knowledge of which all of the 12,000 verse of Sri Aurobindo’s “Savitri” are continually suffused! The significance of Sri Aurobindo’s incarnation is ahead of us all. He is waiting for us. He is the builder of the Way. To approach Him where He stands, to open to Him, one must first have the courage to simply absorb one basic fact: “Without Him I exist not, without me He is Unmanifest”, said the Mother. From that moment, unprecedented in the whole of the earth’s history, on March 29, 1914, when the Mother ascended the stairs towards Him who was standing ready for Her, the Evolution has entered a new phase. The Two Who are One have incarnated, in Matter, for the Work. They, who together are the One consciousness that has founded and supported the entire adventure of mankind, have stepped into Matter, have assumed the human condition entirely, and called upon the Supreme to open the passage to the next step of the world’s becoming. No more religions, but the Truth of the Divine integrally manifest. No more opposites, no more contradictions, but a progress from harmony to greater harmony. No more separation, but the emergence of a being who, with each one, embraces all truly and unreservedly, for it is one with the Source of all, unalterably. No more death, but the permeation through and through of all levels of being by the unbroken flow of conscious Existence. Together They have raised the entirety of the manifestation in one call of utter surrender and brought down the self-revealing Answer that validates the struggle of the ages. It is no popular magic They have done, and earth today is perhaps more riddled with contradictions and seething with more unbearable pressures than it has ever been since it burst forth from its origins: for the travails are decisive, there will be no other trial, the times have come for the new birth. But all those who thirst, who are inhabited by a living need, of Sense, of Reality, of Love, are eventually touched by Their presence and Action and become aware of Their guidance, Their enveloping security in the midst of this universal collapse. Sri Aurobindo and the Mother are not the last known greatest authentic gurus. They are not this age’ Avatars at whose feet we can rest for the next hundred lives. They are the living Guides to the Future; they are the Usherers of the world that seeks its birth. Once we choose to walk forward, They are there. They give us the energy we need, They nurture and sustain the true flame in us and grow it into a being, They remind us at every moment that, no matter how excellent our intentions, how sincere our efforts, nothing will do but an integral progress and change. They carry to the light of the true Power all our parts, ceaselessly; for, until we offer ourselves integrally to the Change, we are bound to continue creating havoc
