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,

Namaste Sir. If, in a relationship like marriage, there is no mutual respect for each other, what should be its fate? Marriage seems like a compromise, a cage, a dependency for the child’s future. I always pray to my mother to help me overcome such dependency. When bitterness overrides love, life searches only for escape. 💗🌿

A marraige that does not fulfil certain basic conditions is not a marraige at all but a forced togetherness for both. Love and mutual respect are fundamental to any relationship, much more so in a marraige where love goes to the extreme of complete trust and self giving. Of course if one has a child it is not easy to separate and perhaps …

My intuition about life, love and happiness has always been proven wrong. Still, I live with an intuition for a dreamful life. This sometimes gives pleasure and sometimes pain; are there any options to move out? 🌱✨

It is not your intuition or dream or aspiration for a beautiful, happy life with love as its core and minister that is wrong. It is just that humanity is not yet ready for such a life and so will it be as long as ego and desires rule our nature. The dream is correct but the means to realise it are missing. As a matter of fact Intuition always sees far off as the eyes see the sky. But the feet can only walk barely two steps at a time on the ground. It is this gap …

Just had a phone call with an astrologer + tantra expert from Tarapith, West Bengal, regarding my situation. He told me that he made offerings to Mahakal related to my problems and said ki aapke upar kala jaadu hua hai by some muslim tantrik. 🙏🏻🕊️[…]

What else you expect if instead of having faith in the Divine Mother herself before whom no magic can stay, you are having faith in black magic and astrologers! Instead of lamenting and running here and there if only you could have faith in the Divine and aspire for the Divine Peace and Grace then all this will be behind you. It is your …
