Sri Aurobindo and Mother to Prithwi Singh

Undated

(The following four texts are not letters, but from Prithwi Singh's diary.)

How clearly do I feel to-day, Mother, that my work has ended. The responsibility has ceased to be mine. The work belongs to Thee and Thine the responsibility. All the ordinary motive-forces behind my work have now dwindled into non-entity and it is but Thy Energy that has taken charge of the machinery. This seizure of the being by Thyself has been effected in the inner levels of consciousness and the Power is now asserting Itself victoriously, marching forward triumphantly, conquering plane after plane and ruthlessly smiting down all forces that oppose the onward march. It is because of this rapid progression of Thy consciousness that this feeling of the cessation of my work has become so strong. The persistence of the outer being in its egoistic play is there by habit and the outer crust may fall off any moment when the pressure from within is impetuous. The inner movements of the nature are definitely becoming more and more concentric and the Time is ahead when the realisation of the Psychic Self in all Its luminous amplitude will become the sole aim and object of life. This concentric movement has sounded a death-knell of all egoistic ways of activity and prepared the conditions for an eventual efflorescence of Thy supreme Self.
