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 harm’s way.”
In the manifestation there are two sides to the Truth and you cannot ignore either."
Sri Aurobindo
Thus follows the Samatā of the Hero Warriors.
Leading to the Ultimate Aim of the integrated Core Ideal Vision-Goals of Auroville with the invited participants aspiring To Be True Aurovilians:
"The whole earth must prepare itself for the advent of the new species, and Auroville wants to work consciously to hasten this advent."
https://auroville.org/page/core-documents
And the members of the Central Government of Mother India know exactly and support fully this Ultimate Aim:
https://youtu.be/XjIAoE5i66Q?si=9V-kVWRHp-mv3J-T
"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."
https://incarnateword.in/agenda/08/may-6-1967
A formidable army of Willing Servitors and Hero Warriors of the Divine Consciousness-Force consciously preparing Auroville the City of Dawn for the Divine Manifestation of the new apex species the Supramental being.
Thus one of many warnings of the Mother to anyone resisting the future and all elements of the past that seeks to endure:
"No human will can finally prevail against the Divine's will.
Let us put ourselves deliberately and exclusively on the side of the Divine and the Victory is ultimately certain."

You published in Auroville News and Notes the poetic statement you wrote replying to me in the comment section of another post here on your blog, but the link you left after the statement is to this post, not that one, and could you explain why? We had a conversation in both poetry and prose that would not only put your statement in the context of its writing but also one that others in the community would benefit from, as it’s one about the spirituality of Auroville, different perspectives on it and on the founders of the city.
ReplyDeleteMy expressions of Bhakti to the Supreme are shared in many social channels even before appearing on News & Notes or on the post you are referring to. As all are interdependent, interconnected and integrated, consciousness and life spontaneously and dynamically unfold. Simply put "Prime Objective" equates to "Ultimate Aim". It just depends on the level of receptivity of each unique individual how the twined unfolding movements are perceived.

Since I did not see a date after the statement "Prime Objective" in your comment, which you renamed for whatever reason, I assumed it was written in reply to my poem comment. Was it? At least answer that question. Here is a poem reply to your present comment, which came spontaneously before I read your reply. It begins with you asking me a question, and then the rest of the poem is my question to you and my answer to your question.
ReplyDeleteAll Integral Yoga
I Was Parked There
What are you talking about
in your big verbose message?
What are you tryin’ to say?
You are an instrument of God’s fire?
Only the fire knows
if you’re lost there or not,
or if you’ve traded in the yoga for pride,
if that’s the Integral Yoga or not.
The fire breathes.
Does it?
Is that yours?
This yoga,
can we all stumble on it?
A living laboratory
I’ve just really messed up.
I exploded the case.
I put it down and start over,
and I still can’t make it right.
I’ve tried for sincerity but failed
in all the quagmire
of resistance still.
A sudden surrender,
I can’t get that milk,
and in the long overhaul
surrender’s a byword
for the ego slows.
Earth’s roots are too complicated,
and when you get down to the wire,
you don’t get back from it alright.
You’re wounded and sewn,
and the Hostile Powers override
damages the sun.
You just fall
into the same traps laid by men.
You’re testin’ the world,
and it fights back at yah.
You get on the brink
of sudden change,
and it doesn’t last long
the epiphany,
and you get larger consciousness for a moment,
and it all falls asunder.
These are the high rides
that makes you question change.
Does it always come back down to this,
you’re defeated?
A pound of yoga’s worth smalls,
and we can’t get any better than that
despite our big words and bright intentions?
The victory is sure.
Do we ride Mother’s horrible death there,
Sri Aurobindo’s failure
to catch it all on fire
with the proximity of his divinity?
Something’s missin’,
that’s for sure.
We’ve got to get something right.
We have to change.
We have to make ourselves bear the world
and not fall from it,
and not let it override our program.
We have to change inside ourselves
where we find God.
We have to be there for him.
I know a cloak is missing
from the Integral Yoga,
from my sadhana.
I can’t pull it down from the skies.
I can just sit here with it,
the ache of change
that’s needed.
What bridge do I have to cross?
What mountain do I have to climb?
Where do I find the Integral Yoga
that it completes itself?
I cannot do this
I reckon,
and so I look for other means to survive.
It’s impossible;
there’s one notion:
Get God or die,
but where do I find God,
and I never leave him?
Where do I find God,
and I still have the world by the tail,
or at least it doesn’t have mine?
Grow up,
that’s the danger here
you don’t,
but whatever
you tried.
It’s nice to meet you,
the Integral Yoga,
and I’m talkin’ to every disciple.
Am I just crazy,
or is it like this for all of us?
This Marvellous Lila's Magic
ReplyDeleteIs that each player is unique.
Just lay your cards on the table
As sincerely as you are able,
And allow the Divine Mother
To play Her role as Moderator.
One can of course always try
To bypass Her or even deny
The necessity of total surrender,
The Karma of which alone is the usurper's.
Thus the Surrender and Bhakti
To the Supreme Divine Mother MahaShakti
Is called the Sunlit Path,
The most joyful and easiest.
In full receptivity do your best
And leave to Her all the rest.
PS: The Mother Incarnate on Her Symbol:
"The first eight concern the attitude towards the Divine, and the last four towards humanity."
https://incarnateword.in/agenda/13/january-19-1972
And so we uniques move on
As One Dynamic Motion,
Unfolding, Self-correcting,
Ever hastening, intensifying,
On this Earth soon coming
The Life Divine.
Om Namo Bhagavate 🙏🏼
The Stadium Room
DeleteWelcome to the present.
I tell you everything
right there on the wall
between us,
and I’m using inner vision,
where it comes to poetry.
I don’t just write this down what I hear.
It’s a precise mechanism of inevitability
I wait for,
throwin’ out lines and visions
that get in the way.
I make mistakes
and do not do it right,
and the improvement makes me want to delete my past poetry.
I accept what I get,
really wanting to give you great words
and fine poetry,
but I’m learnin’ to put off that public man
and give you poetry the divine wants me to.
It’s not all chopped in pieces.
It’s just here and I’m here
bein’ a poet to you.
Eleven kilo meters,
and I’m finishin’ with one.
It’s 12 in our sudden business, you know?
We give it all we got,
inner poetry today.
Here me inside
are your reading better?
You forgot the onion
and how hard it is to tell
mistakes and faults
and what you’re doin’ wrong.
Hear me I bleed.
What are you doin’?
You hear the future poetry Zeck,
everybody.
It’s invisible
in lines and crosses,
but I do believe I got the style down
because it’s the poetry of today
the inner poetry speaks.
All feed all
like a baseball
in this mutual being’s core.
The largeness of mankind,
it’s a sizable matter.
The breaks of us,
they’re not the end of the world,
even when someone dies.
Can you get that next of kin?
I’m all your low inside.
Alright who started it,
the life system freeze.
There’s somethin’ goin’ on with us.
We are not easy with each other.
We’re not easy with our emotions,
hide some of them,
hide a lot of what’s goin’ on inside.
We don’t show each other each other.
We just sit there and be big men
and women wearin’ a mask,
like we don’t bleed
or hurt inside.
We’re cut off from each other,
every damn day.
The mystery inside,
what is that person sayin’?
We just get along,
and we don’t heal.
I’m giving you the showroom.
This is where we live most of the time
around other people.
It’s bake inside
so many other thoughts
than the conversation we’re havin’,
than I am focused on you.
I’m a world unto myself
you don’t see.
Now grab that
and give me yourself inside.
You’re vulnerable.
You don’t lead men,
and you can’t get over that.
We all do it,
hero fantasies:
I am big in the room.
When you’re showin’ me your inner self,
don’t lie.
I wanna get at the child in us
that just wants to please
and at the same time wants to cry
because no one listens to them,
and they know they are a world inside
so big to their room,
a special case.
We all feel it,
the One inside
when this boils down to ego
and cuts us off from other people.
It happens to all of us,
all the time.
We misconstrue the One
where we meet the world,
where we are alone with ourself.
We give ourselves big titles.
We make the story about us.
We don’t give other person credit,
and we are a shotgun in the room
to the mistakes of others,
and we hold stereotypes
over the person in front of us
and do not see their worth.
We view them with glasses,
without even knowin’ why.
Can I get you to see this?
I’m not that man in the room
bash children’s heads in.
I care for them.
Now all this resistance to change I have shown you,
let it bleed out.
Be vulnerable and kind.
Don’t sit there and preach to me
without showing your stumbles.
Un-ice yourself
and be that warm human being I know
you are around other people,
who you value and hold dear.
This is heartfelt.
Can you manage that
with me?
Try.
"Why is the choice imperative?"
ReplyDelete“Because we are at one of the ‘hours of God’ as Sri Aurobindo puts it—and the transforming evolution of the world has taken a hastened and intensified movement.”
The Mother Incarnate

To the few in sincere aspiration
Understanding Progressive Perfection
As the impetus of this Divine rEvolution:
The Sadhana of Total Surrender
Is only to the Supreme Divine Mother
And to no human whatsoever.
"The object is transformation, and the transformation can only be done by a force infinitely greater than your own; it can only be done by being truly like a child in the hands of the Divine Mother."
"...the only way to succeed in the Supramental Yoga."

And the Corruption
DeleteWhat’s Famous
Is this the price she wrote?
It’s in the inner being.
Great fields there I said.
Now count them today.
I'm on psychic contact.
Do you lay there?
You do not acknowledge large words were said
to the tune of being swept off your feet,
to the tune of lift you out of the mire
of self-righteousness,
and you do not handle grace.
You have on a powered wig.
The mission’s clear:
avoid religion the Integral Yoga.
I’m sorry this is plastic,
quite flexible.
I am with them everywhere,
the Mother and Sri Aurobindo,
have visions of them throughout the day
and hear them speak to me in inner speech.
The Mother’s will I seek to do
in every plan.
They ride my heart.
Every disciple has a different plan,
every living being.
I have passed name and form
where I put my bhakti.
You’ve never seen that.
Chapter and verse Sri Aurobindo
the Yoga of Divine Love.
We can reach for the stars
avoid religion at all costs.
Religion is the clothes we wear
outside with Sri Aurobindo,
givin’ the Mother all these epitaphs,
and flattering India with your obedience to her.
These are not inner keepings.
You do not live in the inner being,
and your poetry does not come from on high.
You make it up with your mind.
Spirituality’s the test.
Is it a livin’ laboratory of inner experience,
and results come out of that,
or do you have these beliefs that you demand people wear?
Chapter and verse Sri Aurobindo
The Synthesis of Yoga
the Yoga of Inner Experience,
alright Robert hail that.
You haven’t been out the top of the head, have you?
The seat of your consciousness up there
where you see and hear from?
A concrete experience.
How many times has that happened to you?
Now quote the Mother again.
You fountain out the top of your head you know
in the practice of this yoga
when you reach its straits.
It makes for inner speech
that comes down from above.
You don’t go that way do you?
Your hand’s on religious belief.
It’s all about the yoga to you
address the Mother as God,
and spew her name everywhere
and the other avatar she was with.
You don’t have the personal experience to show that.
You’re a religious believer.
And I’m poundin’ on your head.
It won’t get it unstuck that way,
your inability to see yourself.
I will just make you mad
reminding you you got no spiritual experience
of the biggies of the yoga,
if you have any at all.
You got books and beliefs
and some high splendid thought.
Or maybe you’ve been in Silent Mind,
and the heart and breath have stopped,
and you sat in the spiritual consciousness
full flower,
however hurried glance it was?
You haven’t been there,
and what about psychic contact,
is it real to you?
Do you see your psychic being in dream and vision?
Does it talk to you in sleep?
Does it guide your life?
That’s not happenin’ here,
is it?
Would you know the psychic being if you saw it?
It’s guiding this poem,
and I have direct contact with it.
I’m with him,
Sri Aurobindo,
and I am with the Mother I said.
Be there in a minute,
where you see what you’ve lost
joinin’ fanaticism.
I don’t think the Mother was all she could be
Pondicherry
nativity scene.
No ego consciousness there,
where the Mother meets us today.
They’re doin’ what they’re supposed to be doin’
with time,
helpin’ us evolve in it,
bein’ the great fields on Earth that can.
It’s an Earth yoga.
When it comes right down to it,
they are the divinities that Earth needs.
Why up to that line?
I know
Supermind will manifest.
Did I stutter?
No I did not accept the Lord Jesus into my heart,
understandin’ the analogy.
I didn’t make them splendid names that I wear
and preach to all around about.
Now do you believe me?
They are my record keepers.
I don’t make them a God,
small town fare.
I never thought about this before.
New things
the yoga.
Faith on it,
it’s over my head.
Elected fine,
this is a champion cause,
the understanding
the temple of God.
I leave some inner vision now,
life changing mode.
The discovery of your psychic being
DeleteIs only the first stage of the Triple Transformation.
It's either you're satisfied with that or move on.
Anyway, your individual evolution is entirely your option.
In the meantime, the Earth's Supramentalisation hastens on.
And here in Auroville the City of Dawn
Of the Supreme Mother Divine,

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

Fifty-seven years after Her inauguration,

And whatever inseparably else,
In surrendered joy or pained,
Unstoppably continue on...
