May 18, 2011 – The Divine is in You

Discipleship to God the Teacher,
sonship to God the Father,
tenderness of God the Mother
clasp of the hand of the divine Friend,
laughter and sport with our Comrade and boy Playfellow,
blissful servitude to God the Master,
rapturous love of our divine Paramour,
these are the seven beatitudes of life in the human body.
Canst thou unite all these in a single supreme &rainbow-hued relation? .
Then hast thou no need of any heaven and thou exceedest the emancipation of the Adwaitin.

Sri Aurobindo

(Thoughts and Aphorisms 475)

The Divine is in You

If you could find, in each one of you, your psychic and unite with it, all the problems would be solved.

The psychic being is the representative of the Divine in the human being. That’s it, you see- the Divine is not something remote and inaccessible. The Divine is in you but you are not fully conscious of it… It acts now as an influence rather than as a Presence. It would be a conscious Presence, you should be able at each moment to ask yourself… how the Divine sees, and then how the Divine wills, and then how the Divine acts. And it is not to go away into inaccessible regions, it is right here. Only, for the moment, all the old habits and the general unconsciousness put a kind of covering which prevents us from seeing and feeling. You must… you must lift, you must lift that up.

Infact, you must become conscious instruments…conscious…conscious of the Divine.
