AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Sri Aurobindo says that the third fundamental opposition which Matter offers to Spirit is the culmination of the principle of division and struggle. πŸŒ…[…]

Indivisible in reality, divisibility is its whole basis of action from which it seems forbidden ever to depart – ‘for its only two methods of union are either the aggregation of units or an assimilation which involves the destruction of one unit by another; and both of these methods of union are a confession of eternal division, since even the first associates rather than unifies and by its very principle admits the constant possibility and therefore the ultimate necessity dissociation, of dissolution. Both methods repose on death, one as a means and other as a condition of life.’

It means that it is due to the solidity and concreteness of material objects that the sense of separation gets firmly fixed in the mind. The only way to break this is to break the form or mold through whatever means, leading to death. In this sense, death becomes an instrument of life. But true unity should not annul diversity and the individuality.Β 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The Mother and Sri Aurobindo laughed at the stupidity of religous conversions. They saw Religion as a spent force which is destined to be overpassed by the growing spiritual impulse in man. The upsurge of conversions, whatever its temporary success is destined to fail. The evolving human soul cannot be satisfied for long in any …
