The Mother's Invitation
The Golden Opportunity
There are, in the history of the earth, moments of transition when 
things that have existed for thousands of years must give way
to those that are about to manifest. A special concentration of the world consciousness, one might almost say,
an intensification of its effort, occurs at such times, varying according to the kind of progress to be made, the
quality of the transformation to be realised. We are at precisely such a turning-point in the world's history.
Just as Nature has already created upon earth a mental being, man, so too there is now a concentrated activity in this mentality to bring forth a supramental consciousness and individuality. Sri Aurobimdo, incarnating the supramental consciousness in a human body, has not only revealed to us the nature of the path to follow and the way to follow it in order to reach the goal, but has also by his own personal realisation given us the example; he has provided us, so to say, with the proof that the thing can be done and the time has come to do it.
His yoga is especially intended for those who have realised in themselves all that man can realise and yet are not satisfied, for they demand from life what it cannot give. Those who yearn for the unknown and aspire for perfection, who ask themselves agonising questions and have not found any definite answers to them, they are the ones who are ready for this yoga. Certain beings who, I might say, are in the secret of the gods, are aware of the importance of this moment in the life of the world, and they have taken birth on earth to play their part in whatever way they can.
