Preparing for the Miraculous

260 eleven talksThe Mother wrote: “Without him, I exist not; withoutme, he is not manifest.” 59 (Cf. Sri Aurobindo: “There is oneforce only, the Mother’s force – or, if you like to put it likethat, the Mother is Sri Aurobindo’s Force.”) “Sri Aurobindoand I are always one and the same consciousness, one andthe same person.” 60 “When in your heart and thought youwill make no difference between Sri Aurobindo and me,when to think of Sri Aurobindo will be to think of me and tothink of me will mean to think of Sri Aurobindo inevitably,when to see one will mean inevitably to see the other, likeone and the same Person – then you will know that you beginto open to the supramental force and consciousness.” 61And at one time she unified in writing both their names inthe mantric formula “mothersriaurobindo is my refuge”. 62All this is of crucial importance because the mission ofSri Aurobindo and the Mother was to effect the transition ofour human world to a new, supramental world, to “the lifedivine.” The supramental being will be a-sexual, sexualityhaving been a means of Nature to render the evolution oflife possible. This is the reason why the Avatar of the Supermind,transcending the evolutionary sexuality, had to bemale/female in one, while still, because of the evolutionarynecessity, incarnated in two bodies. The Mother’s remarkabout the white warrior with the halberd, a figure of her ownvital, also refers to this: “He was a-sexual, by which I meanthat he was neither female nor male.” And those familiarwith her work in the Ashram will no doubt remember how,in the youth of the Ashram School, she worked to create amentality surpassing the common sexual attitudes in orderto prepare them for the transition to an asexual species.59 Words of the Mother, vol.
