The beings and forces of darkness dwell in man as well. They lurk and hide in his subconscious depths and influence human life from within.
At the Feet of The Mother
Audio
Sri Aurobindo’s yoga aims to establish the Divine Consciousness in matter. Even now It operates hidden behind and veiled as well as distorted by the outer and lower nature. The work is complex and vast.
Aswapati now goes still deeper into the very heart of Night. He seeks to discover its source of strength and sustenance.
Sri Aurobindo now reveals to us spaces and domains inhabited with beings of darkness that imitate light.
Sri Aurobindo’s yoga is integral in nature, and knowledge, work and bhakti are its inevitable components. Whichever way we start, it slowly brings all the three streams and weaves them together.
It is the realm of the dark forces where Ego lords and falsehood sits by its side as mate.
Aswapati is now experiencing the realm from where evil emerges and corrupts earthly fruits.
Spiritual life is a life dedicated towards God realization or the seeking after Truth and Peace and Bliss. Religious life is however not so much of a seeking but living according to some belief systems. Sometimes religious life can be a preparation for the spiritual but very often it stops our progress by keeping us tied to certain fixed and limited formulas.
Aswapati now plunges into the Abyss to discover what supports evil in this world. He enters the dark and fallen worlds.
