September 5, 2018 – Observing Your Character

But wisdom comes, and vision grows within:

Then Nature’s instrument crowns himself her king;

He feels his witnessing self and conscious power;

His soul steps back and sees the Light supreme.

A Godhead stands behind the brute machine.

This truth broke in in a triumph of fire;

A victory was won for God in man,

The deity revealed its hidden face.

Sri Aurobindo

Savitri, Book I, Canto II, pages 20 – 21.

Observing Your Character

By carefully reading what Sri Aurobindo has written on the subject, develop a clear conception of what human perfection must be.

By closely observing your own character, become aware of what needs to be transformed in order to achieve the ideal condition. Then set to work sincerely, observing your inner as well as your outer movements. And each time you discover something that contradicts the ideal you have set for yourself, make an effort to correct it.

Blessings.
