Blossom like a flower

The will is a part of the consciousness and ought to be in human beings the chief agent in controlling the activities of the nature.

SRI AUROBINDO

Will is the power of consciousness turned towards effectuation. The Divine Will is the will expressing the highest Truth.

THE MOTHER

When I speak of the Divine Will, I mean . . . something that has descended here into an evolutionary world of Ignorance, standing at the back of things, pressing on the Darkness with its Light, leading things presently towards the best possible in the conditions of a world of Ignorance and leading it eventually towards a descent of a greater power of the Divine, which will be not an omnipotence held back and conditioned by the law of the world as it is, but in full action and therefore bringing the reign of light, peace, harmony, joy, love, beauty and Ananda, for these are the Divine Nature.
