The Moment

There are human moments spread over all life and rare divine moments.
A moment of learning is a mental moment.
Doing something afresh is a moment of the physical body.
A vital moment is when its pattern of releasing energy changes and a fresh fountain of energy opens.
As the physical, vital, and mental have their great moments, the Spirit peeps out of the being when the surface opens. It is a spiritual moment, the moment of spirit awakening.
Such an awakening of the Spirit occurs in one of these planes.
Beyond the Spirit lies the Supermind.
Man reaching the Supermind is ascent. Supermind reaching man is descent.
All those who know of The Mother are in Her consciousness which is supramental consciousness. Man reaches there by aspiration.
In moments of crisis, his very depths of being in the vital or the physical open. A call from there makes the Supermind descend which gives a further lease of life to his being wiping off any disease or problem or threat to his life.
It moments of grace it comes without calling, unobserved.
These are the Moments I speak of. They change his destiny.
Such moments are ever present in a man's mind showing as subtle impulses of great thoughts.
Should he be alert enough to catch them, aspiring enough to consecrate them, they fulfil themselves instantaneously. A miracle comes to pass.
To a dull fortunate devotee such a moment is brought by the pressure of negative development.
To a fresh cheerful devotee whose mind is naturally on Her, She comes as moments of Grace all the time.
All moments are the MOMENT to the inner eye.
To enter into the Moment, to live there forever is the movement of the soul into its own domain.
