All life is Yoga

[Sanjeev Patra]

 

 

A single occupation,
a single aim,
a single joy—the Divine.

I have given no right, no responsibility, no authority to any ashramite, to any sadhak to interfere, to change or to try to rectify whatever goes on here around him, or protest against whatever might seem to him wrong or out of place, or however he might be effected by it. The only responsibility that one has is to change one’s own nature, the sole duty one has been entrusted with is to see to one’s own progress only, and nothing else is any one’s concern.

This is the first and most important condition that one has to remember constantly if one wants to do one’s sadhana here in Sri Aurobindo’s Ashram.

There is no formal initiation, acceptance is sufficient, but I do not usually accept unless I have seen, or the Mother has seen the person or unless there is a clear sign that he is meant for this yoga. Sometimes those who desire to be disciples have seen me in dream or vision before acceptance.

- Sri Aurobindo

 

Never forget that you are not alone. The Divine is with you helping and guiding you. He is the companion who never fails, the friend whose love comforts and strengthens. The more you feel lonely, the more you are ready to perceive His luminous Presence. Have faith and He will do everything for you.

It is not a hope but a certitude that the complete transformation of the nature will take place.

- Sri Aurobindo

 

Feeling yourself alone in the midst of human beings is the sign that you have need now to find in your own being contact with the Divine Presence. You must then concentrate in silence and try to enter deep within so that you may discover the Divine Presence in the core of your consciousness, beyond all mental activity.

The Divine does not see things as men do and has no need to punish or reward. Each and every action carries in itself its fruit and its consequences.

According to the nature of the action, it brings you near to the Divine or takes you away from Him, and that is the supreme consequence.

He who chooses the infinite has been chosen by the infinite.

- Sri Aurobindo

 

No human will can finally prevail against the Divine's will.
Let us put ourselves deliberately and exclusively on the side of the Divine and the victory is ultimately certain.
