date? My attention has been drawn to it. It is very remarkable: 7.7.77. <span
class=GramE>Four sevens together.</span> Has it any special significance? Yes,
Mother herself once gave the meaning of these four sevens – &quot;Manifestation
and Realisation&quot;. Manifestation means the appearance of the truth, the
truth that is hidden behind somewhere, when it comes forward and shows itself,
that is manifestation. Realisation means we express this truth that has come
forward in our consciousness, make it real on the physical plane, embody it in
our external activity: in other words whatever you <i>do </i>you <i>do </i>the
truth, whatever you speak you speak the truth; the Truth first appears in your
mind, in your mental consciousness, then it <span class=SpellE>realises</span>
itself in your physical activity. Number seven has a special meaning. The
number seven gives the scheme of creation; it is the number of the worlds that
constitute creation. The creation is a globe, there are three worlds above, <span
class=GramE>that</span> is the higher hemisphere and three other below forming
the lower hemisphere. The higher worlds are as you all know Sat-Chit-Ananda, –
the Divine Existence, the Divine Consciousness and the Divine Delight. Below in
the lower half there is the mind, the vital and the body, – <i>manas, prana
</i>and <i>anna. </i>Three above, three below, in between there is another
joining the two, another principle or <span class=GramE>world,</span> it is
the Supermind, <i>Mahas. </i>The three higher worlds are invisible, beyond the
normal consciousness; they become visible mind concrete when they pass through

Supermind and become the principles of the lower hemisphere. Now these are the
seven principles of creation. Manifestation means the expression of the higher
worlds, the supreme triple principles of Sat-Chit-Ananda in the lower triple
principle of mind, life, body through the intermediary Supermind.
Mahas-Supermind is the manifestation, the beginning of the creation and <span
class=SpellE>realisatton</span> comes when the higher trinity is realised here
below and embodied in the lower trinity. That is the significance of 7. There
are four sevens. Four is the number signifying a square, fullness,
completeness.</p>

Aurobindo gave me this mantra of creation and explained it to me, as I have
done to you today, on the very day perhaps of my arrival here in <st1:City><st1:place>Pondicherry</st1:place></st1:City>
almost seventy years ago! Where were you then?</p>

find today's date also is very remarkable: 8.8.77. You have any idea? First
observe how the figures are nicely balanced, symmetrically arranged – 8.8.77. 8
<span class=GramE>equals</span> 4+4. Two eights equal 4+4+4+4, four fours; and
seven means 4+3. So how many fours are there in all? <span class=GramE>Six.</span>
There are then six fours and two threes. I said last time, four represents 
completeness, also creation; square means a complete creation, a complete 
completeness. Three, Mother said, represents the three fundamental principles of 
creation, – Sacchidananda. That is to say, first existence, you exist, you
are; next, you are aware, that is to say, you are conscious, and finally,
delight – you exist, you are conscious of your existence and you delight in
your existence. These three fundamental principles of existence that are now
behind the creation are here presented to you in this figure of a riddle as a
token, I suggest, as a symbol: the preparation of their taking a form upon
earth embodying in material existence.</p>
