Human Progress

I believe in human progress and evolution. Man has the innate capacity to outgrow and master all his imperfections and darkness, and he should develop this and grow into a creative, constructive and divinized higher being. The human society should also grow accordingly and conquer all darkness within and without, surpassing all racial, religious, linguistic, political and other artificial barriers.

I say, following Sri Aurobindo :
Nature shall live to manifest secret God,
The Spirit shall take up the human play,
The earthly life become the life divine.

I say, following the Mother [Mira Alfassa]:
Man is the creation of Yesterday.
Sri Aurobindo came to announce the creation of tomorrow : the coming of the supramental being. 

Man has problems. He has sufferings, defeats, imperfections, incompleteness, failures, diseases, ignorance, darkness, inertia, animal hungers, dissatisfactions, sorrows and death. He is limited, imprisoned, in chains everywhere. And he finally succumbs to an unwelcome death.

But he questions his imperfections, incompleteness, ignorance, darkness, diseases, and even his death. He has an inborn aspiration to overcome all these and to have the conquest over all his imperfections and defeats. He has tried to fulfil this aspiration by his progress and growth in knowledge and use and application of sciences, foundation of philosophies and schools of thoughts, and researches into the spiritual domain, through political and social changes, reformations and revolutions, through economic changes, through industrial and agricultural reformations and growth, and through religions. There have been prophets, seers and sages from time immemorial, philosophers, scientists and socio-political thinkers, but Man find himself back at the square one. Some persons might have attained moksha [spiritual liberation] or nirvana or nearness to the heavenly Lord, but the trillions and trillions of human beings are at the same place, in front of the Sphinx.

As long as man continues to remain what he has been so long in the past fifty millennia or so, since the days of the Homo Sapiens, bound to his past and his limitations and imperfections and incapacities, his ignorance and darkness, there cannot be any hope for him.

He must solve the riddle of existence. He must surpass himself, cross his limitations, aspire to transcend himself and prepare himself for the new World.

Says the Mother :
Sri Aurobindo came on earth from the Supreme to announce the manifestation of a new race and a new world, the Supramental.

This is your Destiny, your true Goal: to prepare yourself, to build yourself for the advent of the new world, new race, new Humanity, to march towards the New Horizon.

If you are in search of Truth, of ever-growing Perfection, of the true Art and Science of human life, you are welcome always. We may have discussions and communications with each other.
