"Ever disguised she awaits the seeking spirit; 
Watcher on the supreme unreachable peaks, 
Guide of the traveller of the unseen paths,
She guards the austere approach to the Alone. "

Savitri - The World Soul

ALL LIFE IS YOGA(sarva (ananta) jivanam nitya-yogamastu)

 

        “One must accept infirmity and even accept looking like an imbecile, one must accept everything, and there is not one person in fifty millions who has the courage to do it (Sri Aurobindo told me I was the only one!…[laughing] It may be so!). Many have also gone off elsewhere, into other, more or less subtle worlds— you see, there are millions of ways to escape, but only one way to stay: that is to have courage and endurance, to accept all the appearances of infirmity, powerlessness, ignorance—the appearances of the very negation of truth. But if one does not accept that, nothing will ever change. As for those who want to go on being great, luminous, strong, powerful and so on and so forth, well, let them stay where they are, they cannot do anything for earth.”

The Mother's Agenda-25.09.1965

            (The Mother's above Subconscient transformation experience hints that if one very rarest of the rare Soul has Supramental force at his disposal then he can adventure into the dark Inconscient and Subconscient Sheaths to face and confront all infirmity, powerlessness and negations and Divinise them.

            The Savitri book has a message to the aimless and issueless circling human race to be conscious of the issue and aim of Savitri within, who must accumulate Soul Force in order to confront and wrestle endlessly with the riddle of human birth and the shadow of negative energies till the last breath and to trace a path of immortality. Her Soul’s issue is to change the human destiny through Yogic discipline, initially by the movement of ascending and descending Consciousness and finally to reach an apex Consciousness of world destiny where all is won by the dynamization of Supreme Mother Consciousness or all is lost for man by non-dynamization of static Witness Supreme Consciousness.

           

            The most difficult task for a Sadhak is the extreme accumulation of the ‘Spirit’s bare and absolute potencies’ (Savitri-57) to become mightier than all the forces of the material and vital world and wrestle with Matter to meet and confront victoriously dark Inconscient forces of naked Hell, compel active dynamic unification of cosmic Nature and ‘last and mightiest transformation’ (Savitri-318) of mundane surface Nature. Then he emerges as Universalised individual Soul Centre with a liberated immobile Soul and transformed mobile Nature. 

"Whoever is too great must lonely live.

Adored he walks in mighty solitude;

Vain is his labour to create his kind,

His only comrade is the Strength within." Savitri-368

 

            When a high Soul takes birth on earth, it becomes difficult for him to find equal Souls, who can help him accomplish his Divine Mission of fourfold Divine union. Till the arrival of equal destined companions or till the finding of complementary Souls, he must live alone with his Psychic Being and must be isolated from any inferior human association. The desperate effort made to create, nurture and build an equal Soul is identified here as a waste of time and vain effort.

            Savitri is a representative symbol of Incarnation and myriad Instruments and Emanations, always present close to earth’s atmosphere with the single mission of divinising the clay. The above verse recognises them as '‘the sun-eyed children of a marvellous dawn" (Savitri-343) or 'Omnipotent's flaming pioneers' (Savitri-343) and they should not squander their time in building Souls of their own kind but to utilise time to accumulate Spiritual energy and canalise this Transcendent Force to earth and men. They will learn the lesson to depend on their own Spiritual energy rather than on collective force. The Mother defined her universal world action in the following terms:

            “In the night, I am always given a state of human consciousness to put right, one after another—there are millions of them. And there are always all the images and events that illustrate that particular state of consciousness. At times, it is very hard going: I wake up tired, as after a long period of work.”

The Mother

The Mother’s Agenda-5/p-170-71

             “All the mornings are difficult...for instance, all the vibrations from sick people, all those problems of life come from everywhere. And for those three hours, there is tension, struggle, acute seeking for what should be done or for the attitude to be taken...It is that time I have tested the power of mantra...I repeat my mantra automatically, without stopping; and every time the difficulty increases, a kind of Power comes into those words and acts on Matter...It saves the situation at critical moments...it restores order.”

The Mother’s Agenda-5/p-225

“A million wounds gape in his (Avatar’s) secret heart...

The sorrow of all living things shall come

And knock at his (Avatar’s) doors and live within his house;”

Savitri-446

(Savitri said) "Are there not still a million fights to wage?"

Savitri-687

           This large-scale subtle-physical world action executed by an Avatar can be repeated on a relatively small scale by His instruments and emanations. In the long run, the whole of humanity will be prepared to divinise themselves. All the Divine opulence will be given to them by opening themselves towards the Supreme Self and dynamisation of Sachchidananda Consciousness in life and action.)

            “Earthly realisations easily take on a great importance in our eyes, for they are proportionate to our external being with this limited form which makes us men. But what is an earthly realisation beside Thee, before Thee? However perfect, complete, divine it may be, it is nothing but an indiscernible moment in Thy eternity; and the results obtained by it, however powerful and marvellous they may be, are nothing but an imperceptible atom in the infinite march to Thee. This is what Thy workers must never forget, otherwise they will become unfit to serve Thee.”

            "All must be done for the Divine; all must be directed towards the Divine. Nothing must be attempted for ourselves as a separate existence; nothing done for others, whether neighbours, friends, family, country or mankind or other creatures merely because they are connected with our personal life and thought and sentiment or because the ego takes a preferential interest in their welfare. In this way of doing and seeing all works and all life become only a daily dynamic worship and service of the Divine in the unbounded temple of his own vast cosmic existence. Life becomes more and more the sacrifice of the eternal in the individual constantly self-offered to the eternal Transcendence."

Sri Aurobindo

            “Then there were the few—the rare individuals— who are ready to make the necessary effort to prepare themselves for the transformation and to attract the new forces, try to adapt matter, seek the means of expression and so forth. Those are ready for Sri Aurobindo’s Yoga. They are very few. There are even those who have the sense of sacrifice and are ready have a hard and difficult life, as long as it leads them or helps them towards this future transformation. But they should not, they should in no way try to influence others and make them share their own effort: that would be quite unjust – not only unjust, but extremely clumsy because it would alter the universal – or at least terrestrial – rhythm and movement, and instead of helping, it would cause conflicts and result in chaos.”

The Mother's Agenda/27th November, 1965

 

            This website partly fulfills the instruction issued in Sri Aurobindo’s principal Teachings, The Synthesis of Yoga that a Sadhaka of integral Yoga must be accountable for his Sadhana to the Self, World and Divine. The quality of an individual and an institution is measured by the degree of Truth, Purity and Knowledge they have worked out from a Transcendent Source. An individual (or an institution) is weighed by the accumulation of the quantum of overhead Divine Will, Divine Wisdom and Divine Love, that has descended to his purified vessel and that he will carry as accumulated Soul Force in successive births. The Most conscious individual prepares himself to become a channel through which an incalculable amount of Divine Force, Love, Delight, Wisdom and Beauty rushes into the earth’s atmosphere. Thus he contributes to the enrichment of the present earth’s existence, sarvabhuta hiteratah, and uplifts the earth's obscure Fate. His all-embracing universal Divine Love is independent of all outer circumstances, and expression and he needs no external support, bahya avalambana, to meet Divine's single touch in the world's intimate contacts but is wholly dependent on inner aid, antara avalambana, of faith, sincerity and surrender. His transcendent Divine Love is a stranger to all human relations and this Divine Love labours in the depths of dark Inconscient and exults on the heights of Sachchidananda Consciousness and shall remake this naked hardest material world. (Refer: CWSA-24/The Synthesis of Yoga-631, Savitri-476, 592)

           This website partly fulfills the spirit of constant renovation through the descent of overhead new wisdom in compliance with 'absolute liberty' authorised to a Sadhak of Integral Yoga: "...all truth and practice too strictly formulated becomes old and loses much, if not all, of its virtue; it must be constantly renovated by fresh streams of the spirit revivifying the dead or dying vehicle and changing it, if it is to acquire a new life.... An absolute liberty of experience and of the restatement of knowledge in new terms and new combinations is the condition of its  self-formation." (Refer: CWSA-23/The Synthesis of Yoga/p-5, 56)

            The Synthesis of Yoga book proposes that all written truth and living Spiritual teachers are partial guides and secure effective narrow practice respectively. In the life of a twice-born Soul, their presence is reinforced and complemented by awakening the ‘the eternal Veda secret in the heart of every man’ and awakening of the inner Guru, Jagad Guru and Supreme Guru who dwells in his universalised Psychic heart centre. (Refer: CWSA-23/The Synthesis of Yoga/p-57, 55, 61)
