AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

It would help if you could clarity two terms Life and Thought, from the Life Divine. This is from the opening para of the chapter Reality Omnipresent: Since, then, we admit both the claim of the pure Spirit to manifest in us its absolute freedom and the claim of universal Matter to be the mold and condition of our manifestation, we have to find a truth that can entirely reconcile these antagonists and can give to both their due portion in Life and their due justification in Thought, amercing neither of its rights, denying in neither the sovereign truth from which even its errors, even the exclusiveness of its exaggerations draw so constant a strength🤔 (pg. 29)

How exactly is Sri Aurobindo using the terms ‘Life’ and ‘Thought?’. He uses these two terms a lot in Life Divine?

Life is the means through which matter begins to aspire and seek, however vaguely towards the Spirit. Life is also the energy needed for anything, for the sadhana as well as the Divine manifestation. 

Thought is the means through which the Spirit communicates itself as well as the bridge through which life ascends towards the heights. By ignoring these two layers and speaking only of the material and the spiritual we miss the connecting bridges.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

There is evidently a vital attraction which is very different from love. It usually wears off with time unless there is a strong deep affinity of goals, ideas and interests.

Marraige is a different matter. It requires a deep commitment which can come only if there is some glimmer of true love or else strong earthly bonds of family, habits, customs, language etc. Besides, long distance relationship is very different from living together in close physical proximity. Many unwanted things begin to show up in close…

It would greatly help your inner progress if you take up work, any work and for whatever time, in the Sri Aurobindo Center.
