<p class="para"> Is it said that when the 
supramental descends, it will come with such an overwhelming and irresistible 
force that all humanity will be changed forthwith, that is to say, all men 
whether they wanted it or not, sought for it or not, would be automatically 
transformed? It cannot be so: it is a comfortable doctrine putting a premium on 
laziness and inertia.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> There is no necessity of all men 
turning supermen, the normal human race disappearing altogether. Mankind need 
not become extinct like the ancient Mammoth and Mastodon in order to give place 
to Superman. Both the races can dwell together; earth is wide enough. Man has 
appeared; for that reason the ape has not disappeared, although it is said man 
came out of the ape genus. The superman will come and live with his new law of 
life; man too will continue with his human dharma. Not only so, they need not be 
separated into water-tight compartments, there may be interaction or interchange 
between the two. With the coming of Superman there will naturally be a descent 
of harmony and peace and happiness and good will into the earth's atmosphere and 
mankind is

<p class="para">likely to be benefited by it. The conditions of life will be 
changed and will affect man's life too. An element of light and joy and 
tranquillity will enter into humanity's normal dealings. And man, on his side, 
may offer his services as the recruiting ground of the super-race. Furthermore, 
the whole of Nature being a unified movement, no level of creation being totally 
separate from others, the change may very well touch the animal and even the 
vegetable kingdom. The plant may put on, for example, a luminous or greener tint 
and the animal may develop a happier and livelier spring. There may be less 
scarcity, dearth, aridity, less convulsions and catastrophes on earth.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> Always, however, exceptions are 
possible. Even now, where conditions of life are happier and things are expected 
to be more smooth and harmonious, there exist people who are by nature so 
obscure, quarrelsome and turbulent that they are not touched at all and go on in 
their way finding always occasions to quarrel and fight and create trouble. They 
will be in the midst of the new humanity as Hottentots or 
Head-hunters—aborigines and savages—are today in the eye of civilised humanity.
