I think that though the descent has to a large extent to do with the progress of the Ashram, yet mostly it deals with the physical consciousness in general.Īnd therefore I feel that when it has come down once every sadhak’s physical will not be automatically supramentalised. No, except that they can act as obstacles. What I said was that the mind and vital could not be supramentalised so long as the physical was left as it was, untouched by the supramental descent.ĭoes your bringing down the Supermind into the physical depend upon the sadhaks here? To suppose that the physical can be supramentalised before the mental and vital is an absolute absurdity. If it does not stand in the physical, it cannot stand in the mind and vital also it will be something else, not the supramental.Ī touch or influence of the supramental is not the same thing as the supramentalisation. If the supramental can stand in the mind and vital, then it must stand in the physical also. All that can manifest in the mind separately is a partly supramentalised Overmind. If the physical mind is not supramentalised, then there will be in mind a mixture of ignorance, but then it will not be Supermind there, but something else, - so also with the vital. The Supermind is a luminous whole - it is not a mixture of light and ignorance. It cannot be brought down to the mind and vital without being brought down into the physical, - also one can feel its influence or get something of it but bringing down means much more than that. Why cannot the Supramental be brought down stage by stage - that is, first into the mind and the vital till the physical is ready? Unless the mind and the vital are perfectly prepared how is it possible to bring the Supermind down into the physical or Matter?Īnd how is it possible to perfect the mind and vital unless the physical is prepared, - for there is such a thing as the mental and vital physical and mind and vital cannot be said to be perfectly prepared until these are ready. Besides the Supermind did not attempt, - it is we who are attempting.
There can be no conquest of the other planes by the Supermind but only an influence, so long as the physical is not ready. In that case, has the Supermind already conquered the mental plane, the vital plane and the physical now that it is attempting to conquer Matter? You said that “the Supermind descent into Matter is what is being attempted”. The forces above the human mind, especially Overmind, Intuition, Illumined Mind can be very intense and fiery. When I wrote to you about a direct supramental action I took help from your own statement for when I had previously asked you, “Is it not true that at present a direct Supermind Force is acting in the Ashram?” you had replied, as far as I remember, “I suppose so, but it should not be an excuse for a passive acquiescence (inertia etc.).” Another reason for my thinking that it might be the direct Supermind Force was that the force felt after the Pranam was overwhelmingly powerful and fiery-keen.Īcting in the Ashram means only acting in the earth-consciousness to prepare its own possibility. What must first be done is the fullness of the higher consciousness between human mind and Supermind. Am I right?Ĭomplete perfection is another matter. I understand that the transformation of the lower nature is not possible without the Supramental Force coming down and preparing the vessel for the complete perfection. It is only when the whole being down to the physical has accepted and assimilated the higher consciousness that it can come. Does this mean that a direct Supramental Force has started working and that our nature is now trying to accommodate itself to that action?ĭirect Supermind Force is not possible at this stage. If it comes down into our physical it would mean that it has come down into Matter and so there is no reason why it should not manifest in the sadhaks.Īt ‘pranam’ time, after returning from the Mother, K felt an immense pressure on the head.
We know the Supermind is to be brought down into the physical at least most of us do, but what Naik means is that the preparation is going on for bringing down the Supermind not into our physical but into yours and the Mother’s. What is being done is meant to prepare the manifestation of the Supermind in the earth-consciousness down to Matter itself, so it can’t be for the physical of myself and the Mother alone.
īut have you not noticed that you have cut off the last much-emphasised part of Naik’s statement? Of course Naik’s statement is altogether true only as far as the bracket goes. The things to be brought were in us no doubt but not all outwardly manifested from the beginning. Naik has made the following remark: “The present preparation is going on to bring down the Supermind into the physical of the Mother and Sri Aurobindo.” Is it true?
