It is quite possible. Mona da told me this story of the Mother seeing the photographs of the revolutionaries. He didn’t mention anything about Bose. In any case, it is a passing remark and goes well with Subhash Bose’s love for the Motherland. Illumined psychic is a soul that has awakened. After all, he did admire Sri Aurobindo.

Besides love, intense passionate love can be quite blinding and make one oblivious of the dark side of things. Perhaps his love for India blinded him, and he could not see the Asura behind Hitler just as Tagore could not see the Asura behind Mussolini.

Yes, it is difficult for the physical mind to shift its fixed position and comfort zones..It feels lost and insecure. But once it accepts the New Idea then it gets firmly established there. It is somewhat like…

The talk sounded like you were putting down Marriage as a concept! True, some regions do this horse ride/wasting money, which is in bad taste. However, Marriage as a concept gives the monkey minds a framework. 🥸💍💒[…]

Yes, I agree that for the average human being, these outer frameworks and social institutions do serve a purpose of holding people together. Of course, as I mentioned, marriage or not, love and togetherness can be beautiful and ought to be so. But for that, man needs to evolve beyond the present frameworks, which operate as long as one accepts the limits of dos and don’ts. …
