“I wish
1. personally to be eternally the perfect expression of the Supreme Divine.
2. that the supramental victory, manifestation and transformation should take place at once.
3. that all suffering should disappear for ever from the world(’s) present and future.”

The Mother/The Mother’s Centenary Works/13/42

The Mother’s above three declarations are also observed in Savitri: 
I. Perfect Expression:

“There comes no close to the finite’s boundlessness,
There is no last certitude in which thought can pause
And no terminus to the soul’s experience.
A limit, a farness never wholly reached,
An unattained perfection calls to him
From distant boundaries in the Unseen:
A long beginning only has been made.”

Savitri-69
“One day I shall behold my great sweet world
Put off the dire disguises of the gods,
Unveil from terror and disrobe from sin.
Appeased we shall draw near our mother’s face,
We shall cast our candid souls upon her lap;
Then shall we clasp the ecstasy we chase,
Then shall we shudder with the long-sought god,
Then shall we find Heaven’s unexpected strain.”
Savitri-613
“There the perfection born from eternity
Calls to it the perfection born in Time,
The truth of God surprising human life,
The image of God overtaking finite shapes.”
Savitri-661

II. Supramental Transformation:

“Awake not the immeasurable descent,
Speak not my secret name to hostile Time;
Man is too weak to bear the Infinite’s weight.
Truth born too soon might break the imperfect earth.”
Savitri-335
“Omnipotence, girdle with the power of God
Movements and moments of a mortal will,
Pack with the eternal might one human hour
And with one gesture change all future time.”
Savitri-345
 

III. Annulment of Suffering:

“Passed was the heaviness of the eyeless dark
And all the sorrow of the night was dead:”

Savitri-602

“ When unity is won, when strife is lost
And all is known and all is clasped by Love
Who would turn back to ignorance and pain?”

Savitri-633

“The Love our hearts call down to heal all strife,
The Bliss for which the world’s derelict sorrows yearn:
Thence comes the glory sometimes seen on earth,
The visits of
Godhead to the human soul,
The Beauty and the dream on Nature’s face.”

Savitri-661

 

               “The transformation, the perfection cannot for the integral Yoga be complete until the link between the mental and the spiritual action is formed and a higher knowledge applied to all the activities of our existence. That link was the Supramental or Gnostic energy in which the incalculable infinite power of the supreme being, consciousness, delight formulates itself as an ordering divine will and wisdom, a light and power in the being which shapes all the thought, will, feeling, action and replaces the corresponding individual movements.” 1

Sri Aurobindo

              “However, it was worthwhile trying the experiment. You don’t appreciate it because you don’t know how it is when it is not like that; it seems quite natural to you. But it is very difficult to know how to organise one’s own freedom oneself. Still, if you were to succeed in doing that, in giving yourself your own discipline —and for higher reasons, not in order to pass exams, to make a career, please your teachers, win many prizes, or all the ordinary reasons children have: in order not to be scolded, not to be punished, for all that; we leave out all those reasons—if you manage to impose a discipline upon yourself—each one his own, there is no need to follow someone else’s—a discipline simply because you want to progress and draw the best out of yourself, then... Oh! you will be far superior to those who follow the ordinary school disciplines. That is what I wanted to try. Mind you, I don’t say I have failed; I still have great hope that you will know how to profit by this unique opportunity. But all the same, there is something you must find out; it is the necessity of an inner discipline. Without discipline you won’t be able to get anywhere, without discipline you can’t even live the normal life of a normal man. But instead of having the conventional discipline of ordinary societies or ordinary institutions, I would have liked and I still want you to have the discipline you set yourselves, for the love of perfection, your own perfection, the perfection of your being.” 2

Sri Prasad Tripathy (Babuli Bhai) as on 2022

               He is involved in real difficulty of Odisha which took decades of effort to work out towards the dynamic fulfilment of Integral Education and has thrown himself upon the world in loving wrestle to become a channel, instrument and emanation of the Divine action, Divine love and World transformation. He has ascended from the status of an accomplished Karma Yogi or accepting and uplifting all external contacts of life through Spiritual action and movement towards the emergence of an integral Yogi, or a life in which Divine Will, Knowledge and Love are reconciled; who neither secludes himself from the ordinary human activities, nor isolates himself from mankind through the garb of Sannyasin, but wears the garb of the world and sets out in his mission which ‘cannot afford to leave unsolved the problem of the (most) outward works’3 related with right order of Life and meets all sufferings, all negations and all discords of existence through the Divine intervention.

             His Divine strength is reflected through his inspired body of truth, youth of the Soul, helpfulness for heightening the collective aspiration and calls down The Mother’s Grace and Her exceeding Ananda. He has restated integral Yoga in terms of high thrilled melodies of heavenly anthem and securely annexed them to mortal realm; filled listening ears with subtle humour of Immortal’s touch; seized wordless silence from which all sounds are born, a calm balance, right discrimination, awareness of Her world conquering secret seemingly impossible task, firm vision of things through inspired body of truth expression and structured organisation, a high Spiritual optimism and patience to unfold the truth of the Divine Mother’s Mission and unfailing clarity and humility to admit the limitation of the scope of existing infrastructure, human resource, requisite knowledge and skill in action.

             Integral Yoga proposes that songs and music can be utilised as a climber of ascending consciousness ‘on the invisible stair of sound,’4 and it will not limit itself with ‘few striving steps’4 of transient strings but changes ‘its ever new uncounted (heavenly) notes in a passion of unforeseeing discovery.’4 It keeps all the ‘unforgotten ecstasies’ born out of practice of music as ‘growing (memorable) treasure in the mystic heart.’4

            The spirit of Integral Education asks long formative period of training and justifies itself on three principles that of (1) to wait all infinity, (2) to learn endlessly, and (3) to grow uninterruptedly and his presence, example and action are extended and reproduced in fellow beings and we are here for that Divine perfection which can speak undying transcendent words that no human tongue can express; the ideas that can discover no voice on living lips; action through Divine union that would dare to shatter all mortal limitation; the purity, that will extend through multiple planes and sheaths; the lyric of Divine love, delight and beauty which will leave no heavenly joy unsung and no unimagined beauty unexplored or that beauty which the eyes cannot see; all that has to be known that no mind can ever dream or grasp.

            Sri Matriniketan Ashram collectivity owes for his (Babuli Bhai’s) single Spirit consecrated pursuit of The Mother’s work of linking existence with the Divine Consciousness and as the perfect vessel he alleviates mankind towards the knowledge and possession of Supreme Reality, followed by harmony through utter obedience and trust towards the Divine law and to his extraordinarily effective leadership which assists the multiplicity of fellow brothers in finding the free luminous play of their divine individuality and all the manifold joy of their difference in oneness.
