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: 😊🌻💫[…]

“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)

That is the supreme freedom of the Purushottama. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da
