AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

What is falsehood, how to free ourselves from it?โŒ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐ŸŽญ๐Ÿคฅโ›“๏ธโ€๐Ÿ’ฅ

Falsehood is all that opposes the Truth, either directly or by imitating it. Truth, in the spiritual sense is not what the senses report, that is to say what we see, hear or even feel and think. These are at best temporary, intermediate truths and given their limitations, often its falsifiers. Truth is what resides deep within the heart and not the surface appearances in which and by which we live. Truth is the foundation of creation, the stable basis of creation. Truth is also in the movement impelled by the Divine Will. Human will often distorts and falsifies it. In simple words the only truth is the Divine and His Will in us. To live by that and for that is truth. To deviate from that under the influence of ego, desires, seeking for pleasure, or in obedience to society etc are, from the Divine point of view, all a mixture of falsehood. 

Affectionately,

At one end, aspiration for the Divine and to unite with Him and to have a change of consciousness; to do The Mother’s work; at the other end, need for a proper awareness in the very ordinary and externalised human nature about the deep meaning and implication of what is happening in life and also what the Divine Destiny is. ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป[…]

It is much better to catch the knot of life at the other end from where it all begins. The riddle of life cannot be understood on the surface. Focus on the one thing needful, the Divine, and all the rest will begin to fall in its place. This has been the experience of all who have gone on the path.ย

I am reading the Synthesis of Yoga and Sri Aurobindo is speaking about the union having a threefold character (pg. 131). I wanted to understand whether this is a skilful parallel to draw: a union by identity = Atman = Brahman ๐Ÿ“–๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป […]

Here is the passage from the Synthesis of Yoga to which you are referring.

‘That which is thus made manifest to our vision and experience, andย theย unionย has a threefold character. There is aย unionย in spiritual essence,ย byย identity; there is aย unionย byย the indwelling of our soul in this highest Being and Consciousness; there is a
