All here is Spirit, The Ways of the Spirit * 1
    #26479723 - 02/11/20 08:15 AM (4 years, 1 month ago)

A few poems by Sri Aurobindo (https://www.collectedworksofsriaurobindo.com/) that I wanted to share.

In the first poem he shows how the Spirit has created Matter from Itself.

In 'The Ways of the Spirit' he shows us how Spirit guides us and is working towards a Supranatural world.

After days of detoxing, hours of preparation, in those peaking moments we realize the truth of the Spirit...

All here is Spirit

All here is Spirit self-moved eternally
For Matter is its seeming or its form,
A finite motion of Infinity
Built up by energy’s electric storm,

A flux of solid instability
Whirled into shape by a tremendous Force
That labours out the world’s fabric endlessly,
Creates and then destroys without remorse

Titan and worm, the dew-drop and the sea,
Our fragile bodies like the aeoned star,
But through it all remains immortally
The secret spirit we for ever are.

Matter is Spirit’s semblance glamorous
Self-woven for its own field and robe and house.

The Ways of the Spirit [1]

What points ascending Nature to her goal?
’Tis not man’s lame transcribing intellect
With its carved figures rigid and erect
But the far subtle vision of his soul.

His instruments have served his weakness well
But they must change to tread the paths of Fire
That lead through his calm self immeasurable
To the last rapture’s incandescent spire.

The spirit keeps for him its ample ways,
A sense that takes the world into our being,
A close illumined touch and intimate seeing,
Wide Thought that is a god’s ensphering gaze,

A tranquil heart in sympathy with all,
A will wide-winging, armed, imperial.

The Ways of the Spirit [2]

Aroused from Matter’s sleep when Nature strove
Into the half lights of the embodied mind
She left not all imprisonment behind
But trailed an ever lengthening chain, and the love

Of shadows and half lustres went with her.
In timid mood were shaped our instruments;
Horizon and surface barriered thought and sense,
Forbidden to look too high, too deep to peer.

An algebra of signs, a scheme of sense,
A symbol language without depth or wings,
A power to handle deftly outward things
Are our scant earnings of intelligence.

Yet towards a greater Nature paths she keeps
Threading the grandeur of her climbing steeps.

Yea Sri Aurobindo always writes from his own experience, people are still waking up to his work, those that have read some of it would have realised that he is the most evolved liberated being still working from the subtle physical...
