AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

How should I understand the below quote from Sri Aurobindo’s ‘Essays on the Gita’? Kindly explain: πŸ˜ŠπŸŒ»πŸ’«[…]

“He (Purushottama) … is not limited even by the highest eternal status of his being, param dhama.”

(Ref. https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/19/the-three-purushas)

It means that though Eternal he (the Supreme or highest Purusha) can enter the play of Time, though infinite he can yet assume a finite name and form, though great and almighty he can afford to play at being small and weak, though unborn he takes birth. That is the supreme freedom of the Purushottama. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da
