AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

When The Mother 😇says, you think I am this one body, all are one divine body..or something like that please correct me if I am wrong.. but what does she mean?

The first statement is that we think that She is  this body (identifying Her only with the body alone) is erroneous, refers to the fact that She is not just limited to the body. Her body is no doubt special in terms of being built with a special purpose and due to the intense supramental Yoga, it has been a special condensation, a concentration of forces. But Her consciousness is not limited to Her one body and Her action is universal. 

The second statement is that the idea of seeing bodies as if separate bodies is also erroneous since there is but One Body. It refers to the universality of Matter (in fact of each plane). It is the ego that makes us feel this is my body, my mind, my thoughts, my feelings but in fact, all is a universal movement of Nature. Each wave of the sea is connected to every other wave and the whole sea. But the mind habitually cuts off a small portion and calls it mine. It implies that whatever is done in one body (Her body) will automatically spread as a contagion to other bodies. All earthly bodies are, in this widest sense parts of One Body interacting with and affecting each other. 

Affectionately,

Why is this so? Why is such a gigantic subject ignored🤔?

First of all there are a few presumptions there. Though Sri Aurobindo has appreciated Shakespeare and Goethe his appreciation of them is part of a general appreciation of all that is good in mankind. He has, for..

I had a question on a particular phrase in Savitri. “The universe is an endless masquerade: For nothing here is utterly what it seems; It is a dream-fact vision of a truth Which but for the dream would not be wholly true, A phenomenon stands out significant Against dim backgrounds of eternity; “What exactly is a “dream-fact vision of a truth”? Either we have dreams, or we have facts, two different order of realities🤔.

To think of the language of Savitri, it feels like Sri Aurobindo has stretched the bounds of the finite to the utmost, by capturing the
