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,

I yearn to break free from the impulses of this vital-level attachment—a struggle I have been engaged in for quite some time. I can clearly observe its surges, its mechanisms, and the way it weaves a web of will to control my mind and inflict pain upon me. 😣🙏🏻🍂🦋[…]

I am sure The Mother will pull you out through everything. Keep your faith and aspiration growing. Offer all this pain and surrender yourself completely to Her. She will turn the tears into pearls of wisdom and strength.

Sending my prayers and Her Love for swiftly emerging out of this pain and taking once again the royal road to progress…

I watched ‘The Odyssey’ today, and I must say it was an Absolute Masterpiece. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Some scenes moved me deeply—especially when Argos, the faithful dog, recognized Odysseus, and when Telemachus realized that the beggar standing before him was actually his father. Those moments felt profoundly symbolic and touched something beyond the story itself. 🎬😯⛵🗾[…]

The Odyssey and The Iliad are truly masterpieces of Homer. I have not watched the film but have read an English translation of the original book. Odysseus comes across as the key instrument like Arjuna in the Mahabharata. He is the favourite of goddess Athena or Maheshwari. Penelope is, if seen with the eye of an Indian, is a Sati, …

A few days ago, I had a dream where rain was pouring in through the window of my room, directly onto my bed. I got scared and stood before a picture of my Guru. Silently, I said to myself, “As long as Guruji is with me, no one can harm me.” 📖🙄🙏🏻🌼[…]

Rain coming through the window is Grace but for some reason you are unable to accept it and hence go towards your Guru. The Guru points out to you to turn towards Savitri which embodies the Divine Mother’s Love and to …
