A visit to the Samadhi.A pulsation of the word VICTORY....VICTORY....VICTORY.

Sri Aurobindo's aphorism resounds-
"Have done with vain and pleasant imaginations, open the eyes and see what the world really is...This world was built by Death....This world was built by Cruelty.."

I don't know if the RAGE I have is right or useful or appropriate- I just know that I CANNOT exist without it.I still hope to turn it into a truer and higher vibration which is able to rise above its absolute impotency and actually change things.

We are trapped in a mad delirium called life.
An unflinching gaze at the falsehood of each passing second can make a burning hole in the futility of each passing hour.
Keep looking- Keep banging- Keep calling.
SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN.
It takes some amount to courage and endurance to look at that frightening 'this is not life' moment in the eye and
HOLD that gaze without seeking solace in some other activity which at least makes you forget the absurdity and tragedy of it all.

That moment when HORROR explodes in spurts....
( Following a visit to the Ashram and Auroville)
Appalling to see cowardice and betrayal flaunted as if a virtue.Humanity, at its highest, is more disgusting than at its lowest.
The men who I thought would bear the mantleHave made peace with the adversary-What sublime irony that the one who insists on a fightHas neither the ability nor the strength or the courage-Nothing except audacity.

The fibres of my rather mad and desperate faith is made of nothing except this certitude that YOU wanted to complete this work.Otherwise, I too could have concurred with the wise men and let matters rest there.
Agenda.

La douleur est l'essence même du mensonge.
Pain is the very essence of falsehood.

They will kill you with their goodwill.
This is an absolutely lonely fight. No one can help you- the least - your loved ones.
To belong only to You. You and You alone.
It is done.

The time has come for a clear stand.
Give me liberty or give me death- said so the heroes of the past.
Transformation or decomposition- the present motto.
Some war cries are eternal.

Human life begins at the far end of despair.
Lenin and Buddha

I understand Lenin
I understand Buddha.
And hold a smile and a tear for each of them.
-
ALL paths.....all approaches ....will ultimately meet the same ENEMY at the end. The same IMPOSSIBILITY.Nobody escapes that fatal stink of degradation.An indulgent, compassionate smile watches over all the diverse paths clamouring for futile legitimacy ....to CONQUER in the end is the only thing that matters.
And that is the victory never won as yet…..no matter which side and whatever type you are….

This gnawing feeling of betraying your destiny with each breath.
Sunday, June 20, 2021
Thinking about 17th November, 1973.Either it was a betrayal- then the only thing left is to REVERSE the defeat and struggle for victory.Or it was not- then continue to live the life we live and die the death we die.In any case, these is no longer any room for vain discussions or accusations.
Act or keep quiet.

It's not just Nirvana, horror- absolute HORROR too can be transcendental.You can 'shoot off' from below too.But emerge into what?.......

It is not by 'cultivating immunity' that this human nightmare will end.

The 'new world' that you are seeking in spiritual circusesWill someday need its warrior and heroFor when was the cruel laws of the battleEver revoked by human foolery.
Revolution is sublime..

The head of the king- was the DivineAnd so was the bloody guillotine.“For a nation to love liberty, it is sufficient that she knows it; and to be free, it is sufficient that she wills it.”

An aspiration to purify our revolt.
(Ref- This new trend of workshops on Agenda, physical transformation, healing etc)
Man wants to do the 'yoga of the cells' with his mind.
Such comedy!
An American admirer once asked Braque how he explained the fact that the public, which at first had not understood one iota of Cubism—or liked it, either—had grasped enough of it within a decade to enjoy it, and even make it popular.
He replied:
“They never comprehended. They endured. That is the history of modern art.”
And that is the history of the Mother’s Agenda!

Art- in its highest and most sublime form is a REVOLT- against being small, being petty, being ugly, being HUMAN.
Sometimes this protest almost has that familiar revolutionary power behind it- that WILL to no longer tolerate the tyranny of our human condition.

No misfortune scares me as much as losing the flame raging in my heart. That will to FIGHT.
To be worthy of Thee.

Everything in the world finds its unity in its futility. Each endeavour of men, nations, civilisations....A vast, all pervading FUTILITY.
The inescapable Fatality.

The whole world tries to dissuade yet I remain firmly with Satprem.For I am yet to see any greater display of heroism by any man.

The physical horror HUMBLES you like nothing else.
Every virtue fades away as if they never existed....
Sunday, November 7, 2021
Everything in man's history seems to me to belong to an obscure past except MEN WHO FIGHT.For they will be rendered redundant only after Victory.
What gratitude I feel to be given the privilege of having my constellation of dead brothers with me.
Sunday, November 14, 2021
To fight and win- that is our raison d'être.
We have nothing else to do one earth. NOTHING ELSE.
Our insincerity makes us forget this at the most crucial hours.
