AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

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
