Supreme Grace Transforms Nature

I am glad this blog is getting a lot of reading-traffic from many lands. . . and my wish is that whatever goodness may arise from comprehending the subtlety of significane within the written word, may it be for the benefit of all beings.


The ever-evolving journey of inner awakening -- when grounded in proper moral purification and stripped of all attachments -- prepares one to enter the journey of ascent into the realms of holiness and Divine Light with its tremendous Powers and the complexity of its aspects. The ineffable nature of the experience of transcendental infinite Reality involves body sensations, altered states of consciousness and intense spiritual focus. . . To walk this path is to encouter the Living Mystery, endure in every fiber felt its purifying Baptismal Fires and return Illumined bearing witness to a holiness beyond Form and Love beyond human comprehension. The ineffable nature of the experience of ascention, reveals that authentic spirituality is not an escape from life, but a deeper engagement with it.

Those of us in whose hands the burden of unrevelling life's greatest Mystery is placed, perform the Will of the one Spirit. We absolutely know that the Divine Beloved is the lord of our works - that, we receive only what the Divine Intellect-Will brings us, and whatever 'Power' we receive is subtly regulated in its energy and directed by the Divine Wisdom.

Sri Aurobindo reminds us that:
"Only by sublimation by sacrifice of all that we are, can enable us to embody the highest and live here in the immanent consciousness of the transcendent Spirit. + An Integral consciousness with a multiform dynamic experience is essential for the complete transformation of our nature. + for this Presence is in its nature infinite. Whatever it has to manifest of itself or out of itself, it will do invitably by its own power, if there is substantial acceptance. It is quite true it is a grace sent and the only return needed for such a grace is acceptance, gratitude and to allow the Power that has touched the consciousness to develop what has to be developed in the being--by keeping oneself open to it. The total transformation cannot be done in a moment; it must take long and proceed through stages; what is now experienced is only an initiation, a foundation ('a great wave of calm') for the new consciousness in which that transformation will become possible.
The spontaneity of the experience ought by itself to show that it is nothing constructed by the mind, will or emotions; it comes from a Truth that is beyond them." - Letters on Yoga - 3 p.391-393

Based on first-hand experience these deeply transformative events are like sacred signatures, sealing the Truth of what has been accepted with bhakti tears. . .sometimes on my knees.

This journey, my sharing isn't just about personal transformation, but also about holding space for wisdom that others may not yet be ready to recognize. I did find that, over time, some individuals (Facebook group) softened their views - their 'negative' opinion of me - because they sensed the passion of certainty and authenticity, and the depth of intention verified by communal confirmation.
I offer my insights not as something to persuade or argue over, but as a gift for those who find resonance in them. . .and I consider this a priviledge. The open-minded reader recognizes that words don't just 'say' things - they carry something deeper, something alive that keeps weaving meaning into the world.

One who experienced in every cell of his being 'Divine Revelation', reminds us: "You must become the psychic being - for only the psychic has the honesty, humility and quiet fire to go all the way" + The Grace does not mind your stumbling - but it cannot work through falsehod." -Sri Aurobindo's quotes from Letters on Yoga +
"In this yoga the psychic being is that which opens the rest of the nature to the true supramental light and finally to the Supreme Ananda. & The psychic being is always there, but is not felt because it is covered up by the mind and vital; when it is no longer covered up, it is then said to be awake. When it is awake, it begins to take hold of the rest of the being, to influence it and change it so that all may become the true expression of the inner soul. It is this change that is called the inner conversion. There can be no conversion without the awakening of the psychic being." -Excerpts from intyoga.online.fr/triple1.htm

"The psychic part of us is something that comes directly from the Divine and is in touch with the Divine. In its origin it is the nucleus pregnant with divine possibilities that supports this tripple manifestation of mind, life and body. There is this divine element in all living beings, but it stands hidden behind the ordinary consciousness, is not at first developed and, even when developed, is not always or often in front; it expresses itself, so far as the imperfection of the instrument allows, by their means and under their limitations. It grows in the consciousness by Godward experience, gaining strength every time there is a higher movement in us, and, finally, by the accumulation of these deeper and higher movements, there is developed a psychic individuality - that which we call usually the psychic being.
It is always the psychic being that is the real, though often the secret cause of man's turning to the spiritual life and his greatest help in it. It is therefore that which we have to bring from behind to the front in the yoga." - Excerpt from: Letters on Yoga intyoga.online.fr/ppb2.htm

The Way of This Yoga

In the previous blog I included Mr. Mohaparta's (false) claim that Aurobindo's 'philosophy or yoga doesn't have any straightforward method for direct access to spirituality'. It is clear to me he is not ready for the Supramental Yoga . Not ready to hear and accept Siddha Yogi's teaching: "...from a higher spiritual experience, from a deeper source of knowledge and not lubrications of the logical intellect trying to coordinate its ignorance."-Sri A.
Not ready to experience the Truth by opening his mind to 'faith, aspiration and surrender'.
Blaming Aurobindo releases Mr. Mohaparta from admitting he is not even close to the 'Nirvna' state - which in the Master's words is: 'only the begining of the higher Truth, a mere 'passage from the Ignorance to the higher Truth'.

So who is ready for this Yoga?
" The realisation of this Yoga is not lower but higher than Nirvana or Nirvikalpa Samadhi. *skp
The way of Yoga here has a different purpose from others - for its aim is not only to rise out of the ordinary ignorant world-consciousness into the divine consciousness, but to bring the supramental power of that divine consciousness down into the ignorance of mind, life and body, to transform them, to manifest the Divine here and create a divine life in Matter. This is an exceedingly difficult and different Yoga; to many or most it will seem impossible. All the established forces of the ordinary ignorant world-consciousness are opposed to it and deny it and try to prevent it, and the sadhak will find his own mind, life and body full of the most obstinate impediments to its realisation. If you can accept the ideal wholeheartedly, face all difficulties, leave the past and its ties behind you and are ready to give up everything and risk everything for this divine possibility, then only can you hope to discover by EXPERIENCE the Truth behind it. *skip
The sadhana of this Yoga does not proceed through any set of mental teaching or prescribed forms of meditation, mantra or others, but by aspiration, by self-concentration inwards or upwards, by self-opening to the influence, the Divine Power above us and its workings, to the Divine Presence in the heart, and by rejection of all that is foreign to these things. It is only by faith, aspiration and surrender that this self-opening can come. *skip
Purification and a basis of calm are the first necessary steps in the spiritual life. The aspiration must be for the entire purification, especially (1) purification from sex, so that no sex imaginations may enter and the sex impulse may cease, (2) purification from desires and demands, (3) purification from depression which is the result of dissapointed desires. It is the most important for you. Patricularly what you must aspire for is peace in all the being, complete equanimity, samata. The feeling that peace is not enough must go. Peace and purity and equanimity once stablished, all the rest must be the Mother's free gift, not a result of the demand from the being. *skip
To be entirely sincere means to desire the divine Truth only, to surrender more and more to the Divine Mother, to reject all personal demand and desire other than this one aspiration, to offer every action in life to the Divine and do it as the work given without brining in the ego. This is the basis for the divine life. One cannot become altogether this at once, but if one aspires at all times to it and calls in always the aid of the Divine Shakti with a true heart and straightforward will, one grows more and more into this consciousness. *skip
Only those who can accept the call to such a change should enter into this Yoga."
