Aphorism - 480, 481
480God took a child to fondle him in His bosom of delight; but the mother wept and would not be consoled because her child no longer existed.
481When I suffer from pain or grief or mischance, I say, So, my old Playfellow, thou hast taken again to bullying me, and I sit down to possess the pleasure of the pain, the joy of the grief, the good fortune of the mischance; then He sees He is found out and takes His ghosts and bugbears away from me.
With sparkling humour Sri Aurobindo endeavours to make us understand the falsehood of the ordinary human consciousness and the luminous and all-powerful joy of the Divine Consciousness we must acquire.
