Physical Consciousness and its Difficulties

Mar 27, 2018

Why all this suffering of the physical being on the way to the Divine?

It is the nature of the sadhana. The forces of the Ignorance are a perversion of the earth-nature and the adverse Powers make use of them. They do not give up their control of men without a struggle.

“Sri Aurobindo and the Indian Intelligentsia” – Prof. Mangesh V. Nadkarni

Mar 26, 2018

We have Indian bodies but our minds have become, if not completely Western, at least alien to the true Indian perspective. We are unable to appreciate India and its cultural and spiritual bases and tendencies except as seen by Western scholars.

The Negation by the Physical

Mar 23, 2018

What is the matter with [my present sadhana]? — one after another, attacks are persistently coming. [...]

This negation is the very nature of the physical resistance and the physical resistance is the whole base of the denial of the Divine in the world. [...] You have to face this character of the physical resistance and conquer it however often it may rise. It is the price of the transformation of the earth-consciousness.

Emergence of the Superman pp 81-82

Mar 23, 2018

When the human consciousness is stilled and turned upwards in a one-pointed aspiration, when the soul ascends to high luminous regions of the Spirit, when the descent of the greater Truth-Consciousness begins to remould us, then the Superman held within the folds of human consciousness begins to emerge into the world-play.

Mar 22, 2018

The Mother was back in Pondicherry, and she was never again to leave India. Over these years the foundation of the Ashram was laid, even though it was not consciously planned or discussed. Things took their own course and there was an organic development.

Science and Spirituality (HH 224)

Mar 22, 2018

The question of science meeting spirituality remains unresolved. Surely a time must come when these two lines will unite. We need to wait for that hour without haste or impatience. It is against this background that we shall read something from the Mother and Sri Aurobindo on this issue.

Will

Mar 21, 2018

This will in us is a reflection of Thy will in us, О Divine Mother, and this is the secret of its strength; it is here to take us back to Thee. Purified and transformed, it will be an effective instrument of Thy manifestation on the earth.

The Physical – Preface

Mar 21, 2018

It is the nature of the physical mind to be obstinate. Physical nature exists by constant repetition of the same thing [...]. When therefore we want to get rid of the old movements of physical nature, they resist by this kind of obstinate recurrence. One has to be very persistent in rejection to get rid of it.

Although consenting here to a mortal body, He is the Undying; limit and bond he knows not; For him the aeons are a playground, Life and its deeds are his splendid shadow.

The Deformed Chained God, pp. 510-513 (SH 259)

Mar 16, 2018

A talk by Dr Alok Pandey (AUDIO IN HINDI)

This power from god, embedded in our soul to help us move through the difficult and dangerous routes of our evolutionary future, is deformed in the ego-bound human consciousness. It becomes limited and distorted in the boundaries of the human ignorance and deviates from its true purpose.
