Don’t ever take lightly all the circumstances of each day, all the tiny little things of life, all the small events, you know; never take all this lightly. Never react with your lower being. Each time you are told to do something or not to do it – you are not told this very often, but each time you are told, before reacting think a little, try to find in yourself the part which reacts. Do not react just like that with what is most commonplace in you. Enter within yourself, try to find the best in yourself and with this you must react. It is very important, it is very important.
The Mother
Sri Aurobindo insisted on ‘stepping back’. The Mother told us to self-observe in order to modify our attitudes. All these, so that we can successfully resist and win over the pull of lower planes’ forces which try to feed on our wrong and rash reaction.
It’s always safe, especially in this kind of situation to call on the Mother’s Grace.
Om Anandamayi Chaitanyamayi Satyamayi Parame. (Mantra given by Sri Aurobindo)
Many many thanks.
I needed this very much. I suppose most people need to know this. Sufferings in the world can significantly be reduced if everyone remembers and practice this.
