AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

“But there are other worlds where the Manifestation is simultaneous and not successive.” what does this mean🤔?

She is referring here to the Supramental Worlds. Successive manifestations imply Time and Space.

Sweet Mother, can one go out of Time and Space? If one goes out of the manifestation.

Out of this lower manifestation, the triple world of Mind, Life and Body. But there are other manifestation that is eternal and not subject to decay and destruction. And of course one can go beyond all manifestation into the Unmanifest and further into That which exceeds both.

My question – As Supramental world and Satchidananda worlds above are beyond Time and Space, are they out of Manifestation (as per statement 2)? But, statement 1 seems to imply that the Supramental world and Satchidananda worlds are within Manifestation. How can we understand both statements 1 and 2 together?

s i noted above there is eternal manifestation as well as temporal. This diagram of Sri Aurobindo may help.

Supreme Self-Contained Absolute

First Absolute—    Tat. The Absolute Transcendent, the Supreme, Paratpara, (containing all, limited by nothing).

Second Absolute—Sat. The supreme self-contained absolute Existence, Sachchidananda, (Ananda uniting Sat & Chit), holding in its absolute unity the dual Principle (He & She, Sa and Sâ) and the fourfold Principle, OM with its four states as one.

Third Absolute—    Aditi – M [the Mother]. Aditi is the indivisible consciousness force and Ananda of the Supreme; M, its living dynamis, the supreme Love, Wisdom, Power. Adya-Shakti of the Tantra = Parabrahman

Fourth Absolute—Parameswara of the Gita = Parameswari of the Tantra

The Manifestation

I

First Absolute—    The concealed Avyakta Supreme, self-involved Sachchidananda, Parabrahman (Parameswaraiswari)

Second Absolute—Aditi-M. containing in herself the Supreme. The Divine Consciousness, Force, Ananda upholding all the universes—Para Shakti, Para Prakriti, Mahamaya (yayedam dhâryate jagat).

Third Absolute—    The Eternal Manifestation (The supreme Satya Loka, Chaitanyaloka, Tapoloka, Ananda-loka-not those of the mental series.)

II

The Manifestation in Eternal Time

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Are the processes of Purification and Transformation the same thing? I have a little confusion. In the process of Purification, we face some adverse forces that are mentioned by Sri Aurobindo in the chapter ‘The difficulties of Transformation’. Are they the same? 🔥🌄[…]

Purification is the indispensable basis for liberation. It means removing the covering and coating of ignorance and falsehood that veils the true self. In the yoga seeking for mukti, the purification has to be less thorough. It is enough to bring some sattwic rectitude in nature, satwasanshuddhi. Transformation proper..

Yes, I agree that for the average human being, these outer frameworks and social institutions do serve a purpose of holding people together. Of course, as I mentioned, marriage or not, love and togetherness can be beautiful and ought to be so. But for that, man needs to evolve beyond the present frameworks, which operate as long as one accepts the limits of dos and don’ts. …
