AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

In Savitri study class where you have mentioned about the pain of death and that one is tied with 101 cords then you mentioned but now death has changed, how is it changed🧐. I believe it might have changed after the supramental decent, but how?

The victory over Death as indicated in Savitri is described towards the end of the Canto.

‘At last he knew defeat inevitable
And left crumbling the shape that he had worn,
Abandoning hope to make man’s soul his prey
And force to be mortal the immortal spirit.’

It means that the action of Death which is an all pervasive ignorance holding the human soul hypnotised and captive within the cage of matter will loosen its grip eventually releasing the soul from its bandage to ignorance. Physical death is only a last consequence of the action of ignorance. Once human souls are released from its grip then we will open more and more to the Divine Love and Grace leading eventually to the complete victory even over physical death.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

In Sri Aurobindo’s philosophy, the Divine consciousness manifests into the world through Involution, and human suffering is often described as a side effect of this evolutionary process. 🤔😣🥀🌄[…]

The first thing to understand is that the Divine who chose to plunge into the ignorance with the full knowledge of the aftermath of suffering and the eventual multiplication of delight, the manifold delight of multiplicity, did it with the full consent of our central being, that aspect of the soul that remains unfallen and hence always in the bliss of the eternal company of the Divine. The soul in us took it as a great adventure in which it plunged along …
