeated a few times, if you are accustomed to it, you get intotrance. And from that trance you pass into sleep. Even for thosewho have never been in trance, it is good to repeat a mantra, aword, a prayer before going into sleep.

Never go to sleep when you are avery tired. I would adviseyou to rest before you go to sleep. Repose your body, comfortablystretched on a bed or in a easy chair. Then try to relax yournerves.

(53a) (54a)

Page 28: Bhagavad Gita

Consecrating food to God

With food, we take in a formidable amount of inconscience,of tamas, heaviness. This is the origin and rational explanation ofthe religious practice of consecrating one’s food to God beforetaking it.

Physical Culture

If we cultivate the body by a clear-sighted and rationalmethod, at the same time we are helping the growth of the soul.Physical culture is the process of infusing consciousness into thecells of the body. Physical culture is the Sadhana of the body...and helps to hasten the achievement of the goal (soul’s growth).

Conscious Will

The movements we make almost constantly in our everydaylife or which we have to make in our work if it is a physical work,do not help or help very little to develop the muscles and tocreate harmony in the body. The same movements, if they aremade consciously with a definite aim suddenly start helping youto build up your body. Walking to go somewhere and walking asan exercise is not the same thing. It is the conscious will which isimportant. Going up and down the stairs – you cannot imaginehow useful that can be from the point of view of physical culture…you go up ( or come down) with the consciousness of all themuscles which are working and of making them workharmoniously. You will see. Just try a little. This means that youcan use all the movements of your life for a harmoniousdevelopment of the body.

You bend down to pick something up, you open a door,you close it, there are hundred and one things you do constantly

and which you can make use of for your physical culture.- Mother,Health and Healing in Yoga

Yoga means union with the Divine, and the union is effectedthrough offering – it is founded on the offering of yourself to theDivine. You say, “ I am a servant of the Divine, my life is givenabsolutely to the Divine; all my efforts are for the realisation ofthe Divine Life.” You have at every moment to remember it. Youmust feel at every step that you belong to the Divine; you musthave the constant experience that, in whatever you think or do, itis always the Divine Consciousness that is acting through you.You have no longer anything that you can call your own; you feeleverything as coming from the Divine. Live in the feeling that it isthis presence which moves you and doing everything you do.Offer all your movements to it, not only every mental action,every thought and feeling but even the most ordinary and externalactions such as eating. – Mother, Conversations.

Birthdays It is truly a special day in one’s life. It is one of those days

in the year when the supreme descends into us—one of thosedays when our soul comes in contact with the Eternal and, if weremain a little conscious, we can feel his Presence within us. Ifwe make a little effort on this day, we accomplish the work ofmany lives as in a lightning flash. My child, it is a very very specialday, for it is the day of decision, the day one unite with the supremeConsciousness. This day is truly an opportunity in life.—Mother,AIM May 78

In your desire for progress, take great care not to attemptto pull the forces towards you. Give yourself, open yourself butnever try to pull the Force towards you.— Mother, AIM May79

***While doing physical exercise, Yogasana or any physical

work, one should call the Divine Shakti to transform the body.How to purify oneself ? The way is – Lord, Purify me.How to become egoless? The way is – Lord, make me

egoless.***

Personal and Impersonal-Saguna and Nirguna, Activeand Silent Brahman, They are inseparably one.

***The psychic being is the soul, the Purusha in the secret

heart supporting the action of mind, life and body.— Sri Aurobindo.

MEANING OF WORK IN INTEGRAL YOGAI donot mean by work action done in the ego and the

ignorance, for the satisfaction of the ego and in the drive ofrajasic desire. There can be no Karmayoga without the will toget rid of ego, rajas and desire.

I mean by work action done for the Divine and more andmore in union with the Divine–for the Divine alone and nothingelse. Naturally that is not easy at the beginning. But it has tobe begun in the right spirit and attitude, with the right will in

you, then all the rest will come. Works done in this spirit arequite as effective as bhakti or contemplation. One gets by therejection of desire, rajas and ego a quietude and purity intowhich the Peace ineffable can descend; one gets by dedicationof one's will to the Divine, by the merging of one's will in theDivine Will the death of ego and the enlarging into the cosmicconsciousness or else the uplifting into what is above the cosmic;one experiences the separation of Purusha from Prakriti and isliberated from the shackles of the outer nature; one becomesaware of one's inner being and sees the outer [Œ√ √√, ˜Ú, õ∂±Ì] asan instrument; one feels the universal Force doing one's worksand the Self or Purusha watching or witness but free; one feelsall one's works taken from one and done by the universal orsupreme Mother or by the Divine Power controlling and actingfrom behind the heart. By constant referring of all one's willand works to the Divine, love and adoration grow, the psychicbeing comes forward. By the reference to the Power above,we can come to feel it above and its descent and the openingto an increasing consciousness and knowledge. Finally works,bhakti and knowledge go together and self-perfection becomespossible---what we call the transformation of the nature. Thisis Karmayoga laid down in the Gita as I have developed it forthe integral spiritual life. It does not exclude meditation andcertainly does not exclude bhakti, for the self offering to thedivine, the consecration of all oneself to the Divine which is theessence of Karmayoga are essentially a movement of bhakti.Only it does exclude a life-fleeing exclusive meditation or anemotional bhakti shut up in its inner dream taken as the wholemovement of the yoga. One may have hours of pure absorbed

meditation or of the inner motionless adoration and ecstasy,but they are not the whole of the integral yoga.

— Sri Aurobindo, AIM, April, 83

All that is done by the Divine is done for the best evenwhen we cannot understand his action. There are constantfluctuations, persistent disappointments, innumerable falls andfailures. If one has the faith or in absence of faith the will to gothrough, one passes on and enters into the joy and light of thedivine realisation. If one gets some habit of true surrender, thenall this is not necessary; one can enter into the sunlit way.

— Sri Aurobindo, Letters on yoga

Gita's SolutionThe Gita's solution is to rise above our natural being and

normal mind, above our intellectual and ethical perplexities intoanother consciousness with another law of being and thereforeanother standpoint for our action; where personal desire andpersonal emotions no longer govern it; where dualities fall away;where the action is no longer our own and where therefore thesense of personal virtue and personal sin is exceeded; wherethe universal, the impersonal, the divine spirit works out throughus its purpose in the world; where we are ourselves by a newand divine birth changed into being of that Being, consciousnessof that Consciousness, power of that Power, bliss of that Bliss,and living no longer in our lower nature, have no works to doof our own, no personal aim to pursue of our own, but if wedo works at all,--- and that is the one real problem and difficultyleft---do, do only divine works, those of which our outwardnature is only a passive instrument and no longer the cause, no

longer provides the motive; for the motive-power is above usin the will of the Master of our works. And this is presentedto us as the true solution. We can only know this greater truthby living it, that is to say, by passing beyond the mental into thespiritual experience, by Yoga.

This upward transference of our centre of being and theconsequent transformation of our whole existence andconsciousness, with a resultant change in the whole spirit andmotive of our action, the action often remaining same in all itsoutward appearances, makes the gist of the Gita's Karmayoga.Change your being, be reborn into the spirit and by that newbirth proceed with the action to which the Spirit within hasappointed you, may be said to be the heart of the message.Make the work you have to do here your means of innerspiritual rebirth, the divine birth, and having become divine, dostill divine works as an instrument of the Divine for the leadingof the peoples. The soul in us develops itself by life and worksand, not indeed so much the action itself, but the way of oursoul's inner force of working its relations to the Spirit. This is,indeed, the justification of Karmayoga as a practical means ofthe higher self-realisation

"But other than these two is the highest spirit calledthe supreme Self, who enters the three worlds and upbearsthem, the imperishable Lord," (15/17). This verse is the keywordof the Gita's reconciliation of these two apparently oppositeaspects of our existence.

***The being of man is composed of these elements---The

psychic behind supporting all, the inner mental, vital and physical,and the outer, quite external nature of mind, life and bodywhich is their instrunemt of expression. But above all is thecentral being (Jivatma) which uses them all for its manifestation;it is a portion of the Divine Self.

To call in the light of the Divine Consciousness from above,to bring the psychic being to the front and kindle a flame ofaspiration which will awaken spirtually the outer mind and seton fire the vital being, is the way out. [’±R±1 ’ø¢üÀ ˛ fl¡±˜Ú±1

The Mother's Force is the Divine Force which works toremove the ignorance and change the nature into the divinenature.—AIM Sept'79

Mother's consciousness and mine are the same, the oneDivine Consciousness in two, because that is necessary for theplay.— AIM Feb'74.

Divine Grace- It (Divine Grace) is not a universal DivineCompassion acting impartially on all who approach it andacceding to all prayers. It does not select the righteous andreject the sinner. It is a power that is superior to any rule, evento the Cosmic Law. A state of Grace is prepared in the individualoften behind thick veils by means not calculable by the mindand when the state of Grace comes, then the Grace itself acts.There are three powers : (1) Cosmic Law or Karma, (2) theDivine Compassion, (3) the Divine Grace. If one wants theDivine quickly, absolutely, entirely, that must be the spirit ofapproach, absolute, all-engrossing, making that the one pointwith which nothing else must interfere. Only the Divine himselfmatters. When your consciousness embraces the Divine, thenyou can know what Divine is, not before.

– AIM, May 74, Sri AurobindoWhat to surrender - The most important surrender is

the surrender of your character, your way of being, so that itmay change. If you donot surrender your very nature, neverwill this nature change.

Necessity of a mantra and how to get it

I have come to realise that for this sadhana of the body,the mantra is essential. I repeat my mantra constantly when Iam awake and even when I sleep. This mantra- OM NAMOBHAGAVATEH came to me. I saw that I needed to have amantra. And it was just then that it came. So if you feel theneed it will come. One day either you will hear the words orthey will spring forth from your heart.

— Mother, Mother's Agenda, Vol. I, p.301 and p.197

How to solve a problem

You find yourself facing a so-called problem : "What amI to say? What am I to do? There is nothing to do ! Nothingbut to say to the Lord, "You see, here is the situation." Thatis all. And keep very still. And spontaneously, without thinkingabout it, ... you do what must be done. But it is the Lord whodoes it.

—Mother, Mother's Agenda, Vol-3. P.377

OM (AUM)

OM is the mantra, the expressive sound-symbol of theBrahman-Consciousness in its four domains from the Turiya(consciousness of the Absolute or pure existence) to the externalor material plane. OM if rightly used (not mechanically) mightvery well help the opening upwards and outwards (cosmicconsciousness) as well as its descent. – Sri Aurobindo, AIM,Ap-84

OM is the symbol of the triple Brahman, the outwardlooking (the waking state- the consciousness of the materialuniverse), the inward or subtle (the dream state- theconsciousnes corresponding to the subtler life-plane and mindplane) and the superconscient casual Purusha (the sleep state-the consciousness corresponding to the supramental plane).Each letter A, U, M indicates one of these three in ascendingorder and the syllable as a whole brings out the fourth state,Turiya, which rises to the Absolute.

—Sri Aurobindo, Essays on the Gita.Casual- being the cause, A-waking soul, U-Dream Soul,

M-Sleep soul, supramental plane, Turiya- the fourth state,Absolute.

Suicide

Sadhana has to be done in the body, it cannot be done bythe soul without the body. If one throws away the body willfully,[˚ø√ Œfl¡±ÀÚ±Àª ’±R √√Ó¬…± fl¡À1] one suffers much in the other worldsand when one is born again, it is worse, not in better conditions[’±R √√Ó¬…± fl¡ø1À˘ ¬Û±Â√1 Ê√ijÓ¬ Œ¬ıøÂ√ fl¡©Ü √√ ˛] The only sensible thingis to face the difficulties in this life and body and conquer them.

— Sri Aurobindo, pract. guideSupermind

Supermind is between the Sachchidananda and the lowercreation. Suprmind alone contains the self-determining Truth ofthe Divine Consciousness and is necessary for truth creation.One can realise Sachchidananda in relation to the mind, life andbody also but then it is something stable, supporting by its presencethe lower Prakriti but not transforming it.

It is the Supramental Power that transforms mind, life andbody-not the Sachchidananda consciousness which supportsimpartially everything. But it is by having experience of theSachchidananda, pure existence – consciousness – bliss, thatthe ascent to the Supramental and the descent of the Supramentalbecome possible. Overmind stands at the top of the lowerhemisphere. ( matter, life, mind ’±1n∏ overmind ¤Àfl¡˘À· lowerhemisphere ¬ı± lower creation ’±1n∏ supermind, Sachchidanandafl¡ upper hemisphere Œfl¡±ª± √√ ˛]º

No sadhak can reach the Supermind by his own efforts andthe effort to do it by personal tapasya has been the source ofmany mishaps. One has to go quietly stage by stage until thebeing is ready and even then it is only the Grace that can bring

the real Supramental change.(Inconsistent-1 evolution-1 Ù¬˘Ó¬ SêÀ˜ matter, life, mind

Once the Supermind has descended upon a God-seeker,all the relations with Divine will be his: the trinity of God-knowledge, divine works and devotion to God will open withinhim and move towards an utter self-giving and surrender of hiswhole being and nature. He will live in God and with God, possessGod, even plunge in him forgetting all separate personality, butnot losing it in self- extinction.

Karma Yoga- Sri Aurobinda has said that we get God’stouch everytime we offer a work to Him.

Foundation of SadhanaIt is not possible to make a foundation in yoga if the mind is

restless. The first thing needed is quiet in the mind. The first thingto do in the sadhana is to get a settled peace and silence in themind. A quiet mind does not mean that there will be no thoughtsor mental movements at all, but that these will be on the surfaceand you will feel your true being within separate from them,observing but not carried away, able to watch and judge themand reject all that has to be rejected and to accept and keep toall that is true consciousness and true experience.

Silence is always good; but I do not mean by quietness ofmind entire silence. I mean a mind free from disturbance and trouble,steady, light and glad so as to open to the Force that will changethe nature. The important thing is to get rid of the habit of theinvasion of troubling thoughts, wrong feelings, confusion of ideas,

(67a) (68a)unhappy movements. These disturb the nature and cloud it andmake it difficult for the Force to work; when the mind is quiet andat peace, the Force can work more easily. (Force-Divine Shakti).

Remember first that an inner quietude, caused by thepurification of the restless mind and vital, is the first condition ofa secure sadhana. Keep the quietude and do not mind if it is fora time an empty quietude; the consciouness is often like a vesselwhich has to be emptied of its mixed or undesirable contents; ithas to be kept vacant for a while till it can be filled with thingsnew and true, right and pure. Meanwhile call very quietly andsteadily for the peace to come into the silence. Silence of themind, peace or calm in mind are three things that are very closetogether and bring each other.

Man’s nature is like a cup of dirty water–the water has tobe thrown out, the cup left clean and empty for the divine liquorto be poured into it.

–Sri Aurobindo, Letters on Yoga, Vol.2, April 71

GraceAs for your fitness or unfitness for the yoga, it is not a

question on which your physical mind can be a judge. In fact, thequestion is not fitness or unfitness but of the acceptance of grace.There is no human being whose physical outer consciouness–thepart of yourself in which you are now living is fit for the yoga. Itis by Grace and a light from above that it can become capableand for that the necessity is to be perservering and open it to theLight. Everybody when he enters the physical consciousness hasthe same difficulty and feels as if he were unfit, and nothing done,nothing changed in him since he began yoga, he is apt to forgetthen all that has happened before.

For they are of no valuein themselves, but only as a means to the right maintenance ofsocial and national life and it is these very aims that in theperson of his kin and his race he is about to destroy.

And then comes the cry of emotions.

Whatpleasure can there be in life, what happiness, what satisfactionin oneself after such a deed ?

45-46 - "Therefore", cries Arjuna, casting down the divinebow "it is more for my welfare that the sons of Dhritarashtraarmed should slay me unarmed and unresisting. I will not fight"– (4)

The teaching of the Gita must be regarded not merely inthe light of general principle of philosophy or ethical doctrine,but as bearing upon a practical crisis in the application ofethics and philosophy to human life. For what that crisis stands,what is the significance of the battle of Kurukshetra and itseffect on Arjuna's inner being, we have to determine if wewould grasp the central drift of the idea of the Gita.

The teacher is God himself descended into humanity; thedisciple is the representative man of his age, closest friend andchosen instrument of the Avatar.

The Gita accepts the human Avatarhood; for the Lord speaksof the repeated, the constant manifestation of the Divine inhumanity, when He the eternal Unborn assumes by His Maya,by the power of the infinite Consciousness to clothe itselfapparently in human forms. (The Divine Teacher)

Arjuna, the disciple who receives his initiation on the battle-field is the type of the struggling human soul who has not yetreceived the knowledge, but has grown fit to receive it. TheGita is written in plain terms and professes to solve the greatethical and spiritual difficulties which the life of man raises.Arjuna is the representative man of a great world-struggle anddivinely-guided movement of men and nations; in Gita he typifiesthe human soul of action. The Gita starts from action and Arjunais the man of action and not of knowledge, the fighter, never theseer or the thinker.

’Ê«≈√Ú ø¬ı ∏±√-Œ˚±··œÓ¬±

[12][11]

Page 42: Bhagavad Gita

Arjuna is a man subject to the action of the three gunas ormodes of the Nature-Force. He has lived and guided himself bythe Shastra, the moral and social code. The standard which heobeys is The dharma, social and moral rule of conduct. Followingalways this rule, conscious of virtue and right dealing he hastravelled so far and finds suddenly that it has led him to becomethe protagonist of a terrific and unparallelled slaughter, amonstrous civil war involving all the cultured Aryan nationswhich must lead to the complete destruction of the flower oftheir manhood and threatens their ordered civilisation with chaosand collapse.

The character of this inner crisis is not the questioning ofthe thinker; it is not recoil from the appearances of life and aturning of the eye inward in search of the truth of things, thereal meaning of existence and a solution. It is the sensational,emotional and moral revolt of the man hitherto satisfied withaction and its current standards who finds himself cast by theminto a hideous chaos where they are in violent conflict witheach other and with themselves and there is no moral standingground left, nothing to lay hold of and walk by, no dharma. Thatfor the soul of action in the mental being is the worst possiblecrisis, failure and overthrow. The whole upshot is that all-embracing inner bankruptcy which Arjuna expresses when hesays that his whole conscious being, not thought alone but heartand vital desires and all, are utterly bewildered and can findnowhere dharma, nowhere any valid law of action. For thisalone he takes refuge as a disciple with Krishna; give me, heasks, a true law, a clear rule of action, a path by which I canagain confidently walk.

To such a disciple the Teacher of the Gita gives his divineteaching. He seizes him at a moment of his psychological de-velopment by egoistic action when all the mental, moral, emotional

values of the ordinary egoistic and social life of man havecollapsed in a sudden bankruptcy, and he has to lift him up outof this lower life into a higher consciousness (The humandisciple).

The title of the first chapter of the Gita calls significantly theYoga of dejection of Arjuna, the dejection and discouragementfelt by the human being when he is forced to face the spectacleof the universe as it really is. It is that aspect which is figuredoutwardly in the carnage and massacre of Kurukshetra andspiritually by the vision of the Lord of all things as Time arisingto devour and destroy the creatures whom it has made. This isthe vision of the Lord of all existence as the universal Creator butalso the universal Destroyer. The outward aspect is that of world-existence and human existence proceeding by struggle andstaughter; the inward aspect is that of the universal Being fulfillinghimself in a vast creation and a vast destruction. Life a battle anda field of death, this is Kurukshetra; God the Terrible, this is thevision that Arjuna sees on that field of massacre.

This is certain that there is no construction withoutdestruction, no continued existence of life except by a constantself-feeding and devouring of other life (Kurukshetra).

War typifies and embodies physically the aspect of battleand struggle which belongs to all life, both to our inner and ourouter living, in a world whose method is a meeting and wrestlingof forces which progress by mutual destruction towards acontinually changing adjustment expressive of a progressiveharmonising and hopeful of a perfect harmony (Man and thebattle of life).

Arjuna is the divine man, the master man in the makingand as such he has been chosen by the gods. He has a workgiven to him, he has God beside him in his chariot, he has theheavenly bow Gandiva in his hand, he has the champions of

’Ê«≈√Ú ø¬ı ∏±√-Œ˚±··œÓ¬±

unrighteousness, the opponents of the divine leading of the worldin his front. Not his is the right to determine what he shall door not according to his emotions and his passions or to shrinkfrom a necessary destruction. He has to see only the work thatmust be done, kartavyam karma, to hear only the divinecommand, to feel only for the world and the destiny of mankindcalling to him as its god-sent man to assist its march and clearits path of the dark armies that beset it. His whole consciousnessis bewildered in its view of right and wrong and he accepts thedivine Friend as his teacher.

It is the creed of the Aryan fighter. "Know God", it says,"Know thyself, help man; protect the Right, do without fear orweakness or faltering thy work of battle in the world. Thou artthe eternal and imperishable Spirit, thy soul is here on its upwardpath to immortality; life and death are nothing, sorrow and woundsand suffering are nothing. Look not at thy own pleasure and gainand profit. Men call to thee, their strong man; help then, fight.Destroy when by destruction the world must advance, but hatenot which thou destroyest, neither grieve for those who perish.Know everywhere the one self know all as Brahman, know allto be immortal souls and body to be but dust. Do thy work witha calm, strong and equal spirit; fight and fall nobly or conquermightily. For this is the work that God and thy nature have givento thee to accomplish. (The creed of the Aryan fighter).

Sri Aurobindo Essays on the Gita

Arjuna Bisada YogaQuotations from Essays on The Gita

Ch. The Human Disciple- 1-4

¶¶¶¶

Jiva or Jivatma- It is the Ishwara, Vasudeva who is allthings, that takes up our mind and life and body for the enjoymentof the lower Prakriti; it is the supreme Prakriti, the original spiri-tual nature of the supreme Purusha that holds together the uni-verse and appears in it as the Jiva, (7/5). This Jiva then is aportion of the Purushottama's original divine spiritual being, aliving power of the living Eternal. A portion of the Transcendent,creative, he creates his own world around him even while heretains this cosmic consciousness in which are all others.

—Essays on the Gita (The supreme secret)

It is only when man awakes to the knowledge of the souland feels a need to bring it to the front and make it the masterof his life and action that a quicker conscious method of evo-lution intervenes and a psychic transformation becomes possible.

– Sri Aurobindo, Life Divine (The triple transformation)

Sri Aurobindo’s mantraTat savitur varam rupam jyotih parasya dhimahi, yannah satyena

dipayet.Meaning

Let us meditate on the most auspicious (best) form of Savitri, onthe Light of the Supreme which shall illumine us with the Truth.Simple meaning–O God, give us Light. (To keep the meaning in mindis important).

1–3- Arjuna has lapsed into unheroic weakness, “his eyesfull and distressed with tears, his heart overcome by depressionand discouragement,” because he is invaded by pity,Kripayavistam. “Whence has come to thee this dejection, this

stain and darkness of soul in the hour of difficulty and peril?”asked Krishna of Arjuna. That is not compassion but an impotencefull of a weak self-pity….. self-pity is most ignoble and un-Aryan of moods. This pity is a weakness of mind. This way isnot for the developed Aryan man. He has to see only the workthat must be done, Kartavyam Karma-(A1)

4,5–He (Arjuna) attempts to justify his refusal of his workand puts forward in its support the claim of his nervous andsensational being which shrinks from the slaughter with its sequelof blood-stained enjoyments... appalled by the necessity of slayinghis gurus, Bhishma and Drona.– (A2)

Living in Krishna, even enmity becomes a play of love and thewrestling of brothers.

The heavens beyond are great and wondeful but greater and morewonderful are the heavens within you.– Sri Aurobindo,Ths & Aphs

Page 50: Bhagavad Gita

being (soul) and becoming (universe) finds its end in the realisationof the soul as the one imperishable self (Paramatman, Lord) bywhom all this universe has been extended. Finite bodies (transientbodies) have an end, but that (soul) which possesses and usesthe body is infinite, eternal, indestructible. It (soul) casts awayold and takes up new bodies as a man changes worn-out raimentfor new; and what is there in this to grieve at and recoil andshrink?

This (soul) is not born, nor does it die, nor is it a thing thatcomes into being once and passing away will never come intobeing again. It is unborn ancient, sempiternal (everlasting); it isnot slain with the slaying of the body. Weapons cannot cleaveit, nor the fire burn, nor do the waters drench it, nor the winddry. Eternally stable, immobile, all-pervading, it is for ever andfor ever. Not manifested like the body, but greater than allmanifestation, not to be analysed by the thought, but greaterthan all mind, not capable of change and modification like thelife and its organs but beyond the changes of mind and life andbody. If the self (soul) were constantly subject to birth anddeath, still the death of beings ought not to be a cause of sorrow.Its birth is an appearing out of some state in which it is not non-existent but unmanifest to our mortal senses, its death is a returnto that unmanifest world or condition and out of it it will againappear in the physical manifestation. Our sorrow for the deathof men is an ignorant grieving, since they have neither gone outof existence nor suffered any painful or terrible change ofcondition. The higher truth is the real truth. All are that Self, thatOne, that Divine whom we look on and speak and hear of asthe wonderful beyond our comprehension… no human mind hasever known this Absolute. It is this which is here veiled by theworld, master of the body; all life is only its shadow; the comingof the soul into physical manifestation and our passing out of it

by death is only one of its minor movements. When we haveknown ourselves as this, then to speak of ourselves as slayer orslain is an absurdity. One thing only is the truth, the Eternalmanifesting itself as the soul of man in the great cycle of itspilgrimage with birth and death for milestones, with worldsbeyond as resting places, with all the circumstances of lifehappy or unhappy as the means of our progress... and withimmortality as the home to which the soul travels.

Therefore, says the Teacher, put away this vain sorrowand shrinking, fight, O son of Bharata. But how does it justifythe action demanded of Arjuna and the slaughter of Kuruksetra?The answer is that this is the action required of Arjuna in thepath of his travel; it has come inevitably in the performance ofthe function demanded of him by his savdharma, his socialduty, the law of his life and the law of his being. It is a worldof mutual help and struggle; not a serene and peaceful glidingthrough easy joys is the progress it allows us, but every stephas to be gained by heroic effort and through a clash of opposingforces. Those who take up the inner and the outer struggleeven to the most physical clash of all, that of war, are theKshatriyas, the mighty men; war, force, nobility courage aretheir nature; protection of the right is their virtue and theirduty. The champion and standard-bearer of the Right must notshake and tremble; he must not abandon his followers or fellow-fighters, betray his cause and leave the standard of Right andJustice. His virtue and his duty lie in battle and not in abstentionfrom battle “There is no greater good for the Kshatriya thanrighteous battle, and when such a battle comes to them ofitself like the open gate to heaven, happy are the Kshatriyasthen. If thou dost not this battle for the right, then hast thouabandoned thy duty and virtue and thy glory, and sin shall bethy portion.” He will incur disgrace and the reproach of fear

and weakness and loss of honour. It is the loss of his honour,his fame, his noble station among the mighty men of courageand power; that to him is much worse than death. “Slain thoushalt win Heaven, victorious thou shalt enjoy the earth; thereforearise, O son of Kunti, resolved upon battle.” The Teacher bidshim to make grief and happiness, loss and gain, victory anddefeat equal to his soul and then turn to the battle, –the realteaching of the Gita. Put away all egoism from you, disregardjoy and sorrow, disregard gain and loss and all worldly results;look only at the cause you must serve and the work that youmust achieve by divine command, “so thou shalt not incur sin.”(A7)

39- I have declared to you the poise of a self-liberatingintelligence in Sankhya, says the divine Teacher to Arjuna. I willnow declare to you another poise in Yoga. My Yoga will free youfrom all bondage of the soul to its works, karmabandhamprahasyasi. You are afraid of sin, afraid of suffering, afraid ofhell and punishment. But this is the great fear which besiegeshumanity, its fear of sin and suffering now and hereafter. MyYoga will deliver you from the great fear. "Abandon all laws ofconduct and take refuge in Me alone; I will deliver you from allsin and evil; do not grieve." (18/66) – (1)

Yoga – We mean by this term a methodised effort towardsself-perfection by the expression of the potentialities latent in thebeing and a union of the human individual with the universal andtranscendent Existence we see partially expressed in man andin Cosmos. But all life, when we look behind its appearances,is a vast Yoga of Nature. In man, she devises self-consciousmeans and willed arrangements of activity by which this great

¸±—‡…√-Œ˚±··œÓ¬±

[32][31]

Page 52: Bhagavad Gita

purpose may be more swiftly and puissantly attained. Yoga, asSwami Vivekananda has said, may be regarded as a means ofcompressing one's evolution into a single life or a few years oreven a few months of bodily existence.

That which Nature has evolved for us and has firmly foundedis the bodily life. She has effected a certain combination andharmony of the two inferior but most fundamentally necessaryelements of our action and progress upon earth – Matter is ourfoundation and the first condition of all our energies andrealisations, and the Life-Energy which is our means of existencein a material body. The body is the instrument provided for thefulfilment of the right law of our nature. The perfecting of thebody also should be the last triumph of the spirit and to makethe bodily life also divine must be God's final seal upon His workin the universe. The obstacle which the physical presents to thespiritual is no argument for the rejection of the physical; for ourgreatest difficulties are our best opportunities.

Equally, the vital and nervous energies in us are there fora great utility; they too demand the divine realisation of theirpossibilities in our ultimate fulfilment.

In India, for the last thousand years and more, the spirituallife and the material have existed side by side to the exclusionof the progressive mind. The schools of Indian Yoga lentthemselves to the compromise. Individual perfection or liberationwas made the aim, seclusion of some kind from ordinary activitiesthe condition, the renunciation of life the culmination. The releaseof the individual soul remained the aim. The material life lost thedivine impulse to growth, the spiritual preserved by isolation itsheight and purity, but sacrificed its full power and serviceablenessto the world. [material life ’±1n∏ spiritual life ≈√Ȭ± ø¬ı¬Û1œÓ¬ ¬ıd ¬ı≈ø˘Œ˘±ª± fl¡±1ÀÌ ’±Ò…±øRfl¡ Ê√œªÚ ¢∂˝√√Ì fl¡1± ˜˝√√±R±¸fl¡˘1 ¬Û1± ¸˜±ÀÊ√ ¬Û±¬ı ¬Û1±service ø‡øÚ Ú±¬Û±À˘º]

We have to recognise once more that the individual existsnot in himself alone but in collectivity and that individual perfectionand liberation are not the whole sense of God's intention in theworld. The free use of liberty includes also the liberation ofothers and of mankind; the perfect utility of our perfection is,having realised in ourselves the divine symbol, to reproduce,multiply and ultimately universalise others.

Spirit is the crown of universal existence; Matter is itsbasis; Mind is the link between the two. Spirit is that which iseternal; Mind and Matter are its workings. Spirit is that whichis concealed and has to be revealed; mind and body are themeans by which it seeks to reveal itself. All Nature is an attemptat a progressive revelation of the concealed Truth.

But what Nature aims at for the mass in a slow evolution,Yoga effects for the individual by a rapid revolution. It works byquickening of all her energies, a sublimation of all her faculties.While she develops the spiritual life with difficulty, theconcentrated method of Yoga can attain directly and carry withit the perfection of the mind and perfection of the body. Natureseeks the Divine in her own symbols; Yoga goes beyond Natureto the Lord of Nature, beyond universe to the Transcendent andcan return with the Transcendent light and power, with the fiatof the Omnipotent.

In practice three conceptions are necessary before therecan be any possibility of Yoga; there must be, as it were, threeconsenting parties to the effort, – God, Nature and the humansoul or, in more abstract language, the Transcendental, theUniversal and the Individual.

The contact of the human and individual consciousness withthe divine is the very essence of Yoga. Yoga is the union of thatwhich has become separated in the play of the universe with itsown true self, origin and universality. The contact may take place

¸±—‡…√-Œ˚±··œÓ¬±

[34][33]

Page 53: Bhagavad Gita

at any point of the complex and intricately organised consciousnesswhich we call our personality. It may be effected in the physicalthrough the body; in the vital through our nervous being; throughthe mentality whether by means of the emotional heart, the activewill or the understanding mind, or more largely by a generalconversion of the mental consciousness in all activities. It mayequally be accomplished through a direct awakening to the universalor transcendent Truth and Bliss by the conversion of the centralego in the mind. And according to the point of contact that wechoose will be the type of the Yoga that we practice.

Hathayoga selects the body and the vital [Life energy,pran shakti] functionings as its instruments of perfection andrealisation. Rajayoga selects the mental being in its differentparts as its lever-power; it concentrates on the subtle body.The triple path of Works, of Love and of Knowledge usessome part of the mental being, will, heart or intellect as astarting point and seeks by its conversion to arrive at theliberating Truth, Beatitude and Infinity. Its method is a directcommerce between the human Purusha in the individual bodyand the divine Purusha.

Hathayoga aims at the conquest of the life and body. Rajayogatakes a higher flight. It aims at the liberation and perfection notof the bodily, but of the mental being, the control of the emtionaland sensational life, the mastery of the whole apparatus of thoughtand consciousness. The preliminary movement of Rajayoga is acareful self-discipline. By the practice of truth, by renunciation ofall forms of egoistic seeking, by purity, by constant meditation andinclination to the divine Purusha, a pure, glad, clear state of mindand heart is established.

Afterwards, the ordinary activities of the mind and sensemust be entirely quieted in order that the soul may be free toascend to higher states of consciousness.

The triple Path of devotion, knowledge and works attemptsthe province which Rajayoga leaves unoccupied. It differs fromRajayoga in that it does not occupy itself with the elaborate trainingof the whole mental system as the condition of perfection, butseizes on certain central principles, the intellect, the heart, the will,and seeks to convert their normal operations by turning themaway from their ordinary and external preoccupations and activitiesand concentrating them on the Divine. It differs also in this, – andhere from the point of view of an integral Yoga [Purna Yoga], –that it is indifferent to mental and bodily perfection and aims onlyat purity as a condition of the divine realisation.

The Path of knowledge aims at the realisation of the uniqueand supreme Self. It proceeds by the method of intellectualreflection, vicara, to right discrimination, viveka. It observesand distinguishes the different elements of our apparent orphenomenal being [mind, life, body] and rejecting identificationwith each of them arrives at their exclusion and separation asconstituents of Prakriti, of phenomenal Nature, creations of Maya,the phenomenal consciousness. So it is able to arrive at its rightidentification with the pure and unique Self which is not mutableor perishable. From this point the path, as ordinarily followed,leads to the rejection of the phenomenal worlds [material world]from the consciousness as an illusion and the final immergencewithout return of the individual soul in the Supreme.

But this exclusive consummation is not the sole or inevitableresult of the Path of Knowledge. For, followed more largely andwith a less individual aim, the method of knowledge may lead toan active conquest of the cosmic existence for the Divine. Thepoint of departure is the realisation of the supreme Self not onlyin one's own being but in all beings and, finally, the realisationof even the phenomenal aspect of the world as a play of divineconsciousness.

¸±—‡…√-Œ˚±··œÓ¬±

[36][35]

Page 54: Bhagavad Gita

The Path of Devotion aims at the enjoyment of the supremeLove and Bliss and utilises normally the conception of the supremeLord in His personality as the divine lover and enjoyer of theuniverse. This path, too, leads away from world-existence to anabsorption, of another kind.

The Path of Works aims at the dedication of every humanactivity to the supreme Will. It begins by the renunciation of allegoistic aim for our works. By this renunciation it so purifies themind and the will that we become easily conscious of the greatuniversal Energy as the true doer of all our actions and the Lordof that Energy as their ruler and director with the individual asan instrument or a conscious centre of action. The object is therelease of the soul from its bondage to appearances and to thereaction of phenomenal activities.

We can see also that in the integral view of things thesethree paths are one.

Synthesis

To Know, be and possess the Divine is the one thing needfuland it includes or leads up to all the rest; towards this sole goodwe have to drive.

The synthesis [of Yoga] we propose cannot be arrived ateither by combination in mass or by successive practice. It musttherefore be effected by neglecting the forms and outsides ofthe Yogic disciplines and seizing rather on some central principlecommon to all which will include and utilise in the right placeand proportion their particular principles, and some centraldynamic force which is the common secret of their divergentmethods. In all the lord of the Yoga is the Purusha, the consciousSoul that knows, observes, attracts, governs. The Nature-Soul ishis executive Energy. Purusha is of the nature of Sat, conscious

self-existence pure and infinite; Shakti or Prakriti is of the natureof Chit, – it is power of the Purusha's self-conscious existence,pure and infinite. The relation of the two exists between thepoles of rest and action. When the energy is absorbed in thebliss of conscious self-existence, there is rest; when the Purushapours itself out in the action of its Energy, there is action, creationand enjoyment or Ananda of becoming [¸‘ø©Ü]. If Ananda is thecreator and begetter of all becoming, its method is Tapas orforce of the Purusha's consciousness dwelling upon its owninfinite potentiality and producing from it truths of conception orreal Idea, vijnana, which, proceeding from an omniscient andomnipotent Self-existence, have the surety of their own fulfilmentand contain in themselves the nature and law of their ownbecoming in the terms of mind, life and matter. The eventualomnipotence of Tapas and the infallible fulfilment of the Ideaare the very foundation of all Yoga. In man we render theseterms by Will and Faith, a will that is eventually self-effectivebecause it is of the substance of knowledge and a faith that isthe reflex in the lower consciousness of a Truth or real Idea yetunrealised in manifestation. It is this self-certainty of the Ideawhich is meant by the Gita when it says, Yo yacchraddhah saeva sah, (17/3), "Whatever is a man's faith or the sure Idea inhim, that he becomes." [In human level, divine Tapas becomeswill and Idea becomes faith. For Yoga these two are absolutelynecessary. If we believe firmly that we can become Divine, oneday we will become Divine.]

The whole of life is the Yoga of Nature. The differencebetween the Yogin and the natural man will be this, that theYogin seeks to substitute in himself for the integral action of thelower nature working in and by ego and division the integralaction of the higher Nature working in and by God and unity.

¸±—‡…√-Œ˚±··œÓ¬±

[38][37]

Page 55: Bhagavad Gita

The method we have to pursue, then, is to put our wholeconscious being into relation and contact with the Divine and tocall Him in to transform our entire being into His, so that in asense God Himself, the real Person in us, becomes the sadhakaof the sadhana as well as the Master of the Yoga by whom thelower personality is used as the centre of a divine transfiguration.

It requires a colossal faith, an absolute courage and aboveall an unflinching patience. In fact, however, the divine strength,often unobserved and behind the veil, substitutes itself for ourweakness and supports us through all our failings of faith, courageand patience. It "makes the blind to see and the lame to strideover the hills."

Perfection includes perfection of mind and body, so that thehighest results of Raja Yoga and Hathayoga should be containedin the widest formula of the synthesis finally to be effected bymankind. [Introduction]

The supreme Shastra of the integral Yoga is the eternalVeda secret in the heart of every thinking and living being. Thelotus of the eternal knowledge and the eternal perfection is abud closed and folded up within us. It opens swiftly or gradually,petal by petal, through successive realisations, once the mind ofman begins to turn towards the Eternal. He who chooses theInfinite has been chosen by the Infinite. He has received thedivine touch without which there is no awakening, no opening ofthe spirit; but once it is received attainment is sure, whetherconquered swiftly in the course of one human life or pursuedpatiently through many stadia of the cycle of existence in themanifested universe.

Nothing can be taught to the mind which is not alreadyconcealed as potential knowledge in the unfolding soul of thecreature. We know the Divine and become the Divine, becausewe are That already in our secret nature. All teaching is a

revealing, all becoming is an unfolding. Self-attainment is thesecret; self-knowledge and an increasing consciousness are themeans and the process.

The usual agency of this revealing is the Word, the thingheard (sruta). The Word may come to us from within; it maycome to us from without. But in either case, it is only an agencyfor setting the hidden knowledge to work. The Word within maybe the utterance of the inmost soul in us. The word from without,representative of the Divine, is needed as an aid in the work ofself-unfolding. The representative influence occupies a muchlarger place in the life of the sadhaka. If the Yoga is guided bya received written Shastra, – some word from the past whichembodies the experience of former Yogins, – it may be practisedeither by personal effort alone or with the aid of a Guru. Thespiritual knowledge is then gained through meditation on thetruths that are taught and it is made living and conscious by theirrealisation in the personal experience. But he must live in hisown soul beyond the written Truth, – sabdabrahmativartate (6/44) – beyond all that he has heard and all that he has yet tohear, – srotavyasa srutasya ca (2/52). For he is not the sadhakaof a book or of many books; he is a sadhaka of the Infinite. Anintegral and synthetic Yoga needs especially not to be bound byany written or traditional shastra.

As the supreme shastra of the integral Yoga is the eternalVeda secret in the heart of every man, so its supreme Guideand Teacher is the inner Guide, the World Teacher, jagad-guru,secret within us. It is he who destroys our darkness by theresplendent light of his knowledge. He discloses progressivelyin us his own nature of freedom, bliss, love, power, immortalbeing.

What is his method and his system? He has no methodand every method. This inner Guide is often veiled at first by

¸±—‡…√-Œ˚±··œÓ¬±

[40][39]

Page 56: Bhagavad Gita

the very intensity of our personal effort and by the ego'spreoccupation with itself and its aims. As we gain clarity, werecognise the source of the growing light within us. Now webegin to understand the sense of our struggles and efforts,successes and failures. At last we are able to seize the meaningof our ordeals and sufferings and can appreciate the help thatwas given us by all that hurt and resisted and the utility of ourvery falls and stumblings. We feel the eternal presence of asupreme Master, friend, Lover, Teacher. We recognise it in theessence of our being as that develops into likeness and onenesswith a greater and wider existence; for we perceive that thismiraculous development is not the result of our own efforts; aneternal Perfection is moulding us into its own image. One whois the Lord or Ishwara is the Master of our Yoga.

To be possessed by him and possess him in ourselves andin all things is the term of all empire and mastery. To enjoy himin all experience of passivity and activity, of peace and of power,of unity and of difference is the happiness which the jiva, theindividual soul manifested in the world, is obscurely seeking.This is the entire definition of the aim of integral Yoga. It is theconversion of the human soul into divine soul and of natural lifeinto divine living.

The divine working is not the working which the egoisticmind desires or approves; for it uses error in order to arriveat truth, suffering in order to arrive at bliss, imperfection inorder to arrive at perfection. The ego cannot see where it isbeing led; it revolts against the leading, loses confidence,loses courage. These failings would not matter; for the divineGuide is not offended by our revolt, not discouraged by ourwant of faith or repelled by our weakness; he has the entirelove of the mother and the entire patience of the teacher.(The four aids)

Self-consecration

All Yoga is in its nature a new birth; it is a birth out of theordinary, the mentalised material life of man into a higher spiritualconsciousness and a greater and diviner being. The soul that iscalled to this deep and vast change, may arrive in different ways.It may come to it by its own natural development; it may reachit through the influence of a religion; it may approach it by a slowillumination or leap to it by a sudden touch or shock; it may bepushed or led to it by the pressure of outward circumstances orby an inward necessity, by a single word that breaks the seals ofthe mind or by long reflection, by the distant example of one whohas trod the path or by contact and daily influence. According tothe nature and the circumstances the call will come.

But in whatever way it comes, there must be a decisionof the mind and the will and, as its result, a complete andeffective self-consecration. The acceptance of a new spiritualidea-force and upward orientation in the being, an illumination,a turning or conversion seized on by the will and heart'saspiration, this is the momentous act. Truth of the spirit has notto be merely thought but to be lived, and to live it demands aunified-single-mindedness of the being. He who seeks the Divinemust consecrate himself to God and to God only.

The self-consecration follows upon the choice. The feetare already set upon the path. The secret Teacher, the innerGuide is already at work. Whatever difficulties and hesitationsmay ensue, they cannot eventually prevail. The call, once decisive,stands. No weakness in the nature can for long be an obstacle.

But if we desire to make the most of the opportunity thatthis life gives us, it is essential that there should be an entireself-giving.

Page 57: Bhagavad Gita

Concentration is indeed the first condition of any Yoga, butit is an all-receiving concentration that is the very nature of theintegral Yoga. A separate strong fixing of the thought, of theemotions or of the will on a single idea, object, state, innermovement or principle is no doubt a frequent need here also; butthis is only a subsidiary helpful process. A wide massive opening,a harmonised concentration of the whole being in all its partsand through all its powers upon the One who is the All is thelarger action of this Yoga.

The distinct character of man is that he is a mental being,not a merely vital creature. As he can use his thinking mind andwill to restrain and correct his life impulses, so too he can bringin the action of a still higher luminous mentality aided by thedeeper soul in him, the psychic being. He can master it andoffer it up for transformation to its divine Master. This highermentality and this deeper soul, the psychic element in man, arethe two grappling hooks by which the Divine can lay hold uponhis nature.

Man can bring an enlightened will, an enlightened thoughtand enlightened emotions to the difficult work of his self-development. When he can begin to replace desire altogether bya still greater enlightened thought and sight and will in touch withthe Infinite, he has commenced the ascent towards the superman;he is on his upward march towards the Divine.

There must be a large, many-sided yet single concentrationof the thought on the idea, the perception, the vision, theawakening touch, the soul's realisation of the one Divine. Theremust be a flaming concentration of the heart on the All andEternal. There must be a strong and immovable concentration ofthe will on the attainment and fulfilment of all that the Divine isand a free and plastic opening of it to all that he intends tomanifest in us. This is the triple way of the Yoga.

A concentration which culminates in a living realisation andthe constant sense of the presence of the One in ourselves andin all of which we are aware, is what we mean in Yoga byknowledge and the effort after knowledge. It is not enough todevote ourselves by the reading of scriptures. All that the Lightfrom above asks of us that it may begin its work is a call fromthe soul and a sufficient point of support in the mind. Thissupport can be reached through an insistent idea of the Divinein the thought, a corresponding will in the dynamic parts, anaspiration, a faith, a need in the heart. Any name, any form, anysymbol, any offering has been held to be sufficient if there is theconsecration along with it; for the Divine knows himself in theheart of the seeker and accepts the sacrifice. (Self-Consecration)

41- There are, says the Gita, two types of intelligence in thehuman being. The first is concentrated, poised, one,homogeneous, directed singly towards the Truth; unity is thecharacteristic, concentrated fixity is its very being. In the otherthere is no single will, no unified intelligence, but only an endlessnumber of ideas. (3)

42–44 - By works the Vedantins understood these religiousworks, the sacrificial system, the yajna, full of careful order,vidhi, of exact and complicated rites, kriya-visesa bahulam.But in Yoga works had a much wider significance. The Gitainsists on this wider significance; in our conception of spiritualactivity all works have to be included, sarvakarmani. Not onlyis sacrifice, yajna, the most important part of life, but all life,all works should be regarded as sacrifice, are yajna. But thesacrifice of the Vedavadins are offerings of desire directedtowards material rewards, looking to a larger enjoyment inParadise. This the system of the Gita cannot admit; for that inits very inception starts with the renunciation of desire, with itsrejection and destruction as the enemy of the soul. The Gitadoes not deny the validity even of the Vedic sacrificial works;it admits that by these means one may get enjoyment here andParadise beyond; it is I myself, says the divine Teacher, whoaccept these sacrifices. But this is not the true road, nor is theenjoyment of Paradise the liberation and fulfilment which manhas to seek. It is the ignorant who worship the gods. (4)

free soul. It is because of this wrong intelligence that he hashope and fear, wrath and grief and transient joy; otherwiseworks are possible with perfect serenity and freedom. There-fore it is the Yoga of the Buddhi, the intelligence, that is firstenjoined on Arjuna. To act with right intelligence and therefore,a right will, fixed in the One, aware of the one self in all and,acting out of its equal serenity, not running about in differentdirections under thousand impulses of our superficial mental self,is the Yoga of the intelligent will. Will and knowledge are thetwo functions of the Buddhi. - (9)

59 - It is not an external asceticism [¬ı±ø √√…fl√ ¸iß…±¸], the physicalrenunciation of the objects of sense that I am teaching, suggestsKrishna. I speak of an inner withdrawal, a renunciation of desire.The embodied soul, having a body, has to support it by food forits normal physical action; by abstention from food [øÚ1±˝√√±1¸…] itsimply removes from itself the physical contact with the objectof sense [ø¬ı ∏ ˛± ø¬ıøÚ¬ıÓ«¬ÀôL], but does not get rid of the inner relation.It retains the pleasure of the sense in the object, the rasa, theliking and disliking; the soul must, on the contrary, be capable ofenduring the physical contact without suffering inwardly thissensuous reaction. But how is this desireless contact with ob-jects, this unsensuous use of the senses possible? It is possible,param dristva [¬Û1˜ƒ ‘√©3ܱ], by the vision of the supreme, – param,the Soul. - (16)

61 - Only by an absolute control of the senses can the wiseand calm intelligence be firmly established in its proper seat.This cannot be done perfectly by the act of the intelligenceitself, by a merely mental discipline; it can only be done by Yogawith something which is higher than itself and in which calm andself-mastery are inherent. And this Yoga can only arrive at itssuccess by devoting, by consecrating, by giving up the wholeself to the Divine, "To Me," says Krishna; for the Liberator iswithin us, but it is not our mind, nor our intelligence, nor ourpersonal will – they are only instruments. It is the Lord in whomwe have utterly to take refuge. This is the sense of the phrase"he must sit firm in Yoga, wholly given up to Me" – three wordscontain in seed the whole gist of the highest secret, yukta asitamatparah. - (18)

62, 63– The mind naturally lends itself to the senses, itobserves the objects of sense with an inner interest. By thatattachment comes, by attachment desire, by desire distress, passionand anger when the desire is not satisfied or is thwarted oropposed, and by passion the soul is obscured, the intelligence andwill forget to see and be seated in the calm observing soul; thereis a fall from the memory of one’s true self, and by that theintelligent will is obscured, destroyed even. We become passion,wrath, grief and cease to be self and intelligence and will. Thismust be prevented and senses brought under control. – (A10)

66–69– There are two possibilities of the action of theintelligent will. It may take its downward and outward orientationin the triple play of Prakriti or it may take its upward and inwardorientation towards a settled peace and equality in the calm and

immutable purity of the conscious silent soul. In the former, thatlife is the life of desire. For the senses excited by their objectscreate a restless or often violent disturbance, a strong or evenheadlong outward movement towards the seizure of these objectsand their enjoyment, and they carry away the sense mind, “asthe winds carry away a ship upon sea’; the mind subjected tothe emotions, passions, longings, impulsions awakened by thisoutward movement of the senses carries away similarly theintelligent will, which loses therefore its power of calmdiscrimination and mastery. Subjection of the soul to the confusedplay of the three gunas of Prakriti in their eternal entangledtwining and wrestling, ignorance, a false, sensuous, objective lifeof the soul, enslavement to grief and wrath and attachment andpassion, are the results of the downward trend of the Buddhi,–the troubled life of the ordinary, unenlightened, undisciplined man.The inner subjective self-delight independent of objects is ourtrue aim and the high and wide poise of our peace and liberation.Therefore, it is the upward and inward orientation of the intelligentwill that we must resolutely choose with a settled concentrationand perseverance.

It is a reversal of the whole view, experience, knowledge,values, seeing of earth-bound creatures (common people). Thislife of dualities (life of pleasure and pain) which is to them(common people) is their day, their waking, their bright conditionof activity and knowledge, is to him (to the soul realised person)a night, a troubled sleep and darkness of the soul; that higherbeing (soul) which to them (common people) a night, a sleep, isto the self-mastering sage his waking.–(A11).

(When a person realises his soul, his view, seeing is reversed)

72 - The status he reaches is the Brahmic condition; hegets to firm standing in the Brahman, brahmi sthiti. He hasextinguished his individual ego in the One, lives in that unity and,fixed in that status at his end, can attain to extinction in theBrahman, Nirvana, – not the negative self-annihilation of theBuddhists, but the great immergence of the separate personalself into the vast reality of the one infinite impersonal Existence.- (22)

By going back into the impersonal self the soul gets back intogreater self-knowledge and is liberated from the bondage of theworks of Nature, untouched by her gunas, free from her showsof good and evil, suffering and happiness. The natural being, themind, body, life, still remain, Nature still works; but the inner beingdoes not identify himself with these, nor while the gunas play inthe natural being, does he rejoice or grieve. He is the calm andfree immutable Self observing all.

Is this the last state, the utmost possibility, the highest secret?It cannot be, since this is a mixed or divided, not a perfectlyharmonised status, a double, not a unified being, a freedom in thesoul, an imperfection in the Nature. It can only be a stage. Whatthen is there beyond it? One solution is that of the Sannyasin whorejects the nature, the action altogether, so far at least as actioncan be rejected, so that there may be an unmixed undividedfreedom; but this solution, though admitted, is not preferred by theGita. The Gita also insists on the giving up of actions, sarva-karmani samnyasya, but innardly to the Brahman. Brahman inthe Kshara supports wholly the action of Prakriti, Brahman in the

¸±—‡…√-Œ˚±··œÓ¬±

[60][59]

Page 66: Bhagavad Gita

Akshara, even while supporting, dissociates itself from the action,preserves its freedom; the individual soul, unified with the Brahmanin the Akshara, is free and dissociated, yet, unified with the Brahmanin the Kshara, supports but is not affected. This it can do bestwhen it sees that both are aspects of the one Purushottama. ThePurushottama, inhabiting all existences as the secret Ishwara,controls the Nature and by his will, now no longer distorted anddisfigured by the ego-sense, the Nature works out the actions ofthe swabhava; the individual makes the divinised natural being aninstrument of the divine will. - (23)

Find the Guide secret within you or housed in an earthly body, hearken tohis voice and follow the way that he points. At the end is the Light that failsnot, the Truth that deceives not, the Power that neither strays nor stumbles,the wide freedom, the ineffable Beatitude.– The Hour of God

Object of our YogaThe object of our Yoga is self-perfection, not self-annulment.Buddha and Sankara supposed the world to be radically false and miserable;

therefore escape from the world was to them the only wisdom. But this worldis Brahman, the world is God, the world is Satyam, the world is Ananda.

God created the world in Himself through Maya; but the vedic meaning ofMaya is not illusion, it is wisdom, knowledge, capacity wide extension in consciousness.

The world is a movement of God in His own being; we are the centres andknots of divine consciousness. The world is His play with His own self -consciousdelight. We are self-multiplications of that conscins delight, thrown out intobeing to be His playmates. The world is a formula expressing God to Himselfin His own consciousness. Let us lead forward God's movment, play out His play,

work out His formula, execute His harmony, express Him through our selves inHis system. This is our joy and our self-fulfilment.

Perfection has to be worked out, harmony has to be accomplished. Out ofimperfection we have to constuct perfection, out of limitation to discoverinfinity, out of death to find immortality, out of grief to recover divine bliss,out of ignorance to rescue divine self-knowledge, out of matter to reveal spirit.To work out this end for ourselves and for humanity is the object of our yogicpractice.

–Sri Aurobindo, The Hour of God

Persevere quietly and let nothing discourage you. One cannot have thecrown of spiritual victory without the struggle or reach the heights without theascent and labour. The secret of it is in the heart, not in mind the heart thatopens its inner door and through it the radiance of the soul looks out in a blazeof trust and self-giving. Before that inner fire the debates of the mind and itsdifficulties wither away and the path however long or arduous becomes a sunlitroad not only towards but through love and Ananda. The psychic change is indeedthe indispensable preliminary. The hidden springs of sweetness will revealthemselves if you persevere.

–Sri Aurobindo, Letters on Yoga, Vol.3, April 71

Here is a work wholly inconsistent with knowledge, withserenity and with the motionless peace of the self-delighted soul,– a work terrible, even monstrous, a bloody strife, a ruthlessbattle, a giant massacre. Yet it is this that is enjoined, this thatit is sought to justify by the teaching of inner peace and desirelessequality and status in the Brahman! Here is then an unreconciledcontradiction.

4 - Naiskarmya (actionlessness) a calm voidness fromworks, is no doubt that to which the soul, the Purusha has toattain; for it is Prakriti which does the work and the soul has torise above involution in activities of the being and attain to a freeserenity and poise watching over the operations of Prakriti, butnot affected by them. That, and not cessation of the work ofPrakriti, is what is really meant by the soul's naiskarmya.Therefore it is an error to think that by not engaging in any kindof action this actionless state of the soul can be attained andenjoyed. Mere renunciation of works is not a sufficient, noteven quite a proper means of salvation. - (5)

Reaching the inner actionlessness of the silent Purusha,naiskarmya, and leaving Prakriti to do her works, we can attainsupremely beyond to the status of the divine Mastery which isable to do all works and yet be bound by none. The idea of thePurushottama, seen here as the incarnate Narayana, Krishna, istherefore the key. - (5A)

It is non-attachment, it is to do works without clinging with the mind tothe objects of sense and the fruit of the works. Not completeinaction, which is an error.

9 - "By doing works otherwise than for sacrifice, this worldof men is in bondage to works; for sacrifice practise works, Oson of Kunti, becoming free from all attachment.’’ It is evidentthat all works and not merely sacrifice [ceremonial sacrifice]and social duties can be done in this spirit; any action can bedone either from ego-sense narrow or enlarged or for the sakeof the Divine. All being and all action of Prakriti exist only forthe sake of the Divine; from that it proceeds, by that it endures,to that it is directed. But so long as we are dominated by theego-sense, we act for the satisfaction of the ego, otherwise thanfor sacrifice. Egoism is the knot of the bondage. By actingGodwards, without any thought of ego, we loosen this knot andfinally arrive at freedom. - (10)

All active existence must be in its inmost reality a sacrificeof works offered by Prakriti to Purusha, Nature offering to thesupreme and infinite Soul the desire of the multiple finite Soulwithin her. Where sacrifice is not willingly given, Nature exactsit by force, she satisfies the law of her living. A mutual givingand receiving is the law of life without which it cannot for onemoment edure, and this fact is the stamp of the divine creativeWill on the world it has manifested in its being, the proof thatwith sacrifice as their eternal companion, the Lord of creatureshas created all these existences. The universal law of sacrificeis the sign that the world is of God and belongs to God and thatlife is his house of worship and not a field for the self-satisfactionof the independent ego. - (11 A)

14, 15 - "From food creatures come into being, from rainis the birth of food, from sacrifice come into being the rain,sacrifice is born of work; work to be born of Brahman, Brahmanis born of the Immutable; therefore is the all – pervading Brahmanestablished in the sacrifice."

Sacrifice is born of work [˚:– fl¡˜«- ¸˜≈æ√¬ı–], work frombrahman, brahman from Akshara and therefore the all-pervadingBrahman, sarvagatam brahman, is established in the sacrifice.Brahman or Divine in the workings of Nature is born, as wemay say, out of the Akshara, the immutable Purusha, the Selfwho stands above all the modes or qualities or workings ofNature, nistraigunya. The Brahman is one but self-displayed intwo aspects, the immutable being and the creator and originatorof works in the mutable becoming, atman, sarvabhutani, Purushapoised in himself and Purusha active in Prakriti; it is aksara andksara. In both of these aspects the Divine being, Purushottama,manifests himself in the universe; the immutable above all qualitiesis His poise of peace, self-possession, equality, saman Brahma;from that proceeds His manifestation in qualities of Prakriti andtheir universal workings; from the Purusha in Prakriti, from thisBrahman with qualities, proceed all the works of the universalenergy, Karma, in man and in all existences; from that workproceeds the principle of sacrifice. Even material interchange

between gods and men proceeds upon this principle (3/11), astypified in the dependence of rain and its product food and birthof creatures. For all the workings of Prakriti in its true naturea sacrifice, yajna, with the Divine being as the enjoyer. - (12)

16 - "He who follows not here the wheel thus set in movement,evil is his being, sensual is his delight, in vain, O Partha, that manlives."

This (ceremonial sacrifice for gaining children, wealth,enjoyment) cannot be the meaning of the Gita, for it would be incontradiction with all the rest of the book. Ref. Ch.4

There are three kinds of works, that done without sacrificefor personal enjoyment which is entirely selfish and egoistic andmisses the true law and aim and utility of life, mogham parthasa jivati, that done with desire, but with sacrifice and theenjoyment only as a result of sacrifice and therefore to thatextent consecrated and sanctified and that done without desireor attachment of any kind. It is the last which brings the soulto the highest, param apnoti purusah. - (13)

18 - "He (the liberated man) has no object here to begained by action done and none to be gained by action undone;he has no dependence on all these existence for any object tobe gained." In that Self and not in any personal enjoyment hefinds now his sole satisfaction, complete content, pure delight;he has nothing to gain by action or inaction, depends neither ongods nor men for anything, seeks no-profit from any, for theself-delight is all sufficient to him, but does works for the sakeof the Divine only, as a pure sacrifice, without attachment ordesire. Thus he gains equality and becomes free from the modesof Nature, nistraigunya; his soul takes its poise in the peace ofthe immutable Brahman, even while his actions continue in themovement of Prakriti. Thus is sacrifice his way of attaining tothe Highest. - (15)

33 - The Gita says, "All existences follow their nature andwhat shall coercing it avail? which seems, if we take it by itself,a hopelessly absolute assertion of the omnipotence of Natureover the Soul; "even the man of knowledge acts according to hisown nature."

Certainly it does not mean that we are to follow any impulse,even though evil, which what we call our nature dictates to us.It is a higher truth that the distinction of good and evil is indeeda practical fact and law valid for the egoistic human life. It willbe mis-seen and misused, as those misuse it who declare thata man is what his nature has made him and cannot be otherwisethan as his nature compels him. It is true in a sense but not inthe sense that the ego-self can claim irresponsibility and impunityfor itself in its works,… it must bear the reactions of Karma.–(28)

Self-surrender in worksThe greatest gospel of spiritual works ever yet given to the

race, the most perfect system of Karmayoga known to man in thepast, is to be found in the Bhagavad Gita. In that famous episodeof the Mahabharata the great basic lines of Karmayoga are laiddown for all time with an incomparable mastery and the infallibleeye of an assured experience. It is true that the path alone, as theancients saw it, is worked out fully; the perfect fulfilment, thehighest secret is hinted rather than developed; it is kept back asan unexpressed part of a supreme maystery. The Gita at itscryptic close may seem by its silence to stop short of that solutionfor which we are seeking; it pauses at the borders of the highestspiritual mind and does not cross them into the splendours of thesupramental light. And yet its secret of dynamic, and not onlystatic, identity with the inner Presence, its highest mystery ofabsolute surrender to the Divine Guide, Lord and Inhabitant of ournature, is the central secret. This surrender is the indispensablemeans of the supramental change and again, it is through thesupramental change that the dynamic identity becomes possible.

What then are the lines of Karmayoga laid down by theGita? Its key principle, its spiritual method, can be summed up asthe union of two largest and highest states or powers ofconsciousness, equality and oneness. The kernel of its method is

fl¡ «√-Œ˚±··œÓ¬±

[84][83]

Page 78: Bhagavad Gita

an unreserved acceptance of the Divine in our life as in our selfand spirit. An inner renunciation of personal desire leads to equality,accomplishes our total surrender to the Divine, supports a deliveryfrom dividing ego which brings us oneness. But this must be aoneness in dynamic force and not only in static peace or inactivebeatitude. The Gita promises us freedom for the spirit even in themidst of works and the full energies of Nature. It proposes anintegral dynamic activity founded on a still passivity.

All things here are the one and indivisible eternal transcendentand cosmic Brahman that is in its seeming divided in things andcreatures; in seeming only, for in truth it is always one and equalin all things and creatures and the division is only a phenomenonof the surface. As long as we live in the ignorant seeming, we arethe ego and are subject to the modes of Nature. Enslaved toappearances, bound to dualities, tossed between good and evil, sinand virtue, grief and joy, pain and pleasure, good fortune and illfortune, success and failure, we follow helplessly the iron or giltand iron round of the wheel of Maya. It is force of Nature,grasping us, ungrasped by us that determines what we shall willand how we shall will it. Nature, not an independent ego, chooseswhat object we shall seek at any moment of our existence. If, onthe contrary, we live in the unifying reality of the Brahman, thenwe go beyond the ego and overstep Nature. For then we get backto our true self and become the spirit; in the spirit we are abovethe impulsion of Nature, superior to her modes and forces. Attainingto a perfect equality in the soul, mind and heart, we realise ourtrue self of oneness – one with all beings. This equality and thisoneness are the indispensable twin foundation. There is a secretdivine Will, eternal and infinite, omniscient and omnipotent, thatexpresses itself in the universality and in each particular of allthese apparently temporal and finite, inconscient or half-conscientthings. This is the Power or Presence meant by the Gita when it

speaks of the Lord within the heart of all existences who turnsall creatures as if mounted on a machine by the illusion of Nature.

These are the conditions of our effort. To live in God andnot in the ego.

To be perfectly equal in all happenings and to all beings,and to see and feel them as one with oneself and one with theDivine; to feel all in oneself and all in God; to feel God in all andoneself in all.

To act in God and not in the ego. And here, not to chooseaction by reference to personal needs, but in obedience to thedictates of the living highest truth above us. Next, as soon as weare sufficiently founded in the spiritual consciousness, not to actany longer by our separate will or movement, but more and moreto allow action to happen and develop under the impulsion andguidance of a divine Will.

The elimination of all egoistic activity is clearly the key.And since in the path of works action is the knot we have firstto loosen, we must endeavour to loosen it where it is centrallytied, in desire and ego. Therefore the first rule of action laiddown by the Gita is to do the work that should be done withoutany desire for the fruit, niskama karma.

The test it lays down is an absolute equality of the mind andthe heart to all results, to all reactions, to all happenings. At firstwe have to learn to bear the shocks of the world with thecentral part of our being untouched and silent.

But how then shall we continue to act at all? For ordinarilythe human being acts because he has a desire. The Gita replieswith its third great secret of the divine life. All action must bedone in a more and more God-ward and finally a God-possessedconsciousness; our works must be a sacrifice to the Divine andin the end a surrender of all our being, mind, will, heart, sense,life and body to the One must make God-love and God-service

fl¡ «√-Œ˚±··œÓ¬±

[86][85]

Page 79: Bhagavad Gita

our only motive. This transformation of the motive-force andvery character of works is indeed its master idea; it is thefoundation of its unique synthesis of works, love and knowledge.In the end not desire, but the consciously felt will of the Eternalremains as the sole driver of our action.

The SacrificeThe law of Sacrifice (offering) is the common divine action

that was thrown out into the world in its beginning as a symbolof the solidarity of the universe. It is by the attraction of this lawthat a divinising, a saving power descends to limit and correct andgradually to eliminate the errors of an egoistic and self-dividedcreation. This descent, this sacrifice of the Purusha, the DivineSoul submitting itself to Force and Matter so that it may informand illuminate them, is the seed of redemption of this world ofInconscience and Ignorance. For "with sacrifice as theircompanion", says the Gita, "the All Father created these peoples",(3/10). The acceptance of the law of sacrifice is a practicalrecognition by the ego that it is neither alone in the world nor chiefin the world. There is beyond itself something greater and completer,a diviner All which demands from it subordination and serviceIndeed sacrifice is imposed and, where need be, compelled by theuniversal World-Force; it takes it even from those who donotconsciously recognise the law. For this is the truth in Nature, thatthis ego which thinks itself a separate independent being is notand cannot be independent nor separate, but all are linked togetherby a secret Oneness. Each existence is continually giving outperforce from its stock, and always again it receives somethingfrom its environment in return. For it is only by this giving andreceiving that it can effect its own growth. At length, though atfirst slowly and partially, we learn to make the conscious sacrifice;even, in the end, we take joy to give ourselves in a spirit of love

and devotion to That which appears for the moment other thanourselves. The sacrifice and the divine return for our sacrificethen become a gladly accepted means towards our last perfection.

This profounder idea of the world-wide law is at the heart ofthe teaching about works given in the Gita; a spiritual union withthe Highest by sacrifice, an unreserved self-giving to the Eternalis the core of its doctrine.

Our sacrifice is not a giving without any return, it is aninterchange between the embodied soul and conscious Nature inus and the eternal spirit. For even though no return is demanded,yet there is the knowledge deep within us that a marvellousreturn is inevitable. The soul knows that it does not give itselfto God in vain; claiming nothing, it yet receives the infinite richesof the divine Power and Presence. For to the soul that whollygives itself to him, God also gives himself altogether. Only theone who offers his whole nature, finds the Self. Only the onewho can give everything, enjoys the Divine All everywhere.Only a supreme self-abandonment attains to the Supreme.

We should turn our whole life into a conscious sacrifice.Every moment and every movement of our being is to be resolvedinto a continuous and a devoted self-giving to the Eternal. Allour actions, not less the smallest and most ordinary and triflingthan the greatest and most uncommon and noble, must beperformed as consecrated acts. Our commonest or most grosslymaterial actions must assume this sublimated character; Whenwe eat, we should be conscious that we are giving our food tothat Presence in us; it must be a sacred offering in a temple.Evenif such a discipline is begun without devotion, it leads straightand inevitably towards the highest devotion possible.

An absorbing love for the Divine Presence to whom hefeels an always more intimate closeness, grows upon theconsecrated worker. The way of works turns by this road ofsacrifice to meet the path of Devotion.

Next, the practice of this Yoga demands a constant inwardremembrance of the one central liberating knowledge, and aconstant active externalising of it in works comes in too tointensify the remembrance. In all is the one Self, the one Divineis all; all are in the Divine, all are the Divine and there is nothingelse in the universe, – this thought or this faith is the wholebackground until it becomes the whole substance of theconsciousness of the worker.

¶¶¶¶As for prayers, especially unselfish prayer for others, itself opens you

to the higher Power, even if there is no corresponding result in the personprayed for- Sri Aurobindo, Aurobindo, Circle, 83

To do at each moment the best we can and leave the result to theDivine's decision, is the surest way to peace, happiness, strength, progressand final perfection.– The Mother Self-Perfection 4

If you give youself entirely to the Divine without asking for anythingin exchange, if you merge your consciusness in the Divine, it will put an endto your sufferings.– The Mother, W.R.

If earnestly you say to the Divine, ‘‘I want only Thee,’’ the Divine willarrange the circumstances in such a way that you are compelled to be sincere.

Never worry. Do with sincerity all you do and leave the results to theDivine’s care.

the Dharma is not an all-sufficient object in itself, not the supremepossible aim for the manifestation of a Christ, a Krishna, aBuddha. For there are two aspects of the divine birth; one is adescent, the birth of God in humanity; the Godhead manifestingitself in human form and nature, the eternal Avatar; the other isan ascent, the birth of man into the Godhead, man rising into thedivine nature and consciousness, madbhavam agatah; it is thebeing born anew in a second birth of the soul. It is that new birthwhich Avatarhood and the upholding of the Dharma are in-tended to serve.

Sri AurobindoPossibility and purpose of Avatarhood, Essays on the Gita

Love is a supreme force which the Eternal Consciousnesssent down from itself into an obscure and darkened world thatit might bring back that world and its beings to the Divine. Thematerial world in its darkness and ignorance had forgotten theDivine. Love came into the darkness; it awakened all that laythere asleep; it whispered, opening the ears that were sealed,"There is something that is worth waking to, worth living for, andit is love!" And with the awakening to love there entered into theworld the possibility of coming back to the Divine. The creationmoves upward through love towards the Divine and in answerthere leans downward to meet the creation the Divine Love andGrace. This world was a world of dead matter, till Divine lovedescended into it and awakened it to life. Once the creation isconscious, awakened, opened to love for the Divine, the Divinelove pours itself without limit back into the creation.

Great beings have taken birth in this world who came tobring down here something of the sovereign purity and power of

Divine love. The Divine love has thrown itself into a personalform in them that its realisation upon earth may be at once moreeasy and more perfect. Divine love, when manifested in a personalbeing (Avatar), is easier to realise, it is more difficult when it isunmanifested or impersonal in its movement. A human beingawakened by this personal touch, with this personal intensity, tothe consciousness of the Divine love, will find his work andchange more easy; the union for which he seeks becomes morenatural and close. And the union, the realisation will become forhim, too more full, more perfect.

"Works affect Me not, nor have I desire forthe fruits of works"; for God is the impersonal beyond thisegoistic personality and as the Purushottama also, the impersonalPersonality, he possesses this supreme freedom even in works."He who thus knows Me is not bound by his works." - (12)

18 - What is that type of works by which we shall bereleased from the ills of life, from this doubt, this error, this grief,from these million forms of evil and suffering? No outwarddistinctions need be made, is the reply; no work the world needs,be shunned; no limit or hedge set round our human activities; onthe contrary, all actions should be done, but from a soul in Yogawith the Divine, yuktah kritsna-karma-krit. Akarma, cessationfrom action is not the way. The mind that takes refuge in physicalinactivity, is still under the delusion that it and not Nature is thedoer of works; it has mistaken inertia for liberation; it does notsee that even in what seems absolute inertia greater than thatof the stone or clod, Nature is at work, keeps unimpaired herhold. On the contrary, in the full flood of action the soul is freefrom its works, is not the doer, not bound by what is done, andhe who lives in the freedom of the soul, not in the bondage ofthe modes of Nature, alone has release from works. This iswhat the Gita clearly means when it says that he who in actioncan see inaction and can see action still continuing in cessationfrom works, is the man of true reason and discernment amongmen (¸– ¬ı≈øX˜±Ú ˜Ú≈À¯∏…¯∏≈]. The liberated man is not afraid of action,he is a large and universal doer of all works, kritsna-karma-krit; not as others do them in subjection to Nature, but poisedin the silent calm of the soul, tranquilly in Yoga with the Divine.The Divine is the lord of his works, he is only their channel. -(15)

19 - By the flaming intensity and purity of this knowledgeall his works are burned up as in a fire and his mind remainswithout any stain, calm, silent, unperturbed, white, clean andpure. To do all without personal egoism is the first sign of thedivine worker. - (16)

20 - The second sign is freedom from desire; for wherethere is not the personal egoism of the doer, desire becomesimpossible; it is starved out, sinks for want of a support, dies ofinanition. He has abandoned all attachment to the fruits of hisworks, and where one does not work for the fruit, but solely asan impersonal instrument of the Master of works, desire canfind no place, – not even the desire to serve successfully, for thefruit is Lord's and determined by him and not by the personalwill and effort or to serve with credit and to the Master'ssatisfaction, for the real doer is the Lord himself. The humanmind and soul of the liberated man does nothing, na kincitkaroti, it is the Nature, the executive Shakti who does thework.- (17)

21 - The liberated man has no personal hopes; he does notseize on things as his personal possessions; he receives what thedivine Will, brings him, covets nothing, is jealous of none: whatcomes to him he takes without repulsion and without attachment;what goes from him he allows to depart into the whirl of thingswithout repining or grief or sense of loss. His heart and self areunder perfect control; they are free from reaction and passion,they make no turbulent response to the touches of outwardthings. His action is indeed a purely physical action, sariramkevalam karma; for all else comes from above, is not generatedin the human plane, is only a reflection of the will, knowledge,joy of the divine Purushottama. Therefore he does not bringabout in his mind and heart any of those reactions which we callpassion and sin [øfl¡øå¬ı¯∏˜ƒ Ú ’±Àõü±øÓ¬]. This spiritual impersonalityis a third sign of the divine worker. - (18)

23 - The Divine motives, inspires, determines the entireaction; the human soul impersonal in the Brahman is the pureand silent channel of his power; that power in the Nature executesthe divine movement. Such only are the works of the liberatedsoul, muktasya karma, for in nothing does he act from a personalinception; such are the actions of the accomplished Karmayogin.They rise from a free spirit and disappear without modifying it,like waves that rise and disappear on the surface of consciousimmutable depths, gata sangasya muktasya jnanavasthita-cetasah, yajnayacaratah karma samagram praviliyate. - (20)

The liberated man is able to do works as a sacrifice becausehe is freed from attachment through mind, heart and spirit beingfirmly founded in self-knowledge, gata-sangasya jnana-vasthita-cetasah. All his work disappears completely as soon as done,suffers laya, as one might say, in the being of the Brahman,praviliyate; it has no reactionary consequence on the soul ofthe apparent doer. The work is done by the Lord through hisNature, it is no longer personal to the human instrument. Thework itself becomes but power of the Nature and substance ofthe being of the Brahman. - (21)

24 - "Brahman is the giving, Brahman is the food offering,by Brahman it is offered into the Brahman-fire, Brahman is thatwhich is to be attained by samadhi in Brahman-action."

This then is the knowledge in which the liberated man hasto do works of sacrifice. "I am He", "All this verily is theBrahman, Brahman is this self." It is the knowledge of entireunity; it is the One manifest as the doer and the deed and theobject of works, knower and knowledge and the object ofknowledge. The universal energy into which the action is pouredis the Divine; the consecrated energy of the giving is the Divine;whatever is offered is only some form of the Divine; the giverof the offering is the Divine himself in man; the action, the work,the sacrifice is itself Divine in movement, in activity; the goal tobe reached by sacrifice is the Divine. For the man who has thisknowledge and lives and acts in it, there can be no bindingworks, no personal and egoistically appropriated action; there isonly the divine Purusha acting by the divine Prakriti in His ownbeing, offering everything into the fire of His self-consciouscosmic energy, while the knowledge and the possession of Hisdivine existence and consciousness by the soul unified with Himis the goal of all this God-directed movement and activity. Toknow that and to live and act in this unifying consciousness isto be free.

The fire of sacrifice, agni, is no material flame, butbrahmagni, the fire of the Brahman, or it is the Brahman-wardenergy, inner Agni, priest of the sacrifice, into which the offeringis poured. - (22)

29 - Here are given two methods of Pranayama for keepinggood health. The first method is long deep breathing. The secondmethod is (1) inhale (2) Stop the breath (3) exhale.

The Mother explains the methods (A.I.M. Dec. 79). Themajority of people donot know how to breathe properly. Veryoften the air in the uppermost part of your lungs is not thrownout when you breathe. You breathe only from the middle portionof the lungs and the dirty old air in the upper parts does not getchanged. A good many troubles are due to this fact.

One of the methods that I have tried is – inhale fresh airto the full capacity of your lungs and count 1, 2, 3, 4. Then stopthe breath while you count 1, 2, 3, 4 and throw out as much airas possible again with 1, 2, 3, 4. In this process you may breathein with one nostril and breathe out with the other. (Inhale by theright nostril, exhale by the left and next inhale by the left andexhale by the right. The meaning of Pranayama is to draw lifeenergy. While doing the breathing exercise, one should make a

will – "Let life energy, pran shakti come into my body.") If youcan push the air [energy] towards a discased part of your bodyand concentrate there then you will see that the discase will goaway.

Will power method(Sri Aurobindo has given another method for drawing Pran

Shakti, Life Energy into the body in the Synthesis of Yoga, Ch.The power of the instruments.)

The control of the body and life by the mind and its thoughtand will is the first step. But afterwards the mind must itselfgive place to the spirit, to the spiritual force, the supermind andthe supramental force.

The play of the pranic shakti in the body is the condition ofall action. To get this pranic shakti to act more freely and forciblyin the body is knowingly or unknowingly the attempt of all whostrive for a greater perfection of or in the body. The ordinary mantries to command it mechanically by physical exercises; but forour purpose it can be commanded by more subtle, essential andpliable means; first by a will in the mind widely opening itself toand potently calling in the universal pranic shakti on which wedraw and fixing its stronger presence and more powerful workingin the body; secondly, by the will in the mind opening itself ratherto the spirit and its power and calling in a higher pranic energyfrom above, a supramental pranic force; thirdly, the last step, bythe highest supramental will of the spirit entering and taking updirectly the task of the perfection of the body.

Most men are not conscious of this pranic force in thebody. But as the consciousness becomes more subtle by practiceof Yoga, we can come to be aware of the sea of pranic shaktiaround us, feel it with the mental consciousness, concretely witha mental sense, see its courses and movements, and direct andact upon it by the will. But until we thus become aware of it,

:±Ú-Œ˚±··œÓ¬±

[106][105]

Page 89: Bhagavad Gita

we have to possess a working faith in its presence and in thepower of the will to develop a greater command and use of thisprana force. There is necessary a faith, sraddha, in the powerof the mind to lay its will on the state and action of the body.(’±ø˜õ∂±Ì˙øMê√1 ¸±·1Ó¬ Î≈¬¬ıÕ· ’±À“√±º õ∂±Ì˙øMê√ ’±˜±1 Œ√ √√1 ˜±ÀÊ√ø√ ¸fl¡À˘± ¸˜ ˛ÀÓ¬‰¬˘±‰¬˘ fl¡ø1 Ôfl¡±1 ¬ı±À¬ı ◊√√ ’±ø˜ Ê√œ˚± ◊√√ ’±À“√± ’±1n∏ fl¡ «é¬˜ ∆ √√ ’±À“√±º õ∂±Ì˙øMê√1‰¬˘±‰¬˘ ˚ÀÔ©Ü Ú˝√√À˘ Œ√˝√√Ó¬ Œ1±·1 ’±Sê˜Ì ˝√√˚˛º õ∂±Ì±˚˛±˜1 ¡Z±1± ’±ø˜ Œ√˝√√Ó¬õ∂±Ì˙øMê1√ õ∂±¬ı˘… ¬ıϬˇ±›“ ˝◊√√26√±˙øMê√1 ¡Z±1±› ’±ø˜ Œ√˝√√Õ˘ õ∂±Ì˙øMê√ ˜±øÓ¬ ’±øÚ¬ı¬Û±À1“±, õ∂±Ì˙øMê√ ’± √√fl¡ ¬ı≈ø˘ ˆ¬±ø¬ıÀ˘ ◊√√ Œ√ √√Õ˘ ’±ø √√¬ı øfl¡c õ∂±Ì˙øMê√ ’±ø √√¬ı ¬ı≈ø˘‘√Ϭˇ ø¬ıù´±¸ ˘±ø·¬ı, ŒÓ¬øÓ¬˚˛±À˝√√ ’±ø˝√√¬ıº ¤Àfl¡¸˜˚˛ÀÓ¬ √œ‚˘ ά◊˙±˝√√ øÚ˙±˝√√ ˘À˘Ù¬˘ Œ¬ıøÂ√ ˆ¬±˘ ˝√√í¬ıº)

30-The one thing needful is to subordinate the loweractivities, to diminish the control of desire and replace it by asuperior energy, to abandon the purely egoistic enjoyment forthat diviner delight which comes by sacrifice, by self-dedication,by self-mastery, by the giving up of one's lower impulses to agreater and higher aim. "They who enjoy the nectar of immortalityleft over from the sacrifice attain to the eternal Brahman." -(27)

Theyare "all born of work"; all proceed from and are ordained by theone vast energy of the divine which manifests itself in the universalKarma and makes all the cosmic activity a progressive offeringto the one Self and Lord and of which the last stage for humanbeing is self-knowledge and possession of the divine or Brahmicconsciousness."So knowing thou shalt become free." - (29)

33-Yoga and knowledge are the two wings of the soul'sascent. By Yoga is meant union through divine works done withoutdesire, with equality of soul to all things and all men, as a sacrificeto the Supreme while knowledge is that on which thisdesirelessness, this equality, this power of sacrifice is founded.The two wings indeed assist each other's flight; acting together,yet with a subtle alternation of mutual aid, like the two eyes in aman which see together because they see alternately, they increaseone another mutually by interchange of substance.

It is only the supremeknowledge that this can altogether be said. To get this otherknowledge, self-existent, intuitive, self-experiencing, self-revealing,we must have conquered and controlled our mind and senses,samyatendriyah, so that we are no longer subject to theirdelusions. - (34)

39 - Finally, we must have a faith which no intellectualdoubt can be allowed to disturb, sraddhavan labhate jnanam.- (35)

The Mother speaks on faith – In reality, the Divinegives to each individual exactly what he expects of Him. If youbelieve that the Divine is far and cruel, He will be far and cruel,because it will be necessary for your ultimate good that you feelthe wrath of God; He will be Kali for the worshippers of Kali,and Beatitude for the Bhakta. And he will be the All-knowledgeof the seekers of knowledge, the transcendent Impersonal of theillusionists; He will be atheist with the atheist and the love of the

lover. He will be brotherly and close, a friend always faithful,always ready to succour for those who feel Him as the innerguide in each movement, at every moment [÷ù´1fl¡ &1n∏ ¬ı≈ø˘ ˆ¬±ø¬ıÀ˘&1n∏ 1+¬ÛÓ¬ ¬Û±¬ı ¬Û±ø1], And if you believe that he can wipe awayeverything, he will wipe away your faults, all your errors tire-lessly, and at every moment you can feel His infinite Grace. TheDivine is indeed what you expect of Him in your deepestaspiration. The attitude is thus very important, even the outerattitude. People donot know how important is faith, how faith ismiracle, creator of miracles. If you expect every moment to belifted up and pulled towards the Divine, He will come to lift youand He will be there, quite close, closer, ever closer. (AIM, Feb,78)

41 - "He who has destroyed all doubt by knowledge andhas by Yoga given up all works and is in possession of the Selfis not bound by works, yogasamnyastakarmanam atmavantamna karmani nibadhnanti." - (37)

The Mother speaks on Karma

In the plane of matter and on the level of the ordinaryconsciousness you are bound hand and foot. A slave to themechanism of Nature, you are tied to the chain of Karma, andthere, in that chain, whatever happens is rigorously theconsequence of what has been done before. There is an illusionof independent movement, but in fact you repeat what all othersdo, you echo Nature's world – movements, you revolve helplesslyon the crushing wheel of her cosmic machine.

But it need not be so. You can shift your place if you will;instead of being below, crushed in the machinery or moved likea puppet, you can rise and look from above and by changingyour consciousness you can even get hold of some handle tomove apparently inevitable circumstances and change fixedconditions. [’Ô«±» ˜±Ú≈À˝√√ ˝◊√√26√± fl¡ø1À˘ destiny ¸˘øÚ fl¡ø1¬ı ¬Û±À1º] Onceyou draw yourself up out of the whirlpool [ˆ¬±·…1 ‰¬±fl¡ÕÚ˚˛±] andstand high above, you see you are free. Free from all compulsions,not only you are no longer a passive instrument, but you becomean active agent. You are not only bound by the consequences ofyour action, but you can even change the consequences. Onceyou see the play of forces, once you raise yourself to a planeof consciousness where lie the origins of forces and identifyyourself with these dynamic sources, you belong no longer towhat is moved but to that which moves.

This precisely is the aim of Yoga, – to get out of the cycleof Karma into a divine movement. By Yoga you leave the

mechanical round of Nature in which you are an ignorant slave,a helpless and miserable tool, and rise into another plane whereyou become a conscious participant and a dynamic agent inworking out a higher Destiny.

42 - The doubts, the perplexities arise from that ignorance,from the sense-bewildered, opinion-perplexed heart and mind,ajnana-sambhutam hritstham samsayam. They have to be cutaway by the sword of knowledge, says the Gita, by the knowledgethat realises, by restoring constantly to Yoga. - (38)

Pure Jnanayoga comes by the intellect, although it ends inthe transcendence of the intellect and its workings. In realitythought is only a scout and pioneer; it can guide but not commandor effectuate. The leader of the journey, the captain of themarch, the first and most ancient priest of our sacrifice is theWill. This Will is not the wish of the heart or the demand orpreference of the mind to which we often give the name. It isthat inmost, dominant and often veiled conscious force of ourbeing and of all being, Tapas, Shakti, Shraddha, that sovereignlydetermines our orientation and of which the intellect and theheart are more or less blind and automatic servants and instru-ments. The Self that is quiescent, at rest, vacant of things and

Page 93: Bhagavad Gita

happenings is a support and background to existence, a silentchannel of something Supreme : it is not itself the Supreme. TheEternal, the Supreme is the Lord and the all-originating Spirit.Superior to all activities and not bound by any of them, it is thesource, sanction, material, efficient power, master of all activities.All activities proceed from this supreme Self and are determinedby it. In these activities is expressed the conscious Will of Shaktiof the Spirit moved to manifest its being in infinite ways, a Willor Power not ignorant but at one with its own self-knowledge.And of this power a secret spiritual will and soul-faith in us, thedominant hidden force of our nature, is the individual instrument,more nearly in communication with the Supreme, a surer guideand enlightener. To know that will in ourselves and in the universeand to follow it to its divine finalities must surely be the highestway and truest culmination for knowledge as for works, for theseeker in life and for the seeker in Yoga. The object of spiritualknowledge is the Supreme, the Divine, the Infinite and theAbsolute. – Sri Aurobindo, The Synthesis of Yoga, The object ofknowledge.

The Yogin ceases to be the ego, the little personlimited by the mind and the body; he becomes the Brahman. -(22)

That is to say, to haveknowledge and possession of the self is to exist in Nirvana.

Nirvana is clearly compatible with world - consciousnessand with action in the world. (24)

27, 28 - "Having put outside of himself all outward touchesand concentrated the vision between the eye-brows and madeequal the prana and the apana moving within the nostrils, havingcontrolled the senses, the mind and the understanding, the sagedevoted to liberation, from whom desire and wrath and fearhave passed away is ever free." Here we have a process ofRajayoga. There is the conquest of all the movements of themind, cittavrittinirodha; there is the control of the breathing,Pranayama; there is the drawing in of the sense and the vision.

All of them are processes which lead to the inner trance ofSamadhi, the object of all of them is moksa and moksa signifiesin ordinary parlance the renunciation not only of the separativeego-consciousness, but of the whole active consciousness, adissolution of our being into the highest Brahman. Are we tosuppose that the Gita gives this process in that sense or only asa special means? We shall find reason to regard it as an aid andat least one gate of a final departure, not by dissolution, but byan uplifting to the supracosmic existence. This is not the lastword; the last word, the finale, the climax comes in a verse thatfollows. - (25)

We get back to the great idea of the Gita, the idea of thePurushottama, – it is always that which Krishna means by his"I" and "Me", the Divine who is there as one self in our timelessimmutable being, who is present too in the world, in all existences,in all activities, the master of the silence and the peace, themaster of the power and the action, who is here incarnate as thedivine charioteer of the stupendous conflict, the Transcendent,

the Self, the All, the master of every individual being.

Karmasannyasa YogaQuotations from Sri Aurobindo's Essays on the Gita :

1. Sankhya, Yoga and Vedanta : 1-52. The Divine worker : 7-14, 16, 5A3. Equality and Knowledge : 6, 15, 17, 18, 8 A, 194. Equality : 20A, 21A5. Nirvana and works in the world : 20-26

¶¶¶¶The call upon us is to grow into the image of God, to dwell in him and

with him and be a channel of his joy and might and an instrument of hisworks. Purified from all that is asubha (9/1, Œ˜±é¬…À¸ ’qˆ¬±»), transfigured insoul by his touch, we have to act in the world as dynamos of that divineelectricity and send it thrilling and radiating through mankind, so that whereverone of us stands, hundreds around may become full of his light and force,full of God and full of Ananda.– Sri Aurobiondo, The Yoga & its objects

Open your heart to the Grace so that it may accomplish Its miraclesin you.

At each moment the Divine does what is the best for you.The Divine’s love is always with you and that is the only thing that

never fails in life.Remember your soul and its aspiration : the Sun will rise, that is certain.In the Integral Yoga, there is no distinction between the Sadhana and the

outward life; it is in each and every moment of the daily life that the Truthmust be found and practised.

Behind the sorrow and loneliness behind the emptiness and the feelingof incapacity, there is the golden light of the Divine Presence shining soft andwarm.– White Roses

A choice you have to make every minute, every minute you are put infront of a choice : the choice to go up or go down, to go forward or to gobackward. – The Mother, Sri Aurobindo Society Annual 65

None can reach heaven who has not passed through the hell. – Savitri

Limit not sacrifice to giving up of earthly goods or the denial of somedesires and yearnings, but let every thought and every work and everyenjoyment be an offering to God within thee.

Fear and anxiety are perverse forms of will. What thou fearest andponderest over, ... thou helpest to bring about.

Sometimes God draws and attaches us most swiftly to Him by wrestlingwith us as our fierce, invincible and irreconcilable enemy.

Each man of us has a million lives yet to fulfil upon earth. Why thenthis haste and clamour and impatience ? Sri Aurobindo, Thoughts andAphorisms.

10–14 (A process of Rajayogic meditation) In this processthe Yogin is directed to practice continually union with the Selfso that that may become his normal consciousness. He is to sitapart and alone, with all desire and idea of possession banishedfrom his mind, self-controlled in his whole being and consciousness.“He should set in a pure spot his firm seat, neither too high, noryet too low, covered with a cloth, and there seated with aconcentrated mind and with the workings of the mentalconsciousness and the senses under control he should practiseYoga for self-purification, atma-visuddhaye”, The posture hetakes must be the motionless erect posture proper to the practiceof Rajayoga; the vision should be drawn in and fixed betweenthe eye-brows. The mind is to be kept calm and free from fearand the vow of Brahmacharya observed; the whole controlledmentality must be devoted and turned to the Divine so that thelower action of the consciousness shall be merged in the higherpeace. - (9)

Sri Aurobindo writes–The sitting motionless posture isthe natural process for concentrated meditation–walking andstanding are active conditions. Once the habit of meditation is

formed, it should be made possible to do it in all circumstances,lying, sitting, walking, alone, in company, in silence or in themidst of noise. The idea on which the mind should fix is that ofGod in all, all in God and, all as God. This is the idea I havefound the best¬– “All this is the Brahman”. You can concentratein the head in a will, a call for the descent of peace above. Inthe heart centre one concentrates in an aspiration, for an opening,for the presence of the living image of the Divine there orwhatever else is the object.

who indulge too much in these things of the life and the body;but the sleep and waking, the food, the play, the putting forth ofeffort in works should all be Yukta (in yogo with the divine). Allshould be moderate, regulated. –(10A)

18-23 - Peace of Nirvana is reached when all the mentalconsciousness is perfectly controlled and liberated from desireand remains still in the Self, when, motionless like the light of alamp in a windless place, it ceases from its restless action, andby the silence and stillness of the mind the Self is seen within,not disfigured as in mind, but in the Self [’±RøÚ], seen, self-perceived by the Self [’±RÚ± ¤¬ı], svaprakasa. Then the soul issatisfied and knows its own true and exceeding bliss and can nolonger fall away from the spiritual truth of its being. Not eventhe fiercest assault of mental grief can disturb it. It is the puttingaway of the contact with pain, duhkha samyoga viyogam. Thefirm winning of this inalienable spiritual bliss is Yoga, it is thedivine union; it is the greatest of all gains and the treasure besidewhich all others lose their value. Therefore is this Yoga to beresolutely practised without yielding to any discouragement bydifficulty or failure until the release, until the bliss of Nirvana issecured as an eternal possession. - (12)

24-26 - The main stress here has fallen on the stilling of theemotive mind, the mind of desire and the senses; but even themental thought has to be stilled in the silence of the self-existentbeing. First, all the desires born of the desire-will have to bewholly abandoned. One should slowly cease from mental actionby a buddhi held in the grasp of fixity and having fixed the mindin the higher self, one should not think of anything at all. Wheneverthe restless and unquiet mind goes forth, it should be controlledand brought into subjection in the Self - (13)

The Gita brings in here as always bhakti as the climax ofthe Yoga, sarvabhutasthitam yo mam bhajati ekatvam asthitah;that may almost be said to sum up the whole final result of theGita's teaching – whoever loves God in all and his soul is foundedupon the divine oneness, however he lives and acts, lives andacts in God. - (19)

32 - O Arjuna, he who sees all equally everywhere ashimself, whether it be happiness or suffering, I hold him to bethe Supreme Yogin (19A). And by this it is not meant at all thathe himself shall fall from the griefless spiritual bliss and feelagain worldly unhappiness,..... the play of dualities which hehimself has left and surmounted, he shall still see all as himself,his self in all, God in all and, not disturbed or bewildered by theappearances of these things, moved only by them to help andheal, to occupy himself with the good of all beings, to lead mento the spiritual bliss, to work for the progress of the worldGodwards, he shall live the divine life, so long as days uponearth are his portion. The God-lover who can do this, can thusembrace all things in God, can look calmly on the lower natureand the works of the Maya of the three gunas and act in themand upon them without perturbation or fall or disturbance fromthe height and power of the spiritual oneness, free in the largenessof the God-vision, sweet and great and luminous in the strengthof the God-nature, may well be declared to be the supremeYogin. - (20)

33–35 – Yoga is after all no easy thing to acquire, as Arjunasuggests, for the restless mind is always liable to be pulled downfrom these heights by the attacks of outward things and to fallback into the strong control of grief and passion and inequality.Therefore, the Gita proceeds to give us in addition to its generalmethod of knowledge and works a special process of Rajayogicmeditation also, a powerful method of practice, abhyasa, a strongway to the complete control of the mind and its workings.)–(20A)

37–45– Arjuna asks Kishna–What is the destiny of theperson who begins Yoga with faith, sraddha, for soul realisationbut after a time goes astray (becomes yoga bhrasta) due to hismind’s diversion and cannot succeed? Will he not be doomed todestruction failing in both material and spiritual life, likedisassembled clouds? It is only you who can dissolve my fear.

Krishna answers – If a person begins the practice of Yoga,but discontinues after a time, the soul carries the experience tohis next life. It is never lost. A person doing good works willnever suffer. Such a soul takes birth in a rich family or in thefamily of a wise Yogin. The memory of his past habit of Yogapractice comes back and compelled by the force of past habithe begins yoga with a greater vigour and reaches the goal ofGod realisation as a result of yoga sadhana for many lives.

SRI AUROBINDO ON TANTRA

The Gita starts from the Vedantic synthesis... of the threegreat means and powers, Love, knowledge, and Works, throughwhich the soul of man can directly approach and cast itself intothe Eternal. There is yet another, the Tantric, which is evenmore bold and forceful than the synthesis of the Gita, – for itseizes even upon the obstacles to the spiritual life and compelsthem to become the means for a richer spiritual conquest andin some direction and in some directions it is more immediatelyrich and fruitful.

Prakriti, are identified. For when Krishna declares I am the birthof the world and its dissolution, it is evident that it is this ParaPrakriti, the supreme Nature, of his being which is both thesethings. The supreme Nature, para prakritih, is then the infinitetimeless conscious power of the self-existent Being out of whichall existences in cosmos are manifested and come out oftimelessness into Time. But in order to provide a spiritual basisfor this manifold universal becoming in the cosmos the supremeNature formulates itself as the Jiva. The eternal multiple soul ofthe Purushottama appears as individual spiritual existence in allforms of the cosmos. The Jiva is the Lord, isvara, but in hispartial manifestation. - (5)

It is a cosmicveil which the Godhead has spun around our understanding;Brahma, Vishnu and Rudra have woven its complex threads; theShakti, the Supreme Nature is there at its base and is hidden inits every tissue. We have to work out this web in ourselves andturn through it and from it leaving it behind us when its use isfinished, turn from the gods to the original and supreme Godheadin whom we shall discover at the same time the last sense ofthe gods and their works and the inmost spiritual verities of ourimperishable existence.

The affairs of the world are managed by the gods. Thoughthey are very powerful, like human beings they are not freefrom the three gunas, modes of Nature and ego. To free ourselvesfrom the bondage of the gunas we must surrender to theSupreme.

Sri Aurobindo writes about God's help and Immortality –Even through the tangled anarchy called FateAnd through the bitterness of death and fallAn outstretched Hand is felt upon our lives.It is near us in unnumbered bodies and births;In its unshaken grasp it keeps for us safeThe one inevitable supreme resultNo will can take away and no doom change,The crown of conscious Immortality,The godhead promised to our struggling soulsWhen first man's heart dared death and suffered life.

16– A first necessary step upward is to aspire to a highernature, to obey a better rule than the rule of desire, to become aright thinker and a right doer. This too is not in itself enough; foreven the sattwic man is subject to the bewilderment of the gunas,because he is still governed by wish and disliking, iccha-dvesa (7/27). Still by the constant upward aspiration in his ethical aim hein the end gets rid of the obscuration of sin which is the obscurationof rajasic desire and passion and acquires a purified nature.

Among those who have put away the sin of rajasic egoismand are moving towards the Divine, the Gita distinguishes betweenfour bhaktas. There are those who turn to him as a refuge fromsorrow and suffering, arta. There are those who seek him as thegiver of good, artharthi. There are those who come to him in thedesire for knowledge, jijnasu. And lastly there are those whoadore him with knowledge, jnani. – (11B)

17, 18– It is bhakti with knowledge which the Gita demandsfrom the disciple and it regards all other forms of devotion asgood in themselves but still inferior. All these movements withoutexception are high and good, udarah sarva evaite, but thebhakti with knowledge excels them all, visisyate. The Godloverwho has the knowledge, jnani bhakta, says the Godhead in theGita, is my self, the very self-being and all-being of thePurushottama with which he is in union. His is the divine birthin the supreme Nature, integral in being, completed in will,absolute in love, perfected in knowledge. In him the Jiva's cos-mic existence is justified because it has exceeded itself and sofound its own whole and highest truth of being. - (12)

28 - For escape from this circle [from dualities, from bondageof ignorance] the first necessity is to get clear of the sin of thevital ego, the fire of passion, the tumult of desire of the rajasicnature, and this has to be done by the steadying sattwic impulseof the ethical being. After a certain point of growth in thesattwic nature brings an increasing capacity for a high quietude,equality and transcendence – it is necessary to rise above thedualities and to become impersonal, equal, one self with theImmutable, one self with all existences. This process of growinginto the spirit completes our purification. Equality and vision ofunity once perfectly gained, a supreme bhakti, an all-embracingdevotion to the Divine, becomes the whole and the sole law ofthe being. The soul then becomes firm in this bhakti, te bhajantemam driha-vratah. - (18)

Because they know Me..... and the truth of theMaster of sacrifice, they keep knowledge of Me also in thecritical moment of their departure from physical existence andhave at that moment their whole consciousness in union withMe.

3-4 – By that Brahman, the Gita intends the immutableself-existence which is the highest self-expression of the Divineand on whose unalterable eternity all the rest, all that moves andevolves, is founded, aksaram paramam. By adhyatma it meanssvabhava, the spiritual way and law of being of the soul in thesupreme Nature. The immutable Brahman does nothing, causesnothing, determines nothing; it is impartial, equal, all-supporting.What then originates? It is Nature as Swabhava. The Supreme,the Godhead, the Purushottama is there and supports the actionof his higher spiritual shakti. He displays the divine Being,Consciousness, Will or Power, yayedam dharyate jagat : thatis the Para Prakriti. The self-awareness of the Spirit in hissupreme Nature perceives the dynamic idea of what ever heseparates in his own being and expresses it in the swabhava. Allthat is in the swabhava is loosed out into cosmic Nature for herto do what she can with it under the inner eye of thePurushottama. Out of the constant svabhava, she creates thevaried mutations, unrolls all her changes in name and form, intime and space.

All this bringing out and continual change from state tostate is Karma, is action of Nature, is the energy of Prakriti, theworker, the goddess of processes. It is first a loosing forth of theswabhava into its creative action, visargah. By adhibhuta is tobe understood all the result of mutable becoming, ksara bhavah.

By adhidaiva is intended the Purusha, the soul in Nature, thesubjective being who observes and enjoys as the object of hisconsciousness all that is this mutable becoming of his essentialexistence. The soul in Nature is the ksara purusa, it is themutable soul, the eternal activity of the Godhead. By adhiyajna,the Lord of works and sacrifice, I mean, says Krishna, myself,the Divine, the Godhead, the Purushottama. - (1)

(1) The highest self-expression of the supreme Lord, theDivine the Absolute is the immutable Akshara Brahman whosupports the entire creation and in whom all moves.

(2) The supreme Nature (swabhava) of Akshara Brahmanis adhyatma – para prakriti

5– Man, born into the world, revolves between world andworld in the action of Prakriti and Karma. Purusha in Prakritiis his formula : what the soul in him thinks, contemplates andacts, that always he becomes. All that he had been, determinedhis present birth : and all that he is, thinks, does in this life upto the moment of his death, determines what he will become inthe worlds beyond and in lives yet to be. If the soul in the humanbeing desires to attain to the status of the Purushottama, thereare two necessities, two conditions which must be satisfied beforethat can be possible. He must have moulded towards that idealhis whole inner life in his earthly living; and he must be faithfulto his aspiration and will in his departing. "Whoever leaves hisbody and departs," says Krishna, "remembering Me at his timeof end, comes to my bhava," that of the Purushottama, mystatus of being. He is united with the original being of the Divineand that is the ultimate becomeing of the soul, paro bhavah, thelast result of Karma in its return upon itself and towards itssource.

The Gita here lays a great stress on the thought and stateof mind at the time of death, a stress which will with difficultybe understood if we do not recognise what may be called theself-creative power of the consciousness. What the thought, theinner regard, the faith, sraddha, settles itself, into that our innerbeing tends to change. This tendency becomes a decisive forcewhen we go to those higher spiritual and self-evolved experiences.There we can see ourselves steadily becoming that on whichwe keep our minds fixed and to which we constantly aspire. Butit is not a death-bed remembrance that can have this savingpower. - (2)

9-14- He [Supreme Purusha, Purushottama] is indiscernibleonly because he is subtler than the last subtlety of which themind is aware and because the form of the Divine is beyond ourthought, anor aniyamsam acintya-rupam. This supreme Souland Self is the Seer, the Ancient of Days and the Master andRuler of all existence, kavin puranam anusasitaram sarvasyadhataram. This supreme Soul is the immutable self-existentBrahman of whom the Veda-Knowers speak, and this is thatinto which the doers of askesis enter. That eternal reality is thehighest step, place, foot-hold of being (padam); therefore is itthe supreme goal of soul’s movement in Time, itself no movementbut a status original, sempiternal (everlasting) and supreme,paramam sthanam adyam.

The Gita describes the last state of the mind of the Yoginin which he passes from life through death to this supremedivine existence. A motionless mind, a soul armed with the strengthof Yoga, a union with God in bhakti and the life force entirelydrawn up and set between the brows in the seat of mysticvision. All the doors of the sense are closed, the mind is shut ininto the heart, the life-force taken up out of its diffused movementinto the head, the intelligence concentrated in the utterance ofthe sacred syllable OM and its conceptive thought in theremembrace of the supreme Godhead, mam anusmaran. Thatis the established Yogic way of going, a last offering up of thewhole being to the Eternal, the Transcendent. The essentialcondition is the constant undeviating memory of the Divine in

life, even in action and battle – mam anusmara yudhya ca, (8/7) - and the turning of the whole act of living into an uninterruptedYoga, nitya-yoga. Whoever does that, finds Me easy to attain,says the Godhead; he is the great soul who reaches the supremeperfection. - (6)

15-16 - The conditon to which the soul arrives when it thusdeparts from life is supracosmic. The highest heavens of thecosmic plan are subject to a return to rebirth; but there is norebirth imposed on the soul that departs to the Purushottama. Toknow him so and so to seek him does not bind to rebirth or tothe chain of Karma; the soul can satisfy its desire to escapepermanently from the transient and painful condition of our mortalbeing. - (7)

17–20– There is an eternal cycle of alternating periods ofcosmic manifestation and non-manifestation, each period calledrespectively a day and a night of the creator Brahma, each ofequal length in Time, the long aeon of his working which enduresfor a thousand ages, the long aeon of his sleep of anotherthousand silent ages. (One age=four yugas) At the coming ofthe Day all manifestations are born into being out of theunmanifest, at the coming of the Night all vanish or are dissolvedinto it. Thus all these existences alternate helplessly in the cycleof becoming and non-becoming, they come into the becomingagain and again bhutva bhutva, and they go back constantly into

the unmanifest. But this unmanifest is not the original divinity ofthe Being; there is another status of his existence, a supracosmicunmanifest beyond this cosmic non-manifestation. [Avyakta(unmanifest) in Sl. 18 is cosmic.] There is a supracosmicunmanifest which is eternal, not forced to perish with the per-ishing of all the existences. - (8)

He (Krishna) is going to open his (Arjuna's) mind to theknowledge and sight of the integral divinity (vision of the world-spirit, ch XI). Arjuna is to become aware of himself as existingonly in God and as acting only by the power within him, hisworkings only an instrumentality of the divine action

This vision (of world-spirit, biswarupa) is to removewhatever doubt may still remain within his mind; it is to makehim strong for the action from which he has shrunk. Intellectualclarity is not enough; he must see with inner sight illumining hisblind outward human vision. He has been shown that there aretwo opposed ways of working and living, one in the ignoranceof the ego, one in the clear self-knowledge of a divine being. Hemay act with desire, with passion, an ego driven by the qualitiesof lower Nature, bound on the world machine, caught up in agreat tangle of action and inaction and perverse action whichperplex the heart and mind and soul of man. But he is not utterlytied down to the works of ignorance; he may do if he will theworks of knowledge. He may work here as the higher thinker,

the knower, the Yogin, the seeker of freedom first and after-wards the liberated spirit. To perceive that great possibility andto keep his will and intelligence fixed on the knowledge is thepath of escape from his sorrow and bewilderment.

There is a spirit within us calm, superior to works, equal,not bound in this external tangle. To become spirit, no longermerely a mind and ego is is the opening word of this messageof liberation.

Arjuna has been therefore called upon first to give up alldesire of the fruits of his works and become simply the desirelessimpartial doer of whatever has to be done, – leaving the fruit tothe master of the cosmic workings. He has to give up the ideaof being the doer and to see that it is the universal intelligence,will, mind, life, that is at work in him and in all others. Natureis the universal worker, his works are hers. If he can do thesetwo things spiritually, then the tangle and bondage of his workswill fall far away from him; for the whole knot of that bondagelay in his egoistic demand. Passion and sin and personal joy andgrief will fade away from his soul. Action will produce nosubjective reaction and will leave no stain nor any mark on hisspirit's purity and peace. He will have the inner joy, rest, easeand inalienable bliss of a free unaffected being. His separativeegoistic personality will have been taken up and extinguished inthe impersonality of spiritual being; his separative egoistic naturewill be unified with the action of cosmic Nature. The divinedetachment must be the foundation for a divine participation inNature.

Throughout Krishna, the Avatar, the Teacher, the charioteerof human soul in the world-action, has been preparing therevelation of the secret of himself, Nature's deepest secret. "Iwho am within thee," he was saying, "I who am here in thishuman body, I for whom all exists, acts, strives, am at once the

secret of the self-existent spirit and of the cosmic action. Knowthyself, be thyself that thou mayst be united with Me of whomthis timeless self is the clear light or the transparent curtain. Ithe Godhead am the highest truth of self and spirit." - (1)

2 - What it (Gita) is going to say is the most secret thingof all. It is the knowledge of the whole Godhead, samagrammam. This is the wisdom of all wisdoms, the secret of all secrets,the king knowledge, the king secret. It is a pure and supremelight which one can verify by direct spiritual experience and seein oneself as the truth: it is the right and just knowledge, the verylaw of being. It is easy to practise when one gets hold of it, seesit, tries faithfully to live in it. - (2)

3 - Faith is necessary. The soul that fails to get faith in thehigher truth and law must return into the path of ordinary mortalliving subject to death and error and evil: it cannot grow into theGodhead which it denies. For this is a truth which has to be lived– and lived in the soul's growing light. One has to grow into it,one has to become it, – that is the only way to verify it. It isonly by an exceeding of the lower self that one can become the

real divine self and live the truth of our spiritual existence. Therelease from the evil and the defect of the lower Nature,asubham, can only come by accepting a higher knowledge inwhich all this apparent evil becomes convinced of ultimateunreality, is shown to be a creation of our darkness. But to growthus into the freedom of the divine Nature one must accept andbelieve in the Godhead secret within our present limited nature.For the reason why the practice of this Yoga becomes possobleand easy is that in doing it we give up the whole working of allthat we naturally are into the hands of that inner divine Purusha.The Godhead works out the divine birth in us progressively,simply, infallibly, by taking up our being into his and by filling itwith his own knowledge and power, jnanadipena bhasvata; helays hands on our obscure ignorant nature and transforms it intohis own light and wideness. What with entire faith and withoutegoism we believe in and impelled by him will to be, the Godwithin will surely accomplish. But the egoistic mind and life mustsurrender into the hands of that inmost secret Divinity within us.- (3)

5 - And even to say of him that all exists in him is not thewhole truth of the matter: for it is to speak of him with the ideaof space, and the Divine is spaceless and timeless. Space andtime, immanence and pervation and exceeding are all of themterms and images of his consciousness. There is a Yoga ofdivine power, me yoga aisvara, by which the Supreme createsphenomena [material world] of himself in a spiritual, not amaterial, self-formulation of his own extended infinity, an extensionof which the material is only an image. He is at once one withall that is and yet exceeds it; but he is other also than this selfor extended infinity of spiritual being which contains and exceedsthe universe. This is the mystery of his being that he issupracosmic, yet not in any exclusive sense extracosmic [beyondthe universe]. For he pervades it all as its self; there is a luminous

uninvolved presence of the self-being of God, mama atma, whichis in constant relation with the becoming and brings all itsexistences into manifestation by his simple presence. We havethese terms of being and becoming, existence in itself, atman,and existences dependent upon it, bhutani, mutable beings andimmutable being. (Being - ’é¬1 ¬ıËp¡, Becoming - ¸‘ø©Ü‡Ú, ¸‘©Ü¬ıdÀ¬ı±1, ¸¬ı« ”¬Ó¬±øÚ 9˚4) But the highest truth of these two (Aksharaand Kshara) must be found in that which exceeds it; it is thesupreme Godhead who manifests both containing self and itscontained phenomena by the power of his spiritual consciousness,yogamaya. The highest truth of the supreme is supracosmicand all that is phenomenal [Ê√άˇ Ê√·»] seems a thing other thanthe infinity of the self-conscious spirit, seems an image of alesser truth if not an illussion. When we dwell in this differenceonly, we regard the Divine as if extracosmic. That he is only inthis sense that he is not, being supracosmic, contained in thecosmos and its creations, but not in the sense that they areoutside his being: for there is nothing outside the one Eternal andReal. We realise this first truth of the Godhead spiritually whenwe get the experience that we live and move and have ourbeing in him alone, that, however different from him we may be,we depend on him for our existence and the universe itself isonly a phenomenon and movement in the spirit.

Thus the Gita begins by affirming that the Supreme containsall things in himself, but is not in any, matsthani sarvabhutani,"all are situated in Me, not I am in them," (9/4), and yet it proceedsimmediately to say," and yet all existences are not situated in Me,my self is the bearer of all existences and it is not situated inexistences." (9/5). And yet again it insists with an apparent self-contradiction that the Divine has lodged himself, has taken up hisabode in the human body, manusam tanum asritam, (9/11), and

1±Ê√ø¬ı√…±-1±Ê√& √√…-Œ˚±··œÓ¬±

[182][181]

Page 127: Bhagavad Gita

that the recognition of this truth is necessary for the soul's releaseby the intergral way of works and love and knowledge. Thesestatements are only in appearance inconsistent with each other. Itis as the supracosmic Godhead that he is not in existences, noreven they in him, for the distinction we make between Being andbecoming applies only to the manifestation in the phenomenaluniverse (material creation). In the supracosmic existence all iseternal Being and all, if there too there is any multiplicity, areeternal beings, nor can the spatial idea (idea of space) of indwell-ing come in, since a supracosmic absolute being is not affectedby the concepts of time and space which are created here by theLord's Yogamaya. There is a spiritual, not a spatial or temporal (oftime) co-existence, a spiritual identity and coincidence must be thefoundation. But, on the other hand, in the cosmic manifestationthere is an extension of universe in space and time by the supremeunmanifest supracosmic Being, and in that extension he appearsfirst as a self (Akshara Brahman) who supports all these existences;bhutabhrit, he bears them in his all pervading self-existence.And, even through this omnipresent self the supreme Self too, theParamatman, can be said to bear the universe; he is its invisiblespiritual foundation and hidden spiritual cause of the becoming ofall existences. He bears the universe as the secret spirit in usbears our thoughts, works, movements. He seems to pervade andto contain mind, life and body to support them by his presence: butthis pervasion is itself an act of consciousness, not material; thebody itself is only a constant act of consciousness of the spirit. -(5)

7 – The Supreme from above cosmic existence leans orpresses down upon his Nature to loose from it in an eternalcyclic recurrence all that it contains in it, all that was oncemanifest and has become latent. The Jiva follows the cycle ofits becoming (taking birth) in the action of this divine Nature,prakritim mamikam, svam prakritim, the “own nature” of theDivine. It becomes in the turns of her progression this or thatpersonality; it follows always the curve, of its own law of being;it returns out of her action into her immobility and silence in thelapse of cycle.

9, 10–The Divine too follows the cycle, not as subject to it,but as its informing Spirit and guide, not with his whole beinginvolved in it, but with his power of being accompanying andshaping it. He is the presiding control of his own action ofNature, adhyaksa, – not a spirit born in her, but the creativespirit who causes her to produce all that appears in themanifestation. If in his power he accompanies her (Nature) andcauses all her workings, he is outside it too, as if one seatedabove her universal action in the supracosmic mastery, notattached to her by any involving and mastering desire and nottherefore bound by her works, because he infinitely exceedsthem and precedes them, is the same before, during and afterall their procession in the cycles of Time.– (6A)

11, 12 – Deluded minds, mudha, despise, avajananti, Melodged in the human body, manusim tanum asritam, becausethey know not My supreme nature of being, Lord of allexistences.–(6B)

Mortal mind is bewildered by its ignorant reliance uponveils and appearances; it sees only the outward human body,human mind, human way of living and catches no liberatingglimpse of the Divinity who is lodged in the creature. It ignoresthe divinity within itself and cannot see it in other men, and eventhough the Divine manifest himself in humanity as Avatar andVibhuti, it is still blind and ignores or despises the veiled Godhead,avajanati mam mudha manusim tanum asritam. What it does seereadily is only the life of the ego hunting after finite (impermanent)things for their own sake and for the satisfaction of the earthlyhunger of the intellect, body, senses. But to live persistently inthis separtive ego-consciousness and make that the centre of allour activities is to miss altogether the true self–awareness. Allits hope, action, knowledge are vain things when judged by thedivine and eternal standard. It is a false knowledge that sees the

15 - Those who lay a predominant stress on knowledge,arrive to the same point by an increasing, engrossing, enforcingpower of the vision of the Divine on the soul and nature. Theirsis a sacrifice of knowledge and by an ineffable ecstasy ofknowledge they come to the adoration of the Purushottama,jnana-yajnena yajanto mam upasate. It is a heart-felt seekingand seizing of the Supreme and the Universal, a pursuit of theInfinite in his infinity and of the Infinite in all that is finite, avision and embracing of the One in his oneness and of the Onein all, his innumerable visages, everywhere, in endless aspects ofhis Godhead, in all his million universal faces, ekatvenaprithaktvena bahudha visvatomukham. - (9)

16 - The outward Vedic rite is a powerful symbol, but thereal sacrifice is that inner oblation (offering, sacrifice) in whichthe Divine All becomes himself the ritual action, the sacrificeand every single circumstance of the sacrifice. The DivineInhabitant (the soul) becomes himself the flame and the offering,because the flame is Godward will and that will is God himselfwithin us. The Divine Thinker becomes himself the sacredmantra; it is the Light of his being that expresses itself in the

thought directed Godward and is effective in the revealing wordof splendour that enshrines the thought's secret and in the rhythmthat repeats for man the rhythms of the Eternal. - (10)

[The offering of all physical works, thoughts and feelingsand reactions to any situation to the Divine is sacrifice, Yajna.]

Will is Kratu, the effective power behind the act. This willis Agni, the flame of the Divine will or Force of Consciousnessworking in the worlds. The mental will, Kratu, becomes what itat present only represents, the divine will, Agni.

17 - The illumining Godhead is himself the Veda and thatwhich is made known by the Veda. He is both the knowledgeand the object of the knowledge. The Rik, the Yajur, the Sama,the word of illumination which lights up the mind with the raysof knowledge are themselves the Brahman, the Godhead. Allword and thought are an out flowering of the great OM, – OM,the Word, the Eternal. OM is the sovereign source, seed, wombof thing and idea, form and name, – it is itself, integrally, thesupreme Intangible, the original Unity, the timeless Mystery self-existent above all manifestation in supernal being. This sacrificeis therefore at once works and adoration and knowledge. - (11)

18 - The world and fate and uncertain eventuality cannotterrify, the aspect of suffering and evil cannot bewilder the manwho has surrendered himself to the Eternal. God to the soul thatsees is the path and God is the goal of his journey, a path inwhich there is no self-losing and a goal to which his wiselyguided steps are surely arriving at every moment. He knows theGodhead as the master of his and all being, the upholder of hisnature, the husband of the nature-soul, its lover and cherisher,the inner witness of all his thoughts and actions. God is hishouse and country, the refuge of his seekings and desires, thewise and close and benignant friend of all beings. All birth andstatus and destruction of apparent existences is to his vision andexperience the One who brings forward, maintains and with-draws his temporal self-manifestation. He alone is theimperishable seed and origin of all that seem to be born andperish and their eternal resting place in their non-manifestation.- (12)

20-21 – Outward religion is the worship of an outwarddeity. Their object is to secure after the mortal pleasure and painof earthly life the bliss of heavenly worlds, a greater happinessthan earth can give but still a personal and mundane enjoymentthough in a larger world than the field of this limited and sufferingterrestial nature. Thus the Vedic ritualist of old learned the exoteric[external] sense of the triple Veda, purified himself from sin,drank the wine of communion with the gods.

Here and not elsewhere the highest Godhead has to befound, the soul's divine nature developed out of the imperfectphysical human nature and through unity with God and man anduniverse the whole large truth of being discovered and lived andmade visibly wonderful. - (14)

23 - Ordinary religion is a sacrifice to partial godheads,other than integral Divinity. Gita takes its direct examples fromthe old Vedic religion; it describes this outward worship as asacrifice to other godheads, anyadevatah, to the gods or to thedivinised Ancestors, or to elemental powers and spirits, devan,pitrin, bhutani, if they do this with faith, then their faith is justified;for the Divine accepts whatever symbol, form or conception ofhimself is present to the mind of the worshipper, yam yamtanum sraddhaya archati, (7/21), and meets him according tothe faith that is in him. However small or low the form of theworship, however limited the idea of the godhead, howeverrestricted the giving, the faith, the effort to get behind the veilof one's own ego worship and limitation by material Nature, ityet forms a thread of connection between the soul of man andthe All-Soul. This inferior offering is not given according to thetrue and highest law of sacrifice. It is not founded on a knowledgeof the supreme Godhead – na mam abhijananti tattvena.Therefore its sacrifice too is limited in its object, largely egoisticin its motive, partial and mistaken in its action and giving, yajantiavidhipurvakam. An entire seeing of the Divine (with theknowledge that all is Brahman) is the condition of an entireconscious self-surrender. - (16)

27- This absolute self-giving, this one-minded surrender isthe devotion which the Gita makes the crown of its synthesis.All action and effort are by this devotion turned into an offeringto the supreme and universal Godhead. "Whatever thou doest,whatever thou enjoyest, whatever thou sacrificest, whatever thougivest, whatever energy of tapasya, of the soul's will or effortthou puttest forth, make it an offering unto Me." Here the least,the slightest circumstance of life, the most insignificant gift outof oneself or what one has, the smallest action assumes a divine

28- As there is no straining after the good result of one'saction, no shunning of unhappy result, but all action and resultare given up to the Supreme to whom all work and fruit in theworld belong for ever, there is no farther bondage, and there isa perfect union between the Divine and the individual soul throughan inner renunciation. The finite nature thus surrendered becomesa free channel of the Infinite; the soul in its spiritual being,uplifted out of the ignorance and its limitation returns to itsoneness with the Eternal. - (18)

29 - The Divine Eternal is the inhabitant in all existences:he is equal in all and the equal friend, father, mother, creator,

lover, supporter of all creatures. He is the enemy of none andhe is the partial lover of none; none has he cast out, none hashe eternally condemned. But it is only this perfect adoration thatcan make this indwelling of God in man and man in God aconscious thing and an engrossing and perfect union. Love ofthe Highest and a total self-surrender are the straight and swiftway to this divine oneness.- (19)

31 - "Swiftly he becomes a soul of righteousness and obtainseternal peace. This is my word of promise," cries the voice ofthe Godhead to Arjuna, "that he who loves Me shall not perish."

A will of entire self-giving opens wide all the gates of thespirit and brings in response an entire descent and self-giving ofthe Godhead to the human being. The will of self-giving forcesaway the veil between God and man; it annuls every error and

annihilates every obstacle. When the soul gives up its ego andits work to the Divine, God himself comes to us and takes upour burden. To the ignorant he brings the light of the Divineknowledge, to the feeble the power of the divine will, to thesinner the liberation of the divine purity, to the suffering theinfinite spiritual joy and Ananda. - (21)

34 – To make the mind one with the divine consciosuness,to make the whole of our emotional nature one love of Godeverywhere, to make all our works one sacrifice to the Lord ofthe worlds and all our worship and aspiration one adoration ofhim and self-surrender, to direct the whole self Godwards in anentire union is the way to rise out of a mundane into a divineexistence. This is Gita’s teaching of divine love and devotion, inwhich knowledge, works and heart’s longing become one in asupreme unification, a merging of all their divergences, anintertwining of all their thereads, a high fusion, a wide identifyingmovement - (24)

12–18– Arjuna accepts the entire knowledge that has thusbeen given to him by the divine Teacher. His mind is alreadydelivered from doubts; his heart, turned now from the outwardaspect of the world, from its baffling appearance to its supremesense and origin and its inner realities, is already released fromsorrow. He accepts the Avatar [Krishna] as the supremeBrahman, as the supracosmic All and Absolute of existence inwhich the soul can dwell when it rises out of this manifestationto its source, param brahma, param dhama. He accepts him asthe supreme purity, as the one Permanent, the eternal Soul, thedivine Purusha. He accepts him as the lord of all existences andcause of their becoming, God of the gods, master of the universe.Lastly he accepts him as that Vasudeva in and around us whois all things, “the sovereign powers of the becoming by whichthou standest pervading these worlds.” His heart is full of delightof it, he finds that it is delivering him from the perplexity of hismind. He asks Krishna – “Thou shouldst tell me of thy divineself-manifestations in thy sovereign power of becoming – thyVibhutis by which thou pervadest these worlds and in what pre-eminent becomings should I think of thee? –(9)

The unfelt Self within who is the guide,The unknown Self above who is the goal.A mighty supernature waits on TimeAnd garbed in beggar’s robes there walks the OneBehind the act a secret sweetness breathes.

* * *He is the Maker and the world he made,He is the vision and he is the seer;He is himself the actor and the act,He is himself the knower and the known,He is himself the dreamer and the dream.

1, 2 – He (Arjuna) has heard the highest spiritual secret ofexistence, that all is from God and all is the Divine and in allthings God dwells and is concealed and can be revealed in everyfinite appearance. The illusion (of doer of actions) has passedfrom him. He knows that the imperishable greatness of thedivine conscious Soul is the secret of all these appearances. Allis a Yoga of this great eternal spirit in things and all happeningsare the result and expression of that Yoga; all Naure is full ofthe secret Godhead and in labour to reveal him in her. But hewould see too the very form and body of this Godhead. - (1)

9-31 – The supreme Form is then made visible. It is thatof the infinite Godhead whose faces are everywhere, and inwhom are all the wonders of existence, a world-wide Divinityseeing with innumerable eyes, speaking from innumerable mouths,armed for battle with numberless divine uplifted weapons, gloriouswith divine ornaments, robed in heavenly raiment of deity. Suchis the light of this body of God as if a thousand suns had risenat once in heaven. Arjuna sees him, God magnificent and beautifuland terrible. "I see" he cries "all the gods in thy body, O God,and different companies of beings, Brahma the creating lordseated in the Lotus, and the Rishis and the race of the divineSerpents. I see numberless arms and bellies and eyes and faces,I see thy infinite forms on every side, but I see not thy end norany middle nor thy beginning, O Lord of the universe. Thou artthe supreme Immutable (aksharam paramam) whom we haveto know, thou art the high foundation and abode of the universe"(param nidhanam).

But in the greatness of this vision there is too the terrificimage of the Destroyer. This Godhead who embraces the worldswith his numberless arms and destroys with his million hands,whose eyes are suns and moons, has a face of blazing fire andis ever burning up the whole universe with the flame of hisenergy. The form of him is fierce and marvelous and alone itfills all the regions between earth and heaven. It has mouths thatgape to devour, it has faces like the fires of Death and Time.The kings and captains are hastening into its terrible jaws; thenations are rushing to destruction with helpless speed into itsmouths of flame. He (Arjuna) cries to the dreadful Godhead,"Declare to me who thou art that wearest this form of fierce-ness." - (4)

32 - Destruction, replies the Godhead, is the will of myworkings with which I stand here on this field of Kurukshetra,the field of the working out of the Dharma – a world-widedestruction which has come in the process of the Time-Spirit. Ihave a foreseeing purpose which fulfils itself infallibly and noparticipation or abstention of any human being can prevent, alteror modify it; all is done by Me already in my eternal eye of willbefore it can all be done by man upon earth. I as Time have todestroy the old structure and to build up a new, mighty andsplendid kingdom. - (5)

52, 53, 54 – The gods themselves ever desire to look uponit. It cannot be won by Veda or austerities or gifts or sacrifice,it can be seen, known, entered into only by that bhakti whichregards, adores and loves Me alone in all things. For transcendent,universal and individual Godhead, spirit and Nature, Infinite andfinite, space and time and timelessness, Being and Becoming, allthat we can strive to think and know of the Godhead, whetherof the absolute or the manifested existence, are wonderfullyrevealed in an ineffable oneness. This vision can be reachedonly by the absolute adoration, the love, the intimate unity thatcrowns at their summit the fullness of works and knowledge.

(From the experience of the Biswarupadarsana, the visionof the World-Spirit, Arjuna is convinced by direct vision that Godis the doer of all works, human beings are only His instruments.So he puts this question- "Who is the greater Yogin, the devoteewho wants to unite with God through karmayoga or the seekerwho wants to merge in the unmanifest Akshara Brahman throughknowledge?" The first one becomes ultimately a dynamicinstrument of God, while for the second works have little

importance from the point of God realisation, because his aim isto merge in the inactive unmanifest Brahman)

through the manifest Immutable here. The manifest Immutableis my own all-pervading impersonality and silence; vast,unthinkable, immobile, constant, omnipresent, it supports the actionof the personality but does not share in it.

The easier way of the Gita leads more rapidly, naturally andnormally to the same absolute liberation. It brings a swift andeffectual unchaining [freedom] from the phenomenal [worldly]bondage of death and birth. The Yogin of exclusive knowledgeimposes on himself a painful struggle with the manifold demandsof his nature; he denies them even their highest satisfaction andcuts away from him even the upward impulses of his spirit [Theseekers of knowledge donot pay attention to the full developmentof the soul, since their aim is to merge in the unmanifest Absolute.'The upward impulses of his spirit' means the aspiration of thesoul to grow into God which the seeker of knowledge denies.Our soul is only a spark of God. It is constantly growing alongwith our nature's evolution]. The living way of the Gita, on thecontrary, finds out the most intense upward trend of all our beingand turning it Godwards uses knowledge, will, feeling and theinstinct for perfection as so many puissant wings of a mountingliberation. (Our thought, will, feeling, action become wings forour upward flight when we offer them to the Divine everymoment.) - (3)

5 - The unmanifest Brahman in its indefinable unity is athing to which embodied souls can only arrive and that hardly by

a constant mortification, a suffering of all the repressed members,a stern difficulty and anguish of the nature, dukham avapyate,kleso'dhikataras tesam. The indefinable Oneness accepts allthat climb to it, but offers no help of relation and gives nofoothold to the climber. All has to be done by a severe austerityand a stern and lonely individual effort. How different is it forthose who seek after the Purushottama in the way of the Gita!When they meditate on him with a Yoga which sees none else,because it sees all to be Vasudeva (7/19), he meets them atevery point, in every moment, at all times, with innumerableforms and faces, holds up the lamp of knowledge within andfloods with its divine and happy lustre the whole existence. - (4)

Baby cat and baby monkeyThere are two paths of Yoga, one of tapasya (discipline)

and the other of surrender. The path of tapasya is arduous.Here you rely solely upon yourself, you proceed by your ownstrength. You ascend and achieve according to the measure ofyour force. There is always the danger of falling down. Andonce you fall, you lie broken in the abyss and there is hardly aremedy. The other path, the path of surrender, is safe and sure.You may follow, as Ramakrishna says, either the path of thebaby monkey or that of the baby cat. The baby monkey holdsto its mother in order to be carried about and it must hold firm,otherwise if it loses its grip, it falls. On the other hand, the babycat does not hold to its mother, but is held by the mother and hasno fear nor responsibility; it has nothing to do but to let themother hold it and cry ma ma.

If you take up this path of surrender fully and sincerely,there is no more danger or serious difficulty. The question is tobe sincere. If you are not sincere, donot begin Yoga.

The Mother, Conversations.

6, 7 – Here the actions are all given up to the supremeMaster of action and he as the supreme Will meets the will ofsacrifice, takes from it its burden and assumes to himself thecharge of the works of the divine Nature in us. And when tooin the high passion of love the devotee of the Lover and Friendof man and of all creatures casts upon him all his heart ofconsciousness and yearning of delight, then swiftly the Supremecomes to him as the saviour and deliverer and exalts him by ahappy embrace of his mind and heart and body out of the wavesof the sea of death in this mortal nature into the secure bosomof the Eternal. - (5)

But still by the practice of union and by constantrepetition of the experience, that highest spirit grows upon thebeing and takes permanent possession of the nature. (7)

10 - Is this also found too diifficult because of the powerand persistence of the outward-going movement of the mind?Then the way is simple, to do all actions for the sake of the Lordof the action. Then the presence of the Purushottama will growupon the natural man, till he is filled with it and becomes aGodhead and a spirit; all life will become a constant rememberingof God and perfection too will grow and the unity of the wholeexistence of the human soul with the supreme Existence. - (8)

by a silent complete concentration on the Truth so that theconsciousness shall eventually live in it and be always one withit. But more powerful still is the giving up of fruit of one's works,because that immediately destroys all causes of disturbance andbrings and preserves automatically an inner calm and peace. -(10)

13, 14 – What then will be the divine nature of the bhaktawho has turned to the adoration of the Eternal? First, an absenceof egoism, of I-ness and my-ness, nirmama nirahamkarah.The bhakta of the Purushottama is one who has a universalheart. A universal love dwells in his heart, a universal compassionflows from it like an encompassing sea. He will have friendshipand pity for all beings and hate for no living thing: for he ispatient, long suffering, enduring, a well of forgiveness. A desirelesscontent is his, a tranquil equality to pleasure and pain, sufferingand happiness, the steadfast control of self and the firm unshakablewill and resolution of the Yogin and a love and devotion whichgives up the whole mind and reason to the Lord, to the Masterof his consciousness and knowledge. - (11)

20 - Exceedingly dear, ativa me priyah, are those soulsnearest to the Godhead whose love of Me is completed by thestill wider and greatest perfection of which I have just shown toyou the way and the process. These are the bhaktas who makethe Purushottama their one supreme aim and follow out with aperfect faith and exactitude the immortalising Dharma describedin this teaching. Dharma, in the language of the Gita, means theinnate law of the being and its works and an action proceedingfrom and determind by the inner nature, svabhava niyatamkarma. In the lower ignorant consciousness of mind, life andbody there are many dharmas, many rules, many standards andlaws because there are many varying determinations and typesof the mental, vital and physical nature. The immortal Dharmais one; it is that of the highest spiritual divine consciousness andits powers, para prakritih. It is beyond the three gunas, and toreach it all these lower dharmas have to be abandoned, sarva

dharman parityajya. Alone in their place the one liberatingunifying consciousness and power of the Eternal has to becomethe infinite source of our action. To rise out of our lower personalegoism, to enter into the impersonal and equal calm of theimmutable eternal all-pervading Akshara Purusha, to aspire fromthat calm by a perfect self- surrender of all one's nature andexistence to that which is other and higher than the Akshara, isthe first necessity of this Yoga. In the strength of that aspirationone can rise to the immortal Dharma. There, made one in being,consciousness and divine bliss with the greatest Uttama Purusha,made one with his supreme dynamic nature-force, sva prakritih,the liberated spirit can know infinitely, love illimitably, actunfalteringly in the authentic power of a highest immortality anda perfect freedom. - (16)

1. It is necessary to bring out more definitely the preciserelations between the supreme Purusha, the immutable Self, theJiva and Prakriti in her action and her gunas. Arjuna is thereforemade to put a question. He asks to learn of the Purusha and thePrakriti; he inquires of the field of being and the knower of thefield and of knowledge and the object of knowledge. - (1)

8–12– The Gita tells us what are the signs of the manwhose soul is turned signs towards the inner wisdom. Thesesigns are–his strong turning away of the heart from attachmentto outward and worldly things, his inward and brooding spirit, hissteady mind and calm equality, absence of worldly pride andarrogance, a candid soul, a tolerant, long-suffering and benignantheart, purity of mind and body, self control and heart’s worshipgiven to the Teacher, a firm removal of natural being’s attractionto the objects of the senses and freedom from the claims of thatego-sense. There is no longer any clinging to the attachment offamily and home. There is a constant equalness to all pleasant

35– In the light of that sun of knowledge the eye ofknowledge opens in us and we live in that truth and no longerin ignorance. Then we are liberated from the law of the lowerPrakriti, the law of the mind and body, then we attain to thesupreme nature of the spirit. That is the supreme status of thesoul, para gatih, that is the divine being and nature, madbhava,

and whoever arrives at spiritual knowledge rises to that supremeimmortality of the Eternal. – (26)

¶¶¶¶

To those who demand from him, God gives what theydemand, but to those who give themselves and demand nothing,he gives everything that they might otherwise have asked orneeded and in addition he gives himself and the spontaneousboons of his love.

– Sri Aurobindo, The Yoga and its objects.

With patience and perseverance all prayers get fulfilled.– The Mother

The soul when it throws itself out into active Nature isGita’s Kshara, its mobile or mutable Purusha; the same soulgathered back into pure silent self and essential spirit is theGita’s Akshara, immobile or immutable Purusha.

1- The soul's salvation cannot come without the soul'sperfection, without its growing into the divine nature. Therefore,says the Gita, this is the supreme knowledge and the highest ofall knowings because it leads to the highest perfection and spiritualstatus, paramsiddhim, and brings the soul to likeness with theDivine, sadharmya. It is the eternal wisdom, the great spiritualexperience by which all the sages attained to that highestperfection. - (1)

6 - The Gita applies this generalised analysis of the universalEnergy to the psychological nature of man in relation to hisbondage to Prakriti and the realisation of spiritual freedom.Sattwa, it tells us, is by the purity of its quality a cause of lightand illumination and by virtue of that purity it produces no diseaseor morbidity or suffering in the nature. - (5)

7 - Rajas, again, the Gita tells us, has for its essenceattraction of liking and longing. Rajas is a child of the attachmentof the soul to the desire of objects; it is born from the nature'sthirst for an unpossessed satisfaction. It is therefore full of unrestand fever and lust and greed and excitement, a thing of seekingimpulsions, and all this mounts in us when the middle gunaincreases. - (6)

which obscures knowledge and causes all confusion and delusion.Tamas brings incapacity and negligence of action as well as theincapacity and negligence of error, inattention andmisunderstanding or non-understanding; indolence, languor andsleep belong to this guna. - (7)

9 - Sattwa, it (Gita) says, attaches to happiness, rajasattaches to action, tamas covers up the knowledge and attachesto negligence of error and inaction. Or again, "sattwa binds byattachment to knowledge and happiness, rajas binds the embodiedspirit by attachment to works, tamas binds by negligence andindolence and sleep." In other words, the soul by attachment tothe enjoyment of the gunas and their results concentrates itsconsciousness on the lower and outward action of life, mind andbody in Nature, imprisons itself in the form of these things andbecomes oblivious of its own greater consciousness behind inspirit, unaware of the free power and scope of the liberatingPurusha. Evidently, in order to be liberated and perfect we mustget back from these things, away from the gunas and abovethem and return to the power of that spiritual consciousnessabove Nature. - (8)

10– In every natural existence here on earth the threegunas are there in their inextricable working and it is even saidthat all action of man or creature or force is merely the actionof these modes (gunas) upon each other, a functioning in whichone or the other predominates. To act is to be subject to threequalities of Nature. But the liberated Yogin is delivered from theguna reactions and whatever he does, however he lives, movesand acts in God, in the power of his freedom and immortality,in the law of the supreme, eternal Infinite, sarvatha vartamano’pisa yogi mayi vartate, –(6/31)

What moves the world is not really the modes of Prakriti,– these are only the lower aspect, the mechanism of our normalnature. The real motive power is a divine spiritual Will whichuses these inferior conditions, but is itself not dominated, as isthe human will, by the gunas. For everything in the lower normalnature is derived from the higher spiritual power of being of thepurushottama, mattah pravartate. (Deva and Asura, Essays onthe Gita).

22-25 – The sign, says Krishna, is that equality of which Ihave so constantly spoken; the sign is that inwardly he regards

happiness and suffering alike, gold and mud and stone as ofequal value and that to him the pleasant and the unpleasant,praise and blame, honour and insult, the faction of his friendsand the faction of his enemies are equal things. He is steadfastin a wise imperturbable and immutable inner calm and quietude.He initiates no action [¸¬ı«±1y ¬Ûø1Ó¬…±·œ], but leaves all works tobe done by the gunas of Nature. Sattwa, rajas or tamas mayrise or cease in his outer mentality and his physical movementswith their results of enlightment, of impulsion to works or ofinaction and the clouding over of the mental and nervous being[õ∂fl¡±˙˜ƒ, õ∂¬ı‘øM√√˜ƒ, Œ˜±˝√√˜ƒ], but he does not rejoice when this comesor that ceases, nor on the other hand does he abhor or shrinkfrom the operation or the cessation of these things [øÚ¬ı‘M√√±øÚ Úfl¡±„∏é¬øÓ¬]. He has seated himself in the conscious light of anotherprinciple than the nature of the gunas and that greater con-sciousness remains steadfast [Ú ø¬ı‰¬±˘…ÀÓ¬] in him [¶§¶ö– ñ ’±R¶ö],above these powers and unshaken by their motions like the sunabove the clouds to one who has risen into a higher atmosphere.He from that height sees that it is the gunas that are in processof action and that their storm and calm are not himself but onlya movement of Prakriti; his self is immovable [Ú ˝◊√√eÀÓ¬] aboveand his spirit does not participate in that shifting mutability ofthings unstable. This is the Impersonality of the Brahmic status;for that higher principle, that greater wide highseatedconsciousness, kutastha, is the immutable Brahman [’é¬1 ¬ıËp¡].

26-27 But still there is evidently here a double status, thereis the scission (division) of the being between two opposites; aliberated spirit in the immutable Self or Brahman watches theaction of an unliberated mutable Nature, – Akshara and Kshara.Is there no greater status, no principle of more absoluteperfection? There is, it would seem, something else; for the Gita

&ÌS ˛ø¬ıˆ¬±·√-Œ˚±··œÓ¬±

says, "He also who loves and strives after Me with an undeviatinglove and adoration [’¬ı…øˆ¬‰¬±À1Ì ˆ¬øMê√À˚±À·Ú Œ¸¬ıÀÓ¬, 14˚26], passesbeyond the three gunas and he too is prepared for becoming theBrahman" [&̱ڃ ¸˜øÓ¬Ó¬… ¬ıËp¡ˆ”¬˚˛±˚˛ fl¡äÀÓ¬].

There isa status then which is greater than the peace of the Akshara asit watches unmoved the strife of the gunas. There is a highestspiritual experience and foundation above the immutability of theBrahman, there is an eternal dharma greater than the rajasicimpulsion to works, pravritti, there is an absolute delight whichis untouched by rajasic suffering and beyond the sattwichappiness, and these things are found and possessed by dwellingin the being and power of the Purushottama. - (14)

27– That spiritual joy is no longer the sattwic happiness,sukham, but the absolute Ananda. Ananda is the secret delightfrom which all things are born, by which all is sustained inexistence and to which all can rise in the spiritual culmination.(The gunas, mind and works, Essays on the Gita)

To be immortal is something different from this survival ofdeath and this constant recurrence. Immortality is that supremestatus in which the Spirit (Soul) knows itself to be superior todeath and birth, – immortal, because never being born it neverdies. Liberation, immortality is to live in this unchangeablyconscious eternal being of the Purushottama. But to arrive herethe embodied soul must cease to live according to the law of thelower nature; it must put on the law of the Divine’s supremeway of existence, it must grow into the likeness of the Divine.Nowhere in the Gita is there any indication that dissolution ofthe individual spiritual being (soul) into the unmanifest, indefinableor absolute Brahman is the true meaning or condition ofimmortality or the true aim of Yoga. –(14A)

Gunatraya bibhaga Yoga.From Essays on the Gita, Sri Aurobindo.

¶¶¶¶

Man, still a child in Nature’s mighty hands,He knows not what he shall achieve or when;He is ignorant of the meaning of his life,He is ignorant of his high and splendid fate.The truth-light capture Nature by surprise,A stealth of God compel the heart to bliss

Page 169: Bhagavad Gita

And earth grow unexpectedly divine.In matter shall be lit the spirit’s glow,In body and body kindled the sacred birth;Night shall awake to the anthem of the stars,The days become a happy pilgrim march,Our will a force of the Eternal’s power,And thought the rays of a spiritual sun.

– Savitri, Sri Aurobindo

Integral Yoga of Sri AurobindoSri Aurobindo has added one more step to the knowledge

of Yoga. The new knowledge is physical transformation,transformation of human body to divine body. This lower tripleworld of mind life and body is a result of involution of higherdivine Nature (para prakriti) to lower nature (apara prakriti). Soby reverse process of evolution our lower nature can betransformed into Divine Nature. Gits’s knowledge is upto soul’sliberation, but integral yoga seeks to liberate soul, mind, life andbody from the bondage of ignorance. In other words man canbecome divine completely. To achieve this what is needed isaspiration in the heart and complete surrender to God.

1–6– A description of cosmic existence in Vedantic imageof the aswattha tree.

This tree of cosmic existence has no beginning and no end,in space or in time; for it is eternal and imperishable. It is aninfinite movement and its foundation is above in the supreme ofthe Infinite. Its principle is the ancient sempiternal urge to actionwhich for ever proceeds without beginning or end from theoriginal Soul of all existence. Therefore its original source isabove beyond Time in the Eternal, but its branches stretch downbelow and it extends and plunges its other roots, well-fixed andclinging roots of attachment and desire with their consequencesof more and more desire and an endlessly developing action,plunges them downward here into the world of men. The hymnsof the Veda are compared to its leaves and the man who knowsthis tree of the cosmos is the Veda-Knower. For the knowledgethe Veda gives us is a knowledge of the gods, of the principlesand powers of the cosmos, and its fruits are fruits of a sacrificewhich is offered with desire, fruits of enjoyment and lordship inearth and heaven and the world between earth and heaven. Thebranches of this cosmic tree extend both below and above,below in the material, above in the supraphysical planes; theygrow by the gunas of Nature, for the triple guna is all the subjectof the Vedas. The Vedic rhythms, chandamsi, are the leaves andthe sensible object of desire gained by a right doing of sacrificeare the constant budding of the foliage. Man, therefore, so longas he enjoys the play of the gunas and is attached to desire, isheld in the coils of Pravritti, in the movement of birth and action,turns about constantly between the earth and the middle planesand the heavens and is unable to get back to his supreme spiritualinfinitudes. To achieve liberation, it is necessary to cut theselong-fixed roots of desire by the strong sword of detachmentand then to seek for that highest goal whence, once havingreached it, there is no compulsion of return to mortal life. To befree from the bewilderment of this lower Maya, without egoism,

the great fault of attachment conquered, all desires stilled, theduality of joy and grief cast away, always to be fixed in a purespiritual consciousness, these are the steps of the way to thatsupreme Infinite. There we find the timeless being which is notillumined by sun or moon or fire, but is itself the light of thepresence of the eternal Purusha. I turn away, says the Vedanticverse, to seek that original Soul-the highest status of thePurushottama.– (1)

7 - "It is an eternal portion of Me that becomes the Jiva inthe world of Jivas." This is an epithet, a statement of immensebearing and consequence. For it means that each soul, eachbeing in its spiritual reality is the very Divine, however partial itsactual manifestation of him in Nature. And it means too thateach manifesting spirit, each of the many, is an eternal individual,an eternal unborn undying power of the one Existence [õ∂ÀÓ¬…fl¡Ê√œª ¬ı± Ê√œª±R±1 øÚÊ√± øÚÊ√± ¬ı…øMê√Q ’±ÀÂ√º]. We call this manifestingspirit the Jiva, because it appears here as if a living creature ina world of living creatures, and we speak of this spirit in manas the human soul and think of it in the terms of humanity only.But in truth it is something greater than its present appearanceand not bound to its humanity: it was a lesser manifestation thanthe human in its past [Œ¬Û±fl¡ ¬Û1n∏ª±1 ’±R± fl¡˜ ά◊ißÓ¬], it can becomesomething much greater than mental man in its future. Andwhen this soul rises above all ignorant limitation, then it puts onits divine nature [attains divine nature] of which its humanity

[the human nature] is only a temporary veil. The individual spiritexists and ever existed beyond in the Eternal, for it is itselfeverlasting, sanatana. It is this idea of the eternal individualwhich leads the Gita to avoid any expression of a completedissolution, laya, and to speak rather of the highest state of thesoul as a dwelling in the Purushottama, nivasisyasi mayyeva(12/8).

The eternal individual (Jiva, Jivatma) is not other than or inany way really separate from the Divine Purusha [˜˜ ¤¬ı ’—˙–¸Ú±Ó¬Ú]. It is the Lord himself, the Ishwara. - (2)

11, 12– Man, to know himself, must be Kritatma, formedand complete in the spiritual mould, enlightened in the spiritualvision. The Yogins who have this eye of knowledge, see theDivine Being we are in their own endless reality, their owneternity of spirit. But they see him too not only in themselves,but in all the cosmos. In the light of the sun that illumines all thisworld they witness the light of the Godhead which is in us; thelight of the moon and in fire is the light of the Divine. –(5)

16, 17 – There is a spirit here at work in the world that isone in innumerable appearances. It is the developer of birth andaction, the moving power of life. It is itself Time and Space and

Circumstance. It is this multitude of souls in the worlds; it is thegods and men and creatures and things and forces and qualitiesand quantities and powers and presences. It is Nature, which ispower of the spirit, and objects, which are its phenomena ofname and idea and form, and existence, who are portions andbirths and becomings of the One, the Eternal. But what we seeat work before us is not this Eternal and his conscious Shakti,but a Nature which is ignorant of the spirit within her action.The inherent Power in her hidden in its truth, manifest in itsappearances, it is the Kshara, the universal Soul, the spirit in themutability of cosmic phenomenon and becoming, one with theImmutable and the Supreme. We have to discover the Spiritbehind these veils and to see all as the One, Vasudeva itisarvam, individual, universal, transcendent.

There is another Spirit of whom we become aware andwho is none of these things but self and self only. This spirit iseternal, always the same, the one, the stable, a self-existenceundivided and not divided by the division of things and powersin Nature, inactive in her action, immobile in her motion. It is theSelf of all and yet unmoved, indifferent, intangible. This spirit istimeless, though we see it in Time; it is unextended in space,though we see it as if pervading space. This is the Akshara, theimmutable in the mutable, the immobile in the mobile, theimperishable in things perishable.

The Kshara spirit visible to us as all natural existencemoves and acts pervadingly in the immobile and eternal Akshara.This mobile Power of Self acts in that fundamental stability ofSelf, as the second principle of material Nature, Vayu, with itscontractual force of aggregation and separation, attraction andrepulsion, supporting the formative force of the fiery (radiant,gaseous and electric) and other elemental movements, rangespervadingly in the subtly massive stability of ether. This Akshara

¬Û≈1n∏À ∏±M√√ √-Œ˚±··œÓ¬±

[276][275]

Page 174: Bhagavad Gita

is the self higher than the buddhi, the liberating intelligence,through which man returning beyond his restless mobile mentalto his calm eternal spiritual self is at last free from thepersistence of birth and the long chain of action, of Karma (8/15).

These two then are the two spirits we see in the world; oneemerges in the front of action, the other remains behind itsteadfast in that perpetual silence from which the action comesand in which all actions cease and disappear [Œ¡Zà ˝◊√√À˜Ã ¬Û≈1n∏À¯∏Ã,15˚16].

The Kshara acts or at least motives action; Akshara standsapart. Akshara is the one self of all these many souls, and it istherefore evident that these two spirits are a dual status of oneeternal and universal existence. Isha tells us that Brahman isboth the mobile and the immobile, is the One and the Many, isthe Self and all existence. It too insists like the Gita that manmust know and must embrace both and learn of the Supreme inhis eternity – samagram mam (7/1), as the Gita puts it – inorder to enjoy immortality and live in the eternal.

The world for the Gita is real, a creation of the Lord, apower of the Eternal, and even this lower nature of the tripleMaya is a derivation from the supreme divine Nature.

Akshara is para, supreme in relation to the elements andaction of cosmic Nature. It is the immutable Self of all, and theimmutable Self of all is Purushottama. The Akshara is he in thefreedom of his self-existence unaffected by the action of hisown power in Nature, undisturbed by the play of his own qualities.But this is only one aspect. The Purushottama is at the sametime greater than the Akshara, because he is more than thisimmutability and he is not limited even by the highest eternalstatus of his being, param dhama. When pursued through theAkshara alone, this attempt at liberation becomes the seeking of

the Indefinable, a thing hard for our nature embodied as we arehere in Matter (12/5). The highest unmanifest Akshara is stillthe Purushottama. But yet is he more even than a highestunmanifest Akshara, because he is to be known also as thesupreme Purusha who extends this whole universe in his ownexistence. He is the Lord in the Kshara, Purushottama not onlythere, but here in the heart of every creature, Ishwara. ThePurushottama is the cosmic spirit in Time. He is both Aksharaand Kshara. - (9)

18– Thus the Divine is manifest in a double soul of hismystery, a twofold power, dvav imau purusau, (15/16), he supportsat once the spirit of mutable things that all these existences,ksarah sarvani bhutani, (15/16) and the immutable spirit thatstands above them in his imperturbable immobility of eternalsilence and calm. And it is by the force of the Divine in themthat the mind and heart and will of man are so powerfully drawnin different directions by these two spirits as if by opposing andincompatible attractions one insistent to annual the other.

But the Divine is neither wholly the Kshara, not wholly theAkshara. He is greater than the immutable Self and he is muchgreater than the Soul of mutable things. If he is capable of beingboth at once, it is because he is other than they, anyah, thePurushottama above all cosmos and yet extended in the worldand extended in the Veda, in self-knowledge and in cosmicexperience. – (10)

Need of Inner Meditation

Do not fall into the very common error of believing that youmust sit in an absolutely quiet corner where nobody passes by,where you are in a classical position and altogether immobile, inorder to be able to meditate– it is not true. What is needed isto succeed in meditating in all circumstances, and I call"meditating" not emptying your head but concentrating yourselfin a contemplation of the Divine; and if you keep thiscontemplation within you, all that you do will change its quality.And life will change its quality, and you will feel a little differentfrom what you were, with peace, a certitude, an inner calm, anunchanging force, something which never gives way.

You may be engaged in the most active action, for example,in playing basketball, and yet not lose the attitude of innermeditation and concentration upon the Divine.– The MotherAIM Aug-Sept 83

But its gentleness and self-denial and self-control arefree too from all weakness: it has energy and soul-force, strongresolution, the fearlessness of the soul that lives in the right andaccording to the truth as well as its harmlessness, tejah,abhayam, dhritih, ahimsa, satyam. The whole being, the wholetemperament is integrally pure; there is a seeking for knowledgeand a calm and fixed abiding in knowledge. This is the wealth,the plenitude of the man born into the Deva nature. - (1)

23, 24 – To follow the law of desire is not the true rule ofour nature; there is a higher and juster standard of its works.The human race has always been seeking for this just and highLaw and whatever it has discovered is embodied in its Shastra,its rule of science and knowledge. Shastra does not mean amass of customs. Shastra is the knowledge and teaching laiddown by intuition, experience and wisdom, the best standardavailable for the race. The Shastra, the recognised Right that hehas set up to govern his lower members by his reason andintelligent will, must therefore first be observed and made theauthority for conduct of works and for what should or should notbe done, till the instinctive desire nature is schooled and abatedand put down by the habit of self-control and man is ready firstfor a freer intelligent self-guidance and then for the highestsupreme law and supreme liberty of the spiritual nature.

¶¶¶¶

The Absolute, the Perfect, the AloneHas called out of the Silence his mute ForceWhere she lay in the featureless and formless hushGuarding from Time by her immobile sleepThe ineffable puissance of his solitude.The Absolute, the Perfect, the AloneHas entered with his silence into space :He has fashioned these countless persons of one self;He lives in all, who lived in his Vast alone;Space is himself and Time is only he.The Absolute, the Perfect, the Immune,One who is in us as our secret self,Our mask of imperfection has assumed,That to his divine measure we might rise;Then in a figure of divinityThe Maker shall recast us and imposeA plan of godhead on the mortal’s mouldLifting our finite minds to his infinite,Touching the moment with eternity.This transfiguration is earth’s due to heaven :A mutual debt binds man to the Supreme :His nature we must put on as he puts ours;We are sons of God and must be even as he :His human portion, we must grow divine.Our life is a paradox with God for key. – Savitri, Sri Aurobindo

1- The action controlled by Shastra is an outcome of thesattwic element in man. Mankind must first proceed through itand make Shastra its law of action rather than obey the impulsionof desires. Assent of the being, its conscious acceptance andwill to believe and realise, may be called by the name whichGita gives to it, his faith, sraddha. And even if the Shastra isstill a living thing and best rule for the human average, theexceptional man, spiritual, inwardly developed, is not bound bythat standard. He is called upon to go beyond the fixed line ofthe Shastra. He has to learn to live in the liberty of the Spirit.(1)

3 - The faith of each man takes the shape, hue, qualitygiven to it by his stuff of being, his constituting temperament, hisinnate power of existence, sattvanurupa sarvasya sraddha.Gita tells us this Purusha, this soul in man, is, as it were, madeof sraddha, a faith, a will to be, a belief in itself and existenceand whatever is that will, faith or belief, he is that and that ishe, sraddhamayo’yam puruso yo yac-chraddha sa eva sah.

Our endeavour is to become the Divine, to be as He,madbhava. That also depends on sraddha. It is by an act ofour conscious substance and a belief in its truth, an inmost willto live it or be it that we come by it. And again when we tryto be, to live and to do according to the divine nature, then toowe must proceed by a persistent act of sraddha, which accordingto the Gita the faith of the sattwic nature. But all or any of thesethings implies some kinesis [dynamic action], ordinarily both aninner and an outer action. (3)

8 - Our food, the Gita tells us, is either sattwic, rajasic ortamasic according to its character and effect on the body. Thesattwic temperament in the mental and physical body turnsnaturally to the things that increase the life, increase the innerand outer strength, nourish at once the mental, vital and physicalforce and increase the pleasure and satisfaction and happycondition of mind and life and body, all that is succulent and softand firm and satisfying.

The Gita states three main elements of the work we haveto do, kartavyam karma, and these three are sacrifice [˚:],giving [√±Ú] and askesis [Ó¬¬Û¸…±]. In other words these actsconstitute the means of our perfection. For all dynamic action,all kinesis of the nature involves tapasya or askesis, and energismand concentration of our forces or capacities or of some capacitywhich helps us to achieve, to acquire or to become something,tapas. All action involves a giving of what we are or have, anexpenditure which is the price of that achievement, acquisitionor becoming, dana. All action involves too a sacrifice toelemental [lower] or to universal powers or to the supremeMaster of our works.

13 - The Tamasic sacrifice is work done without faith,without, that is to say, any full conscious idea and acceptanceand will towards the thing Nature yet compels us to execute. It

|X±S ˛ø¬ıˆ¬±·-Œ˚±··œÓ¬±

[294][293]

Page 183: Bhagavad Gita

is done mechanically, because the act of living demands it,because it comes in our way, because others do it, to avoidsome other greater difficulty which may arise from not doing it,or from any other tamasic motive. And it is apt to be donecarelessly, perfunctorily, in the wrong way. It will not beperformed by the vidhi or the right rule of the Shastra. Therewill be no giving of food in the sacrifice, – and that act in theIndian ritual is symbolic of the elements of helpful giving inherentin every action that is real sacrifice, the indispensable giving toothers, the fruitful help to others, to the world, without which ouraction becomes a wholly self-regarding thing and a violation ofthe true universal law of solidarity and interchange. The workwill be done without dakshina, the much needed giving or self-giving to the leaders of the sacrificial action. It will be donewithout the mantra, without the dedicating thought which is thesacred body of our will and knowledge lifted upwards to thegodheads we serve by our sacrifice. The tamasic man does notoffer his sacrifice to the gods, but to inferior elemental powerswho feed upon his works.

12- The rajasic man offers his sacrifice to lower godheadsor to perverse powers, the Yakshas, the keepers of wealth or tothe Asuric and Rakshasic forces. His sacrifice may be performedoutwardly according to the Shastra, but its motive is ostentation,pride or a strong lust after the fruit of his action, a vehementdemand for the reward of his works. All work therefore thatproceeds from violent or egoistic personal desire or from anarrogant will is of the rajasic nature, even if it be done outwardlyas a sacrifice. Although it is ostensibly given to God or to thegods, it remains essentially an Asuric action. It is the inner state,motive and direction which give their value to our works.Wherever there is a dominating egoism in our acts, there ourworks becomes a rajasic sacrifice.

11 - The true sattwic sacrifice, on the other hand, is distin-guished by three signs. First it is dictated by the effective truth,executed according to the vidhi, the right principle, the exactmethod and rule, the just rhythm and law of our works. Secondly,it is executed with a mind concentrated and fixed on the idea ofthe thing to be done as a true sacrifice imposed on us by thedivine law that governs our life and therefore performed out ofa high inner obligation and without desire for personal fruit, – themore impersonal the motive of the action, the more sattwic is itsnature. And finally it is offered to the gods without anyreservation; it is acceptable to the divine powers by whom – forthey are his masks and personalities – the Master of existencegoverns the universe.

This sattwic sacrifice comes then very near to the ideal andleads directly towards the kind of action demanded by the Gita.The culmination of the sattwic action at which we have to arriveis of a still larger and freer kind; it is the high last sacrificeoffered by us to the supreme Divine in his integral being andwith a seeking for the Purushottama or with the vision ofVasudeva in all that is, the action done impersonally, universally,for the good of the world, for the fulfilment of the divine will inthe universe. That culmination leads to its own transcending, tothe immortal Dharma. There is no personal action, for all actionsare given up to the Master of our works and it is he that doesthe action through the divinised Prakriti. (7)

It is of the character of self-discipline andasks for self-control and a harmonising of one’s nature.

20 - The sattwic way of giving is to bestow with rightreason and good will and sympathy in the right conditions oftime and place and on the right recipient who is worthy or towhom the gift can be really helpful. Its act is performed for thesake of the giving and the beneficence, without any view to abenefit already done or yet to be done to oneself by the receiverof the benefit. The culmination of the sattwic way of dana willbring into the action an increasing element of that wide self-giving to others and to the world and to God, atma-dana, atma-samarpana. (14)

23, 24 – The formula OM, Tat, Sat, is, it (Gita) says, thetriple definition of the Brahman, by whom the Brahmanas, theVedas and sacrifices were created of old and in it resides alltheir significance. Tat, That, indicates the Absolute. Sat indicatesthe supreme and universal existence in its principle. OM is thesymbol of the triple Brahman, the outward looking and the inwardor subtle and the superconscient casual Purusha. Each letter A,U, M indicates one of these three in ascending order and thesyllable as a whole brings out the fourth state, Turiya, whichrises to the Absolute. OM is the initiating syllable pronounced atthe outset as a benedictory prelude and sanction to all act ofsacrifice, all act of giving and all act of askesis. (17)

Page 187: Bhagavad Gita

The double soul in manThere is a double soul or psychic term in us, as every other

cosmic principle in us is also double. For we have two minds,one the surface mind of our expressed evolutionary ego, anothera subliminal mind which is not hampered by our actual mentallife and its strict limitations, something large, powerful andluminous, the true mental being behind that superficial form ofmental personality which we mistake for ourselves. So also wehave two lives, one outer, involved in the physical body, boundby its past evolution in Matter, the other a subliminal force oflife, our true vital being behind the form of living. Even in thematter of our being there is this duality; for behind our body wehave a subtler material existence which provides the substancenot only of our physical but of our vital and mental sheaths andis therefore our real substance supporting this physical form. Sotoo we have a double psychic entity in us, the surface desiresoul which works in our vital cravings, our emotions and mentalseeking for power, knowledge and happiness, and a subliminalpsychic entity, a pure power of light, love, joy and refined essenceof being which is our true soul behind the outer form of psychicexistence we so often dignify by the name.

Divine LifeTo transcend, to exceed consciousnes of body, not to be

held in the body or by the body, to hold the body only as aninstrument, a minor outward formation of self, is a first conditionof divine living.

flight to the monastery, the cave or the hill-top. The real Tyagais action with a renunciation of desire and that too is the realSannyasa.

Not the renunciation of work in the world, not any outwardasceticism or any ostentation (outer show) of a visible giving upof enjoyment; but a renunciation, a leaving, tyaga, of vital desireand ego, a total laying aside, sannyasa, of the separate personallife of the desire-soul and ego-governed mind and rajasic vitalnature. That is the true condition of entering into heights of Yogawhether through the impersonal self and Brahmic oneness orthrough universal Vasudeva or inwardly into the supremePurushottama [˜±Ú≈À˝√√ Œ˚±·√1 ¡Z±1± ÷ù´11 ˘·Ó¬ øÓ¬øÚ õ∂fl¡±À1 ¸—À˚±· ¶ö±¬ÛÚfl¡ø1¬ı ¬Û±À1º Impersonal self ¬ı± ’é¬1 ¬ıËp¡1 ˘·Ó¬, ¬ı±¸≈À√ª ¬ı± dynamicuniversal divine-1 ˘·Ó¬ ’±1n∏ ’±˜±1 Œ√˝√√Ó¬ Ôfl¡± ¬Û≈1n∏À¯∏±M√√˜1 ˘·Ó¬º].

3- The question still arises what works are to be done?Some would have it that all works must be excised from our life,as if that were possible. But it is not possible so long as we arein the body and alive; nor can salvation consist in reducing ouractive selves by trance to the lifeless immobility of the clod andthe pebble. The silence of Samadhi does not abrogate the difficulty,for as soon as the breath comes again into the body, we areonce more in action and have toppled down from the heights ofthis salvation by spiritual slumber. But the true salvation, therelease by an inner renunciation of the ego and union with the

Purushottama remains steady in whatever state, persists in thisworld or out of it or in whatever world or out of all world, isself-existent, sarvatha vartamano’pi, and does not depend uponinaction or action. What then are the actions to be done?

The thorough-going ascetic answer might be that solelybegging, eating and meditation are to be permitted amongvoluntary activities and otherwise only the necessary actions ofthe body. But more liberal and comprehensive solution wasevidently to continue the three most sattwic activities, sacrifice,giving and askesis [˚:, √±Ú, Ó¬¬Û¸…±]º And these certainly are tobe done, says the Gita, for they purify the wise (18/5).

7 - Understanding these three things [sacrifice, giving andaskesis] in their widest sense, it is the rightly regulated action,niyatam karma, that has to be done, action regulated by theShastra, the science and art of right knowledge, right works,right living or regulated by the essential nature, svabhava niyatamkarma (18/47), or, finally and best of all, regulated by the willof the Divine within and above us. The last is the true and onlyaction of the liberated man, muktasya karma. To renouncethese works is not a right movement – the Gita lays downplainly and trenchantly in the end, niyatasya tu sannyasahkarmano nopapadyate. To renounce them from an ignorantconfidence is a tamasic renunciation. A renunciation withattachment to inaction, sango akarmani (2/47), would be equallya tamasic withdrawal. (3)

9 - The sattwic principle of renunciation is to withdraw notfrom action, but from the personal demand, the ego factor behindit. It is to do works not dictated by desire but by the law of rightliving or by the essential nature, its knowledge, its ideal, its faithin itself and the Truth it sees, its sraddha. Or else, on a higherplane, they are dictated by the will of the Master and done withmind in Yoga [Œ˚±·˚≈Mê√], without any personal attachment eitherto the action or to the fruit of the action. (5)

10 - There must be no attachment to pleasant, desirable,lucrative or successful work and no doing of it because it hasthat nature; but that kind of work too has to be done, – donetotally, selflessly, with the assent of the spirit, – when it is theaction demanded from above and from within us, kartvyamkarma. There must be no aversion to unpleasant, undesirable orungratifying action or work that brings or likely to bring with itsuffering, danger, harsh conditions, inauspicius consequences;for that too has to be accepted, totally, selflessly, with a deepunderstanding of its need and meaning, when it is the work thatshould be done, kartavyam karma.

12 - The three kinds of result, pleasant, unpleasant andmixed in this or other worlds, in this or another life are for theslaves of desire and ego; these things donot cling to the freespirit. The liberated worker who has given up his works by theinner sannyasa to a greater Power is free from Karma. Theessence of renunciation, the true Tyaga, the true Sannyasa, isnot any rule of thumb of inaction but a disinterested soul, aselfless mind, the transition from ego to the free impersonal andspiritual nature. The spirit of this inner renunciation is the firstmental condition of the highest culminating sattwic discipline. (7)

16, 17 - The doer is ordinarily supposed to be our surfacepersonal ego, but that is the false idea of the understanding. Theego is the ostensible doer, but the ego and its will are creationsand instruments of Nature. When we are liberated from ego,our real self behind comes forward, impersonal and universal,and it sees in its self-vision of unity with the universal Spirituniversal Nature as the doer of the work and the Divine Willbehind as the master of universal Nature. The work may beoutwardly a terrible action like this great battle and slaughter ofKurukshetra; but although the liberated man takes his part in thestruggle and though he slay all these peoples, he slays no manand he is not bound by his work, because the work is that of theMaster of the Worlds.

18 - There are three things, says the Gita, which go toconstitute the mental impulsion [Œõ∂1̱], to works, and they areknowledge [:±Ú] in our will, the object of knowledge [Œ:˚˛] andthe knower [:±Ó¬±], and into the knowledge there comes alwaysthe working of the three gunas.

There are again three things – the doer [fl¡Ó«¬±], the instrument[fl¡1Ì] and the work done [fl¡˜«], that hold the action together andmake it possible [fl¡˜«¸—¢∂˝√√, fl¡˜«1 ’±|˚˛]º The sattwic mind thatseeks always for a right harmony and right knowledge is thegoverning instrument of the sattwic man. An egoistic will ofdesire supported by the desire-soul is the dominant instrument ofthe rajasic worker. An ignorant instinct or the unenlightenedimpulsion of the physical mind and crude vital nature is the chiefinstrumental force of the tamasic doer of action. (11)

He is obstinate in stupidity, stubborn in error and takesa foolish pride in ignorant doing; a narrow and evasive cunningreplaces true intelligence; he has a stupid and insolent contemptfor wiser men and betters [∆Ú©‘®øÓ¬fl¡–]º A dull laziness [’˘¸–],slowness, procrastination [√œ‚«¸”SÓ¬±, fl¡±˜ Œ¬Û˘±˝◊√√ ŒÔ±ª± ¶§ˆ¬±¬ı],looseness, want of vigour [ά◊√…˜˝√√œÚÓ¬±] or of sincerity [øÚᬱ˝√√œÚÓ¬±]mark his action.

Rajas with its vehement hold on the vital ego is thegreat sinner and positive misleader. (22)

33 - The persistence of the will (dhriti) is that continuousforce of mental Nature which sustains the work and gives it

consistence and persistence. The culmination of this sattwicintelligence [¸±øM√√fl¡œ ¬ı≈øX] is found by a high persistence [Ò‘øÓ¬, ¤fl¡±¢∂Ó¬±]of the aspiring buddhi when it is settled on what is beyond theordinary reason and mental will, turned to a steady control of thesenses and the life and a union by Yoga with man's highest Self,the universal Divine, the transcendent Spirit.

36, 37 - Harmony and order are the characteristic qualitiesof the sattwic mind and temperament, quiet happiness, a clearand calm content and an ease and peace. This happiness doesnot depend on outward things, but on ourselves alone and on theflowering of what is best and most inward within us. It is to beconquered by self-discipline, a labour of the soul, a high andarduous endeavour. At first this means much suffering andstruggle, a poison born of the churning of our nature, but in theend the nectar of immortality rises in the place of this bitternessand as we climb to the higher spiritual nature we come to theend of sorrow.

38 - The mind of the rajasic man drinks of a more fiery andintoxicating cup; the keen, mobile, active pleasure of the sensesand the body and the sense-entangled or fierily kinetic will andintelligence are to him all joy of life and the very significance ofliving. The joy is nectar to the lips at first touch [’À¢∂ ’ ‘ÀÓ¬±¬Û˜ ƒ],but there is a secret poison in the bottom of the cup [¬Ûø1̱À˜ø¬ı¯∏˜ƒ] and after it the bitterness of disappointment, satiety, fatigue,

How, while absorabed and continually forced outward bythe engrossing call to its active nature, is it to get back to its realself and spiritual existence? (While doing works, how can wekeep our consciousness fixed in our soul?) It must first separatesilent self from active nature. It must arrive at an inner inactivity,naiskarmya. It is therefore this saving inner passivity that theGita puts here as the first object of its Yoga, the first necessaryperfection in it or Siddhi. One must become an understandingunattached in all things, asakta-buddhih sarvatra. Then alldesire passes away from the soul in its silence; it is free fromall longings, vigata-sprihah. That brings with it or it makespossible the subjection of own lower and possession of ourhigher self and conquest over our mobile nature, jitatma. Andall this amounts to an absolute inner renunciation of the desireof things, sannyasa. (38)

51,52, 53 - How then is this to be done? First, says the Gita,through a union of our purified intelligence with the pure spiritualsubstance in us by the yoga of the buddhi, buddhya visuddhaya.This spiritual turning of the buddhi from the outward anddownward to the inward and upward look is the essence of theYoga of knowledge. The purified understanding has to controlthe whole being, atmanam niyamya; it must draw us away fromattachment to the outward going desires of the lower nature bya firm and a steady will, dhritya. The senses must abandontheir objects [˙s± √œÚ ø¬ı¯∏˚˛±Úƒ Ó¬…M3ê√±], the mind must cast away the

liking and disliking [1±· Œ¡ZÀ¯∏à ¬ı≈…√¸…]º An entire control has to beacquired over the mind, speech and body [˚Ó¬ ¬ı±flƒ¡ fl¡±˚˛ ˜±Ú¸–],over even the vital and-physical reactions, hunger and cold andheat and physical pleasure and pain; the whole of our beingmust become indifferent, unaffected by these things, equal to alloutward touches and to their inward reactions and responses.This is the most direct and powerful method, the straight andsharp way of Yoga. There has to be a complete cessation ofdesire and attachment, vairagya; a strong resort to impersonalsolitude [ø¬ıø¬ıMê√À¸¬ıœ inner solitude), a constant union with theinmost self by meditation [øÚÓ¬…— Ò…±ÚÀ˚±· ¬Û1–] is demanded of theseeker. And yet the object of this austere discipline is not to beself-centred in some supreme egoistic seclusion and tranquillityof the sage and averse to the trouble of participation in theworld-action [¤˝◊√√ Ó¬¬Û¸…±Ó¬ ˚≈Mê√ Œ˝√√±ª±Ê√ÀÚ ’±RÀfl¡fœfl¡ˆ¬±Àª ¸˜±Ê√1 ¬Û1±”√1Õ˘ ˚±¬ı Ú±˘±À· ¬ı± ¸˜±Ê√1 õ∂øÓ¬ Ôfl¡± fl¡Ó«¬¬ı…1 õ∂øÓ¬ ’±›fl¡±Ì fl¡ø1¬ı Ú±˘±À·] ,the object is to get rid of ego. One must put away utterly firstthe rajasic kind of egoism, egoistic strength and violence,arrogance, desire, wrath, the sense and instinct of possession,the urge of the passions, the strong lusts of life [’˝√√DZ1—, ¬ı˘—, √¬Û«—fl¡±˜— ŒSê±Ò—, ¬Ûø1¢∂˝√√˜ƒ ø¬ı˜≈‰¬…]º The aim is to make the soul and mindand life free in the end from all imprisoning I-ness and my-ness,nirmama. The extinction of ego and its demands of all sorts isthe method put before us. For the pure impersonal self which,unshaken, supports the universe has no egoism and makes nodemand on thing or person; it is calm and luminously impassiveand silently regards all things and persons with an equal andimpartial eye. Then clearly it is by living inwardly in a similar oridentical impersonality that the soul within can best become

And to get to that greatest spiritual perfection wehave indeed to be immobile in the self, silent in all our membersbut also to act in the power, Shakti, Prakriti, the true and highforce of the Spirit. In the Gita’s path of Tyaga it is preparationrather for the turning of our whole life and existence and allaction into an integral oneness with the serene and immeasurablebeing, consciousness and will of the Divine, and it preludes andmakes possible a vast and total passing upward of the soul outof the lower ego to the inexpressible perfection of the supremespiritual nature, para prakrit. –(40)

Inplace of the ego there comes forward conscious and manifestthe true spiritual individual (soul) in the freedom of his realnature, in the power of his supernal status, in the majesty andsplendour of his eternal kinship to the Divine, an imperishableportion of the supreme Godhead, an indestructible power of thesupreme Prakriti. The soul of man then feels itself to be one ina supreme spiritual impersonality with the Purushottama and inits universalised personality a manifest power of the Godhead.This knowledge comes, says the Gita, by a highest bhakti. Whenthe soul has become the Brahman, it is then that it can live inthe true Person and can attain to the supreme revealing bhaktifor the Purushottama and can come to know him utterly by thepower of its profound bhakti, its heart's knowledge, bhaktyamam abhijanati. "He comes to know Me" says the Gita "whoand how much I am and in all the reality and principles of mybeing", yavan yascasmi tattvatah. This integral knowledge isthe knowledge of the Divine present in the individual; it is theentire experience of the Lord secret in the heart of man, revealed

66 - "Abandon all dharmas and take refuge in Me alone. Iwill deliver thee from all sin and evil, donot grieve."

The Gita throughout has been insisting on a great and wellbuilt discipline of Yoga, large and clearly traced philosophicalsystem, on the Swabhava and the Swadharma, (18/41-47), onthe sattwic law of life as leading out by a self-exceeding exaltationto a free spiritual dharma of immortal existence beyond thelimitation of even this highest guna and now it seems to breakout of its own structure and says to the human soul, "Abandonall dharmas, give thyself to the Divine alone, to the supremeGodhead above and around and within thee: that is all that thouneedest, that is the truest and greatest way, that is the realdeliverance." And speaking as the Spirit and Godhead in manand in all things he (Krishna) says to him (Arjuna), "All this

personal effort and self discipline will not in the end be needed,all following and limitation of rule and dharma can at last bethrown away if thou canst make a complete surrender to Me,depend alone on the Spirit and Godhead within thee and allthings and trust to his sole guidance. Turn all thy mind to Me andfill it with the thought of Me and my presence. Turn all thy heartto Me, make thy every action, whatever it be, a sacrifice andoffering to Me. That done, leave Me to do my will with thy lifeand soul and action; do not be grieved or perplexed by mydealings with thy mind and heart and life and works or troubledbecause they do not seem to follow the laws and dharmas. Myways are the ways of a perfect wisdom and power and love.I repeat the absolute assurance, the infallible promise that I willlead thee to myself through and beyond all sorrow and evil.Whatever difficulties and perplexities arise, be sure of this thatI am leading thee to a complete divine life."

You who weep, you who suffer, you who tremble, not daring toforesee the term of your ills, the issue of your pangs, behold! Thereis no night without day break, when darkness is thickest dawn isready; there is no fog that the sun does not dissipate, no cloud thatit does not gild, no tear that it does not one day dry, no snow thatit does not melt, no winter that it does not change into radiant spring.

And for you likewise, there is no affliction which does not bringforth its counterpoise of glory, no distress that cannot be transformedinto joy, no defeat that does not turn into victory, no downfall thatdoes not change into an ascension to greater heights, no solitude thatdoes not become a very home of life, no discord that does not resolveinto harmony, there is no weakness so infinite that it cannot changeinto power.

Listen, my little child, who feel yourself so broken, so fallen, whohave nothing, nothing any more to cover your misery and nourishyour pride, yet never before have you been so great! How close is heto the summits, who awakes in the depths! If ordeal and fault haveflung you down, if you have sunk into an abysm of suffering, do notat all be grieved, for it is there that the divine affection, the supremebenediction will reach you! When you have nothing left, all will begiven to you. For those who are sincere and straight, out of the worstemerges always the best.

Verily, verily, in humiliation is found the cradle of glory. –TheMother,

The Supreme DiscoveryYouth does not depend on the fewness of years one has lived,

but on the capacity to grow and to progress. – The Mother, AIM July80

Work done in the true spirit is meditation.

To work for the Divine is to pray with the body.

Words of Sri AurobindoSadhana through Meditation

Gita speaks of rejection of all mental thought as one of themethods of yoga. This may be called the dhyana of liberation, as itfrees the mind from slavery to the mechanical process of thinkingand allows it to think or not to think, as it pleases.

Meditation is the easiest process for the human mind; con-templation (regarding mentally a single object, image or idea) moredifficult, but greater; self observation and liberation from the chainsof Thought the most difficult of all, but the widest and greatest inits fruits. The perfect method is to use them all.

What should be the object or ideas for meditation?Whatever is most consonant with your nature and highest as-

pirations. Brahman is always the best object for meditation or con-templation and the idea on which the mind should fix is that of Godin all, all in God and all as God. This is the idea I have found thebest – “All this is the Brahman.”

Once the habit of meditation is formed, it should be madepossible to do it in all circumstances, lying, sitting, walking, alone,in company, in silence or in the midst of noise.

Concentration means when the consciousness is fixed in aparticular state (e.g. peace) or movement (e.g. aspiration, will).

Ordinarily the consciousness is spread out everywhere, dis-persed. The first thing one does is to draw back all this dispersedconsciousness and concentrate. It may be on an object – a shin-ning point. It may be on an idea or word or a name, the idea of theDivine, the word ‘Om’, the name Krishna.

Further in yoga one also concentrates in a particular place.You concentrate in the head in a will, a call for the descent of thepeace above. In the heart centre one concentrates in an aspira-tion, for an opening, for the presence of the living image of the

Divine there or whatever else is the object.The power of the concentration in the heart-centre is to open

that centre and by the power of aspiration, love, bhakti, surrender,remove the veil which covers and conceals the soul and bringforward the soul or psychic being to govern the mind, life andbody and turn and open them all fully to the Divine.

This is what is called in yoga the psychic transformation. Thepower of concentration above the head is to bring peace, silence,liberation from the body sense, the identification with mind and lifeand open the way for the lower (mental, vital, physical) conscious-ness to rise up to meet the higher consciousness above and for thepowers of the higher (spiritual nature) consciousness to descendinto mind, life and body. This is what is called the spiritual trans-formation.

The power of concentration in the eyebrows is to open thecentre there, liberate the inner mind and vision.

There is no harm in concentrating sometimes in the heart andsometimes above the head. But concentration in either place doesnot mean keeping the attention fixed on a particular spot; you haveto take your station of consciousness in either place and concen-trate there not on the place, but on the Divine. This can be donewith eyes shut or with eyes open.

The sitting motionless posture is the natural posture for con-centrated meditation – walking and standing are active conditions.

The mind is always in activity. The best thing to do is to realisethat the thought-flow is not yourself; it is not you who are thinking,but thought that is going on in the mind. It is Prakriti with its thought-energy that is raising all this whirl of thought in you, imposing it onthe Purusha. You as the Purusha must stand back as the witnessobserving the action, but refusing to identify yourself with it. Thenext thing is to exercise a control and reject the thoughts. Thesilent mind is a result of yoga; the ordinary mind is never silent.

Page 206: Bhagavad Gita

Grace is something spontaneous which wells out from the DivineConsciousness as a free flow of its being, the bhakta looks for it,but he is ready to wait in perfect reliance.

As for the way out, I know only of quieting of the mind whichmakes meditation effective, purification of the heart which bringsthe divine touch and in time the divine Presence, humility beforethe Divine which liberates from egoism and pride of the mind andof the vital, sustained persistence in the call within and reliance onthe Grace above. Meditation, Japa, prayer or aspiration from theheart can all succeed, if they are attended by these or at leastsome of these things. I fully believe that one who has the call inhim cannot fail to arrive if the follows patiently the way towardsthe Divine. The Divine knows best and one has to have trust in hiswisdom. The length of time is no proof of an ultimate incapacity toarrive : it is only a sign that there is something in oneself which hasto be overcome, and if there is the will to reach the Divine, it canbe overcome.

* * * * *Think of your work only when it is being done, not before and

not after.Do not let your mind go back on a work that is finished. It

belongs to the past and all re-handling of it is a waste of power.Do not let you mind labour in anticipation on a work that has

to be done. The power that acts in you will see to it at its owntime.

* * * * *Jiva – The word Jiva has two meanings – living creatures

and the spirit individualsied and upholding the living being in itsevolution from birth to birth. In the latter sense, the full term isJivatma – the Atman, spirit or eternal self of the living being. It isspoken of by the Gita as “an eternal portion of the Divine.”

The self, Atman is in its nature either transcendednt or univer-sal (Paramatma, Atma). When it individualises and becomes acentral being, it is then the Jivatman. The Jivatman feels his one-ness with the universal but at the same time his central separate-ness as a portion of the Divine. It sees everything in itself or itselfin everything or both together.

The soul, representative of the central being (Jiva or Jivatma),is a spark of the Divine supporting all individual existence in Nature;the psychic being is a conscious form of that soul growing in theevolution – in the persistent process that develps first life in Matter,mind in life, until finally mind can develop into overmind andovermind into the Supramental Truth. The soul supports the naturein its evolution through these grades.

The lower Nature, apara prakriti, is this external Naturewhich manifests all these minds, lives and bodies. The supremeNature, para prakriti, concealed behind it is the very nature ofthe Divine – a supreme Consciousness-Force which manifeststhe multiple Divine as the Many.

These Many are in themselves eternal selves of the Supremein his supreme Nature, para prakriti. Here in relation to this worldthey appear as the Jivatmas supporting the evolution of the naturalexistences, Sarva-bhutani, in the mutable Becoming which is thelife of the Kshara (mobile or mutable) Purusha. The Jiva (orJivatma) and the creatures, Sarva-bhutani, are not the same thing.The Jivatmas stand above the creation; the natural existences,sarva-bhutani, are the creatures of Nature.

The central being (Jivatma) is the being which presides overthe different births one after the another, but is itself unborn, for itdoes not descend into the being but is above it – it holds togetherthe mental, vital and physical being and all the various parts of thepersonality and it controls the life either through the mental beingand the mental thought and will or through the psychic.

Page 207: Bhagavad Gita

The psychic is not above but behind – its seat is behind theheart, its power is not knowledge but an essential or spiritual feeling– it has the clearest sense of the Truth. It is our inmost being andsupports all the others, mental, vital, physical. Its direct actionbecomes normal and preponderant only at a high stage ofdevelopment or by Yoga.

When the inmost knowledge begins to come, we becomeaware of the psychic being within us and it comes forward andleads the Sadhana. We become aware also of the Jivatman, theundivided Self or Spirit above the manifestation of which psychicis the representative here.

The psyhic being is the spark growing into a Fire, evolvingwith the growth of consciousness. When there is full consciousness,the Jivatman and the psychic being join together.

For the most part the Supreme acts through the Jiva and itsnature and the Jiva and the nature act through the ego and the egoacts through the outer instruments- that is the play of the Ignorance.

The Gita puts it that the Jiva is an amsah sanatanah of theOne.

The Jivatma is above all planes, it has no fixed form or colour,though it may represent itself in form.

The Jivatma, spark-soul and psychic being are three differentforms of the same reality. The Jivatma or spirit is self-existentabove the manifested or instrumental being – it is superior to birthand death, always the same, it is the individual Self or Atman; theeternal true being of the individual. The soul is a spark of theDivine in the heart of the living creatures of Nature. It is not seatedabove the manifested being; it enters into the manifestation of theself, consents to be a part of its natural phenomenal becoming,supports its evolution in the world of material Nature. It carrieswith it at first an undifferentiated power of the divine conscious-ness containing all possibilities which have not yet taken form but

to which it is the function of evolution to give form. This spark ofDivinity is there in all living beings from highest to lowest crea-tures.

The psychic being is a spiritual personality put forward by thesoul in its evolution; its growth marks the stage which the spiritualevolution of the individual has reached. It stands behind the men-tal, the vital the physical nature, grows by their experiences, car-ries the consciousness from life to life. It is the psychic Person,caitya purusa. At first it is veiled by the mental, vital and physicalparts but, as it grows, it becomes capable of coming forward anddominating the mind, life and body. When the psychic being canby sadhana become dominant and freely use its instruments, thenthe impulse towards the Divine becomes complete and the trans-formation of mind, vital and body becomes possible.

Page 208: Bhagavad Gita

knows himself as an eternal portion and power and soul-becomingof the Divine, amsa sanatana, The Jiva released and uplifted bythe passing away of ignorance and established in the light andfreedom of his own true and supreme nature which is one withthat of the Eternal. And he who receives our surrender is thePurushottama, the one eternal godhead. (The supreme secret,Essays on the Gita)

The supreme Nature, para prakritih, is the infinite timelessconscious power of the self-existent Being out of which allexistences in the cosmos are manifested and come out oftimelessness into Time. But in order to provide a spiritual basis forthis manifold universal becoming in the cosmos the supreme Natureformulates itself as the Jiva. To put it otherwise, the eternal multiplesoul of the Puruhottama appears as individual spiritual existencein all the forms of the cosmos. We must be careful not to make themistake of thinking that this supreme Nature is identical with theJiva manifested in Time. That is not what the Gita says : it doesnot say that th supreme Prakriti is in its essence the Jiva,jivatmakam, but that it has become the Jiva, jivabhutam. TheJiva is the Lord, isvara, but in his partial manifestation,mamaivamsah. (The two Natures, Essays on the Gita).

AIM, July ’79* * * * *

When Gita speaks of the “sacrifice of knowledge”, it does notmean a giving up of anything, but a turning of the mind towardsthe Divine in the search for knowledge and an offering of oneselfthrough it. It is in this sense, too, that one speaks of the offering orsacrifice of works, Sacrifice means an inner offering to the Divine.

Words of The MotherHow to Meditate : Concentrate in the heart. Enter into it; go

within and deep and far, as far as you can. Gather all the strings ofyour consciousness that are spread abroad, roll them up and takea plunge and sink down. A fire is burning there, in the deep quietudeof the heart. It is the divinity in you – your true being. Hear its

voice, follow its dictates. There are other centres of concentration,for example, one above the crown and another between the eyebrows. Each has its own efficacy and will give you a particularresult. But the central being lies in the heart and from the heartproceed all central movements – the dynamism and urge fortransformation and power of realisation.

There are two paths of Yoga, one of tapasya (discipline) andthe other of surrender. The path of tapasya is arduous. Here yourely solely upon yourself, you proceed by your own strength. Youascend and achieve according to the measure of your force. Thereis always the danger of falling down. The other path, the path ofsurrender, is safe and sure. If you take up this path of surrenderfully and sincerely, there is no more danger or serious difficulty.The question is to be sincere. If you are not sincere, do not beginYoga.

The impulses and desires that come up by the pressure ofYoga should be faced in a spirit of detachment and serenity. Theyshould be offered to the Divine, so that the Divine may take themup and transmute them.

If you have once opened yourself to the Divine, if the powerof the Divine has once come down into you and yet you try tokeep to the old forces, you prepare troubles and difficulties anddangers for yourself.

Keep the will firm. Treat the recalcitrant parts as disobedientchildren. Convince them of their error.

In the depths of your consciousness is the psychic being, thetemple of the Divine within you. This is the centre round whichshould come about the unification of all these divergent parts ofyour being. Once you have turned to the Divine, saying, “I want tobe yours”, and the Divine has said, “Yes”, the whole world cannotkeep you from it. When the central, being has made its surrender,the chief difficulty has disappeared.

The number of hours spent in meditation is no proof of spiritualprogress. It is a proof of your progress when you no longer haveto make an effort to meditate. Then you have rather to make aneffort to stop meditating : it becomes difficult to stop meditation,difficult to stop thinking of the Divine. Then you are sure ofprogress.

What we are seeking is to be concentrated on the Divine in allthat we do, at all times, in all our acts and in every movement.

How to know the Divine Will (1)The Divine Will is not difficult to recognise. It is unmistakable.

You can know it without being very far on the path. Only you mustlisten to its voice, the small voice that is here in the heart. Onceyou are accustomed to listen, if you do anything that is contrary tothe Divine Will, you feel an uneasiness.

To enter the spiritual life means to take a plunge into the Divine,as you would jump into a sea. And that is not the end but the verybeginning; for after you have taken the plunge, you must learn tolive in the Divine. Offer all your movements to it, not only everymental action, every thought and feeling but even the most ordinaryand external actions such as eating; when you eat, you must feelthat it is the Divine who is eating through you. Your one mottoshould be, “Remember and offer.” In the beginning of the Yogayou are apt to forget the Divine very often. But by constantaspiration you increase your remembrance and you diminish theforgetfulness.

Equanimity : The firm basis of all spiritual power isequanimity. You must not allow anything to disturb your poise.:you can then resist any kind of attack. Attacks from adverse forcesare inevitable : you have to take them as tests on your way and gocourageously through the ordeal. The struggle may be hard, butwhen you come out of it, you have gained something, you haveadvanced a step. There is even a necessity for the existence of

the hostile forces. They make your determination stronger, youraspiration clearer.

The only way to fail in your battle with the hostile forces is notto have true confidence in the Divine help. Sincerity in the aspirationalways brings down the required succour. A quiet call, a convictionthat in this ascension towards the realisation you are never walkingall alone and a faith that whenever help is needed, it is there, willlead you through, easily and securely.

In any case, when an attack comes the wisest attitude is toconsider that it comes from outside and to say, "This is not myselfand I will have nothing to do with it". [The sign of hostile attack isdoubt and depression]. No attachments, no desires, no impulses,no preferences; perfect equanimity, unchanging peace and absolutefaith in the Divine protection : with that you are safe, without ityou are in peril.

The only true attitude for a Yogi is to be plastic and ready toobey the Divine command whatever it may be. Men who possesswealth and are surrounded by the things that give them luxury andenjoyment turn to the Divine, and immediately their movement isto run away from these things– or, as they say, to "escape fromtheir bondage." But it is a wrong movement; you must not thinkthat the things you have belong to you, – they belong to the Divine.If the Divine wants you to enjoy anything, enjoy it; but be readytoo to give it up the very next moment with a smile. – TheMother, Conversations

How To Know The Divine Will (2)One does not know it, one feels it. And in order to feel it one

must will with such an intensity, such sincerity, that every obstacledisappears. As long as you have a preference, a desire, anattraction, a liking, all these veil the Truth from you. Hence, thefirst thing to do is to try to master, govern, correct all the movementsof your consciousness.

Page 211: Bhagavad Gita

What is necessary is an aspiration which burns in the beinglike a constant fire, and every time you have a desire, a preference,an attraction it must be thrown into this fire. If you do thispersistently, you will see that a little gleam of true consciousnessbegins to dawn in your ordinary consciousness. At first it will befaint, very far behind all the din of desires, preferences, attractions,likings. But you must go behind all this and find that trueconsciousness, all calm, tranquil, almost silent.

(AIM, April, 83)To know the Divine will, there are four conditions : The first :

an absolute sincerity. Second : to overcome desires andpreferences. Third : to silence the mind and listen. Fourth : to obeyimmediately when you receive the order. If you persist you willperceive the divine Will more and more clearly. But even beforeyou know what it is, you can make an offering of your own willand you will see that all circumstances will be so arranged as tomake you do the right thing. (AIM June 78)

To choose without preference : To choose withoutpreference and execute without desire is the great difficulty at thevery root of the development of true consciousness and self-control.To choose in this sense means to see what is true and bring it intoexistence; and to choose thus, without the least personal bias foranything, is exactly what is most difficult for an ordinary humanbeing. If you observe yourself attentively, you will see that beforeacting you need an inner impetus, something which pushes you. Inthe ordinary man this impetus is generally desire. This desire oughtto be replaced by a clear, precise constant vision of the Truth.Some call this the Voice of God or the Will of God. (AIM Ap 74)

O .... M : With the help of OM (AUM) one can realise theDivine. OM has transforming power. OM represents the Divine.

Just try for an hour : If you try to silence your mind directly,it is a hard job. If, on the other hand, you manage to shift your

consciousness into a higher domain, above the ordinary mind, thisopening to the Light calms the mind. The only true solution isaspiration for the higher light. (AIM, Jan. 79)

On sleep : It is good to repeat a mantra, a word, a prayerbefore going into sleep. And on the body its effect is extraordinary: it begins to vibrate, vibrate, vibrate .... and quietly you let yourselfgo as though you wanted to get into sleep. That is the cure fortamas. It is tamas which causes bad sleep (AIM Mar 74)

Illness and Healing : The real disease is fear. Throw thefear away and the disease will go. All fear must be overcome andreplaced by a total confidence in the Divine Grace.

* * * * *Peace and stillness are the great remedy for disease. When

we can bring peace in our cells we are cured.* * * * *

Finally it is Faith that cures. (AIM Ap 82)Q : Sweet Mother, when one sees an illness coming,

how can one stop it?Ah! First of all, you must not want it, and nothing in the body

must want it. You must have a very strong will not be ill. This is thefirst condition. The second condition is to call the light, a light ofequilibrium, a light of peace, a quietitude and balance, and to pushit into all the cells of the body, enjoining them not to be afraid.

First, not to want to be ill, and then not to be afraid of illness.You must neither attract it nor tremble. You must not want illnessat all. You must have a calm certitude and a complete trust in thepower of the Grace. When you have done these two things, refusingthe illness with all your will and infusing a confidence whichcompletely eliminates the fear in the cells of the body, and thenbusying yourself with something else, not thinking any longer aboutthe illness, if you know how to do that, you may even be in contactwith people who have contagious diseases, and yet you do not

catch them. (AIM Mar 81)Catch hold of a peace deep within and push it into the cells of

the body. With the peace will come back the health. (Sri AurobindoCircle83)

Each time you receive a blow from life, tell yourself immediately,"Ah, I have to make a progress"; then the blow becomes a blessing.

(AIM Nov 85)Victory over Falsehood : The lords of Falsehood hold, at

present, almost complete sway over poor humanity. Not only thelower life-energy, the lower vital being, but also the whole mind ofman accepts them. Countless are the ways in which they areworshipped, for they are most subtle in their cunning and seektheir ends in variously seductive disguises. The result is that mencling to their falsehood as if it were a treasure. Apprehensive ofits safety, they take care to bury it deep down in themselves; butunless they take it out and surrender it to the Divine they willnever find true happiness.

Indeed the very act of bringing it out and showing it to theLight would be in itself a momentous conversion and pave theway to the final Victory. For laying bare of each falsehood is initself a victory– each acknowledgement of error is the demolitionof one of the Lords of Darkness. It may be an acknowledgementto oneself, provided it is absolutely honest and is no subtle regretapt to be forgotten the next moment and without the strength tomake an unbreakable resolution not to repeat the mistake. Or itmay be the acknowledgement to the Divine embodied in the Guru.As a result of direct personal confession to the Guru, your resolutionremains no longer your own, because, if you are sincere, theDivine's fiat goes forth in your favour. It is the very same powerthat will bring about the realisation in you of the truth when youcome in all sincerity, saying, ‘‘This falsehood I want to get ridof,’’ and the answer which you get is ‘‘Yes’’.

Faith : Faith is the movement of the soul whose knowledge isspontaneous and direct. Even if the whole world denies and bringsforward a thousand proofs to the contrary, still it knows by aninner knowledge, a direct perception that can stand againsteveryting, a perception by identity. The knowledge of the psychicis something which is concrete and tangible, a solid mass. You canalso bring it into your mental, your vital and your physical; andthen you have an integral faith– a faith which can really movemountains. Faith in itself is always unshakable– that is its verynature, for otherwise it is not faith at all.

Power of Right Attitude : Is it really the best that alwayshappens? It is clear that all that has happened had to happen : itcould not be otherwise– by the universal determinism it had tohappen. But we can say so only after it has happened, not before.For the problem of the very best that can happen is an individualproblem and all depends upon the personal attitude. If in thepresence of circumstances that are about to take place, you cantake the highest attitude possible– that is, if you put yourconsciousness in contact with the highest consciousness withinreach, you can be absolutely sure that in that case it is the bestthat can happen to you. The right attitude not only has the powerto turn every circumstance to advantage but can change the verycircumstance itself. This truth is just the key to the whole problemof transformation. Always keep in touch with the divine presence,try to bring it down – and the very best will always take place.

* * * * *Studies strengthen the mind and take away your attention from

its concentration on the impulses and desires of the vital.Concentration on one's studies is one of the most powerful meansto control the mind and the vital; that is why studying is so important.

India Feb, 69)When you die ...... all your desires, attachments, cravings

persist with the sense of frustration and disappointment, and allthat prevents you from finding the expected peace. To enjoy apeaceful and eventless death you must prepare for it. And theonly effective preparation is the abolition of desires. (AIM May82)

* * * * *Compassion and gratitude are essentially psychic virtues. (AIM

Feb-Mar 80)* * * * *

The Grace is equally for all. But each one receives it accordingto his sincerity. We find in others what is in us. If we always findmud around us, it proves that there is mud somewhere in us.

True surrender enlarges you; it increases your capacity.It is only in silence that a true progress can be made; it is only

in silence that one can rectify a wrong movement; it is only insilence that one can be of help to somebody else.

All sincere prayers are granted, every call is answered. (Wordsof the Mother, 3rd series)

May the Truth be our master and guide.He who wants sincerely to serve the Truth will know the Truth.

(AIM June 78)Soar higher : Soar ever higher, ever farther, without fear or

hesitation. The hopes of today are realisations of tomorrow.Endure and you will triumph. Victory goes to the most enduring.And with the Grace and the divine love nothing is impossible.

At the end of the struggle there is Victory.The best protection is an unshaksble faith in the Divine Grace.

(AIM June 78)Work done in the true spirit is meditation.To work for the Divine is to pray with the body.

– The Mother, Practical guide to integral YogaBecome and live the knowledge thou hast; then is thy

knowledge the living God within thee.– Sri Aurobindo, Ths &Aphs

To do the work that one does with all sincerity, as perfectlyas one can, is certainly one of the best ways to serve theDivine.– The Mother, AIM Nov. 81

One must have no fear, it acts like a magnet and attractswhat we fear.– The Mother, Self Perfection, Part 3

If Hell were possible, it would be the shortest cut to thehighest heaven.– Sri Aurobindo, Ths & Aphs

See God everywhere and be not frightened by masks.Believe that all falsehood is a truth in the making.– Sri Aurobindo,Ths & Aphs.

When thou art able to see how necessary is suffering tofinal delight, failure to utter effectiveness..., then you begin tounderstand something, however faintly and dimly, of God'sworkings.– Sri Aurobindo, Ths & Aphs.

Yoga through work is the easiest and most effective way toenter into the stream of Sadhana. AIM Ap.84

The divine Friend of all creatures conceals His friendliness inthe mask of an enemy till he has made us ready for the highestheavens.

Pain is the key that opens the gates of strength; it is the high-road that leads to the city of beatitude.–Ths. & Aph, Sri Aurobindo

Attitude- The same thing, identically the same, if we take it asa gift of God, as a divine grace, helps us to become more conscious,stronger, more true, while if we take it as a blow from fate, as abad force, this constricts us, weighs us down and takes away fromus all consciousness and strength and harmony.

Regarding stomach trouble – It is due to restlessness andagitation. Bring down peace, the Divine Peace, in your stomachand it will be all right.

Regarding fever – Remain peaceful and confident and it willsoon be over. Peace and stillness are the great remedy for disease.When we can bring peace in our cells we are cured.

Conscious Will-The movements we make almost constantlyin our everyday life or which we have to make in our work if it isa physical work, do not help or help very little to develop the musclesand to create harmony in the body. The same movements, if theyare made consciously with a definite aim suddenly start helpingyou to build up your body. Walking to go somewhere and walkingas an exercise is not the same thing. It is the conscious will whichis important. Going up and down the stairs – you cannot imaginehow useful that can be from the point of view of physical culture…you go up ( or come down) with the consciousness of all the muscleswhich are working and of making them work harmoniously. Youwill see. Just try a little. This means that you can use all themovements of your life for a harmonious development of the body.

You bend down to pick something up, you open a door, youclose it, there are hundred and one things you do constantly andwhich you can make use of for your physical culture.- Mother,Health and Healing in Yoga.
