Ifย further aspiration is there, one shouldn’t stop with realising The Self, but go forward to understand the Science ofย manifestationsย of The Divine,ย andย by The Divine will,ย and through his aspirations,ย he can alsoย serve The Divine in its manifestation.ย I gotย it. This was clear to me because I come from my Guru, who established เคเฅเคเคพเคจ เคตเคฟเคเฅเคเคพเคจ เคฎเคจเฅเคฆเคฟเคฐเค and initiated us intoย The Science of Yoga, through His talks and diagrams.ย But when I read “Gnosis or Vigyaan ” chapter from SriAurovindo’s “Synthesis of yoga “, I couldn’t correlate anything easily or may be I didn’t understand at all.ย That’s why my question.ย our answer is clear, butย Sri Aurobindo’s explanation, I didn’t get.
Yes because what is generally understood (and rightly so) by Vigyana is the Divine Manifestation in the cosmos as it functions too. The Unmanifest that holds the seeds of the future remained unexplored or rather as a royal gate of departure. Hence there is no account of the Supramental realm or the possibility of the Gnostic being or in fact anything beyond the present humanity. What Sri Aurobindo brings is this transcendental truth of the Vigyanamaya Purusha held back from man. That is why Sri Aurobindo and the Mother said that what was understood as the Vigyanamaya was the manifestation of the One in multiplicity as revealed through the brilliant lid of the Overmind. What was not seen and remained hidden was the plenary Supermind where all that is yet to manifest is held back. The Gnostic being is the yet to fully manifest future. It has now come into the realm of world possibilities and is pressing upon earth for its realisation. Perhaps the yogis who will come hereafter will be able to perceive this new being as part of the manifestation of the Vigyanamaya. But for now it is not described anywhere. What is described is the eternal perfection of the Lord in His own realm but that is different from realising the same eternal Perfection here, upon earth and, in the play of Time.
