Divine Anarchy in the Dharmic Context

Sri Aurobindo and the Mother succinctly reminds and clearly warns all who are intensely prompted by the evolutionary imperative of constant change and progress:

"320—The anarchic is the true divine state of man in the end as in the beginning; but in between it would lead us straight to the devil and his kingdom.

319—Governments, societies, kings, police, judges, institutions, churches, laws, customs, armies are temporary necessities imposed on us for a few groups of centuries because God has concealed His face from us. When it appears to us again in its truth and beauty, then in that light they will vanish." (that is, when the Divine Manifestation of the new apex species the Supramental being happens, estimated at around 300 years from 29th February 1956)

“The anarchic state is the government of everyone by himself.

“And it will be the perfect government when everyone is conscious of the inner Divine and obeys Him and Him alone.” . . .

Someone from Auroville wrote to me that he thought he had come here to obey no one but himself (or words to that effect), but he noticed there are rules and laws. And he said, “I am not going to do any of this; I am a free man and refuse to do this.” This was reported to me, naturally, so I wrote to him (I don’t remember): “One is free only when one is conscious of the Divine and conscious that it is the Divine who makes decisions in everyone, otherwise one is the slave of one’s desires, one’s habits, of all conventions….” I sent him that, and he kept quiet.

That’s what I wanted to add here [to this aphorism]. We should say: One is free only when it is the Divine who makes decisions in each of us, otherwise men are the slaves of their desires, their habits, of all conventions, all laws, all rules…. And the more they think themselves free, the more bound they are!"

    For the True Aurovilians, the Mother was the incarnation of the Supreme Divine Mother MahaShakti. She had visible control over Auroville when She was physically present. The painful reality is that when the Mother left Her physical body, there was no one to check the anarchic individuals from doing their egoistic deeds, and so the warning of aphorism 320 and the Mother's writing to the wayward "someone in Auroville" in the previous post.

    Thus aphorism 319 came into play to counter-balance some divergence from the Supramental Vision-Goal of Auroville. This see-sawing self-correcting process of perfection takes time, which is what we have been experiencing since the inception of Auroville on 28 February 1968 up to the unfolding present.

    The good news is that the Mother in Her True identity as the Supreme Divine Mother MahaShakti is ever-present supporting and modulating this Supremely Decreed Play. The ever-faithful willing servitors and Hero Warriors of the Divine Consciousness-Force know this very well.

    For all other good-willed aspirants and newcomers called to participate in the City of Dawn, a recommendation:

    As there are infinite players in The Divine Play, this Lila, both Divine and undivine in their gradations and most extreme, the Supreme Secret is to find the most reliable ally who can help you attain our Supramental Vision-Goal firstly of Self-realisation, and then to consciously and consentingly help to prepare Auroville and the Earth for all the incoming Sun-eyed Children until the Divine Manifestation of the new apex species the Supramental being happens, the full blossoming of the Golden Age, of Satya Yuga.

    And the most reliable ally and ultimate object of devotion is the Supreme Divine Mother MahaShakti. We call this the Sunlit Path of Bhakti, the easiest and most joyful path.

    That is also why the Mother, when She was still in Her physical body, insisted that Matrimandir must first be finished, as it is the Temple of the MahaShakti, a most potent manifest symbol of the collective soul of the willing servitors and Hero Warriors of the Divine Consciousness-Force. It took around 37 intense years to complete from 1971.

    After a bit of a slow development period, what we may call the lull or consolidation phase bottoming out with the covid standstill, the recent signs of recovery, of natural adjustments to renewed and upgraded circumstances, are very obvious signs that we have entered another upward phase of the evolutionary process, which is the continuous unfolding ebb and flow of Life itself. Amidst any already grounded living being’s usual resistance to change, it is only proper to remind ourselves that evolution does not stop for anyone, and that we each are inseparable complementary elements in this one ever-progressive unfoldment. Especially so with the True Aurovilian’s unique collective evolutionary Vision-Goal that states:

    “The whole earth must prepare itself for the advent of the new species, and Auroville wants to work consciously to hasten this advent.

    Little by little it will be revealed to us what this new species must be, and meanwhile, the best course is to consecrate oneself entirely to the Divine.”

    Here, to understand who the Supreme Divine Mother MahaShakti is, our best ally moving forward, and the individual and collective qualities and actions needed for the eventual Divine Manifestation:

Ultimate Aim

"Yogic Samata is equality of soul, equanimity founded on the sense of the one Self, the one Divine everywhere—seeing the One in spite of all differences, degrees, disparities in the manifestation. The mental principle of equality tries to ignore or else to destroy the differences, degrees and disparities, to act as if all were equal there or to try and make all equal. It is like Hriday, the nephew of Ramakrishna, who when he got the touch from Ramakrishna began to shout, “Ramakrishna, you are the Brahman and I too am the Brahman; there is no difference between us”, till Ramakrishna, as he refused to be quiet, had to withdraw the power. Or like the disciple who refused to listen to the Mahout and stood before the elephant, saying, “I am Brahman”, until the elephant took him up in his trunk and put him aside. When he complained to his Guru, the Guru said, “Yes, but why didn’t you listen to the Mahout Brahman? That was why the elephant Brahman had to lift you up and put you out of ha...

The Supreme Divine Mother MahaShakti

A dear friend asks, "I would like you to explain to me once more how the Mother, as Mahashakti for you, could challenge all the gods and goddesses of the creation to become the 'boss' in this active world.  You talked once about a cosmic work of surrender, it was so interesting." My answer: First of all, in essence, MahaShakti does not need to challenge the gods and goddesses, as She is the Supreme Divine Mother of ALL the cosmic beings, the Creatrix of the Cosmos Herself. Of course most of the typal gods, especially the Asuras, think they are the highest. Thus in Sri Aurobindo's Savitri, MahaShakti incarnates as Savitri to put the Asura of Death in the proper position in the Cosmic hierarchy (the Battle and the Victory of Savitri against Death). Satyavan is the symbol of the Earth Soul that Savitri saves from Death. The Mother (Mirra Alfassa) was the incarnation of MahaShakti in this world that we are in now, who prepared Earth by progressively sowing the Suprame...

That's Why

Some swirling questions especially from those not familiar with the Auroville Saga: "Why is this the Auroville of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother? Why reiterate "Man is a transitional being?" Why the need for a change of consciousness? Why prepare for the advent of the new apex species? Why the need for the Divine Manifestation? Why the need for the Supramental being? Why not just chill and let chill and have fun? Why the rebellious humans, who instead of practicing the Integral Supramental Yoga prefer fighting each other including the appointed members of the Government of Mother India with much energy, are being kicked out of Auroville? Why so many rules? Why? Why? Why?" Here's the Mother: "This terrestrial world, this human world is constantly invaded by the forces of the neighbouring world, that is, of the vital world, the subtler region beyond the fourfold earth-atmosphere; 1  and this vital world which is not under the influence of the psychic forces or...
