A synthesis of Savitri and Theosophy - Painting No 6

 "All can be done if the god-touch is there.

A hope stole in that hardly dared to be

Amid the Night’s forlorn indifference.

As if solicited in an alien world

With timid and hazardous instinctive grace,

Orphaned and driven out to seek a home,

An errant marvel with no place to live,

Into a far-off nook of heaven there came

A slow miraculous gesture’s dim appeal.

The persistent thrill of a transfiguring touch

Persuaded the inert black quietude

And beauty and wonder disturbed the fields of God."


A Theosophical meditation:


Sri Aurobindo says that when a man gets touched and motivated by the Divine Will (Ray 1) then every thing becomes possible for such a realized man. Theosophically such is an enlightened and intelligent purpose which is also cooperative, adjusting itself to Divine plan of Hierarchy and fits in with the purpose of the Planetary Logos.


In the Dark Night with its pitiful and sad indifference and in an alien world, a Divine appeal seems like an marvellous straying orphan without a home, coming from a far-off secured corner of heaven. The dark is being persuaded by a thrilling and transfiguring touch of a wandering and dim glowing hand. Huta paints that hand in the inert dark which feels like a God-touch of Divine Will (Ray 1).

Aphorisms as seed-thoughts

 Subsequent to our discussion on seed-thoughts, another great example of seed-thouht I think is an aphorism. The complete agni-yoga series of books by Roerichs are aphorisms of Ethical living (and give Ray 1 flavour of fiery will to the yoga of synthesis). Similarly the temple aphorisms of Francia A. La Due give a Ray 5 flavour of occult science to the works of H.P. Blavatsky and William Q. Judge. We quote those aphorims (as seed-thoughts) from temple teachings of Master H. (with his image):  "Days come and days go, but if thou watchest thou shalt see: THE LOAD thou hast laid on the heart of a friend will God transfer to thine own heart; heavy as it presses on the heart of thy friend, heavier will it press on thine own heart in the days to come. THE STONE thou hast cast from the path of the blind will smite the adder lying in wait for thee. THE WEIGHT thou hast clamped on the feet of another will drag thine own feet into Hadean desolation. THE SHELTER thou hast given the wayfa...

Esoteric astrology & psychology of Alexander Grothendieck part 1

A disciple from the inner ashram of Hilarion (Ray 5) I am trying to discern here energetic (seven rays) pattern in Grothendieck's esoterically challenging life through perspectives offered by Esoteric Astrology, Psychology and the Science of Seven Rays. The exoteric life details of this great disciple can be found on Grothendieck Circle Website, which will be the reference for the exoteric facts of this post. 1. Grothendieck (born in Germany) remained stateless throughout his life but choose to settle in a country (France) whose Soul Ray is fifth and Personality ray is Third reflecting his estimated ray profile through my research. 2. I hypothesize that Grothendieck subconsciously responded to energies from the Avatar of Synthesis by influencing the work of Saunders Maclane giving rise to a foundational branch (although he didn't give first definition of a category) of Mathematics called Category theory which is precisely the synthesis of entire mathematics (not yet fully ackno...

The Yoga of Synthesis Diary Leaves 4

 Album The Yoga of Synthesis  Dated 22 January 2025 The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali give us four stages of meditation and when applied on symbols we find: 1. First, as the form is pondered upon, the realisation begins to dawn that it is but a symbol of an inner reality. 2. Second, there is a recognition of the quality or nature of the form—its subjective energy, the quality of the force that seems to flow through it, the emotion that the symbol arouses. 3. Third, as we concentrate on considering the quality, we arrive next at the purpose, the motive, and the idea that the symbol has held concealed. 4. Fourth, in the final stage of identification, one becomes at one with the symbol; one shares its quality; one participates in its purpose, and through these stages one arrives at a unity with the creator of the form. When applied to the four symbols (of Helena Blavatsky, Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, Alice Bailey, and the category-theoretic model of Cause-Meaning/Quality-Effect), we...
