Eulogy for the Ego

"They need to see you, they need your help, it’s a difficult period for everyone."

"My help is there for all those who need it—it’s the ego that prevents people from receiving it. Does V. understand the difference between the ego and the psychic being?… Ego is the obstruction. Ego was necessary to shape humanity, but we are now preparing the way for a superhumanity, a supra-humanity. The job of the ego is over—it did its job well, now it must disappear. And it is the psychic being, the Divine’s representative in man, that will stay on and pass into the next species. So we must learn to gather all our being around the psychic. Those who wish to pass to the supra-humanity must get rid of the ego and concentrate themselves around the psychic being.

But does he know the difference between the ego and the psychic? Because the ego is very artful—a rogue!…"

The Mother . Agenda of 13 April 1972

With that as a prompt, another question appears:

What exactly is the ego, as defined by Sri Aurobindo and the Mother?

I asked ChatGPT, and a very interesting conversation unfolded, giving a glimpse of a bright future where an exponentially increasing number of modern humans with our ever-advancing InfoComm tools will find it easier to fully understand their One Eternal and Infinite Source and the purpose of their mutual existence with everyone and everything else, who will then consciously participate in the hastening of our shared Integral Supramental Evolution. Thus the fitting title: "Eulogy for the Ego".

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...
