Is it always Truth that wins? At least this is what we would naturally and rightfully expect in a world governed by the Divine. But in outer life at least we do not see it happen always or even most of the time. Perhaps our seeing is faulty, perhaps we have missed something. Or perhaps the Divine Vision of Truth and is way of working are other than what we understand by the term. Most of all perhaps this world we inhabit is not the perfect expression of Truth. It is an evolving world and therefore Truth itself wears an evolutionary aspect and its emergence appears a struggle of conflicting forces. These are some of the issues being discussed in this talk.
Words of the Mother
Q) “Sweet Mother, it is said that always the good and the true triumph, but we see that often in life it is otherwise. The wicked win, seem somehow to be protected from suffering.”
(Integral Spirituality and including the outer being)
A misconception exists on the role of prayers, worship and certain forms of external expressions usually associated with the ritualistic aspects of religion. From a spiritual point of view the attitude is more important than the external action. At the same time there is also a need for the outer and external being to participate in the movement of Yoga. This need arises not only a symbol but even more so for the completeness of our total self-giving to the Divine. The following talk deals with this issue.
Sri Aurobindo’s Yoga is a complex and many-sided movement thereby often making it difficult to comprehend. Of course as in all yogas, here too, the true nature of the Yoga is revealed by practice and not by reading books alone. We look for some simple easy-to-do technique, one single book or method that can help us through the difficult journey of yoga. In this talk we discuss some of these issues and method of practice of Sri Aurobindo’s Yoga, especially the help of Japa and Mantra.
