Sri Aurobindo

Letters of Sri Aurobindo

SABCL 26

Fragment ID: 8097

Q: What is the utility of making effort for other realisations once we have known the supreme secret (uttamam rahasyam) that you are the Divine Incarnate and the Mother is the Para-Shakti? That alone, I think, is the highest realisation and all others – the realisation of the cosmic consciousness, or of the Presence of the Immanent Divine, or even of the silent immutable Brahman – are lower or secondary in comparison with it. Whatever is to be done in the world will also be done by you and the Mother and hardly anyone else is even an instrument for that work.

A: Yes, but for that to be a constant realisation in its fullness the same effort has to be made and if made will bring the other realisations with it as parts of the main realisation.
