“… that part of humanity, of the human consciousness, capable of uniting with the Supermind and of liberating itself, will be completely transformed. This humanity is moving towards a future reality not yet expressed in its outer form. Whereas the part of humanity nearer to the simplicity of the animal or of Nature will be reabsorbed by Nature and entirely reassimilated. The possibility of a mental consciousness that allows for perversion—that makes mental perversion such an excruciating thing—will be abolished. It will disappear. These things will no longer be.” source: https://incarnateword.in/agenda/01/february-1958-1#p2

Everything needs to be transformed and can be transformed. What we call as perversion is the distortion of a Truth. Let’s say physical pleasure which leads to so much perversion. It is because the body and senses do not know the right way and being under the spell of falsehood and ignorance run after objects moved by crude desires.

Now if we learn to refine desires and refuse gross pleasures by steadily applying the will, if we offer all that the senses transmit with an aspiration that they become conduits of Her Light and Beauty and Peace and Joy and of course keep invoking the Grace, then slowly they turn away from stale, rotten stuff and begin to feel a new rush of joy in them.

So it is the perversion arising due to forces of ignorance such as lust, greed, fear, anger, ambition, egoism, etc that has to be abolished thoroughly (tyaga) and not the activity or object. This inner rejection is preliminary to the transformation.

Last night, I had another dream in which there was a small snake🐍 outside my old house, and with me was a friend whom I have met very few times and barely know. We tried to kill that snake, but it ran towards the drain of our old house. There, we saw another small snake, and both of them went inside the stone covering the drain. When we removed the stone, we saw a very large snake that extended into the neighbor’s house through that drain. I ran back and told my friend to step back because it was very dangerous. But my friend stayed there to kill it. The snake spoke and said, “How can I leave from here? I’ve been here for so many years.” The snake was very large and lived in the drain near our old house, with its tail inside the neighbor’s house. What does this mean, Alok Da?

It means some old hostile formation is around and while they are being chased, the main force behind them is deeply entrenched in that area. But all this will go as you keep calling the …

In mother’s book “Significance of Flower”💐 that is mentioned that integral gratitude is that which the whole being offers itself to the lord in absolute trust.” Can you elaborate this line to better understand for me. My another question is “what is the meaning of whole being?”
