The law of change — II
By Alok Pandey - Jul 15, 2013
This article deals with the individual’s role in our present times of great upheaval associated with the pressure for a collective change. It discusses the purpose of this change and the need to trust the future in the light of Sri Aurobindo. According to the author, the way lies neither in blind conservatism nor in fashionable modernity. We need to look beyond both and trust the Time-Spirit and act with a wide and plastic consciousness that looks at events and people and circumstances in their totality.
Suffering — the postman
By Monica Gulati - Jul 15, 2021
The Creator shines through each aspect of his creation. As this is the case, then each and every darkness and challenge must hide a divine Truth within. Let us explore the darkness of suffering and see what the hidden message is, veiled behind the dark and unpleasant façade. Can we allow, in faith, to go intimately close to suffering and see its roots, origins, its reason for manifestation, for being there? Let us engage in each experience of life as an exploration, to dig deeper, further, on and on. For only this progression, this adventure, this exploration is a never- ending joy.
Self-forgetfulness and its beauty
By Monica Gulati - Oct 15, 2023
What bothers virtually every one of us is self-obsession. That too, an obsession about a separate self, that is me, myself, limited in this frame of body, mind and life. And believing that limitedness and sense of separateness to be true, one finds oneself always incomplete, lacking, not enough, and which takes us on a perpetual journey in a want to be more, more, always more; and which ultimately can only be fulfilled in the Divine. And isn’t it a paradox, that the more I live a life of self-forgetfulness, not making the little ‘me’ the centre of my world, the more life takes a deeper, truer meaning? In self-forgetfulness, I find true contentment. This article explores self-forgetfulness advancing towards self-giving, in the light of the words of the Mother and Sri Aurobindo.
