Sri Aurobindo's quote emphasizes self-mastery, perseverance, and continuous growth for entrepreneurs. 

It suggests that overcoming personal limitations builds resilience and empowerment, enabling further victories.

Key learnings include self-discipline, self-awareness, perseverance through challenges, and perpetual self-improvement for sustained success in entrepreneurial endeavours.

Read the detailed post (link below) on this mindful quote and do let me know your thoughts. Link: t.ly/wdi0Y

Have a fantastic weekend.

There is no iota of difference between the purpose of Lord Shriram and Sri Aurobindo, and their role in evolution of earth consciousness. Yet it is unfortunate that everyone is hush hush about the manner in which SAS was taken over. Too complex for human mind to comprehend.

What Makes the Teachings of the Gita Great

Who is Adhikaari to study the Gita?

These are the two short articles of mine published in the April 2024 Issue of Sri Aurobindo's Action - A Journal of India's Resurgence.

 *Reality and the Integral Knowledge*... 

Now, descend to the base of this mountain. Here lies the Inconscience, the primordial soup from which all evolution springs. Yet, this consciousness isn't blinded by the seeming darkness. Instead, it perceives the spark of the One by and the All, the divine essence hidden within these depths.

The Book ( A novel based on #LifeDivine by #SriAurobindo)

Part 1: The Quest

Chapter 8: The Plan

In "The Plan," a group of individuals reminisces about a pivotal decision they made together, which they recall fondly despite the unexpected consequences. 

They discuss the potential of AI systems to predict social events and the principles underlying human accomplishment. Each member shares personal stories, reflecting diverse backgrounds and perspectives. 

They agree to collaborate on creating an AI system to enhance human capabilities, aiming to integrate man and machine rather than replacing human intelligence. 

Meanwhile, Kurt Levin seeks advice from Professor Stearne on formulating a system of human accomplishment, reflecting on the challenges and potential solutions.

Yes, that is why they are aspects of One.  Sri Aurobindo  is one of those who has brought this out. It is not about commonalities, though there are many, but different facets.

I personally have no qualms even if they did - but the language simply makes more sense in the allegorical context that Sri Aurobindo suggests. The verses suggest expressions of spiritual inspiration. Later interpolations when the elasticity of the poetic language had become more rigid & emphasis shifted primarily to the ritualistic basis. Sri Aurobindo’s theory explains a lot of these contradictions satisfactorily.

These two have insane sexual chemistry which is baffling because they look incredibly cute when placed next to each other. I guess this is the reason why the intimate scenes in Janam Dekh Lo from Veer Zaara channel divinity, not lewdness.

https://twitter.com/patakaofperalta/status/1750069475825877178?t=OyG9UX_G5ssJzLVYmABh0Q&s=19

The thing is, Bollywood used to be much more sincere and simplistic with their portrayal of sexuality back in the days. That's why family audience were more comfortable watching stuff like this like Veer Zaara literally has a entire song where the girl dreams herself getting undressed and cuked by her imaginary bf. If that scene was shot today it would be so uncomfortable, but that movie makes it feel like it's poetry

https://twitter.com/collaterral_MAX/status/1785698571859493141?t=8tzRU_CF8_vUj3jAvJO9tQ&s=19

Indians have neither the sense of history nor the reality or self respect. Bomb them, launch terrorist attacks, kill their civilians but they'll continue living in a varying degree of delusion and fantasy. They have a Bollywood movie playing at the back of their mind 24x7.

https://twitter.com/sarngarava/status/1785578950594560287?t=j_nPrOPMEL_4qJz11MQ5Nw&s=19

Now going back to my point on the media. Indian public is highly influenced by the films. Bollywood industry which is also run by Joos as is Hollywood (I worked in the business so I know). Through cinema they’ve promoted Hindu hate, culture of violence & rape etc.

https://twitter.com/BastAnubis37/status/1785721356849647904?t=MdafPOlYR5CjNZlw8M9Y7w&s=19

In implicate order everything is already 'recorded' just like a movie is already shot and edited. It's out of time, time is just projection on the cinema screen that we call reality or 'process of unfolding'

https://twitter.com/PetraBorn179708/status/1785744342327398546?t=JtJkVcvH7oLaPn4dlYFMlw&s=19

The difference between David Bohm's and Whitehead's metaphysics is subtle but in some ways all-important. Bohm views the implicate order as a finished whole: infinite, yes, but not subject to any additions by way of the ongoing creative advance of explicate particulars. Whitehead in some sense inverts this picture by making "absolute" that which each concrescent occasion achieves moment by moment. There is no finished whole: the universe is "an incompletion in process of production" (PR 214-15). This process is iterative and cumulative, allowing for a cosmogenesis of ongoing self-differentiation into ever more inclusive relational wholeness, with no final One that might subsume the Many. In Whitehead’s terms, “each creative act is the universe incarnating itself as one, and there is nothing above it by way of final condition” (PR 245).

“Change” means the rearrangement of already existing things. “Process” on the other hand means the creation or coming into being of a thing.

Yes, that would be Bohm’s view. Whitehead’s view is different: process is not a mere appearance; it is as real as it gets.

https://twitter.com/ThouArtThat/status/1785740372603515076?t=IY440SNoJXdlcDyvk7OCOg&s=19

Presumably politics would be easier if human beings were capable either of accessing or assessing facts independent of narratives. 

With great practice and good theory we may be capable of the former.

I’m not sure the latter is possible. Assessment presupposes valuation, some sense of why a fact is important.

https://twitter.com/ThouArtThat/status/1785818307179991094?t=EZMbQOpMFpuuEyAs5kEb_w&s=19

Reminded here also of Hume’s two conditions of justice, neither of which hinge on this.

Also not sure about the possibility of the latter fwiw.

Sri Aurabindo wasn't a lexicanologist or anthropologist

 Collated by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Lines from Sri Aurobindo comes to one's mind," The Fiend was visible but cloaked in light;He seemed a helping angel from the skies,He armed untruth with Scripture and the law,he deceived with wisdom and virtue slew the soul..." The only great man who refused to meet Gandhi.

https://twitter.com/NithyaM56318875/status/1779551297571795405?t=rGtHNo2eipmlDhCp3cNHiA&s=19

Sri aurabindo wasn't a lexicanologist or anthropologist. Sanskrit is Eurasian laungage which flourished across sub continent alongside the migration of Eurasian steppes, 8000 years ago.

Come with some peer reviewed articles of lexicanologist or anthropologist than coming out with trash of Aurobindo.

Stop sending me Aurobindo garbage. Just including  few Sanskrit words does not authenticate  nothing. You people are shameless in saying Australia is where Indian yogis kept  war fares.

If Indian yogis were so great why 87% foodless here until 6 decades ago.

https://twitter.com/Heartofkapila/status/1779779959210287252?t=Qf_xnC2VdJv4G1NVxth_mw&s=19

I'd rather put Swami Vivekanand and Aurobindo's photo under Buddha murti instead of Ambedkar and Phule as the former two were closer to the Buddha ideologically than the latter two.

Hence Nisargatta Maharajs humble statement the himself he is a mere school teacher and osho is like principal of large school.  Osho discourses of zen were taught by Japanese masters… sheer spiritual genius.  What aurobindo is to free India, osho is to modern world. /3

And we don't hear much about those who truly were great such as Sri Aurobindo..

A person with all possible qualities one can think of.. a scholar, saint, revolutionary, poet, philosopher..

We clearly don't have financial sovereignty. Collective decision process from the residents has been by-passed in the last few years. We have an international network of well wishers who share the Auroville values abroad which is definitely akin to an extended network.

A city without politics, religions and money were the ideals for Auroville given by the Mother who founded it in 1968. Auroville is far from that ideal and to claim that it has already become so is ignorant and false propaganda.

Auroville is changing. When I lived here in 2020, aurovillians were discontent. But today, they are deeply unhappy. Plans for Bharat nivas are slowly eclipsing the Mother's vision. Matrimandir viewing point now looks like a mining site.

The Kama Sutra draws attention to the tension between the monogamous housewife and the polygamous courtesan. The former has access to status, power, dignity and nobility while the latter has freedom, agency and enterprise. The two belong to very different worlds. This was part of Indian culture for over 2,000 years. This system was broken down brutally by the British with the support of nationalists, who saw the courtesan culture as a sign of corruption and debauchery. In this one aspect, the nationalists and the colonialists agreed.
