The human race always progresses most when most it asserts its importance to Nature, its freedom & its universality. Sri Aurobindo (Thoughts and Aphorisms 202) |
The Supreme has a Sense of HumourSomeone has asked me, “How is it possible for God to reveal Himself to an unbeliever?” That’s very funny; because if it pleases God to reveal Himself to an unbeliever, I don’t see what would prevent Him from doing so! On the contrary, He has a sense of humour – Sri Aurobindo has told us many times already that the Supreme has a sense of humour, that we are the ones who want to make Him into a grave and invariably serious character – and He may find it very amusing to come and embrace an unbeliever. Someone who has only the day before declared, “God does not exist. I do not believe in Him. All that is folly and ignorance”, He gathers him into His arms, He presses Him to his Heart – and He laughs in his face. Everything is possible, even things which to our small and limited intelligence seem absurd. The Mother The Great Adventure – A Diary for All Times. Page 352. |
