A Joyful, Grateful, Spontaneous Celebration of Sri Aurobindo

Today is no ‘special date’ associated with Sri Aurobindo…

Still, an early rising, clear and radiant sun somehow reinforces in me the sense of a found back inner clarity, concerning some of the writings of other bloggers that deal also with spirituality one way or the other, but with which I find myself sometimes unable to agree; thinking, in comparison, of Sri Aurobindo, this is what starts expressing itself from within me with much force:

Vast completeness of a limitless vision.

Detailed precision and exactitude of inner observation.

Fullness of the results one can obtain by following his advice.

What an incredibly credible (!) Way he has introduced to seeking humanity…

It is not for nothing that he and the collaborator and feminine counterpart he called ‘the Mother’ have named their Yoga the ‘Integral Yoga’:

All the parts of the being are integrated indeed in the inner processes of that Yoga of Conscious Evolution, and fulfilled in its fully transforming results.

Our entire outer nature is understood in its four main parts (Mental, Vital, Emotional and Physical), each one of them is utilized in its true role and place, and gradually develops into its true way of functioning, within and for the Whole it comes to discover. All this happens in each part thanks to an ever growing, more and more constant contact with the innermost Self – the Soul, or Psychic Being as Sri Aurobindo calls it – to the unerring guidance of which are, since 1956, added the highest and most powerful vibratory frequencies, originally coming from the plane of the Supramental Truth-Consciousness (Truth meaning the true Reality) but now activated also right here in the terrestrial atmosphere and downright physical matter.

This Supramental Consciousness-Force is absolutely necessary for our obtaining at last complete and permanent results from our efforts to change our outer nature back into its original true, divine Nature.

Particularly for the Physical part of our being, only the Supramental has the power needed to lift all the usual limitations of present Matter, and to awaken its obscure consciousness back to the divine capacities of True Matter, able again to overcome all the so-called ‘Laws’ of the Physical Plane.

As I write this, my diary on my lap, sitting outside in the morning sun, I have all of a sudden the surprise of a joyful song coming to my lips, from my whole body’s cheerful exultation, which feels as if all my cells were inwardly jumping up and down, clapping their hands in total glee…! After getting the gist of what they are singing about, with their agreement i expand the song a little, until it takes its final form as follows:

‘We used to think / That there were Laws / Up to the brink / Of Nature’s jaws / It’s not true, it’s not true, it’s not true, it’s not true!…(this chorus line, very loudly and forcefully, all the cells laughing…)

We all believed / That to be born / And to have lived / deserved just scorn / It’s not true, it’s not true, it’s not true, it’s not true!…

We thought we were / So limited/ Just like software / Soon deleted / It’s not true, it’s not true, it’s not true!…

We felt disease/ Was like a raid / Of enemies / Wanting us dead / It’s not true, it’s not true, it’s not true, it’s not true!…

We believed Death / Our worst Fiend / And a last breath / Our final end / It’s not true, it’s not true, it’s not true, it’s not true!…

In us is Life / In us is Joy / There is no strife / There is no ploy / That’s the truth, that’s the truth, that’s the truth, that’s the truth!…

Now we know / We will go on / Like a Rainbow / For ever on…/ Thank you, thank you, dear Sri Aurobindo!!!’

I laughed and cheered with them, and with them I sang in the end, ‘Thank you, thank you, dear Sri Aurobindo…’

What a glad, glad morning! It feels like a first day of a New Era, with such a glorious new understanding and spontaneous celebration in my body-cells…

There is such a relief in all of them, such a wonder and a gratitude that this is indeed the Truth! It seems that even after all those years, they had never  realized yet the full extraordinary extent of the Promise given to them too in these new times, and not just, as usual, to the three other parts, which were already known to be capable of spiritualisation. Whatever more hassles and delays still lie in their way to that endlessly blissful future, my cells don’t really care, they feel up to it all, if so wonderful will be the result.

Astonished, I experience a new strength in my body, a solid determination that has made its choice once and for all. And to my inner eye, Sri Aurobindo seems to be looking on, smiling with a peaceful, vast joy that has in it so much tenderness for all these little cells in my body and in the world…
