Instinctively (not because I think of it that way), that's how it is. not exactly failing, but changing in character, for the physical precision that normal physical sight gives is. It's the same when I look at people: I don't see them as they see themselves, I see them with the vibration of all the forces that are in them and pass through them, and quite frequently with the supreme Vibration of the Presence. But I realize that one way of seeing doesn't preclude the other. Well, I mean I can see the luminous vibration behind it. (Mother:) I just see through it, that's all. Now, I see it in a certain way - but you, with a supramental consciousness?. “But physically, for instance, you see this object. The physical eye seems then to carry in itself a spirit and a consciousness which sees not only the physical aspect of the object but the soul of quality in it, the vibration of energy, the light and force and spiritual substance of which it is made.” There is an unlimited intensity which makes all that is seen a revelation of the glory of quality and idea and form and colour. It is as if the eye of the poet and artist had replaced the vague or trivial unseeing normal vision, but singularly spiritualised and glorified, - as if indeed it were the sight of the supreme divine Poet and Artist in which we were participating and there were given to us the full seeing of his truth and intention in his design of the universe and of each thing in the universe. Its sight acquires an extraordinary totality and an immediate and embracing precision in which the whole and every detail stand out at once in the complete harmony and vividness of the significance meant by Nature in the object and its realisation of the idea in form, executed in a triumph of substantial being. (Sri Aurobindo:) “As soon as the sight, for example, becomes altered under the influence of the supramental seeing, the eye gets a new and transfigured vision of things and of the world around us. People are not aware of what I see all around in the atmosphere which surrounds us – the air that we breathe, the sun and its rays which vivify, give and impart energy to all things, how the elements work, act and influence all that exists and moves … The why and the how are no longer mysteries to be solved. (Mother:) “They have no idea of what one can see, feel, hear and perceive behind all these phenomena of Nature and the Forces which work and animate, create and impel and govern the existence of this whole creation.
