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 Supramental Consciousness-Force and Light and Substance since 29th February 1956. Thus more and more humans are now realising who we really are, as the deathless Soul Sparks reincarnating life after life on Earth, progressively playing our transitional roles, at present as human beings.
The Kalki Avatar Sri Aurobindo, supported by the Mother, reveals the whole Cosmic Play in His epic mantric poem Savitri, a Legend and a Symbol. This applies to their numerous other writings and revelations.
The MahaShakti is the partner of Ishwara, the Supreme Two Who are One, Ishwara-Ishwari: the Eternal and Infinite, the Absolute and Relative, MahaPurusha and MahaPrakriti, Spirit and Matter.
Avatars are the direct incarnation of the Supreme, who incarnates in particular times on Earth for Direct Action in the ever-unfolding evolutionary transformation of consciousness and life.
The Kalki Avatar is understood as the last Avatar in a human body. Thus Sri Aurobindo and the Mother's Core Message and Ideal Vision-Goal:
"Man is a transitional being, he is not final."
"The whole earth must prepare itself for the advent of the new species, and Auroville wants to work consciously to hasten this advent."
And We as aspiring True Aurovilians, the Kalki Avatar's torchbearers, willing servitors and hero warriors of the Divine Supramental Consciousness-Force, continue on towards the Divine Manifestation.
In essence You are That: Tat Tvam Asi.
And when you realise this you can proclaim:
Aham Brahmasmi: I am Brahman.
We Are That: Spirit and Matter as One,
Only at the unfolding present
Homo sapiens the limited
In progressive Surrender and Bhakti
To the Supreme Divine Mother MahaShakti,
Unfolding in Progressive Perfection
Towards 100% Total Identification:
Spirit and Matter manifest as One,
The next apex species
The Supramental being,
The Divine Manifestation
In the Integral Supramental Evolution.
On this Earth coming soon
The Life Divine.
And here a disciple asked the Mother:
"I have a question from the last lesson. Here Sri Aurobindo has written: “All the scenes of the earth-play have been like a drama arranged and planned and staged by her [the Mother as the Mahashakti] with the cosmic Gods for her assistants and herself as a veiled actor.” So this means that everything that happens here has already been staged on a higher plane. So everything is predestined Mother. Then there is no free-will?"
Her answer:

To all aspiring to participate in the hastening of the Golden Age, the Satya Yuga, please read very carefully in full and understand...
"For man (the mental human being and its tools), the foremost realization for man is understanding—understanding things.
For the Supermind (the Supramental being as the new species), realization means Power (Mother stretches out her arms in a sovereign gesture), the Creative Willpower.
But naturally, it would be quite disastrous if human intellectual capacities, mental capacities, were to gain control of that power—it would be terrifying! It would cause terrible havoc. Hence the need to consent in all humility to become imbecile before being able to acquire it."

I asked https://incarnateword.in/AskAi#! "Is Mahashakti an aspect or a part of the Divine?"
ReplyDeleteAnd here is the answer:
"Mahashakti is not merely an aspect or a part of the Divine; she is the dynamic, creative power of the Divine itself. In the teachings of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, Mahashakti represents the supreme Shakti, the universal Mother, who manifests and governs all creation. She is the active force of the Divine, embodying its consciousness, will, and energy in action.
Sri Aurobindo describes Mahashakti as the Divine Mother who holds all the powers of creation, preservation, and transformation. She is integral to the Divine’s manifestation in the cosmos, and her presence is inseparable from the Divine itself. While the Divine is the transcendent, immutable essence, Mahashakti is its dynamic expression, bringing forth the universe and guiding its evolution.
Thus, Mahashakti is not a fragment or subordinate aspect but the full, living embodiment of the Divine’s creative and transformative force. She is the bridge between the transcendent Divine and the manifested world, working tirelessly to uplift and evolve consciousness toward its ultimate realization."
