A body can hold higher consciousness

 Collated by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Discovered the works of M M Sankhdher while going through the papers of Hayek and started reading his work ‘Reflections on Indians Politics’. In first 20 pages itself, he has quoted Russel Kirk, Michael Oakeshott, Hayek et. al approvingly and called Marx a poor economist.

https://x.com/i/status/2086092257028161652

“The false ‘hard problem of consciousness’ assumes upfront that there exists a metaphysical gap between mind and body. This contradicts everything we have learned about nature.” Carlo Rovelli for @NoemaMag

https://x.com/i/status/2085792102810800229

In fact, it is because of the solidarity of the higher with the lower principles that we can speak of the evolution of the lower to the higher. There is no point in saying that man can evolve into the Divine if nothing that constitutes man, his physical body, the universe which surrounds him, his mental faculties, remains with him when he rises to this higher status. Man in that case will disappear to give rise to a higher species. This is not the picture of evolution that Sri Aurobindo gives us. A disembodied existence, spurning a body, mind and physical environment, is not the picture of the future man that he presents to us. Whatever else the future man may be, he is for Sri Aurobindo not a disembodied existence. He will of course exhibit a higher consciousness, but that higher consciousness can only manifest itself in a covering where all the elements of our present covering, namely, a physical universe, a body, a vital organism, a mind, a soul are there, though, of course, in a transformed condition.

SK Maitra, The Meeting of the East and the West in Sri Aurobindo’s Philosophy: IX. Sri Aurobindo’s Vision of the Future

Vedic Dhyana: Siddhi

The Rishis have no problem seeking powers from the devas or universal forces. This is part of their yajna for a holistic development

There are great teachers like Sri Ramakrishna who tell us not to hanker after siddhis and they have a point. Even Swami Vivekananda said something similar

But if one has pure intent free of ego then one may develop these powers. For each great realisation can help in establishing dharma. Sri Ramakrishna himself had realized many siddhis

Thus the Veda is full of these invocations of the devas to establish them within and use them as allies in the spiritual journey. We can be bold and seek them egolessly as long as we ensure that they are only to be used to help in our yogic development 

https://x.com/i/status/2085952484606914598

Vedic Dhyana on Transformation

When I began doing dhyana more than 40 years ago, I began with the sakshya bhaava. Watch all the thoughts pass through the mind. Be aware. Be awake. I tried Vipassana. Krishnamurti. There is nothing wrong with this dhyana. But it is not easy because the mind loves to jump from one branch to another, a monkey. I had only one goal then. To somehow become enlightened. That would be the door, I was told. And I tried for years with constant failures. It was very frustrating

But the Veda takes another route. It makes us notice the ananda of existence, the rasa or elixir that is inherent in the whole universe that springs out of Tapasya in RV 1.2.1. And if we can touch that one drop of sweetest honey then we are changed forever. And we can use the luminous Bindu of this rapturous celebration of being and use its power to change everything. This is the Vedic way, of affirmation, of joy and self-mastery from finding the secret of life. Ananda. So the secret is Bliss. And we can touch it more easily I think if we have the Vedic attitude. The world is a Sukkha Samsara then if I may respectfully paraphrase the Buddha

https://x.com/i/status/2085946233860825421

For this reason studying Sri Aurobindo gives more complete Knowledge than studying the past spiritual giants incl. Adi Sankara Bagavatpada who focused predominantly on the silent Brahman. Sri Krishna hints it in the Gita but doesn't elaborate, leaving it to SA.

Interestingly, Aniruddha Sircar (13 March 1933—14 November 2023)—lovingly known in Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry, as ‘Babu’ or ‘Babu-da’—was quite fond of this passage. Although he candidly admitted that he did not possess any of the qualities mentioned in this passage, he always strived to get the details right and execute whatever he did to the best of his ability. Not only was he a voracious reader who had an enviable command over English and Bengali literature and a prolific writer but was, at the same time, a most loving and affectionate teacher who had become a legendary figure in his lifetime.

An article on Aniruddha Sircar authored by Anurag Banerjee has been published on the website of Overman Foundation along with a pictorial tribute. To read the article, kindly click on the following link:

7 hours ago — Few works of modern spiritual philosophy rival Sri Aurobindo's The Life Divine in ambition. Published in revised form in 1939-40 after first appearing ... For many readers, The Life Divine represents one of the greatest achievements of twentieth-century metaphysical thought. Yet admiration for its literary grandeur should not exempt it from critical scrutiny. From the standpoint of philosophy and science, the book raises profound problems that remain largely unresolved.

Aurobindo sought to reconcile every major intellectual tradition into one comprehensive worldview. The aspiration itself is admirable. Yet comprehensive systems often become difficult to criticize precisely because they explain everything. Whenever contradictions arise, additional metaphysical distinctions are introduced—different planes, levels, involutionary stages, subtle realities, supramental principles—until the framework becomes increasingly insulated from external critique. One begins to wonder whether the theory is describing reality or preserving itself.

Literary Magnificence versus Philosophical Precision

None of this diminishes Aurobindo's extraordinary literary achievement. His prose possesses remarkable cadence and intellectual richness. Few philosophers write with such visionary confidence. Reading The Life Divine often feels less like studying an argument than entering a vast cathedral of ideas. Yet literary grandeur can obscure logical vulnerability. The sheer scale of the synthesis creates an impression of inevitability. Readers may find themselves persuaded emotionally before examining whether individual inferential steps actually follow. This is perhaps the book's greatest rhetorical strength—and greatest philosophical danger.
