A visitor asked Sri Bhagavan about the ‘over-mind’, and ‘super-mind’,
the ‘Psychic’, the ‘Divine’ of Sri Aurobindo’s terminology.
M.: Realise the Self or the Divine. All these differences will disappear.

Babu Rajendra Prasad said: I have come here with Mahatma Gandhiji’s
permission and I must return to him soon. Can Sri Bhagavan give me
any message for him?
M.: Adhyatma sakti is working within him and leading him on. That
is enough. What more is necessary?

Explaining the opening stanza of Sad Vidya, Sri Bhagavan said: Sat
(Being) is Chit (Knowledge Absolute); also Chit is Sat; what is, is only
one. Otherwise the knowledge of the world and of one’s own being
will be impossible. It denotes both being and knowledge. However,
both of them are one and the same. On the other hand, be it Sat only
and not Chit also, such Sat will only be insentient (jada). In order
to know it another Chit will be needed; such Chit being other than
Sat cannot be. But it must be. Now taking Chit to be Sat, since Sat
is Jada, Chit also becomes jada which is absurd. Again to know it
another Chit is required, which is also absurd.
Therefore Sat and Chit are only one and the same.

An Arya Samajist from Bangalore with a companion visited Sri
Maharshi. He asked: What is the use of yoga-practice? Is it for
personal use or universal benefit?
M.: Yoga means union of two entities. What are they? Enquire. Use
or benefit is in relation to some centre. What is it? Enquire.
