The article is an exploration, recounting the story of Creation narrated by the Mother as its base. It looks at the dark forces, the Asuras that manifested as a result of the conversion of the four Powers manifested by the Divine Mother, Aditi in the process of the creation of the Universe. The Asuras are present within us, and it is the yoga that each one of us must attempt if ready, to show all these four powers their true light, their true Origin and their true face so that the seeming dualities merge in their supernal essence.

Some of us may be aware of the wave-particle duality through quantum physics. A sub-atomic particle’s behaviour is rather unpredictable. It can at times behave like a wave, less solid, while at times it can behave like a particle, hence a bit more solid. How it will behave, one cannot predict. Researchers have so far studied that whether it will behave like a particle or wave is influenced very much by who’s looking at them, who’s observing. The same appears quite true at the level of our thoughts, feelings, emotions, sense-perceptions. Whether they appear heavy, sole reality, or solid, depends on who’s looking? If the egoistic sense of self, the separate self is looking, it looks at them as – my life, my respect, my story, my roles. If we take a stance knowingly at a deeper level of consciousness, knowing ourselves as consciousness and looking at these surface movements, they appear more surreal, like a dream, fleeting, ever transient, and more like a wave passing by. The article explores implications of this fact for our human journey.

Any attempt to move towards human well-being will be grossly inadequate if we do not address the issue of negative emotions. Yogic science describes six such emotions as the principal enemies and they are known as the Ariṣaḍvargas. One can ask, if they are so detrimental, why should Nature create them and preserve them? There was an evolutionary necessity. They provided a help for survival, but are an obstacle to the growth into the higher consciousness. This article vividly describes the hidden role of these negative emotions from an evolutionary perspective. Ariṣaḍvargas

Sweet Mother, here Sri Aurobindo speaks of “the higher perfection” and “the lower perfection”...
