Message of the Flower

Krishna's Light in the Subconscient

The Mother’s Comment

Soon it will no longer be Subconscient.

Spiritual Message by the Mother/ Quotes by Sri Aurobindo

At last I find a meaning of soul's birth Into this universe terrible and sweet, I who have felt the hungry heart of earth Aspiring beyond heaven to Krishna's feet.

I have seen the beauty of immortal eyes, And heard the passion of the Lover's flute, And known a deathless ecstasy's surprise And sorrow in my heart for ever mute.

Nearer and nearer now the music draws, Life shudders with a strange felicity; All Nature is a wide enamoured pause Hoping her lord to touch, to clasp, to be.

For this one moment lived the ages past; The world now throbs fulfilled in me at last.

Sri Aurobindo, Collected Poems: Krishna

All music is only the sound of His laughter, All beauty the smile of His passionate bliss; Our lives are His heart-beats, our rapture the bridal Of Radha and Krishna, our love is their kiss.
