AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

You rightly speak about the necessity of women being given a fair chance and freedom in the modern world but in emphasizing this positive aspect don’t we also lose grip on reality and mask ourselves with glosses about the dark, chaotic, chthonic and subtle manipulative aspects of female nature😡. Young women of today have such cunning will to power by guilt tripping even boys with narratives parallel to Christian original sin about masculinity. Even the so called religious women are only religious in so far as it aggrandises them by saying how women are forms of the devi. many of them use both feminist narratives and also traditional narratives very conveniently as it suits them. I am asking this in the light of the recent suicide case that’s on news.

We have to see this not only cross sectionally but also longitudinally as they have developed and evolved over milleniums. Men being endowed with brute strength developed along certain lines whereby expression of emotions was seen as a sign of weakness. Women, on the other hand developed soft powers and did learn how to manipulate as this ensured that they too had their way. Now the clock has changed and there is this new found freedom, especially as defined by the western narratives. The result is what you describe. But this is because things are still in a flux as the balance is being reset. Besides Nature is striving for something new, a species that may well be beyond the masculine and the feminine, a healthy integration of the two. The solution lies there, in completing the further evolution of both men and women towards a new spiritual type. 

Basically crookedness etc are the result of living in the analytical mind and a clear, clean consciousness is the gift of the heart. Here too we see now a shift as more and more women are living in the analytical mind and hence prone to the ills that men were largely prone to. A free mixing with men has led to their imbibing some of the evils to which extremely competitive men are prone to. On the other hand men are benefiting with this free interchange as they are developing the long suppressed emotional and intuitive side. Soon this process will reach its peak, perhaps already has, leading to the emergence of a new type that would escape a strict compartment of man and woman which will be Nature’s offered solution. Relationship will also change from typical husband wife to a mutual friend. The only problem that will remain is reproduction and children but Nature will surely find a way for that as well by evolving two types of humanity, one with the traditional man-woman relation while the other evolving towards a gender neutral new spiritual type.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Are the processes of Purification and Transformation the same thing? I have a little confusion. In the process of Purification, we face some adverse forces that are mentioned by Sri Aurobindo in the chapter ‘The difficulties of Transformation’. Are they the same? 🔥🌄[…]

Purification is the indispensable basis for liberation. It means removing the covering and coating of ignorance and falsehood that veils the true self. In the yoga seeking for mukti, the purification has to be less thorough. It is enough to bring some sattwic rectitude in nature, satwasanshuddhi. Transformation proper..

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. …
