<p class="paracenter">THE SUPRAMENTAL MANIFESTATION AND 
WORLD-CHANGE
</p>
<p class="paracenter"></p>
<p class="para"> I have been asked what difference 
the presence of the Supermind will make, in what way it will change the trend of 
events and how, since the Supramental manifestation, life has to be reviewed. I 
am asked to give practical examples. I do not know what this means, but here is 
what I have seen in a somewhat mathematical mood. Although the mathematical 
language is quite foreign to me, still I may call it a mathematical mood, that 
is to say, a mathematical way of looking at the problem.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> I believe you have done 
sufficient mathematics to know the complexity of combinations that arises when 
you take as your basis some elements out of a sum-total. To make it clearer I 
shall give you an example—but without using the terms you have been taught at 
school—from the letters of the alphabet. There are a certain number of letters. 
Now, if you want to calculate or know the number of combinations possible with 
these letters, taking all the letters together and organi-
</p>
<br><p class="pageno">Page-73</p>
<hr>
<p class="para">sing them in as many ways as you can, you find, as you have been 
taught, that it runs into a fantastic figure.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> Similarly, take the material 
world and come down to the most minute particle—you know scientists have arrived 
at things that are absolutely invisible and incalculable—and take this particle 
as your basis and the material world as the total and, further, imagine a 
Consciousness or a Will playing with these particles, making all sorts of 
possible combinations, never repeating the same combination. Of course, 
mathematically they say that the number of particles is finite and therefore the 
number of combinations also is finite, but this is purely theoretical, and 
theory does not interest us. Coming to the practical, even if you suppose that 
these combinations follow each other in such a manner and at such a speed that 
the change from one to another is hardly perceptible, it is clear that the time 
needed for the working out of all these combinations would be, apparently, 
infinite. That is to say, the number of combinations would be so immense that 
practically no end could be assigned to it.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> Now imagine, as I have just asked 
you to do, that really there exists a Consciousness, a Will manifesting these 
combinations successively and
</p>
<br><p class="pageno">Page-74</p>
<hr>
<p class="para">indefinitely, never repeating twice the same; then we must come 
to the conclusion that the universe is new at each moment of eternity, and if 
the universe is new at each moment of eternity we are forced to admit there is 
nothing absolutely impossible; even further, what we call logical is not 
necessarily the true, and the logic or what might almost be called the fancy of 
the Creator has no limit to it.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> Therefore, if for some reason 
(which it is difficult to express) a combination is not followed up by that 
which is nearest to it, but another one freely chosen by the Supreme Freedom, 
all our external certainties and all our surface logic would fall to the ground.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> For, the problem is much more 
complicated than you imagine. It is not merely on one plane, in one domain, that 
is to say, what may be called the surface of things, that there is this almost 
infinite quantity of elements allowing combinations eternally new. There is more 
than that, there is what may be termed depth, that is to say. other dimensions.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> Creation is the result not only 
of combinations on the surface but also of combinations in the depths of this 
surface : in other words, there are psychological factors. But I am looking from
</p>
<br><p class="pageno">Page-75</p>
<hr>
<p class="para">the purely mathematical standpoint; although I do not speak the 
mathematical language, it is still a mathematical conception. Here is then the 
problem.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> Each time a new element is 
introduced into the sum-total of possible combinations, it is as it were a 
tearing of its limits; the introduction of something that effaces the past 
limits, brings in new possibilities into play, multiplies indefinitely the old 
possibilities. You had, for example, a world, as the ancient knowledge found it, 
with twelve layers of depth or successive dimensions. Now suppose in this world 
of twelve dimensions suddenly other dimensions were precipitated; all the old 
formulas would be changed immediately and the whole possibility according to the 
old unfolding would be, one cannot say increased, but supplemented by an almost 
infinite number of new possibilities, and that in such a manner that all the old 
logic would become illogical in the presence of the new logic.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> I do not speak at all of what the 
human mind has built up with the universe, because that is a reduction to its 
own dimension. I speak of the fact as it is, of the sum-total of combinations 
that realise themselves successively according to an order and a choice which 
evidently escape wholly
</p>
<br><p class="pageno">Page-76</p>
<hr>
<p class="para">the human consciousness, a sum-total to which man has somewhat 
adapted himself and has at last succeeded in giving an expression that links 
itself to something tangible, after a great effort of study made through the 
centuries.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> It is evident that the modern 
scientific perception is much nearer to something that corresponds to the 
universal Reality than the perceptions, say, of the Stone Age; there is no 
shadow of a doubt about that. But even this will be completely transcended, 
surpassed and probably upset by the intrusion of something which was not in the 
universe and has not been studied so far.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> This change, this sudden mutation 
in the universal elements will very certainly bring a kind of chaos in our 
perceptions, but out of it a new knowledge will arise. That, in a most general 
way, will be the result of the New Manifestation.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> From a more restricted, external 
and limited point of view I shall speak now of things which are not within my 
own experience, but which I have heard being spoken about. It is said, for 
example, that one finds now a larger number of what they call child prodigies. 
Personally I have met none, so I cannot say what exactly is &quot;prodigious&quot; in 
these children. However, as the stories go, there is a new type or types of con-
</p>
<br><p class="pageno">Page-77</p>
<hr>
<p class="para">sciousness which appear surprising to the ordinary human 
consciousness. It is such examples, I suppose, that you would like to have in 
order to understand what is happening.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> Indeed it is quite possible that 
things are happening now which people are not accustomed to meet with. But that 
is a question of interpretation. The only fact I am sure of is what I have just 
told you, that the quality, the quantity and the nature of the possible 
universal combinations are about to change to such an extent that it will 
stagger all those who deal with life. Let us wait and see.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> I may add one word, a practical 
word, to what I have already said; it is an illustration of a detail, but it 
will be a kind of reply to some other questions put to me sometime ago about the 
so-called laws of Nature, causes and effects, inevitable consequences in the 
material world, more particularly from the point of view of health : we are told 
that if some precautions are not taken, if we do not eat as we should, if we do 
not follow certain rules, necessarily there will be consequences.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> True. But if you look at the 
thing in the light of what I have told you—that there are no two universal 
combinations that are alike—then how can you establish laws and what is the 
absolute truth of such laws?
</p>
<br><p class="pageno">Page-78</p>
<hr>
<p class="para"> There is no such truth. For, if 
you are logical, that is to say, with a little higher logic, how can you say 
that a thing repeats itself, since there are no two things, no two combinations, 
no two universal manifestations that are the same? The &quot;sameness&quot; could be only 
an appearance, not a fact. The mind sets up rigid laws, and when it does that, 
you do not cut yourself off from the apparent surface existence, for the 
surface, in a very obliging manner, seems to satisfy these laws. But that is an 
appearance, and it does cut you off from the creative Power of the Spirit, cut 
you off from the true Power of Grace. You can understand that if, by your 
aspiration and your attitude, you bring down a higher element, a new element 
—which now we may call the Supramental—into the existing combinations, you can 
all on a sudden change their nature and then all these so-called necessary and 
inexorable laws become absurdities. It is you, with your conception, your 
attitude, your acceptance of certain so-called principles, it is yourself who 
shut the door against the possibility of what you call miracles. They are not 
miracles, if you know how they come about, but evidently for your consciousness 
they have the look of the miraculous.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> It is you who say with a logic 
that appears quite
</p>
<br><p class="pageno">Page-79</p>
<hr>
<p class="para">reasonable : &quot;If I do this, necessarily this will happen&quot;, or 
&quot;If I do not do this, this other thing will surely come about&quot;, and that is how 
you put, as it were, an iron curtain between yourself and the free action of the 
Grace.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> How good would it be to imagine 
that the Supreme Consciousness, essentially free, that presides over the 
universal manifestation, is fanciful in its choice and that it makes things 
succeed each other, not according to a logic that is accessible to the human 
thought, but according to another kind of logic, the logic of the unforeseen !
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> Then there would be no limit to 
the possibilities, the unexpected and the wonderful. And one could hope for the 
most splendid, the most delightful things from this Will, sovereignly free, 
playing eternally with the elements, ceaselessly bringing forth a new world that 
would have logically nothing to do with the world that went before. Don't you 
think it would be the happiest of things? We have had enough of the world as it 
is.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> All this I am telling you so that 
each one of you may put as few barriers as possible against future 
possibilities. And that is my conclusion.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> I do not know if I have made 
myself understood or not, but I suppose a day will come when you will know what 
I have wanted to say.
