Saami, nothing could be further than the actual situation..when Master continued His sadhana in Pondicherry it was for a specific inner action with very exact repercussions. It has been affirmed in our own experience, the use of a higher will to influence external events.

Coming from a brahmin family when I first read this somewhere it shocked me a little. But it was the beginning of my understanding that traditional sampradaya r stuck in a time warp. SA is gently nudging the sampradayas to see the bigger picture beyond their founder's doctrine

Sri Aurobindo and the mother have presented Islam in its truest form. At its core its aim is noble, to take humanity to the highest divine consciousness in a unified way. But zealots have misused it for power and destruction.

Moksha/Mukti the condition of the soul being freed from hampering conditions of body, life and mind. After Mukti the soul acts in its freedom in the world conditions it can choose to retreat to higher spheres. Post Mukti the soul can choose to manifest again if it wishes.

A typical instance of a triad is that of Śunaḥśepa in ṚV 1.24.13 in which his foot-irons are fastened to 3 different places of a sacrificial post & in ṚV 9.73.8 where the clarification of the divine draught is compared to 3 internal sieves responsible for poetical inspiration.

The enemies' weakening might save Dharma, but not Dharma's own strength. The good work of Infinity, Indica, Upword, Atharva etc. shows Dharma is more alive than 20 years ago. The problem is that they have a limited reach, & the Gvt is not intervening to remove those hurdles.

Dharma is a self-existent Force of the Supreme, if you please. It doesn't require goverments or individuals for its workings. You speak as if Dharma were dependent on human help and participation! It doesn't.

Encouragement of a purer sattwic element

In 1665 Cambridge University closed because of plague. Isaac Newton retreated to rural Lincolnshire. During his 2 years in lockdown he worked out calculus, the true meaning of colour, gravitation, planetary orbits & the 3 Laws of Motion. Will 2020 be someone’s Annus Mirabilis?
https://twitter.com/RichardDawkins/status/1306489173197561856?s=19

He also pursued his theology, which he was more passionate about even than his 'principia mathematica'! 'This most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent Being.'
https://twitter.com/DrjezJEREMY/status/1306509241327464448?s=19

His theology was vacuous and added nothing not said centuries before, and nothing to progress understanding. That's why theology's best today is still the same inane arguments from design put forth 1000 years ago and shredded by Hume and Kant.
https://twitter.com/thegriffin666/status/1306598182533697537?s=19

Right. Except that Newton was an Epicurian/Lucretian/Brunoist/Spinozist type. Christians claiming him as some great theist are historically WRONG.
https://twitter.com/Auntie_Haxxer/status/1306666177704398858?s=19

Gave a 2 1/2 hour lecture (probably the longest I've ever done) on Nietzsche and the Death of God today (via zoom), managed to fit in McLuhan, Sloterdijk, Altizer, and Jung's responses as well, and also some Nietzsche-inspired muzak.
https://twitter.com/krumbbumm/status/1306753790024974336?s=19

“If we are to think, we do need an ego first, but behind the ego that I immediately know– which I posited– there is another ego rearing up; I do not know this latter ego, which uses me as its eye, as it were. This unknown ego that looks through me is called God.”
-Sloterdijk
“When a creative type passes away, the agitated world pauses for a second & meditates on the conveyance of a work in progress into the global archive. During this meditative second we are closer to the phenomenon of the twilight of the gods than we would otherwise be”
Sloterdijk
“For the citizens of modernity, theological enlightenment – which is completely different from an instinctive rejection of religion – will be a fateful task.”
-Sloterdijk, ‘After God’
https://twitter.com/krumbbumm/status/1306332250330390528?s=19

"Klages identifies intellect with the spirit. But intellect is a human business while the spirit is no human business; it is a principle which we do not make. It makes us, it seizes us. And spirit is by no means an enemy of life; it is a dynamic condition, like anything."
Jung
1/2 fair to Klages:"We are inclined to see the decisive deed of the spirit not in the act of apprehension, but in that of will, & to use it as the standpoint from which to understand spirituality itself, that is, the essence of consciousness, & to posit vitality as its reflection
https://twitter.com/krumbbumm/status/1305435047797817348?s=19
“of a few things I do not want to remain silent; namely human beings who were missing everything except the one thing they have too much of– human beings who are nothing more than one big eye, or one big maw or some other big thing – inverse cripples I call such types”
Nietzsche
Really reminded me of McLuhan, especially with the description of the Ear-man that follows. Maybe Neech was more of a media ecologist than recognized.
https://twitter.com/krumbbumm/status/1305255688034070528?s=19
If you believe in doing Sādhana over multiple lives, it is fine. 😀 Besides, the beauty of Sanskrit is the effect on the mind. It cools it down through the vibrations of the inner voice when we read the texts.
https://twitter.com/vakibs/status/1166768223695593472?s=19
Of course, Sanskrit can be treated as an independent language in it’s own right. And people can study that separately. But memorizing thousands of tense and case endings just to speak a sentence will be hard for novices. Why should we insist on making this hard journey for all?
https://twitter.com/vakibs/status/1298724186995621896?s=19

Those who are drawn towards the vortex of Sanskrit texts in their youthful enthusiasm are inviting trouble for all their life. One text will lead to another and then multiple commentaries etc. would rob many pleasures and cause vertigo. Sri Aurobindo's English translations safer.
Promoting Sanskrit means bondage with the past. Absurd mythology, politically incorrect glorifications, and archaic grammar rules etc. Modern Indian languages have successfully negotiated present challenges and are infinitely better to be given priority. So no Sanskrit in school. -Savitrieraparty

1920: The Mother has returned back with new experiences and renewed resolve to make the world see light. Nothing is secure not even her equations with Sri Aurobindo or his associates. ARYA has done its job; something else is needed. An experiment of living in a spiritual commune.
https://twitter.com/SavitriEraParty/status/1303902447593644032?s=19
From 95 Theses to 22 Pledges, only the froth has been seen as profound fermentation. ARYA (1914 - 21) is a tangible event in World history which can no longer be ignored. A must read for all irrespective of prejudices against Sri Aurobindo as an escapist or inaugurator of a cult.
By writing on diverse themes in ARYA month after month for six and a half years, Sri Aurobindo built a firm foundation for a future civilisation by laying down universal principles and showing solutions for common challenges. Essential reading for negotiating ethical quandaries.
Encouragement of a purer sattwic element is the business of ethics, says Sri Aurobindo in SoY which implies that everything is not wired or predetermined. There's always a choice for redesigning the future in which the nature or the result of action don't actually matter too much

Currently, I am in the process of editing forthcoming volumes for publications entitled "Emotion and Information Processing: A Particle Approach" to be published by Springer Nature. I would like to take this opportunity to cordially invite you to submit your work for consideration in this publication.
We are looking forward to your chapter proposal submission by March 15, 2020 (Firm Deadline) for consideration in these volumes for publication. The Details of the Book as follows:
Emotion and Information Processing Meets Brain Science presents an overview of the exciting, truly multidisciplinary research by neuroscientists and systems engineers in the emerging field of cognitive systems, providing a cross-disciplinary examination of this cutting-edge area of scientific research. This is a great example of where research in very different disciplines touches to create a newly emerging area of research. The book illustrates some of the technical developments that could arise from our growing understanding of how living cognitive systems behave, and the ability to use that knowledge in the design of artificial systems. This unique book is of considerable interest to researchers and students in information science, neuroscience, psychology, engineering, and adjacent fields.
Dealing with emotions is probably the central focus of health care not only because of their psychological relevance but also because they have a crucial role in clinical decision-making. From a general point of view, some authors claim that a satisfactory decisional process is impossible without emotions. In fact, emotional and cognitive systems, even if distinct, are strictly interwoven and interdependent, and these interconnections drive an active and appropriate adaptation to the environment. Emotions are also giving-sense judgment processes. So, they convey an intrinsic cognitive value and are important in appraising the main problems of the patient and his (her) relatives.

The Sri Aurobindo Ashram did a door to door 1 time 3 meal distribution to 1500 inmates in 300 locations
To avoid waiting, pilots were sent à few minutes ahead informing food arrival. This could be replicated as model for intimation/non panic while distributing D to D essentials?
This was done to maintain social distancing norms. Usually inmates and visitors have their meals at the Common Dining Room or come to the dining room to collect full their tiffin carriers (https://twitter.com/AloPal/status/1242751086630293505?s=03)
