Sri Aurobindo — Doshi, Nagin
1935
1935
When I asked about the difference between the cosmic and the Divine Truth it was not “the truth of things” that was in my mind. Rather I wanted to know the difference between the Yogi’s cosmic experiences and his spiritual experiences.
The Yogi’s cosmic experiences are spiritual experiences – experiences of the play of the Forces and its relation with the Self, the action of the Guide, what is behind the appearance of things, occurrences etc. etc., the actual relations of the workings of Purusha and Prakriti etc. The Divine Truth is the truth of the divine Essence, Consciousness, Self, Knowledge. Light, Power, Bliss. It is something from which the cosmos derives with all its movements, but it is more than the cosmos.
