AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

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 am interested in your views on parallel universes collapsing upon one another. I have lost my youngest son, but he still resonates here in this reality that cannot be seen with my eyes. I lost my husband in 2008. 😊🙏🏻🪷💖[…]

It has always been known to mystics that parallel universes do exist and nothing is really lost, it only changes form and continues to exist in this or other worlds. Though the material senses cannot reach out to those who pass beyond the earthly limits, yet we have within us immaterial senses that can come in contact with those who…

Greetings, Dada. I want to ask a common and perhaps silly question today. We often get hurt when someone repeatedly takes advantage of us. They get their work done by us, but the same person always deceives us, even though we are always there for them in every problem. 😥🌹🦋✨[…]

This happens because there are several parts in us, each with different degrees of development. Usually it is a part of the mind that understands but the heart follows its own way of attachment. Unless the tendency of attachment changes into love and compassion, this difficulty continues. In fact it is through these experiences …

I had a dream early this morning that I was standing in probably Srinagar somewhere, as I have a house there, right next to the river Jhelum. And I see a huge muddy tidal wave coming in the distance. I think this is it and I am ready for it, but start calling out to Maa. 🌊🏔️😊🙏🏻🌻[…]

The meaning is crystal clear. It was indeed a surge of world forces, adverse in nature, possibly connected with your roots (circumstances of physical birth) coming your way, that have been pushed back by the Mother’s Help…
