 The Supramental Yoga

vs. Other Yogas etc.

1. I am totally dissatisfied with the present ego.  Man.
2. I welcome the Supramental Manifestation.
3. I shall work for it.
4. I recognise Sri Aurobindo and Mother as the Master or Lord of this new world and race.
5. I shall faithfully implement their battle – orders.
6. Relying on their strength I shall consciously and systematically train my body to be the vehicle of their will to express in all parts, planes of the being and body the characteristics declared as necessary for their disciples.  So far I have let my body be trained to serve the world EGO, mistakenly believing that I and body are one.  Now I know it is not so.  When I say it means ‘I’ who have agreed to be a supramental apprentice, a warrior of the race whose chief is Sri Aurobindo – Mother.

Energy Saving Mechanism

1. At each moment there is only one thing that can be done by one person.  Arguments on hypothetical bases wastes time.
2. One must know what he represents – what he can and skilfully use all opportunities and time to disseminate it.

Oh, Mother.

HATE BINDS, LOVE LIBERATES

Introduction: I have had cause to think about this particular teaching of Prof. Surya-of late and time and again.

From Sri Aurobindo’s Savitri:

Awakened to the meaning of my heart
That to feel love and oneness is to live
And this the magic of our golden change,
Is all the truth I know or seek, O sage.

One’s memory of things that hurt appears to be more sticky than the things that one enjoyed.

For thousands of persons who spend sleepless nights because of the supposed ingratitude or insult offered by someone, there maybe hardly one who keeps awake thinking of the kindness someone has shown him. This hate poisons one’s own body first of all.

Of course, one can say that love also binds- as for instance, conjugal or parental love. But if this results in mutual constriction rather than growth, then it is because the basis of such love is a contractual obligation, a love that is based on the expectation of return and the feeling of frustration or rejection that is experienced by real or threatened non-return of affection. This is not often openly acknowledged, but is concealed by demands of respectability. The intensity of this possessive love is only matched by the hate it engenders.

The love that is true compassion, a joy in a thing for its own sake is of different order, and perhaps to be met with once in a millennium, in someone like Krishna, Buddha or Christ. Krishna spoke of the binding nature of negative or demonic emotions, and the liberating nature of positive or divine emotions.

While patiently trying to train the body to express and experience the positive or the divine emotions of the liberating kind, one can assiduously avoid the pitfall of cultivating hate, not only in its crude form but also in the more subtle garbs in which it presents itself: Love of one’s country subtly hiding the hatred of others; I am a Buddhist full of love for all, only the others are ignorant sheep who have to be cudgeled or cajoled into the system; praying to Christ for the effective physical annihilation of the enemy; telling the son that you are beating him for his own good and because of your immense love for him and so on.

Hate should be discouraged in all it forms by observing that its first effect is on one’s own body. Hate can destroy or deform, never transform.

Hate should be counteracted by its antidote love.

This unconditioned compassion practiced and professed by the pacemakers, the Avatars, is difficult, but is the hallmark of the coming Man; and has nothing in common with the doctrine of love sold in the market by those who conveniently append the pacemaker’s name as a trade mark, to more faithfully serve the existing social organization, an expression of its collective ego.
