11.0pt'>You say it is obvious that evolution has a goal and that it cannot stop
here or now. It seems to you obvious because you have read Sri Aurobindo's
books. But if you take anybody you meet in the street and ask him <span
class=GramE>what is the purpose of the universe or of the evolution,</span> you
will see that he will answer by saying that he knows nothing about it. Even
here there are many, perhaps hundreds, if you ask them individually not to
repeat what they have read but to say what they feel and think by themselves
about the question, what is the intention behind the universal evolution or
whether there is any intention at all, they will not be able to give a better
answer. I do not think that there are many who will be able to tell you in all
sincerity, &quot;It is like this, it is like that, it is evident, etc., etc.<span
class=GramE>&quot;.</span> A good number may be able to quote passages from Sri
Aurobindo; otherwise, if you cease thinking, thinking with what you have read
or heard<span class=GramE>,</span> if you try to express your own personal
experience, would you have any certitude to declare? I do not speak of the
result of what you have learnt, what you have read or heard about, I speak of
your own personal experience, exclusively genuinely your own, something that is
evident because it is your life and realisation. Are you capable of anything of
that kind?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
