We\r\nare apt to seize ex­clusively the last term of the great Name and ignore the\r\nother term which is equally important. We demand from her the same reactions of\r\nmotherly love as we expect from a human mother.

A human way\r\nties us down to the littlenesses and smallnesses of the human feeling. The\r\nhuman approach is more often than not that of a spoilt child. If there is one\r\ndrop of true love at the bottom of the heart, the amount of ignorance and\r\nturbidity in which that is sunk is colossal. The dirt smears us and is cast\r\nupon the object of our love too.</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=MsoNormal style=\'text-align:justify;text-indent:11.25pt;line-height:\r\n150%;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0\'>And\r\nyet she is the mother in being the Divine. She is divine not in the sense that\r\nshe is afar and aloof, cold and indifferent like the transcendent Brahman.\r\nIndeed, the Divine Mother is more motherly than the human mother can be.

But that was about the later Yajnavalkya\r\nwhen he had become a full-fledged rishi, a guru with an Ashram and disciples. Today\r\nI will tell you something of the earlier Yajnavalkya, the beginning of his rishihood, the start of his spiritual life. You know the structure of the old\r\nIndian society, it consisted of four castes, varnas, and four stages, ÄÅ›ramas.\r\nI shall speak of the ÄÅ›ramas now. Each individual person\r\nhad to follow a definite course of life through developing stages. First of\r\nall, naturally, when you are a baby, in your early childhood, you belong to the\r\nfamily and remain with your parents. As soon as you grow up and the time for\r\nyour education arrives, you are initiated into a stage called brahmacarya; you\r\nmay generally call it as the stage of self-discipline, you go to a guru and\r\npursue your studies through a disciplined life, something like the life of the\r\nchildren who are here like you. In those days a student\'s life did not mean\r\nmerely studies, that is to say, reading and writing, book knowledge, but as\r\nhere a very active life. The physical education in the old time ÄÅ›ramas\r\nin certain ways was even more complete than what is given here, for it\r\nincluded the art of warfare also, combatives like serious archery and many\r\nother items of physical training. When you have terminated this discipline or brahmacarya,\r\nwhen you have become an accomplished young man you are allowed to return\r\nto the world, and take to the worldly life, enrich yourself with all\r\nexperiences of that life, that is to say, you marry and become a family man. It\r\nis the second stage called gÄrhashtya. Next when you have fully\r\nenjoyed or fulfilled the duty of the worldly life, you pass on to the next\r\nstage that is called the vÄnaprastha . That is the hermit life, the\r\nbeginning of the true spiritual life.

He had married and had two wives. So one day he called\r\nthe first wife, Katyayani, and said to her: &quot;Katyayani, I am now leaving\r\nthis life and entering the spiritual life. You have given me comfort and\r\nhappiness. I am thankful to you for that. Whatever I have, my possessions,\r\nmovable and immovable, I have divided into two. This is your portion.&quot;\r\nKatyayani accepted the decision without a murmur. She answered: &quot;Since you\r\nare my lord and husband, as you ask me so I shall do.&quot; Then Yajnavalkya\r\nwent to his second wife, Maitreyee; to Maitreyee too he said the same thing as\r\nhe had said to Katyayani: &quot;Maitreyee, I am leaving this life, I am taking\r\nto the spiritual life. I have given to Katyayani her share of my possessions.\r\nThis is your share.&quot; But Maitreyee answered: &quot;Wherever you go, I will\r\nfollow you, I will also give up the world and its life.&quot; Yajnavalkya said:\r\n&quot;No Maitreyee, it is a very hard, very difficult life, particularly for a\r\nwoman. Follow the life to which you have been accustomed. Enjoy freely the\r\npossessions I leave you.&quot; Then Maitreyee uttered those famous words which\r\nyou must have heard and which have been ringing through the centuries down to\r\nus also, even today: &quot;All these possessions, will they give me\r\nimmortality?&quot; Yajnavalkya answered: &quot;No, Maitreyee, that they will\r\nnot give you, it is quite another matter.&quot; Maitreyee answered <span\r\nstyle=\'font-family:\"Book Antiqua\"\'>â€•</span> uttering a mantra as\r\nit were <span style=\'font-family:\"Book Antiqua\"\'>â€•</span> &quot;What am I\r\nto do with that which does not give me immortality?&quot; So Yajnavalkya had to\r\naccept her and allow her to accompany him. Now Yajnavalkya gives his first\r\nlesson of spiritual life to Maitreyee: &quot;Maitreyee, you love me, so you are\r\ncoming with me. But do you know the real truth of the matter?

That was\r\nbecause, as you know, man started his earthly life at a certain stage of\r\ncreation; before that stage there was no man, there were only animals. The\r\nearth was filled with animals, only animals, wild animals, ferocious animals,\r\ninsects, worms, all kinds of ugly and dangerous creatures. Man came long, long\r\nafter; he is almost a recent appearance. It was a mysterious, indeed a\r\nmiraculous happening, how all of a sudden, out of or in the midst of animals\r\nthere appeared a new creature, quite a different type of animal. Still in whatever\r\nway it happened, they were not many in number.

So for self-preservation and survival\r\nthey needed to be numerous, to increase in number as much as possible. It is\r\nexactly what is needed in war; the larger the number of troops, the greater the\r\nchance of winning the war. So the impulse in man, in the social aggregate was\r\nto have more men, increase the number, to strengthen the extent and volume of\r\nthe force to be able to fight successfully against the enemy. So a necessity\r\nbecame a religious duty to multiply, to procreate and redouble the race. In\r\nlater days, even when the necessity was not so imperative, even then the habit\r\nand custom continued. To beget children was a praiseworthy thing, the more the\r\nnumber the greater the merit. Women who had numerous children were considered favourities of the gods. King Dasharatha had, it appears, a thousand wives,\r\nKing Dhritarashtra had more than a hundred, Vashishtha had a hundred sons and\r\nKing Sagar a thousand.

You know\r\nit is his centenary, that is to say, this August<span style=\'font-family:Tahoma\'>¹</span>\r\nhe completes a hundred years of earthly existence: I say earthly advisedly\r\nbecause although he has left his body he has not left earth\'s atmosphere. The\r\nMother assures us he will be there to see the work begun <span class=GramE>be</span>\r\ncompleted. I will speak on a very peculiar aspect of Sri Aurobindo\'s life. Many\r\nmust have noticed it but I wish to draw your particular attention to it. Sri\r\nAurobindo\'s life is an extraordinary phenomenon. It is not that of an ordinary\r\nhuman being. The life of an ordinary man follows a well-marked line of\r\ndevelopment, almost a routine good for everybody. The pattern is <span\r\nclass=GramE>familiar,</span> you can even foresee and foretell the future – and\r\nthe destiny of a person. You start as a student, join a school, go up to the\r\ncollege, after passing out you choose a profession, become an engineer or\r\ndoctor or businessman or something well-recognised like that, then you continue\r\nto stick to the job you have chosen: you become a rich man or if you are\r\nunfortunate a poor man, anyhow go through the experiences of the life allotted\r\nto you, you become old, have children, grandchildren and then pass away; that\r\nis the ordinary course of life. In Sri Aurobindo life has a different line,\r\nmovement and procedure. Strangely it consists of breaks, sudden unforeseen\r\nturns almost cutting away the past altogether. And then what is to be noted is\r\nthat these breaks or turns are not imposed upon him but they are normally his\r\nown conscious decisions out of his own deliberate will, except one or two, I\r\nshall point out as I go on. <span class=GramE>These turns.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=MsoNormal style=\'text-align:justify;mso-line-height-alt:11.75pt;\r\nmso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none; line-height:150%; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0\'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=MsoNormal style=\'text-align:justify;mso-line-height-alt:11.75pt;\r\nmso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none; line-height:150%; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0\'><span\r\nstyle=\'mso-spacerun:yes\'>&nbsp;</span><span style=\'font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:\r\n12.0pt;font-family:Tahoma\'>¹</span><span style=\'font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:\r\n12.0pt\'>15 <i>August </i>1972</span><span style=\'font-size:\r\n10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt\'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=MsoNormal align=center style=\'text-align:center;line-height:150%;\r\nmso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0\'>\r\n<span\r\nstyle=\'font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;\'>Page – 9<o:p></o:p></span></p>\r\n\r\n<div class=MsoNormal align=center style=\'text-align:center;mso-line-height-alt:\r\n11.75pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none\'>\r\n\r\n<hr size=2 width=\"100%\" align=center>\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<p class=MsoBodyText style=\'margin-top:0; line-height:150%; margin-bottom:0\'><span class=GramE>however</span>\r\nmay not be always a right-about-turn but anyhow, I may say, a right turn, a\r\nturn to the right, always to the right – until the final ultimate Right is\r\nreached.</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=MsoNormal style=\'text-align:justify;text-indent:11.0pt;line-height:\r\n150%;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0\'>First\r\nof all – let us begin from the very beginning. The very first step or turn he\r\ntook in his early childhood was in fact a complete about turn – the antipodes\r\nof what he was and where he was. For, he was almost uprooted from his normal\r\nsurroundings and removed across far seas to a distant land. From out of an\r\nIndian Bengali family he was thrown into the midst of a British Christian\r\nfamily. He was made to forget his native language, his country\'s traditions,\r\nhis people\'s customs and <span class=GramE>manners,</span> he had to adopt an\r\naltogether different mode of life and thinking, a thoroughly <span lang=EN-GB\r\nstyle=\'mso-ansi-language:EN-GB\'>Europeanised</span> style and manner. Naturally\r\nbeing a baby this was an occasion, the earliest when he had not his choice, his\r\nown deliberate decision but had to follow the choice of his father – the choice\r\nperhaps of his secret soul and destiny. His father meant well, for he wanted\r\nhis children to be not only good but great according to his conception of\r\ngoodness and greatness. Now, in that epoch when the British were the masters of\r\nIndia and we their slaves, in those days the ideal for a person of intelligence\r\nand promise, the ideal of success was to become a high government official, a\r\ndistrict magistrate or a district judge; that was the highest ambition of an\r\nIndian of that time and naturally Sri Aurobindo\'s parents and well-wishers\r\nthought of Sri Aurobindo in that line, he would become a very famous district\r\nmagistrate or a Commissioner even, the highest position that an Indian could\r\nachieve. So he had to appear at an examination for that purpose, it was called\r\n– those glittering letters to Indian eyes: I.C.S. (Indian Civil Service). Now\r\nhere was the very first deliberate choice of his own, the first radical turn he\r\ntook – to cut himself away from the normally developing past. He turned away\r\nfrom that line of growth and his life moved on to a different scale.

Still he continued in that obscure\r\nposition that was practically what we call the life of a clerk. He continued it\r\nfor sometime, although sometime meant twelve years, the same length as his\r\nprevious stage. Then a moment came when he changed all that. Another\r\nvolte-face. If he continued he might have advanced, progressed in his career,\r\nthat is to say, become Principal of the College, even the <span class=SpellE>Dewan</span>\r\nof Baroda, a very lofty position, a very lofty position indeed for an Indian,\r\nbecome another R. C. Dutt. But he threw all that overboard, wiped off the\r\ntwelve years of his youthful life and came to <st1:place>Bengal</st1:place> as\r\na national leader, a leader of the new movement that wanted freedom for <st1:country-region><st1:place>India</st1:place></st1:country-region>,\r\nfreedom from the domination of <st1:country-region><st1:place>Britain</st1:place></st1:country-region>.\r\nHe jumped into this dangerous life – the uncertain life of a servant of the\r\ncountry, practically without a home, without resources of his own. He ran the\r\nrisk of being caught by the British, put into prison or shot or hanged even but\r\nhe chose that life. That was a great decision he took, a turn about entirely\r\nchanging the whole mode of his life. Eventually as a natural and inevitable\r\nresult of his political .activities he was arrested by the British and put into\r\nprison. He had to pass a whole year in the prison. And this led to another\r\nbreak from the past, ushering in quite another way of life. The course of his\r\nlife turned inward and moved from depth to depth.</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=MsoNormal style=\'text-align:justify;text-indent:11.0pt;line-height:\r\n150%;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0\'>In\r\nthe prison one incident happened which is not known to many but extremely\r\nimportant and of great consequence.

There were <span class=SpellE>plannings</span>\r\nwith outside helpers. When the plan was a little matured, our elders thought of\r\nconsulting Sri Aurobindo.

So when\r\nSri Aurobindo was informed of the plan he said bluntly: I am not going to do\r\nanything of the kind. I stand the trial. As a natural consequence the project\r\nfell through and very fortunately for us. It is true he already knew the result\r\nof the case, that is that he would be freed and nothing would happen to him.\r\nStill at that time there was a suspense and we all were in doubt. This decision\r\nof Sri Aurobindo was another, I may say, great turn of his life. If he had\r\naccepted the prospect his life and destiny would have been different, we all\r\nwould have been massacred. In other words he saved his life for his spiritual\r\nwork.</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=MsoNormal style=\'text-align:justify;text-indent:12.7pt;line-height:\r\n150%;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0\'>On\r\ncoming out he engaged himself again in the national work, the British were\r\ntruly perturbed and worried because they knew here was <i>the </i>man, the\r\nsource of all mischief. They did not know how to control and get at him. So\r\nthey thought of arresting him again and deport him, send him out of bounds –\r\noutside India, to Burma or some such far off place. In the meanwhile he\r\ncontinued to do his work as usual, editing two papers, seeing and advising\r\npeople, going out on lecturing tours etc. But it was time for the next break or\r\nturn. One day-one night, that is to say – all of a sudden he said, he would go\r\nto an unknown destination and literally he did so, dropped and left things as\r\nthey were and disappeared. People knew later on that he had gone to <st1:City><st1:place>Pondicherry</st1:place></st1:City>.\r\nThis time it was almost literally wiping out the past. He started an altogether\r\nnew life, inner and outer. Here started directly his climb to the Supramental.\r\nHere too after a few years came an occasion when he had to take another radical\r\ndecision. One more turn to the right – to the more, yet more right.</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=MsoNormal style=\'text-align:justify;text-indent:12.0pt;line-height:\r\n150%;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0\'>The\r\nBritish could not tolerate his existence, his safe existence in India, even\r\nthough in (the then) French India. They felt themselves unsafe, for they felt\r\nthis man could do anything. As France was an ally to the British, there was an <i>entente\r\ncordiale, </i>so they both came to an understanding and made a proposal to Sri\r\nAurobindo: France would gladly receive Sri Aurobindo in their midst, give him\r\nsafe shelter and quiet circumstances to pursue his spiritual life. France was\r\nready to offer Sri Aurobindo a house, a home in Algeria. Here too Sri Aurobindo\r\nanswered with a clear and definite No. He said he would stick to the place he\r\nhad chosen.

They\r\nwould have liked to accept the proposal to escape from the constant British\r\npersecution. But Sri Aurobindo\'s decision came as a disappointment to them, but\r\nthey had to acquiesce.

The world was nearing the\r\nworld-shaking war – the Second World War. It was the invasion of the asuric\r\nforces upon earth to destroy humanity and human civilisation and prevent the\r\nadvent of that truth which Sri Aurobindo was preparing to bring down. Sri\r\nAurobindo opposed that mighty onrush with his will and divine strength. He\r\nbroke the hostile downward-speeding force by taking it into himself, even like\r\ngod Shiva who swallowed poison and <span class=SpellE>harboured</span> it in\r\nhis throat to release immortality for the Gods. The subtle attack left in him a\r\nbruised body and to man a saved world.

The king from time to time used to call such assemblies for\r\nspiritual discussion and interchange of experiences. This time he summoned the\r\nassembly for a special reason. He had collected a herd of one thousand cows and\r\nnuggets of gold were tied to the horns of each. When all had gathered and taken\r\ntheir places he announced that whoever considered himself the best knower of\r\nBrahman (Brahmishtha) might come forward and take away the cows. None stirred.\r\nNo one had the temerity to declare that he was the best <i>knower </i>and the\r\nmost eligible for the prize. The king repeated his announcement. Then all of a\r\nsudden people saw Yajnavalkya advancing and telling his disciples to take hold\r\nof the herd and drive it home. A hue and cry arose: How is it? How dare he? One\r\ncame forward and asked Yajnavalkya: How is it, Yajnavalkya? Do you consider\r\nyourself the most wise in the matter of Brahman? First prove your claim and\r\nthen touch the cows. Yajnavalkya in great humility bowed down and said to the\r\nasembly: I bow down to the great sages. I have come here solely with the\r\nintention of getting the cows. As for the knowledge of Brahman, I leave it to\r\nthe knowers of Brahman. All the others in one voice said: That will not do,</p>\r\n<div style=\'border:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;mso-border-bottom-alt:\r\nsolid windowtext .75pt;padding:0in 0in 1.0pt 0in\'>\r\n\r\n<p class=MsoNormal align=center style=\'text-align:center;text-indent:12.45pt;\r\nline-height:150%;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:\r\nnone;border:medium none;mso-border-bottom-alt:solid windowtext .75pt;padding:0in;\r\nmso-padding-alt:0in 0in 1.0pt 0in; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0\'>\r\n<span style=\'font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:\r\n12.0pt;\'>Page â€“ 49<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<p class=MsoNormal style=\'text-align:justify;mso-line-height-alt:11.75pt;\r\nmso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none; line-height:150%; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0\'>Yajnavalkya.\r\nYou cannot get away so easily.

All he answered quietly and perfectly to their full\r\nsatisfaction. Towards the end a woman stood up, Gargi, a fair and famous name\r\ntoo.

The Great Revolution declared: the <i>Republic âˆ’ ResPublica â€“\r\nhas </i>no need of God.

So a new religion is proposed, a\r\nGodless religion, a Natural Religion and it came to be called the Religion of\r\nHumanity. God was replaced by Humanity. Humanity is a collective reality: to\r\nserve it became the ideal, the <i>summum bonum. </i>And to serve is to worship\r\nand adore. Thus a new deity was installed. To give yourself wholly, to work for\r\nthe welfare of humanity, body and mind, to love one and all human beings,\r\nparticularly those who deserve love and care â€“ the poor, the needy, the lowly â€“\r\nto work so that they may be comforted, is to bring comfort to yourself, to your\r\nown soul.

In his attempt at\r\navoiding this power of illusion, the votary of <i>Vedanta </i>has avoided the\r\nPrimal Power too, and has resorted to <i>Siva </i>for rescue.

There is no need to search for it separately and\r\nexclusively. Leaving aside all other standards of action and principles of\r\nlife, they make themselves instruments of the Consciousness-Force of <i>Siva. </i>And\r\nthe more one\'s offering and surrender are complete, the more the power of\r\nignorance diminishes, and the more a discipline, a rhythm of Knowledge-power of\r\nthe Mother, who is but Consciousness, starts blossoming in the person <i>(adhara).\r\n</i>This <i>adhara, </i>itself having been transformed, manifests\r\nitself in a divine frame and a divine fulfilment.<o:p></o:p></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=MsoNormal style=\'text-align:justify;text-indent:12.0pt;line-height:\r\n150%;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0\'><st1:place>Bengal</st1:place>\r\nhas realised this doctrine of Shakti-worship.
