Home » Questions on Mother, Sri Aurobindo and Savitri » Sri Aurobindo writes in “The web of yoga”, “We can pass into the Paratpara Brahman, but we can’t know the Paratpara Brahman.” Does it mean attaining Nirvanam, The Total Merger, that nothing individual is left? So knowing is not possible in Nirvanam. Am I right in my understanding? 💫💖🪷✨
Yes because knowing implies a competition between the knower and the known. We can therefore become Brahman, not know IT as we know an object. We can lose ourselves into Brahman or express IT if such be the Will, but we cannot describe or define it as that belongs to the mind and the nature of Ignorance.
It is only the ego-individuality that is lost and not the true soul. Then we do not identify with the personality, but it becomes an instrument of the Divine.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
