A critique of the book "The Lives of Sri Aurobindo" by Peter Heehs ... By Raman Reddy
After the Mother’s passing away in 1973, the circumference of her spiritual action seems to have further increased and spread across India, especially in the states of Orissa and Tamilnadu and less in the rest of the world, so that no single institution can now claim monopoly over Sri Aurobindo and the Mother’s teachings. The question that comes to my mind is how is it that the most difficult Yoga, a Yoga which begins where the old Yogas end, has been at all accepted by so many? It only shows the Power that is behind and the infinite plasticity it has to adapt itself to various levels of consciousness. It is in the context of this action of the Mother that the present situation should be judged. People often compare the glorious days of old with the present times, but they don’t visualise what would have happened had there been no takers after the first generation of disciples disappeared with time. Thus, ironically, it is this very dilution that has been our gain, for so many of us would never even have had the chance to enter the life of the Ashram. This of course does not mean that more dilution is welcome, because there is a point at which we have to stop, prevent a further fall and even defend the institution from the hostile attacks of those forces which are too ready to enter the Ashram and destroy it from without or within…

Actually, it is not the simple-hearted disciples who have the capacity to formulate a religion, it is the pundits allied with the politicians who generally create it. So, if at all a new religion is formulated by the followers of Sri Aurobindo, it will be the intellectuals and administrators who will do it for “the good of humanity” at the risk of losing all inner spontaneity. From this point of view, the common disciple will be far better off with the good old basics of spirituality – faith, peace, aspiration, perseverance, surrender and devotion, and above all relying on Sri Aurobindo and the Mother’s own words than anybody else’s interpretation of their Yoga.
