Re: Sanatana Dharma XXVI—the Four luminous Powers and the Story of Creation

Well, let me still get back to Jung not finding much in Sri Aurobindo’s books which were presented to him by Jayantilal. It could have very well been due to young Jayantilal’s over-enthusiasm when he visited Ceylon (Sri Lanka now) and met Jung. But it could not have been without the Mother and/or Sri Aurobindo’s concurrence in presenting the books to him, as any way he was going to Ceylon in connection with some work. Remember sadhaks in those days—70 years ago—would not go even to the Lake 10 km away from the Ashram without the Permission!
From an academic point of view therefore it is a problem for me as to what is it that Jung was looking for in his professional pursuit and for which conceptual framework was not available for him in the works of Sri Aurobindo?
Incidentally, can we say that had he had at his hand The Lives of Sri Aurobindo he would have appreciated better the work of Sri Aurobindo and applied his ideas in his occupation? I don’t know. But I think for the classical in the sense of well-grounded and even intuitive-visionary mature mind as that of Jung’s it would have appealed at all.
