Life: Its Spiritual and Supramental Aim

This sharing commenced from seeing an Aurovilian sister's public posting of Sri Aurobindo's 'The Spiritual Aim and Life', a chapter in The Human Cycle, written more than 100 years ago. It is also in connection with the ongoing intense dynamics of Auroville with its very diverse mix of invited participants local and from around the globe, and its uniquely evolved legislated social, administrative and governance systems involving the Government of its host Nation we dearly call Mother India.

As we are still in the Human Cycle that is only a transitional evolutionary stage of consciousness and life on this planet, in this context let us carefully understand the etymology of "Politics", still a major buzzword and way of life for most humans, while for many in the spiritual community is a complete taboo. Now let's look at it all from the integral vantage point. It is no secret that Sri Aurobindo and the Mother were national and global revolutionaries themselves having definitive objectives of not just an inner transformation but physical, not only a spiritual realisation but a supramental manifestation that will radically change the world as we know it. Thus it is only proper to integrally understand the word for proper application here in Auroville which has a most revolutionary Aim and Purpose based on the Divine Supramental Vision-Goal of its Kalki Avatar founders. Adding to that, once more, is the fact that this City of Dawn is situated within, under the protection, administration and governance of the Government of Mother India that is Bharat Mata, the Guru of the World, experiencing a profound Renaissance.

With these spirited promptings, I have posited questions to just one of our InfoComm assistants Google Gemini, starting with this:

Q1: What is the etymology of the word "Politics"?

The answer with subsequent very interesting Q&A is in the link below:

Addendum: 

I noticed some lines omitted from the aforementioned shared post but most interesting, as follows:

"Thus spirituality will respect the freedom of the lower members, but it will not leave them to themselves; it will present to them the truth of the spirit in themselves, translated into their own fields of action, presented in a light which illumines all their activities and shows them the highest law of their own freedom. It will not, for instance, escape from scientific materialism by a barren contempt for physical life or a denial of Matter, but pursue rather the sceptical mind into its own affirmations and denials and show it there the Divine. If it cannot do that, it is proved that it is itself unenlightened or deficient, because onesided, in its light."

In that regard I further tested the capacity of our ever-advancing InfoComm assistant in accessing public information. I asked Google Gemini the following question, with its answer on the link below, serving as an addendum to the link above:

Q: Do you have information on the decision of the Supreme Court of India on 17 March 2025 that Auroville continues on its development of the City in accordance with the Mother's Vision and the gazetted Master Plan?

Very interesting advancements indeed in this modern age of Information and Communications Technology, making the understanding much easier in view of the ever-increasing spiritual and material knowledge and experiences that humans have been accumulating. This gives us the heightened capability to dynamically process and apply eternal truths and new discoveries to this multi-dimensioned life much more effectively.

A very important notice: please read very carefully and understand, and do your own cross-checkings and cross-referencings of information for all issues, as these are very sensitive and paradigm-shifting information. 

In the meantime, We All as One Unfolding Self-correcting Dynamic Movement continue on...

Towards the soon coming Life Divine 🙏🏼

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...
