Supermind Explains Itself

Edit-expanded 2024-09-28
Someone can study Sri Aurobido's writing for several decades and still declare: "I have been following a flexible approach as regards writings of The Mother and Sri Aurobindo by avoiding literalism" & "Sri Aurobindo advocated the spiritual approach as a solution to all problems, but his philosophy or yoga doesn't have and straighfoward method for direct access to spirituality. Nor is anyone's subjective spiritual experience verifiable."
Quotes from: Savitri Era blog, in Tusar Nath Mohaparta's words.

I was very tempted to tell this man he is misrepresenting Aurobindo's work, but stopped myself when I realized he was 'promoting' it work in many blogs. There is no way such a mind would accept 'correction' from anyone. . .Mr. Mohaparta is genuinely not aware that Supramental Yoga is for spiritually mature people - not aware that knowledge of the Supreme Truth cannot be projected into the intellect, because it completely transcends the comprehension of the recepient. This man's pride-mind thinks he is uniquely qualifed to promote Aurobindo's work, and if I were to 'disturb' him the wound to his pride might be too great to bear.

Those who 'know better', know that at the apex of one's Soul evolution into wholeness and transcendence, the She who exists to serve the ever-expanding evolution of understanding of the nature of Divine Reality (in all its aspects), Knows, what we bear witness to is not a theological claim, but a matter of experience resonant with those beings who in their innermost Sanctuary/ Soul became a vessel that can hold/bear the Supreme Descent.

Aurobindo writes: "The Life Divine is not philosophy but fact. It contains what I have realised and seen" + "The supramental Yoga is at once an ascent towards God and a descent of Godhead into the embodied nature. The ascent can only be achieved by a one-centered all-gathering upward aspiration of the Soul and mind and life and body; the descent can only come by a call of the whole being towards the infinite and eternal Divine. If this call and this aspiration are there, or if by any means they can be born and grow constantly, and seize all the nature, then and then only a supramental uplifting and transformation become possible.
The call and the aspiration are only first conditions; there must be along with them and brought by their effective intensity and opening of all the being to the Divine and total surrender. This opening is a throwing wide all the nature on all its levels and in all its parts to receive into itself without limits the greater divine Consciousness which is there already above and behind and englobing this mortal half-conscious existence.
In the receiving there must be no inability to contain, no breaking down of anything in the system, mind or life or nerve or body under the transmuting stress. There must be an endless receptivity, an always increasing capacity to bear and even stronger and more and more insistent action of the divine Force. Otherwise nothing great and permanent can be done; the Yoga will be in a break-down or an inert stoppage or a stultifying or a disastrous arrest in a process which must be absolute and integral if it is not be a failure.

But since no human system has this endless receptivity and unfailing capacity, the supramental Yoga can succeed only if the Divine Force that enters from above to work in nature. This is only possible if there is on our part a progressive surrender of the being into the hands of the Divine; there must be a complete and never failing assent, a courageous willingness to let the Divine Power do with us whatever is needed for the work that has to be done. *skip

Only when the conscious integral surrender to the Divine has been learned by mind and life and body, can the way of the Yoga become easy, straight, swift and safe."
Excerpts from: The Hour Of God, The Path.

THIS I knew and 'allowed', because I knew I was in 'good hands'. The Divine Shakti Force and its 'Deputies' - - same as: Vedic Gods, or Conscious Forces that represent powers of the Supermind, I riffed on in post titled: Path Ordained By God - - rescued my Divine Soul from its lower nature many years before I discovered Aurobindo's work. . .And when I did (discover) I was shocked how 'resonating' or 'verifying' his words were. And am not surprized I had couple of soul level 'mind melts', or encounters with him when the going got though.

Aurobindo words from his epic poem Savitri Book 5, Canto 2):
"Rare is the cup fit for lover's nectar wine. As rare the vessel that can hold God's birth; A soul made ready for through thousands of years Is the living mould of a suppreme Descent".
Mister Mohaparta didn't experience Soul lvel 'supreme Descent' and its transforming power, so he has no choice but reduce genuine Divine Revelations to something that makes sense to his not yet spiritualised consciousness.
Aurobindo did say, 'what you call thinking, I never do. I either see or I don't see'. Tusar's failure to "see" with the eye of Spirit the depth of Aurobindo's work satisfies his lower-stage ambitions.

Sri A's translation of the Rig Veda includes the following statement: "Confronted with the stately hymns of the ancient dawn, we are conscious of a blank incomprehension. And we leave them as prey to the ingenuity of the scholar who gropes for forced meanings amid obscurities and incongruities where the ancients (Rishis) bathed their souls in harmony and light."
Tusar and those in the same 'blank' boat folks, will one day see their error. . . Meantime, someone like me - a big nobody and a female - has an obligation to rescue from the hands of ignorance that which Grace bestowed on Sri Aurobindo.

Aurobindo did experience the transforming power of the Descent. If he did not, he wouldn't know that: "Supermind is an eternal reality of the divine Being and the divine nature." & "By the supermind is meant the full Truth-Consciousness of the Divine Nature in which there can be no place for the principle of division and ignorance; it is always a full light and knowledge superior to substance or mental movement." - Synthesis of Yoga.

But when asked: "Why not write something about Supermind which those people find difficlult to understand?", he replied: "What's the use? How much would anybody understand? Besides the present business is to bring down and establish the Supermind, not to explain it. If it establshed itself, it will explain itself - if it does not, there is no use explaining it. I have said some things about it in the past writings, but without success in enlightening anybody. So why repeat the endeavour?
"When he was asked: "When the Supermind descends into the earth-consciousness will all sadhakas be aware of it - the descent into the earth, I mean, not in themselves?". He replied: "It wouldn't be necessarily be known by everybody. Besides, even if the desent were here one would have to be ready to before one could get the final change." &
"It is true that I want the supramental not for myself but for the earth, and certainly therefore I cannot object if anybody wants the supramental. But there are conditions. He must want the Divine Will first and the soul's surrender and the spiritual realisation (through works, bhakti, knowledge, self-perfection) on the way."
YES!

I am uniquely qualified to confirm everything he said. I heard the CALL and responded. . .and have a moral duty to obey the inner call of my vocation by bearing witness to what happens on the Path of Deep Esoteric Truth - in the Supramental Yogic Science field - when 'everything is ready'.
