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.
Ascending from the soil where creep our days,
Earth's consciousness may marry with the Sun,
Our mortal life ride on the spirit's wings,
Our finite thoughts commune with the Infinite.
Here we take up questions that arise with regard to Indian Culture. At the same time we also discuss briefly the origin and the context of the Book ‘The Foundations of Indian Culture.’
The Divine Mother is here to transform the creation. For this She has come armed with the Power of boundless Love that embraces all things and lifts them to the One. She further reveals that Satyavan and Savitri have met and known and worked for this divine consummation from life to life.
As if she knew not facts are husks of truth,
The husks she keeps, the kernel throws aside.
An ancient wisdom fades into the past,
The ages' faith becomes an idle tale,
God passes out of the awakened thought....
