The Logic of Evolution, pp. 112-113
Because all creation is interconnected and linked to the One, there is not only an interdependence but also a mutual drawing up of all things towards the Divine. But this process is graded as we are influenced by higher and higher levels of consciousness.

A weekly sharing on Savitri by Dr Alok Pandey (an audio recording in English).
Darshan Days at the Ashram – a Brief History and Significance
Coming to Darshan proper in its original sense, some people wonder why is it so difficult to see the Lord, the Divine who is the sole Omnipresent Reality behind appearances? It is clearly not a fault of the Deity within but a limitation of our own organ of sight. It is difficult for us even to behold the sun in our solar system except during sun rise and sunset…
Reading and Understanding Sri Aurobindo
A talk by Dr Alok Pandey at the 2018 Annual Study Circle at Garden House, Pondicherry. The talk touches upon some difficulties we encounter in reading Sri Aurobindo and ways to overcome them.
Sri Aurobindo in Baroda, Part 2

“The Unfinished Agenda of Spirituality” – Prof. Mangesh V Nadkarni
The world is preparing for a great change; and Sri Aurobindo and the Mother are our safest guides to this new world.The time has surely come for us as Indians to throw away the coloured glasses of our inherited and borrowed prejudices and to make an honest attempt to understand what they have been saying.

I pray to the Mother to see the plight of her child …. and know how the vital has filled it with agony and pain.
…. There must be no tamasic (inert, passive) surrender to the Mother…. Surrender must be luminous, active, a willed offering to the Mother and reception of her Force and support to its workings, at the same time a strong vigilant will to reject all that is not hers.

The Vast Oneness of Creation, pp. 110-112
Sri Aurobindo reminds us that there are greater and diviner possibilities concealed in the high peaks of Nature; a higher Nature beyond our limited lower Nature that the earth dreams to embody here. That is the original plan that the Divine Will intends upon earth and in man.
