=Body Consciousness and Subtle Physical=
<center>Om, Supreme LordTake Possession of these There is a consciousness in the cellsTake possession of this BrainTake possession of this : it is what we call the “body consciousness” and it is wholly bound up with the body.

There is a subtle physical also with a subtler consciousness in it which can (vāyur anilam amrtam athedam bhasmāntaṁ śarīram om krato smara krtam smara krato smara krtam smara. 17The Breath for instance) go to a distance from the body and yet feel and be aware of things is an immortal Life, but of this body ashes are the endin a not merely mental or vital way.

=What To make this obscurity luminous and directly instrumental to the higher planes and to the divine movement is Cellular Consciousness?=what we mean in Integral Yoga by making the body conscious,—that is to say, full of a true, awake and responsive awareness instead of its own obscure, limited half-subconscience. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-physical-consciousness#p9</ref>
What is the body consciousness? The vital consciousness, of course—the physical consciousness as a whole. In this physical consciousness as a whole, there is the physical mind—a mind that is occupied with all the ordinary things and responds to everything around you. There is also the vital consciousness, which is the awareness of sensations, impulses, enthusiasms and desires. Finally, there is the physical consciousness itself, the material consciousness, the body consciousness, and that is the one which has so far never been entirely transformed. The overall consciousness of the body has been transformed, that is, one can throw off the bondage of thought, of habits that one no longer considers inevitable. That can change, it has been changed. This transformation is commonly known as Self-realization or Nirvana But what remains to be changed is the consciousness of the cells.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/15/6-january-1951#p5</ref>. ==Cells==
As there is The cells are an individual consciousnessalready very developed thing, there is they are a group consciousness and form of LIFE in Matter; they are a consciousness form of life, they’re not purely material, inert Matter. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/agenda/05/august-26-1964#p64</ref>The cells have an inner composition or structure which corresponds to the systemstructure of the universe. The cell, in its internal composition, a universal consciousness which is made up receives the vibration of the set corresponding state in the composition of all the consciousnesses composing it, plus something more subtlewhole. In your body; each Each cell has its own consciousness is composed of different radiances, with a wholly luminous centre, and the connection is established between light and you have a consciousness which light. That is , the consciousness of your total individualitywill, the central light, acts on the cell by touching the corresponding lights, though made up by an inner contact of all these small cellular consciousnessesthe being. Each cell is a world in miniature corresponding to the whole. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/0712/13mothers-action-in-a-class-of-children-aged-sixteen-julyto-1955eighteen#p6p44</ref>
=Why is Cellular Transformation Important for Evolution?==Treasures in the Body===
All other Yogas regard this In the body there are invaluable and unknown treasures. In all its cells, there is an intensity of life as an illusion or a passing phase; , of aspiration, of the supramental Yoga alone regards it as a thing created will to progress, which one does not usually even realise. The body-consciousness would have to be completely warped by the Divine for a progressive manifestation and takes the fulfilment action of the life mind and vital for it not to have an immediate will to re-establish the equilibrium. If one leaves one's body for its object.The supramental is simply alone without intervening with all those thoughts, all the vital reactions, all the depressions, and also all the Truthso-Consciousness called knowledge and mental constructions and fears—if one leaves the body to itself, spontaneously it will do what it brings is necessary to set itself right again.The body in its descent natural state likes equilibrium, likes harmony; it is the full truth other parts of life, the full truth of consciousness being which spoil everything. <ref>http://incarnateword.in Matter. /cwm/06/19-may-1954#p42</ref>
The utmost Ananda the body and life are now capable ===Transparency of is a brief excitement of the vital mind or the nerves or the cells which is limited, imperfect and soon passes; with the supramental change all the cells, nerves, vital forces, embodied mental forces can become filled with a thousand fold Ananda, capable of an intensity of bliss which passes description and which need not fade away. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/bhakti-yoga-and-vaishnavism#p42</ref> Cells===
The problem I am preoccupied with is building that supramental consciousness So IT becomes At the being. It's that consciousness which must become centre of each cell lies the beingDivine Consciousness. That's what's important…. And in order to do thatBy aspiration and repeated self-giving, all the consciousness contained in these cells must aggregate, form and organize itself into an independent conscious entity—the consciousness in the cells must aggregate and form into a conscious entity capable of being conscious of Matter as well as conscious of the Supramentalbe made transparent. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/agendacwm/1316/april18-26march-19721967#p104p2</ref>
=How to Start the Journey of Cellular Transformation? Death=
There are certain qualities/practices that one has The consciousness is, by its very nature, immortal, and in order to imbibe manifest in the physical world, it assumes more or less lasting material forms. The material substance is in course of transformation in order to bring become a multiform and increasingly perfect and lasting mode of expression for this consciousness.<ref>https://incarnateword.in Supramental transformation /cwm/12/mothers-action-in body they are- a-class-of-children-aged-sixteen-to-eighteen#p17,p18,p19</ref>
== QuietudeDispersion of the Cells==
You must always try When the concentration which forms the body comes to keep an end and the body dissolves, all the quietudecells that have been especially developed and have become conscious of the divine Presence within them, not allow depressing or disturbing thoughts or feelings to are scattered and enter you or take hold other combinations in which they awaken, by contagion, the consciousness of your mind or your speech…And if the mind keeps its quietude Presence that each one has had. And in this way, by this phenomenon of concentration, development and receptivity to higher forces onlydispersion, it can then easily pass on that quietude all matter evolves and receptivity to learns by contagion, develops by contagion, has the experience by contagion. Naturally, the cell dissolves with the body . It is the consciousness and even to of the material cells of the bodythat enters other combinations. <ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwsacwm/3112/illnessmothers-action-in-a-class-of-children-aged-andsixteen-to-healtheighteen#p62p36,p37</ref>
The second condition is =How to call the light, a light of equilibrium, a light of peace, quietude and balance, and be Awake to push it into all the cells Consciousness of the body, enjoining them not to be afraid, because that again is another condition.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/07/11-may-1955#p12</ref>Cells?=
==Aspiration==If we live only in the outward physical consciousness, it may descend and work behind the veil but we shall feel nothing and only see certain results after a long time. Or at most we feel a certain clarity and peace in the mind, a joy in the vital, a happy state in the physical and infer the touch of the Divine. But if we are awake in the inward physical, we shall feel the light, power or Ananda flowing through the body, the limbs, nerves, blood, breath and, through the subtle body, affecting the most material cells and making them conscious and blissful and we shall sense directly the Divine Power and Presence.<ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-physical-consciousness#p12</ref>
At The near totality of the body’s movements are movements of habit. Behind, there is the consciousness of the physical mind (what I call the “cellular mind”) which is constantly conscious of the divine Presence and anxious to allow nothing but That; then a whole work is going on to change, to shift the centre origin of movements. I mean that instead of them being just automatic; out of each cell lies habit, the Divine divine Consciousness. By aspiration and repeated self-giving, Presence automatically makes the cells must be made transparentmovements . <ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwmagenda/1608/18june-march24-1967#p2,p3,p4,p5,p6</ref>
== Peace==A body that is left to its natural spontaneity has an urge, an aspiration, a spontaneous will to call for help. But as soon as the affair goes to the head, it takes the form of things to which one is accustomed: everything is spoilt. But if the body is seen in itself, just as it is, there is something which suddenly wakes up and calls for help, and with such a faith, such an intensity, just as the tiny little baby calls its mamma
The peace and spontaneous knowledge are in body will be able to repeat integrally the experience of the most spiritual part of the psychic being , as the inner spirit has already done, and from there they spread will itself be able to mind and vital and physical. It is stand in the outer physical its bodily consciousness that before the difficulty still tries supreme Reality, turn to persist it integrally and brings the restlessness sometimes into the physical mind, sometimes into the nervessay in all sincerity, sometimes in the shape a total self-giving of bodily trouble into the bodyall its cells: "To be Thyself—exclusively, perfectly—Thyself, infinitely, eternally... very simply. But all these things can and must go"<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsacwm/3109/levels-of-the29-physicalmay-being1957#p70p17</ref>Peace can be brought down into The cells which are able to vibrate to the physical contact of divine joy, to its very receive and preserve it, are regenerated cellson the way to becoming immortal. It is But the active transformation vibration of divine joy and those of pleasure cannot lodge together in the same vital and physical that cannot be completely done without the supramental descentsystem. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsacwm/3106/levels25-ofaugust-the-physical-being1954#p70p9</ref>
==Japa and Mantra==
One just has to repeat the japa, and automatically one makes contact. That's something the cells value a lot. A lot. It's a very good way, because it's a way that isn't mental, it's a mechanical way, it's a question of vibration.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/agenda/05/october-10-1964#p48</ref> For the moment, of all the formulas or mantras, the one that acts most directly on this body[Mother’s body], that seizes all the cells and immediately does this (vibrating motion) is the Sanskrit mantra: OM NAMO BHAGAVATEH.(12)
<ref>http://incarnateword.in/agenda/01/september-16-1958#p44</ref>
So the first sound of my mantra is the call to that, the evocation. With the second sound, the body's cells make their' surrender,' they give themselves. And with the third sound comes the identification of this [the body] with That, which produces the divine life. These are my three sounds. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/agenda/01/october-11-1960#p17</ref>
==WidenessPeace==
A peace all the same, a real peace, a concrete, concrete stillness. So the thing to be done is to remain very objective within that peace; then you can benefit from the peace without accepting its limits. One should, for instance, be able to keep that peace in the cells (''the brain cells if you feel tired'') without allowing yourself to be enclosed like that. There is no need to struggle, just remain turned upward. There is always a vibration subtler than his vibration of peace, and that one must remain free, without getting enclosed in the other. For example, if something pulls and causes a mental tension in the head, just keep in contact with that peace (oh, he does have a capacity of mental immobility), and let it penetrate you, but without concentrating all your being on it: allow the rest of your activity to unfold as usual in an infinity. It’s only the vibrations of the physical mind that you should keep in that stability.<ref>https://incarnateword.in/agenda/04/april-16-1963#p3,p4</ref> ==Aspiration and Reception== You can be at once in the state of aspiration, of willing, which calls down something—exactly the will to open oneself and receive, and the aspiration which calls down the force you want to receive—and ''at the same time'' be in that state of complete inner stillness which allows full penetration, for it is in this immobility that one can be penetrated, that one becomes permeable by the Force. Well, the two can be simultaneous without the one disturbing the other, or can alternate so closely that they can hardly be distinguished. But one can be like that, like a great flame rising in aspiration, and at the same time as though this flame formed a vase, a large vase, opening and receiving all that comes down. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/21-april-1954#p26,p27,p29</ref> ==Wideness, Calmness and Descent== Wideness and calmness are the foundation of the Yogic consciousness and the best condition for inner growth and experience. If a wide calm can be established in the physical consciousness, occupying and filling the very body and all its cells, that can become the basis for its transformation; in fact, without this wideness and calmness the transformation is hardly possible.<ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/peace-the-basis-of-the-sadhana#p20p18</ref> ==Surrender== I have noticed something very interesting. Suppose there is a pain, some sign or other that something in the body is out of order. In the consciousness—in the consciousness—you are absolutely indifferent, which means that whether it’s life or death, disease or health, there is equality; but if the body reacts according to its old habit, “What should be done to get over it?”If, on the other hand, the cells have learned their lesson and say right away, “Lord, Your presence” (without words—the attitude), pfft! the thing goes. It's no use if the thought does it, if the psychic consciousness, EVEN THE PHYSICAL CONSCIOUSNESS, does it: it must be the cells that do it. So the one who does it in the thought says, "Here, I give myself to the Divine, I am ready for anything, I am in a state of perfect equality, and still I am ill! So what am I to believe?" …there should instantaneously be, wherever a disorder has occurred for some reason or other, this: "Lord—Lord, this is You; Lord, we are You; Lord, You are here"—everything flies away. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/agenda/06/november-23-1965#p21</ref>
=Supramental Body=
The supramental body which has to be brought into being here has four main attributes: lightness, adaptability, plasticity and luminosity.
 
Lightness: When the physical body is thoroughly divinised, it will feel as if there is no heaviness or tamas or unconsciousness in it.
 Power of adaptability: in In whatever conditions it is placed it will immediately be equal to the demands because its full consciousness will drive out all that inertia and incapacity which drag on the Spirit matter.  Supramental plasticity : It will enable it to stand the attack of every hostile force. Thus it will suffer no harmful consequences and the most deadly attacks will leave it unscathed.  Luminosity : Lastly, it will be turned into the stuff of light, each cell will radiate the supramental glory. Not only those who are developed enough to have their subtle sight open but the ordinary man too will be able to perceive this luminosity. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/true-humility-supramental-plasticity-spiritual-rebirth#p2 </ref> '''Content curated by Rupal'''
