advice (be calm, focus, etc) because they pertain to psychological situations
we all face from time to time.

they have purposely elucidated on the same idea across various books. Later in
life, Sri Aurobindo preferred to express himself in poetry like Savitri rather
than write prose. The Mother’s recorded talks were intended to clarify Sri
Aurobindo’s writings so they are complementary to his writings. The Mother also
said, “It is not by books that Sri Aurobindo ought to be studied but by
subjects – what he has said on the Divine, on Unity, on religion, on evolution,
on education, on self-perfection, on supermind, etc, etc." (CWMCE, Vol 12, p
208)

Sanatana Dharma XXXI—Varuna-Mitra and the Truth by
Sri Aurobindo
This
is a paraphrase of the text of Chapter Seven of Sri Aurobindo’s The
Secret of the Veda. It presents the role of Vayu and Indra and then of
Varuna and Mitra in the Vedic conception of the supramental consciousness which
is the condition of the state of immortality. If there is the preparation first
of the vital forces represented by Vayu, and of the mentality by Indra, then
Varuna and Mitra are two of the four gods who represent this working of the
Truth in the human mind and temperament. It is by the thought that Indra and
Vayu have been called upon to perfect the nervous mentality. But this instrument,
thought, has itself to be perfected, enriched, clarified before the mind can
become capable of free communication with the Truth-Consciousness. To realize
this Varuna and Mitra, Powers of the Truth, are invoked for "accomplishing
a richly luminous thought", dhiyam ghṛtācīm sādhantā. All
this is based on the central Vedic conception of the Supramental or
Truth-Consciousness towards which the progressively perfected mentality of the
human being labours as towards a consummation and a goal. The two opening hymns
of the Rig Veda already state this great conception of the supramental
consciousness as the condition of the state of immortality. In the first hymn
this is simply stated as the aim of the sacrifice and the characteristic work
of Agni. The second hymn indicates the preliminary work of preparation, by
Indra and Vayu, by Mitra and Varuna, of the ordinary mentality of man through
the force of the Ananda and the increasing growth of the Truth. more »
