Supramental light

(Shyam Sundar:) “The physical light does not hide itself, but the supramental Light which is greater can hide itself. It is a mystery for man.

(Mother:) The physical eyes are not made to see the supramental light, that is why they cannot see it. But that human being whose inner senses are awakened, can see the supramental light when he wants to – it never hides itself.”

(Mother:) “Supramental light in the subconscient: essential condition for transformation.”

(Mother, 1956:) “This evening the Divine Presence, concrete and material, was there present amongst you. I had a form of living gold, bigger than the universe, and I was facing a huge and massive golden door which separated the world from the Divine.
         As I looked at the door, I knew and willed, in a single movement of consciousness, that ‘the time has come’, and lifting with both hands a mighty golden hammer I struck one blow, one single blow on the door and the door was shattered to pieces.
         Then the supramental Light and Force and Consciousness rushed down upon earth in an uninterrupted flow.”

(Mother, 1953:) “The Supermind had descended long ago — very long ago — into the mind and even into the vital: it was working in the physical also but indirectly through those intermediaries. The question was about the direct action of the Supermind in the physical. Sri Aurobindo said it could be possible only if the physical mind received the supramental light: the physical mind was the instrument for direct action upon the most material. This physical mind receiving the supramental light Sri Aurobindo called the Mind of Light”

(Mother to sadhaks, 1929:) “If you go deep into silence, you can reach a level of consciousness on which it is not impossible for you to receive answers to all your questions. And if there is one who is consciously open to the plenary truth of the supermind, in constant contact with it, he can certainly answer any question that is worth an answer from the supramental Light. The queries put must come from some sense of the truth and reality behind things. There are many questions and much debated problems that are cobwebs woven of mere mental abstractions or move on the illusory surface of things. These do not pertain to real knowledge; they are a deformation of knowledge, their very substance is of the ignorance. Certainly the supramental knowledge may give an answer, its own answer, to the problems set by the mind’s ignorance; but it is likely that it would not be at all satisfactory or perhaps even intelligible to those who ask from the mental level. You must not expect the supramental to work in the way of the mind or demand that the knowledge in truth should be capable of being pieced together with the half-knowledge in ignorance. The scheme of the mind is one thing, but Supermind is quite another and it would no longer be supramental if it adapted itself to the exigencies of the mental scheme.”

(Mother to Mona Sarkar:) “With the Supramental begins the higher world or the world of knowledge, that means the world of true Knowledge. Now that I have opened the door that was closed, the door of the Supramental world, from where flows the golden Light, and that the New Consciousness begins to enter the terrestrial atmosphere to change this world which is dominated by ignorance, into something more true, more durable and permanent, the human elements with their pettinesses, their contradictions, revolts and maledictions will be replaced gradually by the Divine Love, by the Light of Truth which will penetrate the human consciousness to transform man's life, and the knowledge that is not distorted will be his guide to assure his victory.”
