Standing Naked in the Crowd of Ideas

Edit-Expanded 2022-05-19

Now and again,  my poetic voice compels me to condense  into few stanzas that, which took many years of  Soul level experiences, and its contemplative conclusions baptized with  sweat, blood and tears, cross-checked with my community of the adequate. . . In other words, (as evidenced by what I share) it takes many years of solitude and 'natural' (not forced)  surrender to the Supreme Divine,  countless Soul level Initiations and  Kundalini style karma burning, experiences,  prepared me for  the opportunity to bear witness to what I was destined to See/Feel/Know. . .
Standing Naked in the Crowd of Ideas, (poem)  uses  terminologies that can be found in most mystery traditions. Words like 'Angel',  'Goddess of Clear Light',  are terms for the fully ascended Soul  (because Her Essence is identical with the Supreme Divine).
The word 'naked'  implies  that, even the most exalted mind and its intellect doesn't have access to the domain where the  Divine Mystery  reigns. . .The Mystery of the Ineffable unveils its 'secrets' to the living Soul  at the apex of Her evolution. . .The She - who I sometimes call 'the Queen of Bliss' - speaks without uttering a single word through one who becomes completely transparent to the Depths of the Divine.
It takes a very long time for the custodians of supramental  Knowledge, to arrive at the stage-point where the vanity of the intellct's wisdom destroy's iteself in an empty space of Pure Knowing. Spiritual poetry word-bridges the personal I with God (by whatever name), by weaving into words the subtlety of meaning.
The one  I named my 'primary spiritual peer', Sri Aurobindo, knew, and brilliantly stated why the Supramental Yoga's 'perfection' takes a long time:
 
The Divine in his essence infinite and his manifestation too is multitudinously infinite. If that is so, it is not likely that our true integral perfection in being and in nature can come by one kind of realisation alone; it must combine many different strands of divine experience.
It cannot be reached by the exclusive  pursuit of of a single line of identity that is raised to its absolute; it must harmonise many aspects of the Infinite. An Integral consciousness with a multiform dynamic experience is essential for the complete transformation of our nature.
- Sri Aurobindo,  excerpt from: The Synthesis of Yoga


Cast in the language of the Soul, STANDING NAKED IN THE CROWD OF IDEAS, transcends the symbol-imagery of the intellect and its psychology:

The sacrificed intellect burnt up in the
Fires of the Mystical Heart, is free of concepts and ideas
Which mercilessly suck dry the vital powers of the
Goddess Clear Light.
The She Who Has Been, Is, And Will Be
Whose veil no mortal being has lifted
Speaks through One who stands naked in a crowd of ideas.
 (The) Angel of Profound Inner Illumination, whispers:
"Know Truth from your own experience.
Transparent tranquility, limitless calm and bliss
Will find you  in the arms of the She who sees the Self
 Present in all beings and all beings existing in the Self Divine."

* How is such a thing possible? The law of Bliss Similarity Coherence, links the human Bliss Body (non-biological Soul) with the Essence of the Supreme Beloved.
 In this context, Sri Aurobindo's term, "The supreme supracosmic Sachichidananda, is above all", means the same as 'the Essence of the Supreme Beloved'.

And, again, in Aurobindo's words excerpt from:  Savitri, Book Three, Canto Two, pg 314 - a perfect example of spiritual poetry at its finest.

Alone Her hands can change Time's dragon base.
Her's is the mystery of the Night concealed;
The spirit's alchemist energy is hers;
She is the golden bridge, the wonderful fire.
The luminous heart of the Unknown is she,
A power of silence in the depths of God;
She is the Force, the inevitable Word,
The magnet of our difficult ascent,
The Sun from which we kindle all our suns,
The Light that leans from the unrealised Vasts,
The Might of all that never yet came down.
All Nature dumbly calls to her alone
To heal with her feet the aching throb of life
And break the seals on the dim soul of man
And kindle her fire in the closed heart of things.

Why Sri Aurobindo Is Cool

American writer, author of over 32 books published and translated into 34 languages, dealing with topics of sociology, philosophy, mysticism, politics, ecology, psychology and spiritual evolution, Ken Wilber, recognised Sri Aurobindo's genius and literary contribution. Including short quote of praise of this brilliant mind (among others) from article titled:
The Evolution of Enlightenment - published in 2002, in What Is Enlightenment journal - and link to, Why is Aurobindo Cool, penned by Craig Hamilton.

"In a sense, the nondual realization, which at least became a historical realization for a fair number of people right around the turn of the century, including Sri Aurobindo, is still unfolding. I mean its, the world of form keeps unfolding, keeps evolving--spirit's own self-expression keeps unfolding--and it happens, as far as I can tell, to build on what it did yesterday, which is why evolution is indeed an unfolding event in the world of form. So as this incarnational nonduality, this ultimately ecstatic tantric nonduality itself, began to unfold, and its forms of manifestation began to unfold, you find that by the time you get to people like Sri Aurobindo, there's such a full-bodied understanding of this process. 
Even though some of the earlier sages were ultimately enlightened for their time, there's a richness, an  unfolding, a resonance of spirit's own incarnational understanding in some of the recent sages that just give you goose bumps.&
Under those circumstances, the type of descent that Sri Aurobindo was talking about, the descent of the supermind, is something that he certainly thought would be increacing in frequency as evolution continued. And I think that's the case".

I was not surprised when I read that Aldoux Huxley, Nobel laurate Pearl S. Buck, and others independently nominated Sri Aurobindo for the Nobel Prize in Literature.

I borrowed this blog's title from Craig Hamilton's article tilted: Why Sri Aurobindo is Cool:
I can't post direct links, but am more than happy to include one cool snippet from it - and if interested, check out the article at
https://journalofyoga.org/aurobindocool.pdf

"Almost all religious and mystical traditions, East and West, ultimately see the goal of spiritual practice as some kind of vertical lift off, out of this world into either a transcendent beyond, a heaven, or a final cessation in nirvana. Sri Aurobindo had the audacity to say that this view was a mistake. A big mistake. He even had the chutzpa to say it was a mistake made by Shankara and the Buddha."
