Attainment of Higher
Consciousness
§
Higher
consciousness here means supramental consciousness and still higher, Mother's
Consciousness.
§
Greatness
of Soul, genius of mind, capacity to lead the world, talents of an immortal
poetry, great art, and music are great in any sense of the word. They
are inconceivably great.
§
The
elements of Greatness are an extraordinary native endowment finding exceptional
outlet in an atmosphere of appreciative reception.
§
We
also see greatness founds and others maintain it and succeed to greatness.
§
Greatness
identified fully with its pioneering mission leads to a misconception that
greatness goes with the pioneering. It
is better to separate them, take our hats off to the pioneering greatness, but
turn our attention to all other aspects of greatness.
§
Once
they are separated, I venture to say, "After
the founding of a great ideal, a great many can rise to the top of the
achievement of greatness by dint of industry."
§
Narasimha
Rao and Morarji Desai could not have founded free India, but could succeed as
great men in their great positions.
§
In
all fields where new ground is broken like Socrates, Newton, Einstein, or
Shakespeare, we see the field full of men who deserve the attainments of
greatness in full or part, or at least in one element.
§
In
one sense, the great successors and the founding great minds are equally
endowed in all respects except the original greatness.
§
Someone
said Srinivasa Ramanujam was like a European professor except for his intuition.
§
That
I would like to call Leadership in Thought that leads to action.
§
The
Supramental force has been on earth since 1956 and is organising itself at
various levels without our knowing it.
§
It
has come down to facilitate the birth of the supramental being.
§
Genius
is at two levels or three levels below that.
A genius is to a supramental
being what a first rank boy is to a genius.
§
Prosperity
or wealth is physical vital achievement, which millions of men have achieved
over the centuries in varying measures.
§
The
capacity for success at prosperity is found in all these men warped, distorted,
in disproportion, in one element as
excess, in an impermissible organisation, etc, but invariably mixed with one or
more pronounced negative traits or endowments.
§
The
world has not yet known the theory of material success and the question of organising
a personality harmoniously with all the necessary endowments does not arise.
§
Successful
men in wealth are unorganised because they arose in response to a chaotic
atmosphere of abundant, multifaceted opportunity.
§
Now that the theory of
creation is there, its application at the vital, physical level gives us the
theory of prosperity. One who is fashioned
according to that directly enters into infinite wealth. It is SIMPLE.
§
Genius
is of the mind and that too of the Intuitive mind. The intuitive mind has in it all the strands of life, mind and spirit,
especially of the spirit. Genius has
its touch, not the full possession.
§
The
presence of the Force has FULLY established the consciousness of the Supermind in the causal, subtle
planes of earth.
§
To
look at genius and know ALL the facts or physical details it carries and make them available to
the child has a vast chance of allowing genius to flower in the child.
§
The
physical facts, material details, the social atmosphere, the psychological
freedom that attend on the achievements of genius are certainly within our
reach to provide to the children.
§
What
Nehru founded was a government not different from any other government. What Newton
discovered was a Law, not different from any other law. Their greatness lies in
being pioneers of that type of effort.
If we cannot produce that greatness, we can produce the results of that greatness,
as it is a succeeding effort and not a pioneering effort.
§
Greatness so far struggled against odds to emerge. The ordered atmosphere we offer eliminates
that struggle and true greatness too will certainly be born there.
