Organisation
of Personality -- Potentials in the Society
·
As
water finds its level, force automatically organises itself into power.
·
That
organisation is done by the social mould even as the paper running through the
machine is printed on by the matter composed.
·
Society is a self-existing
force which instantaneously converts energy of any level into the next higher
level, here force into Power.
·
God
or the Absolute discloses to Man as his seeking deserves or determines, e.g.
§
Mind
sees the Absolute as Sat or Chit or Ananda, i.e., Mind in ignorance sees life
or meets life as pain or pleasure.
§
Supermind
sees the Absolute as a universe of Marvel, as the Absolute has changed itself
into Infinite Consciousness and then a universe of joy.
§
A
physical person sees the world as objects, a vital one as a world of energies.
·
The
Absolute is ever ready to reveal, reveal in terms of the seeker. As the seeking is, so is the revelation.
·
The
above philosophical truth, for the purpose of this article, reduces itself into
a few truths:
§
Man's
seeking is ever-present.
§
His
seeking is cast into a type.
§
The
universe READILY pours itself into that mould.
§
Thus the personality of man
is shaped by the vigorous potentialities of the society.
§
So,
Man gets what he seeks for.
§
Society
can give him ANYTHING if only he wants.
§
The
powers of the society are endless and exist in successive graded layers.
§
Man
is eternally endowed with choice.
§
He
chooses to progress or conserve what he is.
§
There
are times when the social potentials are limited.
§
Even
the potentials of the universe could be limited.
§
Now
the universe after 1956 has opened endlessly.
§
Society
too is pregnant with infinite possibilities.
§
For
us in India it is in three dimensions --
1) The least we can
aspire for is Prosperity imitating other nations;
2) By blending that
with our original spiritual IMPULSE, we
will be trail
blazers for the world;
3) By taking our own ORIGINAL spiritual treasure
to its own
logical conclusion -- Sri
Aravindam -- India will become JAGATGURU.
a) The above three phases are equally true in
national education.
b) They are poignantly true in personal
education.
c) What matters is the individual's comprehension.
d) What matters is the individual's choice.
e) What matters is the continuation of that attitude.
§
This
is what The Gita means by its call.
§
This
is the principle of the Yoga of Self-Perfection.
§
Do
you see the society is organised thus?
§
Do
you see these infinite possibilities?
§
If
you see them all, want them, a DECISION to shift from our consciousness to
the
higher
consciousness is called for.
§
The
work itself is enormous but it is NOT so much physical as Spiritual in the Mind
that manifests itself as results in the physical material plane of the field
chosen by the individual.
