Home » Questions on Mother, Sri Aurobindo and Savitri » Sri Aurobindo writes in his book Essays Divine and Human: “Matter, Life, Mind, Supermind or Gnosis, and beyond these the quadruple power of a supreme Being-Consciousness-Force-Bliss—these are the grades of the evolutionary ascent from inconscience to the Superconscience.” (pg.249) He also writes that “The evolution of the earth nature is not finished because it has manifested only three powers out of the seven-fold scale of consciousness that is involved in manifested Nature. It has brought out from its apparent inconscience only the three powers of Mind and Life and Matter.” (pg.244) Can we infer from this that after Supermind, the luminous planes of Sat, Chit and Ananda will be evolving here on earth🧐? Of course, the question is mainly to know if I have correctly comprehended Sri Aurobindo’s vision of evolution and its fulfilment here on earth

Absolutely so. After the Supramental Manifestation and the Supramental body there will be the Manifestation of Bliss and the bliss body. Sri Krishna worked for that eventual fulfilment but the base of Truth Consciousness has to be first firmly established upon earth.

The difference however will be that right now this evolutionary emergence is a painful process involving much struggle due to the hard grip of ignorance. With the Supramental Manifestation the further emergence will be a conscious happy process undertaken in freedom and delight. Whether and what way the further Manifestation beyond the Bliss Self will take place is difficult to say since creation has begun with delight. With the full recovery of the delight of existence there would likely be an unending play of existence and consciousness in countless bodies of bliss, the Maharasa envisaged by the Hindu mystics.

Affectionately,

Listening to your talks, I wonder if humanity’s current psychological turmoil stems from the pressure of the Supramental descent forcing hostile vital forces to cling more desperately to earth—much like Arjuna’s Visada Yoga at the start of his transformation. 🤔🌍🫨🌾[…]

If one were to summarise it in one sentence then one can say, in the deepest mystic sense, that the world has forgotten the Divine and suffers because of that. Instead, the average human being has not only turned away…

Thank you so much for your beautiful and profound response explaining the difference between liberation (Mukti) and higher spiritual states. Your spiritual insight is truly wonderful.

It will depend upon the mantra as well as the wish, desire or aspiration, as it may be, in the heart of the sadhak. There are mantras that do grant material happiness as well as wisdom. So it is perfectly possible to get these benefits through specific mantras. At the …

Respected Alok da, when you realised Maa is everything and in everything. Then, if you go for Puja Rituals like Brata-Upabasha according to Hindu Dharma (you see Mother in every Gods), then is that insincerity to Maa? Should I do it or not? 🙄🙏🏻👨🏻‍👩🏻‍👧🏻‍👦🏻🛕🌸

As far as I am concerned everything else dropped naturally, effortlessly. I was anyways not much into rituals and knew that many of these things are aadambar and have little to do with Hindu Dharma. Neither the Gita nor the…
