Power and Necessity

The Necessity of the Experience of the Destitution and Limitations of the Ignorance with the Supramental Knowledge and Action as Solution

ॐ

"128) Live according to Nature, runs the maxim of the West; but according to what nature, the nature of the body or the nature which exceeds the body? This first we ought to determine.

129) O son of Immortality, live not thou according to Nature, but according to God; and compel her also to live according to the deity within thee.

130) Fate is God’s foreknowledge outside Space & Time of all that in Space & Time shall yet happen; what He has foreseen, Power & Necessity work out by the conflict of forces.

131) Because God has willed and foreseen everything, thou shouldst not therefore sit inactive and wait upon His providence, for thy action is one of His chief effective forces. Up then and be doing, not with egoism, but as the circumstance, instrument and apparent cause of the event that He has predetermined.

132) When I knew nothing, then I abhorred the criminal, sinful and impure, being myself full of crime, sin and impurity; but when I was cleansed and my eyes unsealed, then I bowed down in my spirit before the thief and the murderer and adored the feet of the harlot; for I saw that these souls had accepted the terrible burden of evil and drained for all of us the greater portion of the churned poison of the world-ocean.

133) The Titans are stronger than the gods because they have agreed with God to front and bear the burden of His wrath and enmity; the gods were able to accept only the pleasant burden of His love and kindlier rapture.

134) When thou art able to see how necessary is suffering to final delight, failure to utter effectiveness and retardation to the last rapidity, then thou mayst begin to understand something, however faintly and dimly, of God’s workings."

"It will simply spring forth in a flash, all of a sudden, and it will be very powerful. Only power can do something. Love vanishes like water running through sand: people remain beatific … and nothing moves! No, power is needed—like Shiva, stirring, churning …"

"The first necessity is the inner discovery in order to know what one truly is behind social, moral, cultural, racial and hereditary appearances.

At the centre there is a being free, vast and knowing, who awaits our discovery and who ought to become the active centre of our being and our life in Auroville.

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

Here is the Core of this Supramental Solution, from the Supramental Kalki Avatar Sri Aurobindo and the Mother and their Auroville the City of Dawn in the bosom of Mother India the Guru of Nations.

We all as one unfolding movement continue on towards the Life Divine...

ॐ

Ultimate Aim

Image
"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...

A Shared and Lived Divinity

"The Divinity mentioned by Sri Aurobindo is NOT A PERSON… He insisted a lot on this. “… is not a person, but a condition to be shared and lived by all those who prepare themselves for it.” To those who "are silly, they still feel, “Oh, if I could stay very quiet, then I would change.” They need a slap. That’s all. There's still some friction." From who, again? Here, for those who still don't get it: "There was a rather interesting phenomenon (it was yesterday or the day before), amusing little details: now the last member of the Government of India has been converted, so to speak. All the members of Government (the Central Government—I don’t mean the whole country, but of the centre), all the members of the Central Government are … (what should I say?) I could almost say “apprentice disciples of Sri Aurobindo,” with a great goodwill to serve. And everywhere, everywhere in the world, the signs of a CONSCIOUS goodwill awakening." "And then, resistanc...

The Supramental Solution

Image
"What is the solution?" Amidst the intense collective churnings, this question was again asked by another aspiring True Aurovilian, and surrender as an answer is highlighted. This Sunlit Path of Surrender or Bhakti has always been the anchor of Auroville’s Three Core Ideal Vision-Goals. ¹ But surrender to who and for what? Here are our Avatar founders Sri Aurobindo and the Mother for guidance: "But something has happened in the world’s history which allows us to hope that a selected few in humanity, a small number of beings, perhaps, are ready to be transformed into pure gold and that they will be able to manifest strength without violence, heroism without destruction and courage without catastrophe. But in the very next paragraph Sri Aurobindo gives the answer: “If man could once consent to be spiritualised.” If only the individual could consent to be spiritualised… could consent." ² "And even this unification which already demands a return to the Spirit...
