About the birthdays. There is a rhythm (one among many) in the play of the world-forces which is connected with the sun and planets. That makes the birthday a day of possible renewal when the physical being is likely more plastic. It is for this reason that Mother sees people on their birthdays.
To raise the world to God in deathless Light,
To bring God down to the world on earth we came,
To change the earthly life to Life Divine. ~ Sri Aurobindo
The best way to express one’s gratitude to the Divine is to feel simply happy. ~ The Mother
When mind is still, then truth gets her chance to be heard in the purity of the silence. ~ Sri Aurobindo
Without him, I exist not; without me, he is unmanifest. – The Mother
To know is good,
To live is better,
To be, that is perfect
~ The Mother
