#(Sri Aurobindo)

[themotherofrevelation]

There is in her an overwhelming intensity, a mighty passion of force to achieve, a divine violence rushing to shatter every limit and obstacle. All her divinity leaps out in a splendour of tempestuous action; she is there for swiftness, for the immediately effective process, the rapid and direct stroke, the frontal assault that carries everything before it.

Sri Aurobindo, The Mother

[noosphe-re]

All that transpires on earth and all beyond Are parts of an illimitable plan The One keeps in his heart and knows alone. Our outward happenings have their seed within, And even this random Fate that imitates Chance, This mass of unintelligible results, Are the dumb graph of truths that work unseen: The laws of the Unknown create the known. The events that shape the appearance of our lives Are a cipher of subliminal quiverings Which rarely we surprise or vaguely feel, Are an outcome of suppressed realities That hardly rise into material day: They are born from the spirit's sun of hidden powers Digging a tunnel through emergency. But who shall pierce into the cryptic gulf And learn what deep necessity of the soul Determined casual deed and consequence? Absorbed in a routine of daily acts, Our eyes are fixed on an external scene; We hear the crash of the wheels of Circumstance And wonder at the hidden cause of things.

Sri Aurobindo, Savitri, Book One, Canto Four (from The Hidden Forces of Life, compiled by A.S. Dalal)

The utmost mission of mind is to train our obscure consciousness which has emerged out of the dark prison of matter, to enlighten its blind instincts, random intuitions, vague perceptions till it shall become capable of this greater light and this higher ascension. Mind is a passage, not a culmination.

To find highest beauty is to find God; to reveal, to embody... to bring out of our souls the living image and power of God.

This is a miracle that men can love

God, yet fail to love humanity.

With whom are they in love then?

The sense of impossibility is the beginning of all possibilities. Because this temporal universe was a paradox and an impossibility,

— Sri Aurobindo

[liluye]

For at the gates of the Transcendent stands that mere and perfect Spirit described in the Upanishads, luminous, pure, sustaining the world but inactive in it, without sinews of energy, without flaw of duality, without scar of division, unique, identical, free from all appearance of relation and of multiplicity, –the pure Self of the Adwaitins, the inactive Brahman, the transcendent Silence. And the mind when it passes those gates suddenly, without intermediate transitions, receives a sense of the unreality of the world and the sole reality of the Silence which is one of the most powerful and convincing experiences of which the human mind is capable.

…looking at what happened in 1914 — or for that matter at all that is and has been happening in human history — the eye of the Yogin sees not only the outward events and persons and causes, but the enormous forces which precipitate them into action. If the men who fought were instruments in the hands of rulers and financiers, these in turn were mere puppets in the clutch of those forces. When one is habituated to see the things behind, one is no longer prone to be touched by the outward aspects — or to expect any remedy from political, institutional or social changes; the only way out is through the decent of a consciousness which is not the puppet of these forces but is greater than they are and can compel them either to change or disappear. — Sri Aurobindo

The function of the Master is to undo what the society has done to you. It is an anti-university, an anti-school, an anti-college, because it is not here to impart knowledge to you but to impart something totally different, something of a different dimension. It is here to create a triggering process in you so that you can get out of your so-called scriptures, words, theories, and you can become just ordinary. You can just become whatsoever you are without any pretensions. I exalt the ordinariness of consciousness. I am not teaching you the superman here. Friedrich Nietzsche went mad simply because of the idea of the superman. And in India also, Sri Aurobindo, his whole life, was feeding the Indian ego with the idea of the superman, of the supermind, of the supernatural. All this esoteric nonsense has become such a heavy burden on man that it has to be totally burnt—less than that won’t do. A fire is needed so that all that can be burnt can be burnt, and only that which remains will be your true self. I am not esoteric, I am not occult, I am not teaching you the other world, I am not teaching you the supernatural, the superman. I am simply exalting the very ordinariness of every human being, the very ordinariness, not only of human beings, but of animals, of trees, of rivers, and rocks—this very ordinariness of godliness. To me, godliness and ordinariness are equivalent, synonymous. If I have to choose I will drop the word ‘God,’ because it has become really goddamned. Just pure ordinariness… and to live it moment-to-moment, joyously, dancingly, celebratingly. Then wisdom blooms. Then the spring comes and the grass grows by itself.

Revisiting Sanatana Dharma through Sri Aurobindo's Vision | HUA

THE REBIRTH OF SANATANA DHARMA IN THE LIGHT OF SRI AUROBINDO – PART 3  

Sri Aurobindo predicted that the rebirth of Sanatana Dharma was more important for all of humanity than any one person. This Sanatana Dharma has kept Adhyatma as its core basis. It insists on Truth alone, seeks peace, harmony, beauty, perfection, purity, self-knowledge, oneness and unity, light and pleasure, and doesn't reject any part of life. This three-quarter course series is an attempt to look at Sanatana Dharma's principles, core teachings, the Shastras, practices, and the past, present, and future through Sri Aurobindo's eyes. We will also look at the state of the renaissance of Sanatana Dharma, as well as current misunderstandings, misrepresentations, and challenges. We will also look at the wisdom of the old seers and sages through Sri Aurobindo's eyes.  

Renaissance of Sanatana Dharma What's in the Course:  

Sri Aurobindo thought that India had to rise up so that Sanatana Dharma could be shared with the whole world. He said, "Other religions are mostly about faith and practice, but the Sanatana Dharma is life itself. It's not so much something you have to believe in as live by." This is the dharma that has been kept alive on this land since ancient times so that people can be saved.  

It is the Dharma that is open to everyone and includes everyone. The only goal of the Dharma is to win over lies and everything else that holds us back. The goal of Dharma is to wake up the spirit in matter. It is the Dharma that includes every way to connect with the Divine. Unfortunately, after India became independent, it started on a path of growth that deepened a lot of people's misunderstandings and wrong ideas about this eternal Dharma. This made it harder for people to connect with their cultural roots. We are in the middle of a fight that is not only confusing and hard to understand, but also full of blind beliefs and strong feelings. So, the normal young Indian mind, whether it was born and raised in India or somewhere else, feels handicapped when it comes to Sanatana Dharma because it hasn't yet found the conviction to live a life that is in line with its vision.  

What's going to happen? Where does Sanatana Dharma go from here? Sri Aurobindo, the Rishi of India's rebirth, may have said more eloquent things about this topic than anyone else. Sri Aurobindo shows us that the new India needs to build an integral awareness that can show the power of the divine and find new answers in all areas of life, such as science, philosophy, culture, society, economics, politics, and so on. On the 150th anniversary of Sri Aurobindo's birth, we will go over his plans for the future of Bharat and Sanatana Dharma in this course.  

Part 1 of this course gave an overview of Sri Aurobindo's life and works, the basics of Sanatana Dharma, the foundations of Indian culture, an overview of the sacred texts of Sanatana Dharma, the idea of spirituality, Dharma, Purushartha, Brahmacharya, and the message of Sanatana Dharma to humanity. All of these things are talked about in terms of Sri Aurobindo.   

In part 2 of the course, the sacred works of Sanatana Dharma (Vedas, Upanishads, Gita, and Tantra) were introduced and analyzed in light of Sri Aurobindo.   

This is the third and final part of the course, which tries to teach some of the most important ideas in Sanatana Dharma. To really get into the depths of Sanatana Dharma, you need to know more about key ideas like Gods and Goddesses, Punarjanma or Rebirth, the Law of Karma and Human Destiny, Avatarhood, Rituals, Fasts, and Festivals, etc. All of these things will be talked about in terms of Sri Aurobindo's Perspectives.

365 Days of Poetry - Day 2:

*

SCIENCE AND THE UNKNOWABLE

In occult depths grow Nature’s roots unshown;

Each visible hides its base in the unseen,

Even the invisible guards what it can mean

In a yet deeper invisible, unknown.

Man's science builds abstractions cold and bare

And carves to formulas the living whole;

It is a brain and hand without a soul,

A piercing eye behind our outward stare.

The objects that we sce are not their form,

A mass of forces is the apparent shape;

Pursued and seized, their inner lines escape

In a vast consciousness beyond our norm.

Follow and you shall meet abysses still,

Infinite, wayless, mute, unknowable.

*

Sonnets, Sri Aurobindo

#poetry #sri aurobindo

[nousrose]

In the field of action, desire takes many forms, but the most powerful of all is the vital self's craving or seeking after the fruit of our works. The fruit we covet may be a reward of internal pleasure; it may be the accomplishment of some preferred idea or some cherished will or the satisfaction of the egoistic emotions, or else the pride of success of our highest hopes and ambitions. Or maybe an external reward, a recompense entirely material, wealth, position, honour, victory, good fortune, or any other fulfillment of vital or physical desire. But all alike are lures by which egoism holds us. Always these satisfactions delude us with the sense of mastery and the idea of freedom, while really we are harnessed and guided or ridden and whipped by some gross or subtle, some noble or ignoble, figure of the blind desire that drives the world. Therefore the first rule of action laid down by the gita is to do the work that should be done without any desire for the fruit, niskämakarma.

Pensées et aphorismes

La mort est la question que la Nature pose continuellement à la vie pour lui rappeler qu’elle ne s’est pas encore trouvée elle-même. Sans l’assaut de la mort, la créature serait liée pour toujours à une forme de vie imparfaite. Poursuivie par la mort, elle s’éveille à l’idée d’une vie parfaite et en cherche les moyens et la possibilité. * Si ton but est grand et tes moyens petits, Agis tout de…

Real then to the man who has had contact with it or lives in it, is this cosmic consciousness, with a greater than the physical reality; real in itself, real in its effects and works. And as it is thus real to the world which is its own total expression, so is the world real to it; but not as an independent existence. For in that higher and less hampered experience we perceive that consciousness and being are not different from each other, but all being is a supreme consciousness, all consciousness is self-existence, eternal in itself, real in its works and neither a dream nor an evolution. The world is real precisely because it exists only in consciousness; for it is a Conscious Energy one with Being that creates it.
