THE MOTHER ABOUT HERSELF

Listen to the soundrecording: 'Reminiscences' spoken by Mira Alfassa-The Mother, accompanied by her organ music

'I came to India to meet Sri Aurobindo. I remained in India to live with Sri Aurobindo. When he left his body, I continued to live here in order to do his work which is by serving the Truth and enlightening mankind to hasten the rule of the Divine's Love upon earth.'

There should be somewhere upon earth a place no nation could claim as its sole property, a place where all human beings of goodwill, sincere in their aspiration, could live freely as citizens of the world, obeying one single authority, that of the Supreme Truth; a place of peace, concord, harmony, where all the fighting instincts of man would be used exclusively to conquer the causes of his sufferings and miseries, to surmount his weakness and ignorance, to triumph over his limitations and incapacities; a place where the needs of the spirit and the care for progress would get precedence over the satisfaction of desire and passion, the seeking for material pleasure and enjoyment. In this place, children would be able to grow and develop integrally without losing contact with their soul. Education would be given not with a view to passing examinations and getting certificates and posts but for enriching the existing faculties and bringing forth new ones. In this place titles and positions would be supplanted by opportunities to serve and organize. The needs of the body will be provided for equally in the case of each and everyone. In the general organization, intellectual, moral and spiritual superiority will find expression not in the enhancement of the pleasure and powers of life but in the increase of the duties and responsibilities. Artistic beauty in all forms, painting, sculpture, music, literature will be available equally to all, opportunity to share in the joys they give being limited solely by each one's capacities and not by social or financial positions. For in this ideal place money would be no more the sovereign lord. Individual value would have a greater importance than the value due to material wealth and social position. Work would not be there as a means for gaining one's livelihood, it would be the means whereby to express oneself, develop one's capacities and possibilities, while doing at the same time service to the whole group, which, on its side, would provide for each one's subsistence and for the field of his work. In brief, it would be a place where the relations among human beings, usually based almost exclusively upon competition and strife, would be replaced by relations of emulation for doing better, for collaboration, relations of real brotherhood.
The earth is certainly not ready to realize such an ideal, for mankind does not yet possess the necessary knowledge to understand and accept it nor the indispensable conscious force to execute it.
That is why I call it a dream.
Yet, this dream is on the way of becoming a reality. That is exactly what we are doing on a small scale, in proportion to our modest means. The achievement is indeed far from being perfect, it is progressive; little by little we advance towards our goal, which, we hope, one day we shall be able to hold before the world as a practical and effective means of coming out of the present chaos in order to be born into a more true, more harmonious new life.

THE STARTINGPOINT
See here the movie 'The Startingpoint' with Mira Alfassa - The Mother

'THE TRUE SPIRITUAL LIFE BEGINS WHEN ONE IS IN COMMUNION WITH THE DIVINE IN THE PSYCHIC, WHEN ONE IS AWARE OF THE DIVINE PRESENCE IN THE PSYCHIC AND IN CONSTANT COMMUNION WITH THE PSYCHIC. THEN THE SPIRITUAL LIFE BEGINS, NOT BEFORE. THE TRUE SPIRITUAL LIFE. WHEN ONE IS UNITED WITH ONE'S PSYCHIC BEING AND CONSCIOUS OF THE DIVINE PRESENCE, AND RECEIVES THE IMPULSE FOR ONE'S ACTION FROM THIS DIVINE PRESENCE, AND WHEN THE WILL HAS BECOME A CONSCIOUS COLLABORATOR WITH THE DIVINE WILL, - THAT IS THE STARTINGPOINT. THAT MEANS THAT IT IS THE SPIRIT, THE SPIRITUAL CONSCIOUSNESS AND THE DIVINE PRESENCE WHICH GIVE ALL ITS VALUE TO LIFE, THAT WITHOUT THE SPIRITUAL CONSCIOUSNESS AND DIVINE PRESENCE LIFE HAS NO VALUE. THE SAME HOLDS TRUE FOR THE INDIVIDUAL, WHATEVER MAY BE HIS MATERIAL CAPACITIES AND THE MATERIAL CONDITIONS IN WHICH HE LIVES, HIS ONLY WORTH IS THAT OF THE DIVINE PRESENCE AND THE SPIRITUAL CONSCIOUSNESS IN HIM. AND SO FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF THE TRUTH OF THINGS, A MAN WHO HAS NO MATERIAL POSSESSIONS AND NO CAPACITIES OR REMARKABLE POSSIBILITIES, BUT IS CONSCIOUS OF HIS PSYCHIC BEING AND UNITED WITH THE DIVINE IN HIM, IS INFINITELY GREATER THAN A RULER UPON EARTH OR A MILLIONAIRE POSSESSING CONSIDERABLE MATERIAL POWER BUT UNCONSCIOUS OF HIS PSYCHIC BEING. FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF THE TRUTH, IT IS LIKE THAT. THIS IS WHAT SRI AUROBINDO MEANS: NO APPARENT AND OUTER THINGS HAVE ANY TRUE VALUE, THE ONLY THING WHICH IS VALUABLE IS THE DIVINE CONSCIOUSNESS AND UNION WITH THE SPIRIT.'
