But Heehs does the reverse; he presents the spiritual truth and counters it with the materialistic view, so that he ends up downplaying Sri Aurobindo’s philosophy and criticising his works in a hostile manner for the sake of gaining sympathy from the materialist. Not that he does not appreciate or present the spiritual view of Sri Aurobindo, but he tilts the final balance of negative and positive statements against him.
Spiritual Evolution, East and West By Adam Dietz

ReplyDeleteIf I remember correctly your postings in Mirror of Tomorrow, you wrote that you are not a devotee; or not a bhakta. But I am one and, although certainly I am not the Mother, I can somehow imagine how it must have looked like, to find herself materially cut off from Sri Aurobindo, from one day to the next… In the company of Paul Richard instead… a titanic manifestation of the Asura of Falsehood, the Lord of Nations… trying to strangle the Mother and throw her out of the window, because she refused to surrender to him instead of Sri Aurobindo, plus other details that I prefer to omit…
In my smallness, every time I returned to my husband in Rome I spent the first two months sleeping as much as I could, so lost and lonely I felt, suddenly deprived of the atmosphere and company of certain great sadhaks… Many times I asked them how could they bear to keep living, without the physical presence of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother…
The Avatar is both, divine and human. This is his uniqueness.
