Bernhard Guenther (www.veilofreality.com
and www.bernhardguenther.com) shared
some words of Sri Aurobindo (1872-1950), an Indian nationalist, philosopher, yogi, guru
and poet, on Facebook recently, and I want to excerpt from them here. It is suggested these words be read slowly so
as to enhance the reader’s understanding. The words seem very appropriate for these
times.
"There are
forces, and subliminal experience seems to show that there are supraphysical
beings embodying those forces, that are attached in their root-nature to
ignorance, to darkness of consciousness, to misuse of force, to perversity of
delight, to all the causes and consequences of the things that we call evil.
These powers, beings or forces are active to impose their adverse constructions
upon terrestrial creatures; eager to maintain their reign in the manifestation,
they oppose the increase of light and truth and good and, still more, are
antagonistic to the progress of the soul towards a divine consciousness and
divine existence. It is this feature of existence that we see figured in the
tradition of the conflict between the Powers of Light and Darkness, Good and
Evil, cosmic Harmony and cosmic Anarchy, a tradition universal in ancient myth
and in religion and common to all systems of occult knowledge.”
“The theory of this
traditional knowledge is perfectly rational and verifiable by inner experience,
and it imposes itself if we admit the supraphysical and do not cabin ourselves
in the acceptation of material being as the only reality. As there is a cosmic
Self and Spirit pervading and upholding the universe and its beings, so too
there is a cosmic Force that moves all things, and on this original cosmic
Force depend and act many cosmic Forces that are its powers or arise as forms
of its universal action. Whatever is formulated in the universe has a Force or
Forces that support it, seek to fulfill or further it, find their foundation in
its functioning, their account of success in its success and growth and
domination, their self-fulfillment or their prolongation of being in its
victory or survival.”
“As there are Powers
of Knowledge or Forces of the Light, so there are Powers of Ignorance and
tenebrous Forces of the Darkness whose work is to prolong the reign of
Ignorance and Inconscience. As there are Forces of Truth, so there are Forces
that live by the Falsehood and support it and work for its victory; as there
are powers whose life is intimately bound up with the existence, the idea and
the impulse of Good, so there are Forces whose life is bound up with the
existence and the idea and the impulse of Evil.”
“It is this truth of
the cosmic Invisible that was symbolized in the ancient belief of a struggle
between the powers of Light and Darkness, Good and Evil for the possession of
the world and the government of the life of man; […] Modern thought is aware of
no invisible forces other than those revealed or constructed by Science; it
does not believe that Nature is capable of creating any other beings than those
around us in the physical world, men, beasts, birds, reptiles, fishes, insects,
germs and animalculae. But if there are invisible cosmic forces physical in
their nature that act upon the body of inanimate objects, there is no valid
reason why there should not be invisible cosmic forces mental and vital in
their nature that act upon his mind and his life-force. And if Mind and Life, impersonal forces, form
conscious beings or use persons to embody them in physical forms and in a
physical world and can act upon Matter and through Matter, it is not impossible
that on their own planes they should form conscious beings whose subtler
substance is invisible to us or that they should be able to act from those
planes on beings in physical Nature.”
“Whatever reality or
mythical unreality we may attach to the traditional figures of past human
belief or experience, they would then be representations of things that are
true in principle. In that case the first source of good and evil would be not
in terrestrial life or in the evolution from the Inconscience, but in Life
itself, their source would be supraphysical and they would be reflected here
from a larger supraphysical Nature. This is certain that when we go back into
ourselves very deep away from the surface appearance, we find that the mind,
heart and sensational being of man are moved by forces not under his own
control and that he can become an instrument in the hands of Energies of a
cosmic, character without knowing the origin of his actions. It is by stepping back from the physical
surface into his inner being and subliminal consciousness that he becomes
directly aware of them and is able to know directly and deal with their action
upon him. He grows aware of interventions which seek to lead him in one
direction or another, of suggestions and impulsions which had disguised
themselves as original movements of his own mind and against which he had to
battle. He can realize that he is not a conscious creature inexplicably
produced in an unconscious world out of a seed of inconscient Matter and moving
about in an obscure self-ignorance, but an embodied soul through whose active
cosmic Nature is seeking to fulfill itself, the living ground of a vast debate
between a darkness of Ignorance out of which it emerges here and a light of
Knowledge which is growing upwards towards an unforeseen termination.”
“The Forces which seek
to move him, and among them the Forces of good and evil, present themselves as
powers of universal Nature; but they seem to belong not only to the physical
universe, but to planes of Life and Mind beyond it. The first thing that we
have to note of importance to the problem preoccupying us is, that these Forces
in their action seem often to surpass the measures of human relativity; they
are in their larger action superhuman, divine, titanic or demoniac, but they
may create their formations in him in large or in little, in his greatness or
his smallness, they may seize and drive him at moments or for periods, they may
influence his impulses or his acts or possess his whole nature. If that
possession happens, he may himself be pushed to an excess of the normal
humanity of good or evil; especially the evil takes forms which shock the sense
of human measure, exceed the bounds of human personality, approach the gigantic,
the inordinate, the immeasurable."
It is suggested this be read three times, slowly, and then
the reader spend a few minutes in contemplating the words and then meditation.
