The author is a student of Aurobindo's and 'The Mother'. Aurobindo's experience and description have an uncommon breadth and depth to them. Where most disciplines stop (Nirvana) Aurobindo is just getting started. This book is well written in readable english. Satprem does a fine job of presenting some history of Sri Aurobindo as well as the core teachings of this rare individual.

Sri Aurobindo was, in the opinion of many yogis, the greatest saint who was generally available to the public in modern times. (The caveat is because there are great souls who prefer to remain hidden.) Though his wisdom was vast and his discoveries in deep meditation greatly advanced our understanding of humanity's capabilities, his writings are so huge and dense, that comparitively few have understood the majesty of the man's philosophy. That is why Sat Prem's book is so valuable. You will never find a more succinct or readable tome on Aurobindo. It is the perfect introduction to the work of this great master, who deserves to be much better known in the West.

The writings of Aurobindo are enormous. As much as one might wish to bathe in the wisdom of this extraordinary man, the task is too much for most of due to the massive tomes we would confront. However, Satprem has magnificently synthesised the life work of Aurobindo. Not only has he accomplished this task well, but the subtelty, the depth of vision that Satprem manages to convey, says to me that he is himself someone who has great insight, has great life experience and spiritual maturity.

A have dificulty to write, but I read well

Truly a great book, perfect for someone already familiar with Intergral Yoga and Satprem or for anyone who just asks the bigger questions in life. As always Satprem is inspirational and easy to read. I "swallowed" this one in virtually just a day.

The Mind of the Cells, edited by Satprem, gives us a glimpse into the extrordinarily clear perception The Mother held in her waking life. Her notations give us passge into our own perceptions that we might question and learn from them, eventually to find ourselves as Universally SO as she did while recording these moments in time-beyond-time. I recommend this book for anyone concerned about dying. More, it is for those concerned about Living Consciously and making healthy transitions at every life stage. Satprem's commentaries are not as radiant as The Mother's own words, but his notes give the reader clear insight into her daily life in the World as Spirit living a Real Human life. This book makes an excellent gift for any Student of The Work.

An indeniable help in clarifying the so called "mystic" experience, the "enlighted experience. The mental of the cell brings the seeker back his/her sole reality: the body' the physical vessel of existence: the cell, that infatigable creator.
the cell and it's primary "program" submited to a continuous, repetitive replication of itself in its struggle for survival.
the cell imbecillitated by the force of Habit. the cell stubborn and blinded, unfolds its DNA in a way viable with the environment...from the cell to the borders of the universe: the same fabric. the same continuum, the same conscience. As a thread in the fabric, human intelligence, THE tool at hand for our specie to participate consciously into the process of evolution, the process of change. Satprem, as Mother's witness, relates her 50 years of experimenting inner conscious metamorphosis. The most sublime bath taken into the Here/Now.
For those who are willing to BE their own conscience and the universal conscience, meet with Mother and Mother's experiment. She will remind you that the only laboratory for what is seeked as "spiritual change" is the cell itself. The work is to be done at the physical level.It is the re-creation, the re-organization of the conglomerate matter that forms the body which will allow a "spiritual" change.
