White Roses (Part 2)

28 February 1963

Mother, I am most eager to know what the Lord — Sri Aurobindo — is doing in the world of subtle matter. I have finished reading “The Kingdom of Subtle Matter”, Canto Two, Savitri: Is He formless?

If he were formless he would not be Sri Aurobindo. I did not say the Lord. I said Sri Aurobindo. Sri Aurobindo is a permanent Avatar of the Lord (as Krishna is).

Is the Lord everywhere and in everything?

This is correct.

Can I ever see Him?

Certainly yes, if you remember your night activities. I have seen you there sometimes. You go there but you do not remember.

Can I even see the Supreme Lord?

One day you may see the Lord also but He has not a precise particular form and He is also beyond all forms.

That is why He sends upon earth His Avatar so that the human beings can more easily meet Him, see Him and get in contact with Him.

But He is always with us all and we can all be in constant contact with Him if we do the needful which is simply to love Him.

Always with you in the Eternal Love.

The Mother

Mother, what is the difference between the Lord and Sri Aurobindo?

There is no essential difference, but the Lord is all and Sri Aurobindo is a part but conscious of the Supreme Lord of whom he is an emanation.

Where is Sri Aurobindo at the moment?

Sri Aurobindo is wherever he wants to be, because he is free; but he has a permanent home in the subtle physical (the region closest to the earth physical) where all those who wish to see him can go and see him.

What form has He got?

There, in the subtle physical, his form is similar to the one he had upon earth, but with the splendid peace of immortality.

What sort of world is the subtle physical?

This subtle physical (or true physical) is a world where things are and happen somewhat like in the physical here — but with a harmony, a beauty and a truth that do not yet exist upon earth.
