But, Vikas, we are waiting for your response first. Whatever happens, the Aurobindonian ideals and perceptions are governed in the least by things such as the Lives, and in it is their authentic strength. As regards neo-colonisation of minds, we need not really harbour any fear, though there is so much of aggressive and oppressive darkness in the book that one shudders to think of it colonizing us. In any case, I’ll go back to Blake who, against the dark Satanic mills, revoltingly asserted that he would not cease from mental fight until these are destroyed. He was riding a chariot of fire and asking for bow and arrow of burning gold. We too have to lift up our defeatless Gandivas and shirk not from the battle that has come as a ‘holiday’ for the warrior spirit. It is a long battle and has got to be fought. ~ RYD
