Reading the above article remind me of an excerpt from SAVITRI in which Sri Aurobindo expresses the adventure of humankind. (Book Two, Canto Five): "The eternal prepares within Its matter of divine felicity, its reign of heavenly phenomenon. Even in our sceptic mind of ignorance A foresight comes of some immense release, our will lifts towards it slow and shaping hands. Each part in us desires its absolute: Our thoughts covet the everlasting Light, Our strength derives from an omnipotent Force, And since from a veiled God-joy the worlds were made And since eternal beauty asks for form Even here where all is made of being's dust, Our hearts are captured by ensnaring shapes, our very senses blindly seek for Bliss. Our error crucifies Reality To force its birth and divine body here, Compelling, incarnate in a human form And breathing in limbs that one can touch and clasp, Its knowledge to rescue ancient ignorance, its saviour light the inconscient universe. And when that greater Self comes sea-like down To fill this image of our transience, All shall be captured by delight, transformed: In waves of undreamed ecstasy shall roll Our mind and life and sense and laugh in a light Other than this hard limited human day..."
