I had an almost detailed awareness of these myriads of cells opening to this vibration the vibration of the first sound is an absolutely special vibration (you see, above, there is the light and all that, but beyond this light there is the original vibration), and this vibration was entering into all the cells and was reproduced in them. These are my three sounds.Īnd in the beginning, during the first months that I was doing the japa, I felt them. And with the third sound comes the identification of this with That, which produces the divine life. With the second sound, the body's cells make their ‘surrender’, they give themselves. So the first sound of my mantra is the call to that, the evocation. Not the unmanifest Lord, but the Lord as he will manifest ‘tomorrow’, or in Sri Aurobindo's words, the divine manifestation in its supramental form. You see, I invoke (the words are a bit strange). (Mother to Satprem, 1960:) “I myself use it for a very special reason, because. And the rhythm of the Words quite naturally brings about a certain vibration, which in turn brings about the state.” It surges up spontaneously: as soon as the body starts walking, it walks to the rhythm of those Words. In ordinary language, the vibration of the mantra is what helps the body to enter a certain state – but it is not particularly THIS mantra: it is the particular relationship established between a mantra (it has to be a true one, a mantra endowed with power) and the body. another concretization, another amalgam, might – would of course – have another vibration. Obviously, another center of consciousness, another (how shall I put it?). But they provide an accompaniment, an accompaniment of subtle, physical vibrations, which has built up a certain state or experience, a sort of association between the presence of those words and this movement of eternal Life, that undulating vibration. I mean it would be quite inaccurate to say, “Only these Words are helpful,” no, not that. It is not so much the words in themselves as what they will represent and bring with them in their vibration. This has become an automatic accompaniment. Words that repeat themselves automatically, with no effort of will (but the body itself is quite aware that although these three particular Words happen to have been given to it, it might also have been something else – it was originally the choice of a higher Intelligence). (Mother to Satprem, 1962:) “The body has been cradled by three Words. I understood those who withdraw from everything to live that totally.Īnd it has such a transformative power! I felt that if it continued, something would happen, something like a change in the equilibrium of the body's cells.” as if the entire body were swelling – it became overwhelming. The vibration went on expanding, ever widening, as the sound itself was expanding, expanding, and all the cells of the body were seized with an intensity of aspiration. And with such a power! So I stopped everything, all movement, and I let the thing grow. It rose up in the same way, and all the cells were trembling. (Mother to Satprem, 1958:) “The other day (I was in my bathroom upstairs), it came it took hold of the entire body.
