![]() There is a marvelous story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle about a brave and honest army captain during the Napoleonic wars. So also, our standards of truth are relative. What one country considers beautiful or desirable is not necessarily so in another country. Most of what we call true is very much bound by culture and values. And Mother said, “What is true for Indira and for Nandini is not truth.” For most of us truth is a very relative thing. Indira had said what she thought was true about a certain political situation. Once a messenger, Nandini Satpathi, came to Mother with a message from Indira Gandhi, and told Mother the message. But by Truth, He means much more than that. For us, when something is true, we mean it is not a lie. Sri Aurobindo calls Supermind the Truth-Consciousness. When the Self-conscious Being has the Real-Idea of OM, it becomes the vibration of sound in the universe, and then the whole universe emerges out of it. The Real-Idea is a vibration of Being, Sat, that becomes whatever it wants. Hers is a power that has an inherent capacity to fulfill itself. That is the force you invoke when you call Mother. The Real-Idea is a power for accomplishment. Whatever it wills, it possesses the complete knowledge necessary for effectuation. ![]() Whatever Supermind knows, it has the power to effectuate. ![]() In Supermind, knowledge and will are one and united. By Real-Idea, Sri Aurobindo means an idea which has the full power to realize itself. Supermind creates by the Real-Idea that possesses the inherent power to realize itself in manifestation. Mind may know something but lack the will to realize it or it may will something and lack the knowledge of how to accomplish it. Mind formulates ideas, but lacks the capacity to convert all of its ideas into realities because knowledge and will are separate and distinct faculties in mind.
