Here on earth, the Divine is manifesting Himself — through

Evolution — from Matter to Mind, and then onwards towards the

supramental race in a supramental world. This is Evolution. As Mind

 has evolved and is evolving, the principle of Supermind will also

descend on earth and be evolved.

Evolution aims at ultimately manifesting That which is the Source of

this Manifestation, the Supreme Existence-Consciousness-Bliss (in

Sanskrit and other Indian languages, Sat-Chit-Ananda or

Sachchidananda), the Divine. This principle of Existence-

Consciousness-Bliss is involved in Matter. That has become Matter.

 What is involved in Matter, is being evolved.


The aim of Sri Aurobindo’s Yoga is not the attainment of nirvâna or

moksha, not a freedom from the world and the cycles of birth and

rebirth. The aim is not spiritual selfishness. The aim is not to say that

others may continue to suffering, but we will leave this whirlpool.

However, we know that the mankind, along with this earth, is at

present in a great turmoil and chaos and disharmony. There is unrest,

struggle, warfare and violence everywhere.

Yet, man has the inborn capacity to conquer and master and

transform all his imperfections and all darkness and ignorance

around him, to grow into a creative, constructive, perfect and

divinized higher being. The human society may also grow

accordingly, conquering all darkness within and without, surpassing

all racial, religious, linguistic, political and other artificial barriers,

divisions and differences.

Sri Aurobindo and The Mother do not speak of the Realisation of the

Divine, of the Soul or the Psychic being, but also of an integral

transformation of the entire human personality — his mind, and life

 and body, also of his ascent to the several planes of the

Superconscient and to the Supermind.

Sri Aurobindo and The Mother aims at the total transformation of

the human existence and the world. They want to change the world,

the human lot. They know the bright and joyous future that the

Divine has designed for this earth. They told us : don’t leave this

world, change this; don’t give up yourself, transform yourself.

This is the Truth. We must participate in this Truth. We must

cooperate with the Divine. We must march onwards, by

transforming ourselves, towards becoming the supramental race in a

supramental world. That is the only Way now left for us, for the

human beings.

Sri Aurobindo has said that the time has come when man must

surpass himself. Man is not perfect. He is not complete. But he has

the aspiration and dream for attaining perfection and completeness.

Out of Man, the Superman shall manifest. Man has to become the

basis for the advent of the Superman. He has to become the

Superman. The purpose of the appearance of man must now be

fulfilled. Man’s surpassing himself will do that. Man has to

collaborate with the new Evolution, or the evolutionary forces will

ignore him and go beyond him and find out its own means.

If we do not accept the Truth, if we do not try to change ourselves

and the World, if we choose to continue with Old World of

ignorance and darkness, of suffering and struggle and death, then

result of our choice will be the Abyss.

The Mother has told us :

Men, countries, continents!

The choice is imperative: Truth or the abyss.

OOOO

This march onwards towards the Supramental Manifestation on earth

is not only an Idea or Ideal only. This is not an abstract ‘spiritual’

teaching. It is a practical Truth, a practical necessity.

The Ascent to Supermind and the Descent of the Supramental

Consciousness on earth makes the Evolution from Man to Superman possible.

Sri Aurobindo said:

“The supramental change is the thing decreed and inevitable in the

evolution of the earth-consciousness; for its upward ascent is not

ended and mind is not its last summit. But the change may arrive,

take form and endure, there is needed the call from below with a will

to recognise and not deny the Light when it comes, and there is

needed the sanction of the Supreme from above.”

Supermind is out of reach of the common ordinary mind. But when

Man reaches the higher regions of mind, namely the Higher Mind,

the Illumined Mind, the Intuitive Mind, and then the Overmind, as

defined by Sri Aurobindo, he can have the glimpses and the touch of

Supermind. It may be very difficult, even appear to be impossible.

But when the Supramental Consciousness is present on earth, things

should be now easier, much easier.

Now the Supermind is actively present on earth. Let me quote the

oft-quoted message of the Mother from Mother’s Agenda Vol.1:

First Supramental Manifestation

(During the common meditation on Wednesday

The 29th February 1956)

This evening the Divine Presence, concrete and material, was

present amongst you. I had the form of a living gold, bigger than the

universe, and I was facing a huge and massive golden door, which

separated the world from the Divine.

As I looked at the door, I knew and willed in a single movement of

consciousness, that ‘the time has come’, and lifting with both hands

a mighty golden hammer I struck one blow on the door and the door

was shattered to pieces.

And then the supramental Light and Force and Consciousness

rushed down upon earth in an uninterrupted flow.

The Mother has said in this connection:

The Manifestation of the Supramental upon earth is no more a

promise but a living fact, a reality. It is at work here, and one day

will come when the most blind, the most unconscious, even the most

unwilling shall be obliged to recognise it.

OOOO

The Mother had a Dream which is materializing As Auroville.

In Her “The Dream” The Mother has written :

“There should be somewhere upon earth a place … where all human

beings of goodwill, sincere in their aspiration, could live freely as

citizens of the world, obeying one single authority, that of the

supreme Truth; a place of peace, concord, harmony, where all the

fighting instincts of man would be used exclusively to conquer the

causes of his suffering and misery, to surmount his weakness and

ignorance, to triumph over his limitations and incapacities; a place

where the needs of the spirit and the care for progress would get

precedence over the satisfaction of desires and passions, the seeking

for pleasures and material enjoyments….

In brief, it would be a place where the relations among human

beings, usually based almost exclusively upon competition and strife,

would be replaced by relations of emulation for doing better, for

collaboration, relations of real brotherhood.”
