4.5.67 – A Special Date

Words of the Mother

Message for 4.5.67

“Earth-life is the self-chosen habitation of a great Divinity and his aeonic will is to change it from a blind prison into his splendid mansion and high heaven-reaching temple.” – Sri Aurobindo

The Divinity mentioned by Sri Aurobindo is not a person but a condition that will be shared by all those who have prepared themselves to receive it.

Words of the Mother

May I know if the miraculous elevation of Jesus Christ to heaven celebrated by the Roman Catholics on Thursday, 4th May has any sort of connection with the great day 4.5.67? Or would it be simply a pure coincidence?

For Sri Aurobindo “coincidences” do not exist. All that happens is the result of the action of the Divine Consciousness. The Force which is at work at this moment is a Force of harmony that makes for unity – the unification of all the symbols that express the Divine Truth. (5 May 1967)

Words of the Mother

“In 1967 the Supermind will enter the phase of realising power.” What does “realising power” actually mean?

Acting decisively on the mind of men and the course of events.

Words of the Mother

Does this date (4.5.67) mark the beginning of what the Mother and Sri Aurobindo have called the new race – the race of superman?

Since a few months the children born, amongst our people mostly, are of a very special kind.

Words of the Mother

Sweet Mother, people are saying many things about the 4th of May¹ – sometimes You too are quoted. But in spite of all this, I have not quite understood its significance.

Is it necessary that it should have a significance?

Sri Aurobindo announced that from that date onwards something would happen.² And it did happen.

That is all that is needed.
