to you - as if our distance made no difference!
On this morass you and I try to build our lives. No wonder they are cracking up. To render them safe and sound we must rebuild them on the bedrock of I am what I see I am here; what you see is just one of my regional appearances. I alone, at centre, am in a position to say what those myriad appearances are appearances of, and how different they all are from the one Reality that's given rise to them, from what I am looking out of. On this I am the sole and final authority.”

IS the world outside you - YOU are in the WORLD -
and the WORLD is in YOU ...

"You may call it a moral compass, but that is a mental construction or set of rules whether defined and stated, or undefined but understood. What is really missing is not so much something moral but what Sri Aurobindo and The Mother call the psychic or soul.
The psychic is the inner compass that works not by rules or agreed ideas,
but by a vibrational action as a filter on human action.
Sri Aurobindo stated that a complete sincerity demands that the whole being is unified around the psychic centre. The psychic can lead the transformation of the being more surely even than the awakening to the consciousness of the Oneness in All. It lets one know when a decision or an action is not in unity with the psychic by a profound sense of uneasyness. It is perfectly possible to meet beings who have had that Oneness awakening and made all sorts of spiritual realisations (or mental simulacrams of them) but are not unified around their psychic centre and are capable of action that is very egoistic, often by a glorified and magnified spiritual ego.
No transformation of the kind we aspire to - that would really create a world more
founded upon truth and living in truth - is possible without that psychic change
affecting and then ruling the being."

wife Ikbal and her mother, Suhaila al-Allaf, were gunned down in a
lay-by on remote forest road outside the village of Chevaline, near
Lake Annecy. The couple’s two young daughters survived the attack.
A local cyclist, Sylvain Mollier, was also shot dead at point-blank
range after apparently stumbling on the scene. No one has been
charged over the attack, one of France’s best-known recent unsolved
crimes.

ld is geographically one. Now, we are faced with making
it spiritually one. Through our scientific genius we have made of the world a neighbourhood;
now through moral and spiritual genius, we must make it a brotherhood."
