IN RESPONSE TO JOY DEEP'S COUNTER REGARDING SRI AUROBINDO'S DAMAGING STATEMENT ON NETAJI



IN RESPONSE TO JOY DEEP'S COUNTER REGARDING SRI AUROBINDO'S DAMAGING STATEMENT ON NETAJI

But Sri Aurobindo supposedly was a seer and ought to, by his self-professed claims to super-divine standards whereby he was in the process of altering terrestrial human consciousness altogether, have known better. If he did not, which it seems to have been the case, then his and the Mother's semblance of omniscience as God-incarnate will be deemed rather suspect and the tall claims to yogic insights and attainments will crash to a precipitous fall. When the Mother met Abid Hassan and heard his spirited defence of his leader, her extreme views about Netaji were moderated and she along with her master adopted a softer, although, the same principled line in policy, towards Netaji. This sort of experiential ever-adjusting perspective about personalities while being suggestive of human pliability, is certainly indicative as well of flawed judgement, the incapacity to see through to the inner nature of man and the paucity in the perceptive faculties whereby yogis with unerring insight can read into the seeds of time, space and causality, a sine qua non at any rate for anyone seeking to masterfully alter the course of human destiny through the working of the truth consciousness (hreet chetana). Such human fallibility, while being very much acceptable in rational terms, is rather incongruous in the self-defined divine setting to which the Mother had placed the Master (Sri Aurobindo) and the Master the Mother. So, it is a curious medley of misguided metaphysics that seems to have stolen the show and sunk the ship of the supposed spiritual duo midstream.
