Intense Fire and Flame of Savitri

The intense fire and Flame of Savitri:

A conscious frame was here, a self-born Force.

In this enigma of the dusk of God,

This slow and strange uneasy compromise

Of limiting Nature with a limitless Soul,

Where all must move between an ordered Chance

And an uncaring blind Necessity,

Too high the fire spiritual dare not blaze.

If once it met the intense original Flame,

An answering touch might shatter all measures made

And earth sink down with the weight of the Infinite.

Page 18, Savitri (A Legend, Symbol, the Mantric Epic of Sri Aurobindo), The Issue.

How is Savitri different from an ordinary earthbound human ? She is a Force, a power in touch with higher planes of consciousness. Her mold is fully conscious and active. An ordinary earth life is mysterious puzzle difficult to solve. We are in a twilight of God, where the light of truth and darkness of ignorance are almost equally balanced. At our current stage in evolution, the material world is restricting to a limitless soul such as Savitri. For her it is certainly a slow, strange and an uneasy compromise. The material world is governed by physical laws creating conditions of limitations under which a soul has to live when it takes birth here. On other hand not everything can be determined and predicted by these laws appearing like an ordered Chance. Between such 'ordered Chance' and 'an uncaring blind Necessity' of these physical laws, the fire of will and aspiration cannot risk to flame up too high. Thus even the fire of spiritual progress cannot dare to be ablaze under present limiting material conditions of Nature. If it is fully ablaze in present conditions and recieves unrestricted response from original Divine Flame, then it might break into pieces all measures of form and the entire material framework. Since consciousness evolves gradually via manifested form through ages, a too-soon and full descent of spiritual energy and power will shock the earth with its Infinite weight.

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...
