I have observed that there is a drastic change in my level of understanding as compared to the time when I started. Even today, when I find a passage difficult to understand and when I return to it after a month, I can understand it easily. So, can you please explain the effect of His words on the human mind, its mechanism? I am asking this question because there is no effort from my side to raise my intellect; I just love Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, their teaching and mission.
That is a very correct observation which quite a few people make. The Mother has mentioned the process passingly that ‘the words create new brain cells if necessary for the understanding.’ It is due to the power contained in their words. These words literally force open the mind. Besides, love is a magic key, sufficient in itself to open the doors of knowledge and a higher understanding that arises as our mind opens to a greater Light and ascends to a higher consciousness.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
