Blessed are those

CHAPTER - 5

...And with an Endless Beginnings

From a skit performed @ Bharat Nivas

Narration by Shraddhavan.

This earth is evolving from matter to plant, plant to animal, animal to man and evolution continues. The Indian Mythological concept of the ten avatars amply illustrates this aspect. The next stage is 'supermind.'

The ancient SEERS had visualized the TRUTH, the supermind, but could not proceed further.

"Hiranmayena Pathrena satyasyapihitam mukham Tatvam pushan apavrunu satyadharmaya dhristaye"

(The face of the Truth is covered with a brilliant golden lid: that do thou remove, O Fosterer, for the law of Truth, for sight.)

Sri Aurobindo and the Mother have worked for bringing down the Supermind. Though known in subtler planes, on 29^th March 1914, they met each other at Pondicherry.

On 30^th March 1914, the Mother wrote :

"...It matters little that there are thousands of beings plunged in the densest ignorance, He whom we saw yesterday is on earth; his presence is enough to prove that a day will come when darkness shall be transformed into light, and Thy reign shall be indeed established upon earth".

Again on September 25, 1914 She wrote;

"The Lord has willed and Thou dost execute:

A new Light shall break upon the earth.

A new world shall be born,

And the things that were promised shall be fulfilled"

- Prayers and Meditations.

When Sri Aurobindo sacrificed His body on 5^th December 1950, His entire YogaShakti has entered into the body of the Mother. The work continued and the First Supramental Manifestation took place on 29^th February 1956.This day hence forth was declared as THE GOLDEN DAY OR THE LORD'S DAY.

THE SUPRAMENTAL MANIFESTATION UPON EARTH

29 February 1956

(During the common meditation on Wednesday)

"This evening the Divine Presence, concrete and material, was there present amongst you. I had a form of living gold, bigger than the universe, and I was facing a huge and massive golden door which separated the world from the Divine.

As Hooked at the door, I knew and willed, in a single movement of consciousness, that "the time has come ", and lifting with both hands a mighty golden hammer I struck one blow, one single blow on the door and the door was shattered to pieces ".

Then the supramental Light and Force and Consciousness rushed down upon earth in an uninterrupted flow.
