Riddle of this World-AUROBINDO part 5

[Guest guest]

This is indeed only the Truth of the

manifestation as it presents itself to the consciousness when

it stands on the border line between Eternity and

the descent into Time where the relation between the

One and the Many in the evolution is selfdetermined,

a zone where all that is to be is implied but not

yet in action. But the liberated consciousness can

rise higher where the problem exists no longer and

from there see it in the light of a supreme identity

where all is predetermined in the automatic

self-existent truth of things and self-justified to an absolute

consciousness and wisdom and absolute Delight which is behind

all creation and non-creation and the affirmation and

negation are both seen with the eyes of the ineffable

Reality that delivers and reconciles them. But that

knowledge is not expressible to the human mind; its

language of light is too undecipherable, the light itself

too bright for a consciousness accustomed to the

stress and obscurity of the cosmic riddle and entangled

in it to follow the clue or to grasp its secret. In

any case, it is only when we rise in the spirit

beyond the zone of the darkness and the struggle that we

enter into the full significance of it and there is a

deliverance of the soul from its enigma. To rise to that

height of liberation is the true way out and the only

means of the indubitable knowledge. <br><br>But that

liberation and transcendence need not necessarily impose a

disappearance, a sheer dissolving cut from the manifestation; it

can prepare a liberation into action of the highest

Knowledge and an intensity of Power that can transform the

world and fulfil the evolutionary urge. It is an ascent

from which there is no longer a fall but a winged or

self-sustained descent of light, force and Ananda.
