Namaste so uh as we enter into the special dasan day 24th November most of us think about it as the day when SRI Krishna his personality as an avatar the avataric personality of sh SRI Krishna fused with shindo this is how it is most widespread known and especially
As Indians Hindus we are very happy about it but actually if we go through the writings shindo did not give much importance to this event mother says when she went and told him he simply nodded that he knew about it that’s it she came to say something she had
Seen and what she had seen was that sh Krishna is fusing with SH arabindo when she went to talk to him about it he was in his intense concentration Bringing Down the super mind but he himself did not give so much importance to it so then what else is the importance
Of this day there are two other very important events that took place one was that from after 15th August 1926 that is after sh’s bir the mother had automatically spontaneously Guided by an inner uh urge we may say so she had started taking charge of the asham this these are shind those words
On her own obviously she knew what’s why she was doing and when she started taking the charge of the asham her first urge was to bring down the highest for the children who were there and she brought the children uh brought the gods into the Earth atmosphere they began to
Manifest in many of the disciples handful of disciples they were not disciples also they were people who had gathered around shindo and they started having brilliant experiences of a very high kind and then she goes and tells shirinda about it shirinda says yes I know we can make a great religion out of
It the greatest and till the end of the world people will you know worship but this not what we want it is an overmind creation nothing short of the perfect Perfection that is the super mind where there is no possibility of any error creation of the Gods is still subject to
Error because it stands on the border line it’s not yet crossed into that complete truth Consciousness it’s like the Rays and not the sun itself in the language of the Vic rishis so the mother understood by her inner Consciousness and she dissolved that entire over mind creation and started a new for the
Supramental work now what that is what this means we’ll talk about it perhaps tomorrow in a Hindi talk and the third event which is equally significant is that it is the day when the mother formally she had already started taking charge of the disciples but 24th November 1926 is the day when shindo
Completely withdrew from all out activities they very few anyways and the mother took direct charge of the disciples so when someone asked shindo that there is a charm and poetry in the fact that the asham doesn’t have a foundation day still I would like to
Know if people may like to know when is the foundation day or when was the asham formed shinda says that 24th November 1926 can be considered as the beginning of the asham at at the same time he the mother says something very interesting the ashram new year is actually 4th April
1910 that means 4th April and the reason is shindo is coming only only after is coming that this possibility started so we can talk a little bit about the shindu asham and it’s a mother’s creation so it’s very difficult to talk about it even to understand it
One of the best ways to understand the asham is to live it and for a long time don’t try to understand it and as you live and as the asham grows into you and you grow into the asham life one begins to little bit understand because it’s Mother’s sristy
It’s not a human sristy even to understand the creation that we have made is I mean we have participated in so difficult but there are several hints that the mother and shinda have given and we can talk about it but before that it should be very very clear that
Making an asham or building an asham or creating an asham whatever we may say and having disciples this was not mother’s and shindo Mission someone asked shindo he says this will be hardly anything for the mother to come down and start in asham with some people this grew as an extension of
Their core Mission so their core mission was to create the bridge between man’s mind and gods to build the bridge between Earth as it is today and the supramental worlds that are trying to manifest and the mother says very powerfully that even if not a single person
Recognized still they would do it thear doesn’t need anybody to know and the mother said our work does not depend upon any human being this work doesn’t depend on any human being and it’s we can take a comparison for instance shirama came in the avar and he brought
In a new consciousness he didn’t start an asham he didn’t even give a you know talk or write anything s Krishna very few recognized him he gave the Gita he didn’t start a school and yet we see that his work was done similarly shindu and the mother’s work would have been
This part of the work which is the most important work this part of the work was entirely upon them they were the bridge their body their Consciousness and they were to build the bridge of consciousness by embodying on one side the human consciousness on the other side the
Unmanifest super mind and that even if no one knew there was no asham their work would be a success as long as this happened which happened so this is important to understand so then what was the need of an asham so like everything it grew organically if you use the
Modern term or under the pressure of the Divine will manifesting itself there was no plan there was no plan that okay 24th November 1926 sh said I think we should start in asham because there are quite a few people mother says that there was never at any moment any plan and that’s
Why difficult to understand the asham it was not started with a mental thought mental idea okay we have to accommodate so many people houses are required nothing so it started as say by the pressure of the chit Tapas they were doing tap and as a result of their tapasia just
Like we see that vishwamitra created an anxe of SW for trishanku and trishanku is not just one being trishanku is a type of humanity is wanting to go to heaven but is not ready similarly the mad and shind as a result of their tapasia as an explosion of
Their tapasia as an extension of their tapasia the asham came up so obviously in the the scheme of things it has a purpose so what was the purpose one of the first writings one of the first reasons why the mother created the asham is when the Divine comes though he comes to
Bridge open next rung of the ladder and he would do it even if no human being knew about it but he comes with Divine dreams Divine ideals and that he wants to manifest to manifest you need time and space to con space and to conquer time in which that Divine world can
Manifest Express itself and there is also need for a collective kind of Life shinda speaks about it in his one of his letters to barin daaa so that a collective life a group of humanity can Thrive can be nurtured with this new Consciousness and move towards
That how is that important to the rest because we are all interconnected and simply because one person strives let’s take for example in a household there are four people or let’s say there are just two people husband and wife or friends and as one person strives to
Move in a certain direction because of the interconnectedness the other person will either have to keep Pace or there will be a break just can’t help it the law of evolution now when one human being that’s how Buddha helped mankind one Buddha and hundreds and thousands are lit up with that spark and
Begin to follow so it’s not important that there are so many adherant and followers Shin never wanted that and he’s has made it very clear in his letter I do not want thousands of people that’s not important but even if a few handful sincerely are uplifted then because there’ll be a
Vacuum to fill the vacuum more and more will come as more will come to the next step others will follow suit this is how the new creation will proceed so this was the whole purpose that let there be a sample of humanity and there was a burden on this sample of humanity these
Two came just as with SRI Krishna certain dtas and Davies came even asuras and rakshasas came because they part of the grand scheme of things so they were all waiting for this moment and they also came to become part of this scheme how were they going to help by becoming
Part part of the scheme very simple let’s take for example a scientist he experiments in uh on discovering let’s say the principle of electricity or solar lights he does it in his own laboratory with a few assistants each one contributes something there is the main scientist
Who has the idea and is working out all the inner plans there are others who are trying to build you know panels there are still others who are trying to find how to fix it it but once it has been worked out in one laboratory then it can be
Replicated it’s like a fire which spreads so shinda in one of his letters writes this ashram is a laboratory as X puts it a very different meaning how is it a laboratory it’s a laboratory of human evolution where does the laboratory begins people enter from very very
Different kinds of uh points into the as life it was asked to shindo I wish you had all people like vianda into into the asham what a master and what a disciples and shindu writes humorously as to the disciples I agree but that was his way of saying but your other question that
If I had disciples like Swami vianda it is very doubtful if they would even agree for this kind of venture because it’s very difficult and if they agreed it is very doubtful where whether the ordinary Humanity in them will not show up under the pressure of the uh transforming Consciousness so these were
The ones who were representative Humanity so we’ll see that certain letters for example of dilip Kumar Roy or nirod or huadi we’ll identify are yes yes yes this comes to me also this my problem also so they were representative samples of humanity and if things could be worked
Out in them they represented the resistance and the possibility and if things could be worked out in their nature it would automatically through a morphogenetic resonance if you want to use a scientific term it would help many others who are going to come Hereafter that also answer the question
What is the asham doing for Humanity because we don’t have hospitals where free medicines are distributed because we want to somehow find a way through which which we can heal without medicines we are very far from it let’s be humble many have not even woken up to
This idea we don’t have a free school because we want to try out a new education way through which all education can become a self unfolding of the divine within we are very far but the work is in progress we want to discover new ways of Structural
Engineering Gund is an example which can become the yoga of the Divine in the material world we are very far from it but at least we have couple of examples we want to discover new ways of music new ways of Art New approaches to science towards solving human problems of food of greed
Of need everything of equality of fraternity and if it can be done here of course as I said there is still a long distance but once it is done here it can become a prototype for others few things today the world cries for equality fraternity Freedom everybody say this is the
Ultimate Nara of mankind it’s not just a political slogan it’s a spiritual need now how is it very beautifully it is there in the asham life it’s so natural one of the first things that struck me about the asham is oh all these things
Which are dear to me also I said it is there how there is Freedom everybody is given maximum Freedom minimum rules mother’s own words very few things are like not to do and that to was subsequently because people kept asking because you can’t create a new creation unless you try out
Different possibilities experiments it’s an experimental thing so maximum Freedom you have the freedom to grow each in your own way not even a particular particular religious ritualistic approaches uh or indoctrination on anyone nobody takes account how many have come for the meditation and next day notice nobody takes account what
Kind of dress you’re wearing as long as it’s a decent dress nobody I mean obviously if you move as a Naga sadhu that’s not acceptable for deep public decency is also something so so nobody asks how you are in your room what you doing here there’s no CCTV camera watching over you
Nothing of course if you become a public nuisance or you brush against the law obviously the law of the land has to be respected and if you become a public nuisance anywhere in the world that’s common sense it’s not the freedom obviously doesn’t mean that but otherwise there is maximum Freedom
Nobody compels nobody takes an attendance in the department what time you came maybe once in a while somebody may tell you when are you leaving what way you doing they may you know they always gossipers who may talk but this not the asham he didn’t build it like
These were never encouraged in fact mother said to gossip about what others are doing is unfaithfulness to the Divine work and this not our task so this is about Freedom why that freedom works out here because there is a center to the freedom and that Center is the
Divine Freedom doesn’t mean that I’ll do what I feel like what I want to it is understood that the goal is the Divine so then that freedom now you organize your life in your own free way which will help you to find the Divine and if we don’t what if we don’t the
Pressure of consciousness of the asham will automatically people can’t bear it and they go away this has happened if you think that you know if one thinks that okay I’ll do whatever I feel like it doesn’t matter nobody’s here to monitor me nobody is going to
Tell me it doesn’t matter there is a mother says at one point there is no outer test but there is a very severe inner test which goes on there are forces that are constantly and she’s watching over It ultimately all under her grace that’s why it’s an
Experiment it’s an evolution so a point comes when you one cannot bear the pressure of change so one goes away it’s perfectly fine it’s it’s nobody asks a question nobody calls anybody invites to join the asham in fact right from shindo I mean it’s a way of saying shind the’s
Time there were many more people who were asked not to come from 24th November 1926 till 1955 December there were hardly about 150 or 200 people who were accepted as asham inmates most people were not asked they were asked to do the sadh outside so another illusion which you must not
Have is is that one must become an asham inmate to do the yoga several letters of mad and shindo it’s very clear that one can be anywhere and do this yoga even in the asham OR in piter let me put it like that there were two kinds of people and
There plenty of letters to that effect those who came with family who wanted to support the family who came with the child who came with wife or husband whatever it is so they could be part of the asham they would be considered like that but they are supporting
Themselves that mean they are earning the money and they are this was one of the basis it was not that they are not asham inm made simply because they are having their family this is another conception that many people have there were there was always people like that
On the other hand there were those who came who wanted to join the asham in this way that you know physically I want to depend fully on the asham so in that case whatever they nobody was asked for it but whatever they could they offered to the asham and then they continued to
Remain as part of the asham even now you have something very similar you have Prosperity list and the non Prosperity list so we people are asham inmates even there are people in pondichery who are earning their livelihood or who have earned their livelihood who have family
And children but they are part of the asham they are offering their work they are um going to the samadhi like that so of course changes in outer structure take place so this is the essence and there are disciples outside there’s a letter of shind who says there are very
Few who are called to live in the asham there are many more disciples outside then there are in the asham because this place the pressure is very intense it’s an unseen pressure it’s very difficult to understand that’s why when people would come to have some peace the mother would say there is that
Hill nearby can go there because as we understand peace a retired man’s peace every day I’ll go sit at the samadhi do some meditation little bit work and I’ll be at peace here there is pressure for transformation and this pressure is not at all visible this pressure gets more and more
When we begin to stay here and as we begin to stay live here then that pressure what does the pressure do brings out all that is hidden inside it’s like a catharsis a cleansing a pressure to change and we are compelled to become sincere if not as I said
People part ways and they have the freedom to do that so Freedom equality we all dine together and I won’t use the word wine together we all Divine together yeah wi Divine wine we we drink together we nobody ask anybody people sit together in the dining room
You’ll never see which cast the person is from whether person is Indian European nothing equality again why this equality works out because it is based on centering around the Divine what is that bond which ties us not that I’m an American or an Indian or european but simply because I’m a child
Of the mother and others are also devotees and children of the mother and while I may have dislike and likes like any human difficulties and problems but yet this is known that okay there is that deeper link which is always there so equality everybody has equal opportunity this of course is rightly speaking
Fraternity but also equality everybody has equal opportunity what is that equal opportunity all the asham facilities be it Sports ground swimming pool tennis ground music section learning anything art Department everything is available to everybody not just VIPs in fact if you behave like a VIP there is a
Problem yesterday I went to sports ground to park my scooter it’s raining I want to park in a no sir you cannot park lady out there so I started I said Doctor something doctor okay but take the scooter away no VIP is so sweet you feel so
Happy that yes that AOS is still there so there is no VIP culture okay you’ll see first time when I went with Dum Bai to Gloria I didn’t know he’s a truste he just said come I sat with him I saw a man in do and
Wearing a ban by his side there was this fellow was sitting and I’m going with him he’s asked me little bit didn’t speak much he showed me Gloria came back as if he was Duty bound to do these things he would send me a on birthday because we shared the birthday happy
Birthday and I used to be surprised how he remembers that was that’s a kind of humility many times you won’t even know there are people in the asham who don’t know who are trustees you’ll be surprised but it is true so that VIP culture and this and
That is those who want to flatter and all is a different thing alog together but it’s neither expected nor required everybody has equal rights equal opportunities to grow so this is the way these this asham has grown up to hold an ideal of humanity very high and why this
Is possible simply because this life is centered around the Divine and this is a message to the world you can’t have these ideals if you cherish limited identities the only way mankind can realize these ideals is by centering oneself around the Divine by realizing the divine within and that’s why the
Mother speaks about a gnostic Community says you cannot have a gnostic Community till you realize the Gnostic being inside you but that’s a different subject altogether so how did it all started as I said by a pressure of Consciousness and through this asham life the mother has planted a dream upon
Earth as I said their work did not depend upon it all this is now addon it’s like when Mama makes a nice dish everybody’s mama you have many other side dishes deserts but the main dish is what she has made for you so that dish is the supramental
Creation the bridge that is given to man now even if there was no asham even if there was no other event mankind will evolve into the supermental being this is destined but then there are add-ons after all the vine has come he is not happy only giving us okay there is the bridge
Because so he said okay I’ll create a space this one of the gifts of shind and the mother to mankind you can do the sadna everywhere but come here you will have better opportunities so people go to companies to see for opportunity so what is the opportunity here the mother described it
In one of our passages a dream which nowadays you see oril it is being distributed a dream but it was originally written before the arel was formed she writes and this is how the asham life can be best described there should be somewhere on earth a place
Which no Nation could claim as its own where all human beings of Goodwill who have a sincere aspiration could live freely as citizens of the world and Obey one single Authority that of the Supreme truth a place of Peace Concord and Harmony where all the fighting instincts
Of man would be used exclusively to conquer the causes of his sufferings and miseries we are experimental beings we are trying to work it out how far one succeeds that’s only the Divine mother knows but this is what the asham is meant for so there are people who need
To be to fight the outer War definitely but there are people who have to take the much greater and more challenging inner fight not all are ready for that so this is the inner War a place where the needs of the spirit and the concern for Progress which take precedence over the
Satisfaction of desires and passion we have everything that we need for we have a room nice clean hygienic food exercise gym studies you want to develop learn languages learn music art everything dance different things but if one says I want you know that letter of sady you
Know what I want to have um lobsters fishes she writes to shindu all these things see what a free relation they had with the master you know what I want to have lobsters fishes crabs I want to eat shindo writes eat your desire so sense of humor so it’s not pleasure and
Comfort but everything that one needs is there because now you are provided mother says that several times she met people in her life who would say how can we pursue a spiritual life because we are so bogged down with our outer needs so mother used to think that when time
Comes if I get an opportunity I’ll create a space like that and she says somewhere around what is known as the middle age middle of one’s life I I had the opportunity and so I created a space where people need not uh worry about livelihood about a place to stay this is
The true communism not that barrel of a gun so this is the communism which is the Divine communism whose example the asham is but uh she says that uh I’ve seen that it doesn’t work out so this of course marks to us not very flattering
Marks but she say it’s okay it’s for the Divine these are things which he says nevertheless it say people are called how many can sustain the pressure uh it’s she she she allowed that big leeway because she knew that this is a very difficult task and as I
Said this is one of the Creations equally orable Society they’re one of the Creations even if none of them was there their work will be done only they trying to make it easier for all of us there are people who have this need and they are bogged down by outer
Situations children would be able to grow and develop integrally without losing contact with their souls education would be given not for passing examinations or obtaining certificates and posts but to enrich existing faculties and bring forth new ones in this place titles and positions would be replaced by opportunities to serve and
Organize the more you are ready for serving the more work is given to you it automatically comes so it’s not based on title what am I going to can I put your symbol some people know mother symbol now part of the asham in in visiting card no leave your visiting card or if
You want to keep your visiting card keep the only visiting card is going inside there the visiting card is ma and you can’t fool there those fellows know so the bodily needs of each one would be equally provided for there no like big houses given to those who are ministers
Or anything like that there is an equal opportunity equal facility and intellectual moral and spiritual superiority would be expressed in the general organization not by an increase in the pleasures and powers of life but by increased duties and responsibilities on our own nobody gives a charter of
Duties you don’t get a job description nothing beauty in all its artistic forms so it’s a very different asham like any other every aspect of life every field is there beauty in all its artistic forms painting sculpture music literature would be equally accessible to all the ability to share in the joy
It brings would be limited only by by the capacities of each one and not by social or financial position any asham inmate wants to learn any of these they are very good teachers you can just enroll you can learn no money nothing no questions asked so this is how you can learn
Languages you can learn music for in this ideal place money would no longer be the Sovereign Lord that’s a very important thing there’s no special d i I was very happy when I came here there’s no Deluxe d no special D nobody sees okay how much
Is in your pocket they see what is in your heart even that they don’t see because people don’t have the vision to see but nothing how much you are offering they will simply give you an envelop put it write it that’s it nobody’s watching over you how much
You’re offering even small amount of money still you get a blessing packet still it is all accepted nobody said only this much you giving you are a rich man nothing so money is not the Lord individual worth would have a far greater importance than that of material world and social
Standing there are so many examples of this one of them funny one was one major general sa he was working in shind the society but it was very interesting very nice person very good human being he would not uh throw his weight around and once everybody thought that people use
The were General General so there were people who didn’t know about the rank structure they thought General sa is very general category major is good and he used to take it laughingly and he would say you know everybody calls me major sa major sa I am also
Enjoying so there is no such thing there are so many instances someone came to International guest house there was a person stand sitting on the stool outside who gave all the directions hints everything and afterwards he came to know he is a retired Supreme Court judge and there are plenty of examples
Like that so if those are the things one wants then well the whole world is there mother said for all these things so what is important is develop one’s capacities and possibilities while being of service to the community as a whole which for its own part would provide for each individual’s
Subsistence and sphere of action in short it would be a place where human relationship ship which are normally based almost exclusively on competition and strife would be replaced by relationships of emulation in doing well of collaboration and real Brotherhood we we don’t uh you know when we speak to each other we don’t
Say it’s such a joy it’s real Brotherhood people can be together in such a beautiful way the Earth is certainly not ready to realize such an ideal for mankind does not yet possess sufficient knowledge to understand and adopt it not the conscious force that is indispensable in
Order to execute it that is why I call it a dream but then she says something interesting and yet this dream is in the course of becoming a reality that is what we are striving for in shindu asham on a very small scale in proportion to a limited means so this
Dream she has planted here but this is a dream for the whole world this only a small seed plot but this is meant to be so what will happen in the future which more and more we see already this urge is coming up uh and is
There in the Life Divine that more and more there will be Gnostic communities they will spring up all over the world I know people in uh um certain places who are trying this experiment Gnostic communities where people would like to live communes this is the future of mankind not societies but communes
Where they live together centered around the life is centered around the great ideal and that’s how they will come together support each other nourish each other and this when it will manifest we don’t know but this is going to be the future there are some places very few
But it has started Delhi asham is one example branch of the asham there’s some Society centers some cers outside where people are trying this and that’s why shindo says in one of his letters for the asham there has never been at any time a mental plan a fixed program or an organization decided
Beforehand so all those people say this should have been like this that should have been like that no sir it is the way it should be because we think mentally what do we think we think this would facilitate I’ll give just one example to explain so when we go into the asham we
See some very interesting things one of them is that there are all kinds of these structures Boulders which has come up to support the tree standard practice is cut the tree make a nice space mother would never agree to that and some people said you know people
Have little space to go around sometime you feel why do you need to go around what’s so special about going around go around them Center them and go around them in in your being who prevents us from making all our activities centered around the Divine then there was another place
Where you know the the the ceiling was little low when people entered it’s reminded with the story of Nal damanti where damanti says if somebody can cross the low ceiling that means she’s null very symbolic thing humility so somebody said we should change this no no no it’s very correct it will teach
People humility to bow down there was another where people were asked oh this person is he keeps talking ill about the asham why have you kept him here he said that’s a very good thing it’s a test for people’s sincerity everybody has a place he’s doing his self-appointed task imagine what a job
The person is making people sincere big task by only doing complaining and grumbling that if still people stay on that mean they are genuine about the yoga how this has developed and every time a problem comes the only way is by the adjustments of Consciousness that
The mother and shindu are doing all the time and that’s why she says the whole thing has taken birth grown and developed as a living being by movement of Consciousness how we grow organically every parent wants to plan their child’s life and every parent learns that it
Cannot be done but they learn it by the time the child has his own children who believes in the error of the parent that I’ll plan my child’s life isn’t it but life doesn’t follow that it grows organically through many unseen unforeseen event circumstances everything so this is how what they do
Is by the pressure of Consciousness things IM who could have ever imagined and that’s how the Divine act that before the Mahabharata War this hero of Heroes will suddenly start shivering no no no I can’t kill them who could have imagined that Arjun who is the uncontested hero
Warrior of the Mahabharata always he has proved his Merit suddenly we’ll do this this so there are many things which take place in life in creation Divine action is like that so that’s how it is by the pressure of cons movement of Consciousness chit Tapas constantly maintained increase and
Fortified and that’s why the mother says that it is not that a movement of creation was started and then stopped and then again started constantly the Consciousness is recreating so to say continues its creation and it is not a thing which has been done and which
Grows out of when what has been done so it is not like mental oh you have a problem okay I’ll give you a solution it is a pressure of Consciousness that brought out and is the pressure of Consciousness that is going to resolve it there no mental ways and mental
Answers which is something remarkable which one has to live and then you know one experiences it so but then what is this place very beautifully many people say that okay that was then what about now so there is one of the things in this place shinda has used the word place of central
Influence the mother has set so much about samadi so one way to look at it as the asham is like an institution that the least important way because institution is an outer body and thank God it is not an institutionalized or organized you know life we know what happens to institutionalized
Organized their religions mother said we don’t want to create a new religion where there will be a pope he will decide what time everybody will come how many times one will sit Facing East or West and praying lifting hands or putting them on the knees no you’re left
Free go to the asham you do go to the Sami at your own time you don’t go it’s up to you it’s each one’s Journey so there nothing which is outwardly institutionalized which is something so it’s not an institution the way we understand the institution is there meant to manage the material things
Because it has to be in somebody’s name but it is the mother and shindo tapali it is their tapasia their stamp which is on this air this uh of course the samadhi is the central place where it eminates their rooms their places where they have gone at one place sh
Says what do you mean by the as in this building every room of every disciple is the asham building and later on they said wherever mad said wherever there are disciples who are connected through shindu teachings so it’s all there is a inner asham which is different from the
Outer outer asham is in material time and space but there is inner extension of the asham there are people in the inner asham and their houses are asham houses this mother spoken about it shind has spoken about it and I have traveling to countless places outside I’ve
Experienced that this this room is or this house is just like an asham house there’s no difference so there is an inner dimension of the asham which we don’t know behind the outer I mean one can know if one begins to live within and the core is the mother and shindo their
Ever living presence it’s not their material presence it’s a work they have undertaken they don’t abandon and okay okay now we are going bye-bye it is we who say bye-bye by constantly saying 5th December 1950 17th November 1973 they have never said bye-bye to those who who
Connect with them they respond just like before in in fact better mother says for shindo he’s much more accessible now after 1950 because he is now readily accessible you go to the sadii there are 20 people staying sitting there everybody’s prayers you don’t have to write write a letter and get an answer
These are mother’s words he answers to all of us simultaneously and answer is as I said the movement of Consciousness so it is not necessarily a mental answer though even that can be given so this is how or it can be translated in our minds as a
Kind of answer so this is how the asham has been so mother says another thing about the asham people say when the supermental force manifest we shall know it quite well it will be seen not necessary ly mother’s words they will not feel it any more than those people
Of little sensitivity who may pass through this place even live here without feeling that the atmosphere is different from elsewhere so living here is no guarantee living is the guarantee not living here but living that is the guarantee who among you feels it is is such a precise way in
Such a precise way as is to be able to affirm it you may feel in your heart in your thought that it is not the same but it is rather vague isn’t it but to have this precise perception and then the mother says when she came from Japan and she felt sh’s
Atmosphere 10 miles away and then again she says when she b as soon as she goes beyond the lake so she says that my atmosphere is spread around up till the lake estate she say I have I had the contrary experience also and therefore well those who are sensitive in their physical
Consciousness ought to feel that quite concretely and I can assure you that the area we call the ashram has a condensation of force which is not at all the same as that of the town and still less that of the countryside and I think all sensitive people feel it and
That’s why they come so the there are many people who say what is the point of going now to the asham very much the point because there’s something available here people come here from God knows I mean I know one story which huai was narrating to me this is his house
Where we are having these satsangs so he was saying that once he came for a very short while from the US to Surat and he had just about half a day and he asked umaben was here that I’m thinking should I come or not I have very little time
She said even if you get half an hour to sit at the samadhi you come it’s worth it and he comes he was sharing this and worth it it’s not about how much time because there is something there and this simply because it’s there tap but provided don’t mix too much with
Human beings and their human atmosphere because there are two atmospheres in the asham shind says that you mix because all human beings are products in the making know when dur pratima is in the making you can’t treat it like Dura because it is yet not it is yet in
The making so of course there are all kinds of people in different stages of evolution there are some very evolved people but best is come for the asham spend time at the samadhi the playground participate in asham activities take a Stoll on the beach sit quietly read
Library house is there there are of course satsangs there are things like that and that’s wonderful Collective meditations are there so this is a this will always remain Nita says as long as there is one person having faith its importance will remain it’s not a place which is started on this
Date and closed on that date it’s meant to be a hub in time and space to receive and transmit the supramental force with all its intensity now it’s working everywhere this is what the mother said now it is working everywhere and yet it is the place where its intensity is
Maximum so this is the whole idea so I ask you this kind of condensation of force which gives you quite a special vibration of Consciousness who is there that is really conscious of it many among you feel it vaguely I know even people from outside feel it vaguely they
Go around they said nice he felt very nice that’s okay feel it vaguely but the precise Consciousness the scientific Consciousness which could give you the exact measure of it who has that and that it changes everything do you understand so it’s a condensation of their force their Consciousness which is everywhere but
Here it’s concentrated GH that’s how one has to look at it and then she explains something very interesting in one of her Visions where she experiences the mother describes her own Vish Virat body and she describes gives go pumps when you read that full description I’ll just read a little
Bit and I saw the ashram quite clearly she sees a dazzling white that luminous body and in which several things are happening it was clearly special the asham made for special reason but whereas I seem to have an immense body that was very small very small the asham where was it located she
Describes where it is located located from the navl to the right side where the appendixes that is the area she draws a diagram and she says it’s a special formation she describes these a purple light surrounding that formation where various kinds of her lights are penetrating and leaving and doing a work
This is special purpose but to believe that her work is limited to the asham is a Folly in that v virad body it occupies a place a special place but a small place her work is going on everywhere and who knows Beyond this planet there are certain statements of
The mother and shind very passingly for example shindo casually writes in records of yoga the previous theater of evolution was Mars and who knows the next may be Venus just casually and the mother also speaks about how is the atmosphere in mass and Venus we don’t know what they preparing where
All they are preparing I’m not guessing anything not imagining I’m just saying based on their we have no clue about the kind of plan they have what all they are working where all they are working so before we ENT up enter into fantasizing but human mind has picked up
Something uh things like that we see it was a force of of with a sparkling white light at its Center the light which is the force of the Divine mother and as soon as it was well packed and concentrated inside or condensed it took on all the
Colors vibrations of every color like a materialization these colors were like a materialization of the Divine Force when it enters matter so this is how there is a special work it’s meant for a special work which we have already talked about the special section of humanity as representative
Also about the inner asham which is everywhere and then he cautions us do not judge on appearances and do not listen to what people say because these two things are misleading but if you find it necessary to go of course you can go and from an
External point of view it may be indeed wiser she’s writing to a disciple who wants to go because he is not able to stay finding your fault or their fault she says well it’s up to you but then she says moreover it is not easy to remain here people often think everything is
Provided wonderful that is a problem when everything is provided man looks for what is not provided so there are list of pleasure Comfort chaa Nana sh people miss those things Glutton pallet so everything is provided that’s true but those who are seeking all those fanciful things so she says there is in
The asham and no exterior discipline and no visible test nobody’s asking anybody how many hours you are meditating sir no you may be meditating but shind somebody say oh he meditates so much must be great sadak shind says yes he meditates on his wife you see people going and playing in
The playground coming back back laughing you don’t know what’s happening inside they very interesting stories but we’ll just stick to this but the inner test is Sever and constant a thing spoken or a thing heard is a test and it can help us grow tremendously if we take the right
Attitude this at least has been my experience and it can equally hit very hard if you take the wrong attitude it’s all about how with What attitude we take things one must be very sincere in the aspiration to surmount all egoism and to conquer all vanity in order to be able
To stay why stay even when one comes for 5 days suddenly you meet someone on the gate and suddenly you are nobody from somebody why because you are told sir then you see somebody going inside and opening a chapel there you want to walk no no no open it
There they working inside but that apart there is a reason why this is happening but the human mind can take you know all these things so there are story like that some big army officer who came and in the guest house he was sitting and started recounting you know people when they
Grow old they recount stories of past and people who are into the future or young young means future it doesn’t matter what is the age so suddenly the man who was at the reception he said please stop talking all this he took great offense he started crying why veteran talking like this
Expecting people should stand do Namaste and say Sir great nothing of that sort so these these things are inbuilt it is built like that someday you feel ah so nice I have overcome a difficulty and suddenly something will come somebody will say something a little criticism Dr talk was
Nice but you know there were these flaws 1 2 3 4 5 I’m giving random example I took your medicine and my condition became worse now if you feel bad that means your medicine and you cured very simple I don’t cure I don’t medicine is not my copyright it didn’t
Work okay I’ll change something so this is the way it works to teach us humility gratitude so surmounting egoism is a very important challenging task surmounting need desires need for pleasure that’s why Asam life is kept so busy that normally even one will not think even mother has made a movie theater okay
Go and watch movie uh because we have Saturday know those movies come sometimes nice movies sometime they saw even the cricket match uh T20 they were going to show the India Pakistan test even though it was not not the final it’s okay we have all these things
Nice sweet little things which are part of the ethos who can imagine a complete surrender is not outwardly accepted nobody asks but it is indispensable for those who wish to stick on and many things come to test the sincerity of the surrender surrender means okay now whatever happens saying
In it’s beautiful the lab of the Divine mother but sometimes she may both dirty cloth take it out no no mother this is very nice take it off then she will give us a nice scrub child is crying mother it call SA Divine soap it cleanses to the
Core mother it’s hurting I know my child don’t worry after this I’ll I’ll only make you quiet you can cry right now like Mother’s do know child is crying but mother is going on ah ha and you know she’s cleaning and after that there’s another layer of cleaning what is that the the
Towel after that she wraps and takes in the lap oh thank you Ma thank you Ma so this happens here all the time surrender child should surrender to the Divine mother and put oneself in her arm this is the way to live here so every place
Has its own rule when you go to a new country Visa There are rules you need to know you can’t say I will drive the way I drive in India no which side of the car this takes time after so many years I still get confused
Right or left because you’re used to a certain pattern so here we are used to those patterns you share things with your friend with this or that God knows how many here only sharing is with mother so wonderful and then she relieve she does everything so surrender this is the key
One single rule to keep surrendering oneself more and more however the grace and the help are always there for those who Aspire for them and their power is Limitless when received with faith and confidence that’s what is the sadhana here to surrender to Aspire to try to grow sincere more and
More and when that is there the grace and the help are there Limitless in abundance and in a way it is true everywhere finally this question as I said how the asham has over a period of time evolved for a very long time the asham was only a gathering of
Individuals each one representing something so as I spoke about the representative Natures each one had one possibility one difficulty and that’s how you see how these letters cover the entire range of humanity very surprising if you read all the letters you will connect here and there this applies to
Me this applies to me because the entire range of humanity this is the occult Arrangement how they called people and through them they have answered all the queries each one representing something but as an individual and without any Collective organization so though it seems like a collectivity it was not a
Collectivity they were like separate pawns on a chessboard united only in appearance or rather by the purely superficial fact of living together in the same place and having a few habits in common not even very many only a few each one progressed or didn’t progress according to his own capacity and with a
Minimum of relations with others so in accordance with the value of the individuals constituting this odd assemblage one could say that there was a General value but a very nebulous one and with no Collective reality that lasted for a long time very long time very long and it is only quite
Recently that the need for a collective reality began to appear now this 1957 so after 29th February 1956 this seed plot started extending because the purpose for which it was formed like a closed relatively closed community that began to change even when the children came so over a
Period of time the asham has changed many times over when children came it it changed before that hardly you could see people speaking to each other he’s saying each one was an individual then the children came they brought it completely new thing then after the Super mind the center of
Education started then the supermental manifestation so many things began to change so the outer organization has changed but also something inwardly has changed that what she’s reminding us the need for a collective reality began to appear which is not necessarily limited to the asham but Embraces all who have
Declared themselves I don’t mean materially but in their Consciousness to be Disciples of shindo and have tried to live their teaching so now this is a new thing which has taken place now all of us wherever we may be who inwardly believe that we are Disciples of shindu and want
To live the teachings are all connected so now what happens in one of us gets translated in everyone and so on and so forth and this has impacted the asham life in a certain way because all that closed concentrated life many Old-Timers used to say oh my God now there are so
Many people coming they couldn’t understand but actually this is important because now the general condition is going to rise up so I used to tell some of these oldtimers please go outside and see what’s happening outside there so many places so many people who are inwardly so beautifully progressing
Precisely because now the collectivity is not just limited to the asham life anyway that collectivity was hardly true collectivity because true collectivity is not based on anything external that’s how the mother describes it’s based on the inner adasion so wherever there are people who are turned towards mother and
Shindo and this has come in two three places I’ve just picked up of one of the passages who are open to them have declared in their Consciousness they don’t have to tell anybody outwardly that they are Disciples of shindu and the mother and who are trying to live
Their teaching now we are all together and this is what creates the inner asham so there is the inner asham in which many of us are there who is there who is not there mother knows and there are people in the outer asham who may not be
Part of the inner asham this to she has said the people who are outside who may be part of the inner asham and they come together mix together meet together sasi and eventually till all Earth will become a single plan so this the shind asham so much
More so its relevance as the Hub its relevance is not in the past asham is never an institution of the past the outer things will change but its relevance is to provide a concrete space not just for the practice of sad which is yes of course it provide that
Atmosphere but most importantly a hub of supramental condensation of the supramental forces Consciousness so that people can come recharge sh in those words recharge and then go back and then come back again recharge and go back again and to those who are devotees who love the mother and shindo where else
They will go to receive the concrete stamp of the mother and shindo physical touch you feel their breath in the atmosphere and every building where they have walked where they have put their feet where they have touched vibrates with their living presence and of course the samadhi where one feels it so very
Concretely so this the Asam and so much more which the human speech cannot describe it’s an occult miracle of the Divine mother do not try to understand it try to live it be a part of it
