Slow Deliberate Joy of Nature
v Nature has infinity before
her which she is enjoying.
v Nature deliberately puts
obstacles in the way of quick progress.
v Sri Aurobindo deliberately
puts obstacles in Mother's way.
v Until all the six are fully
ready – Unity, Truth, Goodness, Knowledge, Power and Love – Nature compels the
hurrying aspect to wait.
v One day we will learn that
whatever has happened had to happen.
v There is perfection above,
division below.
v Man can abridge 30,000 years
into 30 years.
v Fate is real, Free will too
is real. How to reconcile them?
v It can be explained in more
than one way.
v Philosophically the
determinism of the Infinite is the utter freedom of the Finite.
v Man is neither the
subconscient Nature nor the Superconscient Spirit. He represents the
all-inclusive Brahman. He always has a choice either to identify himself
with Nature or Spirit.
v Sri Aurobindo came on earth
as it is the Hour of God and man, if he chooses can abridge 30,000 years. He
withdrew because man not only did not respond, but betrayed Him and even prayed
for the victory of Hitler.
v Now that the Force is here,
man will be able to make that choice more easily.
v Nature is in Time, Spirit is
in Timelessness. Man alone when he chooses to evolve can move to Simultaneous
Time.
v In Time man enjoys the
disharmony of divided consciousness. Above, there is the static perfection. In
simultaneous Time, there is dynamic perfection.
v Man has to choose between
dynamic disharmony and dynamic perfection. In terms of life, man has the option
of moving from vital success to success of the Spirit.
