To grieve is an insult to Sri Aurobindo who is here with us, conscious and alive.

December 9th 1950
We must not be bewildered by appearances. Sri Aurobindo has not left us. Sri Aurobindo is here, as living and as present as ever and it is left to us to realise his work with all the sincerity, eagerness and concentration necessary.

To Thee who hast been the material envelope of our Master, to Thee our infinite gratitude. Before Thee who hast done so much for us, who hast worked, struggled, suffered, hoped, endured so much, before Thee who hast willed all, attempted all, prepared, achieved all for us, before Thee we bow down and implore that we may never forget, even for a moment, all we owe to Thee.

Lord, we are upon earth to accomplish Thy work of transformation. It is our sole will, our sole preoccupation. Grant that it may be also our sole occupation and that all our actions may help us towards this single goal.
Mahasamadhi, Words of the Mother, CWM, The Mother.

Sri Aurobindo is alive, active, nothing changed on 5 December 1950. More than ever He guides us, like conductor does his divine orchestra, nobody almost heard him entering the podium. Belief in his departure is premature, exaggerated, how could he leave His work undone? Let us consecrate ourselves to His service, then He will have our full receptivity and we will have perfect understanding of Divine Will. Time is at His service and so are we too, being conscious of His Will is sure base for anything stable and alive. As is Sun in the Sky, so must be our consecration -exactly like fire in the lamp 🪔.
