AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

In the Gita, in this shloka, in second line Sri krishna says  “Behold Arjuna the many wonderful things which no one has ever seen orheard before” So can we take these words ” Adrishta” and ” Ashcharya”   for new creation also? 🪈🐎📜🛞

पश्यादित्यान्वसून्रुद्रानश्विनौ मरुतस्तथा ।

बहून्यदृष्टपूर्वाणि पश्याश्चर्याणि भारत ॥ ११-६॥

The New Creation is the Creation upon earth. It is not a typal self-existent Reality but a building up of that Reality here, upon earth, on a material basis, by releasing it from below. All is concealed in Matter since the Supreme Himself and all the worlds are hidden within it. They are released one by one through the process of evolution. Thus, for example, we see an elaborate description of the New Creation, the Supramental World, in Book Three Canto Three of Savitri. But that is a self-existent Creation there, in that realm, not the New Creation here. 

In the Viswaroop, there is included the individual immanent Divine as well as the Divine who transcends the Viswaroopam, Transcendent. So we can assume that the hidden truths and wonders include all that is beyond including the Supramental. But it is not the dynamic truth of past, present and future that is being revealed or hinted in the Viswaroopam, only the Divine manifestations that exist forever and the Will of the Divine in the present moment as the manifestation in Time. 

The New Creation could not be shown unless it comes fully into the manifestation. 

Also the next sloka : Here  also in2 nd line  Sri krishna says, “This universal form can show you whatever you now desire to see and whatever you may want to see in future . So can I assume Sri krishna has  even the new creation in His Viswaroopam? 

इहैकस्थं जगत्कृत्स्नं पश्याद्य सचराचरम् ।

मम देहे गुडाकेश यच्चान्यद् द्रष्टुमिच्छसि ॥ 

Sri Krishna is not referring to the future here in this shloka. He is referring to all that exists but is beyond the limit of vision of the mortal man. There is no hint about the future except for the immediate consequences of the battle. That is the beauty of the Avatar. Even though they all come from the Supreme and can throw away the veil if they wish to but they limit themselves to the work they have come to do. This work is clearly stated by Sri Krishna in chapter 4 of the Gita, yadayadahi…..In this shloka he does hint that he will come again in the future during the time of dharamasyaglani….but he does not speak of what that form and its future work will be. 

So  The Unmanifested parts of The Divine still have some more creations to become manifest during these  कालावस्त kalavasta? That was still not disclosed  before,  even by Shrikrishna, His viswaroopam  also doesn’t give any hint about the forth coming creation, but gives the entire created universe. Though Sri krishna is the one who  could enter The Supermind, the unmanifest, still He didn’t speak about the new creation explicitly, But  SriAurobindo  after getting the vision of the Supermind, He understood the waiting  of the new manifestation and brought His yoga , to expedite the new creation  accordingly, with the help of The Mother. Please correct the  misunderstanding.

Yes quite so. As to the lokas there are realms of eternal manifestation and realms of temporal manifestation. The Vaikuntha, Kailash and Brahmaloka, though not subject to pralaya, are absorbed back into the One suggesting that they may not be completely immune. As to Goloka, that seems very much to be part of the eternal manifestation like the supramental world or Maharloka. 

Sri Aurobindo describes them in a diagrammatic way in one of his early diary notes where he noted his own experiences and realisations.

Is drinking small quantities of alcohol really that bad? Most people I know consume alcohol in some measure. I noticed that the ones who quit it completely face backlash from Society. For example, I heard business people say that you can’t trust a person who doesn’t drink. 🥂💬🍸🎶[…]

It is not a question of good or bad from a moral point of view. But drinking alcohol is certainly harmful for the physical, as well as psychological and I would even say spiritual health. The list of physical problems is too long and generally too well known to elucidate. …

Dada, there is a professor at IISC who is a sadhaka in the sampradaya of Madhvacharya, and he says that, according to him, the way to find your Swadharma is to do what you can persistently despite failure.

That is one way of looking at it. But a slightly negative and outer way of looking at it. There are plenty of things we do which do not involve success or failure. We do it because we find a natural joy in it. This spontaneous joy …

Probably 4-5 years ago, I had read a book named ‘Immortal Talks’ by an author named Shunya. Last time I checked, the author hadn’t revealed their identity.
