Everything is created by your mind, by yourself. What exists in your mind is what you create around you. If there is fear in your mind, there will be fear everywhere around you. If there are enemies in your mind, there will be enemies everywhere around you. It’s all in your mind.
Sri Aurobindo’s attitude was his teacher. When we are born, our teacher is born with us. Teacher means my learning nature. Your guru, your master, your guide is always inside. There is not only one guide; there are hundreds of them in you. If you are not able to listen to your inner guide, then you need an outer guide. All around us, the whole of nature is our guide.
The human body is a seed, and inside it the Divine is implanted. So, all divine potential is inside, and we all have the capability to manifest it. When the seed comes into the hands of a good gardener then the seed is safe. Otherwise, uncared for, the seed will never grow despite having the potential.
Now, is your seed packed in the bag or in Divine hands? Who is a master, aguru? He is but a gardener. The master knows how to sow the seed and what to do with it. The seed does not think about that. Millions of seeds just remain in the bag and not rot there. They are never able to manifest. Few seeds manifest. Our life is just like that. Who is your gardener? Where is your gardener?
Surrender to the Divine. Give yourself. The seed gives itself to the gardener, and that is all. How do we surrender to our gardener? The gardener could be our conscious clarity, our inner true being, or the gardener can be an outside guide.
There is no fixed way. If you can discover your conscious clarity, the clarity of your soul, then you are in the hands of the gardener. Your conscious clarity knows. Not a mental, vital, emotional, egoistic clarity, but the clarity of the soul. But how do I discover my clarity, my gardener? What is inside the seed? Light and life.
Darkness is associated with negativity, selfishness and fear. Light is associated with positivity, bliss, harmony and joy. Now the choice is yours. Would you like to struggle in the dark or bloom in the light? You choose. Inside you, there is all the darkness, and inside you, there is all the light. The choice is yours. If you think that you can grow better with darkness, you are free to choose and live with it, to deal with it. Nature gives us full freedom: Either live the whole day with sadness or make the effort to live in peace and harmony, joy and bliss.
With the experiences of life we realize the one principle: The universe and all of nature survives on the principle of expansion. We are a universe. If your life is in the hands of good forces, they will make your heart bigger, your mind bigger, everything will get enlarged metaphorically….your consciousness, thinking, feelings, emotions. Vastness will come. If you are in the hands of forces that are reducing your life, like jealously, hatred, negativity, narrowness, selfishness and greed, then you are on the opposite side. What you face and how you face it is in your and the gardener’s hands.
