A synthesis of Savitri and Seven Rays

A Synthesis of the heart (mystic way of Krishna, Maitreya or Christ) and head (occult path of Buddha as explained in Theosophy and Seven Rays) paths fusing into Love-Wisdom (Ray 2 Lesson we are mastering here).

Savitri an epic, is a mantric expression of Seer-sage’s Sri Aurobindo's inner findings and conquests, leading to his vision of an supramental age of truth-consciousness and immortality (or the new age of Bailey or the sixth race of Blavatsky). He presents it in 12 books with their themes as below:

1. Beginnings

2. The Traveller of the Worlds

3. The Divine Mother

4. Birth and Quest

5. Love

6. Fate

7. Yoga

8. Death

9. Eternal Night

10.The Double Twilight

11.Everlasting Day

12.Epilogue

It is an epic poem of high spiritual challenge in the Yoga or Divine Union or Goal of Self-Realisation it presents. It portrays in living drama the daring climb within (that which DK calls initiations) of a king-soul (spiritual triad) through progressive states of consciousness to Nirvanic heights (reaching the Monad at later initiations) and beyond to summits never reached before. Briefly the theme is that Savitri (The coming Saviour Christ or Maitreya with his team of Masters on 7 Rays) has accepted the mortal birth in response to the ardent prayer of Aswapati the Yogi, at his insistence (which is our inner cry and spiritual endeavour to the greatest height) With a disciple's spiritually prepared ground, she see a certain readiness and comes down to conquer Death. The love between Savitri and Satyavan is the love of Maitreya towards his disciples. The knowledge-glow and the warrior-strength of Savitri is tested in the occult battle of Kurukshetra and eventually, Death (depicting loss of Soul to the glamor and grip of lower self) stands defeated against her. Sri Aurobindo goes further describing how Savitri had asked for The Life Divine for men and earth (the new age), for the soul of this evolutionary creation, and she is assured that it shall be so, that the earthly life shall become The Life Divine.

My goal is to intuit the synthesis between these approaches and such kind of work has never been attempted as far as my knowledge goes.

Albert Einstein on Intuition

Albert Einstein and Rabindranath Tagore In Berlin , Germany - Some selected quotes and thoughts of Albert Einstein on intuition - The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift. We will not solve the problems of the world from the same level of thinking we were at when we created them. More than anything else, this new century demands new thinking: We must change our materially based analyses of the world around us to include broader, more multidimensional perspectives. I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research. The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it Intuition or what you will, the solu

More on Synthesis

Again we shall contemplate on a few more words on the wisdom of synthesis (navigating the "narrow razor-edged Path" between duality or the "noble middle path" of Buddha) from our beloved DK. However I wish to emphasize that Djwal Khul and Alice Bailey demonstrated practical (not just theoretically) synthesis. For instance Alice Bailey being born in the west was open enough to acknowledge and bring forth teachings from a far wiser eastern/oriental master Djwal Khul. She could both surrender herself (a difficult quality to develop for the western concrete mind with its overemphasis on freedom) and at the same time was careful enough to guard herself against foolish blind devotion (a vice of oriental masses). Another disciple who demonstrated practical synthesis was Blavatsky (synthesis of religions). She established Theosophical society headquarters in the west and soon shifted it to the east although she worked and died for the cause of theosophy in the west. One mo

What is a seed-thought ?

One of my friends questioned me: What is a seed-thought ? This post attempts to throw some light with example, on the concept of a seed-thought. Here is how we define it: "A seed-thought is simply a thought-form or a phrase or symbolic words which conceal a fundamental truth and acts as a seed that sprouts in a contemplative meditation (meditation with a seed) revealing that truth." A Seed-thought being a (thought-)form, we need to look also the broader concept of "form as a symbol", of which a seed-thought is just an example. Earlier we tabulated so many example of trinities. "Purpose - Idea - Form" is one such trinity of symbol. What this means is that every symbol has three interpretations - as a from it is an expression of some underlying idea. This idea has behind it, in its turn, a deeper underlying purpose. These three interpretations of a symbol can be summarized as: 1. Exoteric interpretation: Based on its objective utility and upon the nature o
