Chosen by the Infinite

Image
On the "popularisation of the esoteric", how to stop it, now that we are in the chrysalis of the Spiritual-Supramental Age? The seemingly chaotic and dynamic mix of dark and light, falsehood and truth, or part-truths, are the Sanatana Dharma of Progressive Perfection Itself of the Eternal and Infinite. But as Sri Aurobindo and the Mother have stressed, the blossoming of the Supramental rEvolution will just depend on the chosen few, "a selected few in humanity, a small number of beings"*  amidst the infinite assortment of players being sorted out. “He who chooses the Infinite has been chosen by the Infinite.” https://incarnateword.in/cwm/07/19-october-1955 This quote from the Mother is quite telling and indicative of the latest narratives and goings on: "People sleep, they forget, they take life easy—they forget, forget all the time…. But if we could remember… that we are at an exceptional hour, a unique time, that we have this immense good fortune, this i...

Dare to Know

Image
An Aurovilian started a collective thread titled 'Dare to Know'  with the theme 'Having the Courage to use your own Intelligence'. An invite for each unique to add one's chip. Ok then, here I go. ‎ Dare to know. A push to let go Of limiting appearances. A prompt to be courageous To discover the unknown Beyond the limitations of reason Beyond even the rays of intuition Towards the vast infinite ocean Of limitless possibilities. One modality of existence Is the Supramental being A new condition becoming Kickstarted by the Dual Avatar Sri Aurobindo and the Mother That will take many more generations Of hero warrior sun-eyed children. Thus a playing field of concentration Was created, this City of Dawn To hasten the terrestrial evolution Towards the Life Divine. Inevitable. Unstoppable. Although the transitional stages Will push you to the sharp edges Of your now fragile comfort zones To take a leap of faith with the Unknown For this New World already born To fully blos...

Twisted

Image
63—God is great, says the Mahomedan. Yes, He is so great that He can afford to be weak, whenever that too is necessary. 64—God often fails in His workings; it is the sign of His illimitable godhead. 65—Because God is invincibly great, He can afford to be weak; because He is immutably pure, He can indulge with impunity in sin; He knows eternally all delight, therefore He tastes also the delight of pain; He is inalienably wise, therefore He has not debarred Himself from folly. Can God truly be said to be weak or to fail? Does this actually happen, or is it simply the Lord’s play? That’s not how it is, mon petit! This is precisely how the modern Western attitude has become twisted compared to the ancient attitude, the attitude—it isn’t exactly ancient—of the Gita. It’s extremely difficult for the Western mind to comprehend vividly and concretely that  ALL is the Divine . It is so impregnated with the Christian spirit, with the idea of a ‘Creator’—the creation on one side and God on th...

Understanding the Role of the Government of India in Auroville

Here is a video recording of a public speech on February 2022: https://youtu.be/XjIAoE5i66Q?si=gG74NayXldTdrfnq   Government of India participant speakers:   — His Excellency Ravindra N. Ravi, Honourable Governor of Tamil Nadu and Chairman of the Governing Board of Auroville Foundation   — Shri Vishal V. Sharma, India's Ambassador/Permanent Representative to UNESCO   Members of the current Governing Board of Auroville:   https://auroville.org/contents/1262   . . .   Addendum to the YouTube description as of 1st August 2025:   Here Sri Aurobindo elucidates and makes sense of the unfolding Divine Play, specifically the distinctness of Mother India and Her people. This to also understand that the paradigm-shifting Supramental Vision-Goal behind Auroville can only happen in Mother India.   Just snippets below... best to carefully read it all:   "The true nature of the Indian polity can only be realised if we look at it not as a separate thin...
