Colours of Spiritual Light

Spiritually awakened people, when they meditate, see a light between

their brows or in their heart. Vivekananda saw it. When Mother gave

Darsan to the sadhaks or devotees, She sometimes used to concentrate

on them. At those moments, a spot of golden light would appear on the

devotee's shoulder. Golden light is the Light of the Supermind.

Mother used to paint all Ashram buildings pale blue. It was Sri

Aurobindo's colour, the colour of the Overmind, a plane that gave

birth to the Avatar of Krishna.

 

All lights we see are variations of sunlight. Light in the spiritual

sense is the cosmic expression of knowledge. It is spiritual light.

Sunlight is, He says, material light, light that is reflected by

Matter.

 

Before the Spiritual Light which is incandescent, says Mother, midday

will be dark. The opposite is spiritual darkness, a dense darkness.

Before that, She says, midnight is as bright as day. During

meditations, devotees see red light, purple light, white light,

golden light, etc. Mother calls Sat Purusha the Self-conscious Being.

She refers to it as the Supreme. White light is the light of the

Supreme. It dissolves hostile forces.

 

People are frightened sometimes by the activities of hostile forces

as a result of black magic. In one such house, the devotee entered

carrying burning sambrani and started calling Mother. During the tour

of the house, he saw spots of white light and suddenly a small

slanting column of white light. The terror he was feeling till then

disappeared. He made arrangements to occupy the house and carried out

a few small repairs. The workmen found some small copper plates with

writing on them. They were thrown away. A sweet presence was felt in

the house.

 

Yellow light is of the Mind. Red is of the body. Purple is the vital

light. Devotees see Mother's Feet in golden light during meditation.

On Feb. 29th, 1956 when the Supermind descended on earth, Mother was

in the Playground meditating. She saw a golden door and a golden

hammer. Lifting the hammer, She broke the door. Floods of Golden

Light descended on earth. Tamas rose from the earth and swallowed

most of the light.

 

In the normal course of the earth's evolution, says Sri Aurobindo,

Golden light is due to descend on earth in 30,000 years. This, He

says, is the Hour of God when Grace accomplishes in a year what would

otherwise take a thousand years. Maybe there is no devotee who has

learnt concentrated meditation who has not seen one form or other of

the Golden Light. It is his relation to Sri Aurobindo and The Mother.

Peace, Joy, ease, cosy comfort, inner chillness, velvety feelings,

light, Silence, etc. are the signs of their Presence.
