Message of the Flower

Peace in the Cells

The Mother’s Comment

The indispensable condition for the body's progress.

Spiritual Message by the Mother/ Quotes by Sri Aurobindo

Certainly, peace, purity and silence can be felt in all material things—for the Divine Self is there in all.

Sri Aurobindo, Letters on Yoga - II: Peace

Peace can be brought down into the physical to its very cells. It is the active transformation of the physical that cannot be completely done without the supramental descent.

Sri Aurobindo, Letters on Yoga - III: The Descent of the Higher Powers

In Sri Aurobindo's yoga, the transformation of the body is indispensable so far as it can be done. Because the aim of this yoga is not an escape from the physical consciousness but a divinisation of that consciousness.
