Guiding Light of The Month

O Lord, how ardently do I call and implore Thy love! Grant that my aspiration may be intense enough to awaken the same aspiration everywhere: oh, may good- ness, justice and peace reign as supreme masters, may ignorant egoism be overcome, darkness be suddenly illu- minated by Thy pure Light; may the blind see, the deaf hear, may Thy law be proclaimed in every place and, in a constantly progressive union, in an ever more perfect harmony, may all, like one single being, stretch out their arms towards Thee to identify themselves with Thee and manifest Thee upon earth. - The Mother

To the Heights

The two worlds are cloven apart
And a chasm yawns between,
The deluding midworld that with its lurid shadow
Divides Heaven and Earth!

But one day they shall come close
And the lightning fire leap out
To consume the shadow track
And turn it into the gleaming path
For Heaven to descend upon earth.

(Nolini Kanta Gupta, A poem from ‘To The Heights’, Translated from French – ‘Vers Les Hauteurs’, Sri Aurobindo International Centre of Education, Pondicherry)
