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.

My friend called me and told me that he had a dream in which I was reading Savitri and explaining to him how Savitri accepts and embraces human struggles. Then he told me that he felt a strange sense of déjà vu, as if he had already told me about this before. Is there any meaning to this dream? 📖💭

This dream suggests an old connection with Savitri, the book, and perhaps with you as well. It seems something deeply imprinted in the psychic being, some kind of a soul memory or so. Difficult to say more than that.

There is nothing wrong in telling about your previous Guru if you felt he would be the right person to guide and help. In general however it is best to avoid giving unasked help or advice. It often detracts one from the true purpose of sadhana which is primarily …

Connecting the dots began when Their words gave meaning and touch to my life. When adverse forces rushed in and urged me to escape the cosmos, Sri Arvind and Sri MA anchored me with the truth that Her work is to be done right here on Earth. I learned that true understanding does not lie in the mind’s synthesis, but in quietude and inner union. First Union with the Divine, then Work. 🌸🙏🏻

Yes, I understand. What I have understood as the essence and crux of this yoga is opening and surrender to The Mother. The whole secret and safety lies in this central secret of the integral Yoga as Sri Aurobindo put it. Here are few passages that reveal to us the core of the integral yoga.

‘By remaining psychically open to the Mother, all that is necessary for work or sadhana develops progressively,…
