Please tell us that what role an Asura of falsehood plays in all these types of things. And how must the children of the Divine Mother see and react to these situations? Also, tell us what Mother and Sri Aurobindo have said on conversion and forceful acts.
To say that the whole Islamic jihadist mentality is Asuric is to say the least. It is diabolic and demonic. Conversion is one thing, but to force women into submission, taking advantage of their financial situation, is such a cruel criminal act. And to do it in the name of God makes it so much worse and diabolic. It is also a reflection upon the society that breeds, allows and justifies such things.ย
Sri Aurobindo and The Mother wanted a radical solution. It consists of three main aspects. The end of the Age of Religions through a purifying period of rational atheism and a conscious aspiration towards a higher spiritual consciousness. This has been happening for some time. Secondly, the emergence and advancement of the Religion of humanity, shedding off the garbs of Religion and developing certain qualities such as sympathy, compassion, goodwill, kindness, so that the veiled psychic presence stifled by the rules and dogmas of Religions can find release. Finally, each one of us should grow into the vastness, or at least the wideness, of the true spiritual consciousness. It will automatically pull others upwards. A true spiritual conversion of humanity can alone help mankind ascend beyond the bar of formal Religions. All the rest is simply a temporary makeshift arrangement. Of course, one should speak up freely, should never be afraid to voice the truth within oneself, but the real solution lies in the further spiritual evolution of mankind.ย
As to children of the Divine Mother, we must focus primarily upon the change of consciousness within us, rooting out all that contradicts the Divine within us. And of course, we can always voice our views, but it is only if human beings undergo an inner change that such evil can be uprooted. The majority of human beings give too much importance to money and material success and have become rather insensitive to everything else except their little life and excessive self-importance. Let us at least try to set an example for the highest Ideal and lead a true life turned towards the highest goal. Each such person will have a ripple effect and attract and induce many others to shed this littleness and turn towards Truth and Beauty and Good. While we may not be able to save those caught in the dark web, we can persuade others to be careful and avoid the trapdoor.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
