Sm005. The Classification Of Mind

THE MOTHER OF PONDICHERRY In 1926 Aurobindo went into silence, Himself having reached new heights As a Supra-mental human being, a force That ascended to a higher level of existence. He classified the human mind, "As the ordinary man's mind The Sage's higher mind, The Rishi's super mind, " "The Yogi's intuitive mind, The higher Gods' over-mind The Super-mind above the Gods, But below the spiritual world." His yoga does not take a person, To Moksha, the final stage of one, But it purifies body, vital and mind To reach a higher Supra-mental end. He called, without consulting Mother, All his disciples there to come closer, And told them of her new appointment As the Ashram Head, on his retirement. From the time Mother took charge, She had put all her energy to manage The Ashram's busy routine duties To the best satisfaction of devotees. Mother's parents were so rich That she inherited their riches And maintained all the expenses On Ashram as well as his works. Keeping in order material things, Maintaining a library of books, Controlling a team of disciples, Were some of her daily jobs. In the beginning, she cooked And served them all good food, Besides controlling the devotees From their daily movements. It was her close supervision That brought out high discipline In that well maintained Ashram, Thus attracting people all the time.
