Gross disobedience and deception, act of rebellion

All choice All life is Yoga. Monday, October 09, 2006 No Religion

The Mother has said that the Age of Religions is over. She and Sri Aurobindo repeatedly proclaimed that Their Teaching is not a Religion, that Their intention was never to form or propagate any religion. With reference to Auroville, She has specifically declared that “Auroville is for those who want to live a life essentially divine but who renounce all religions whether they be ancient, modern, new or future.”...

I have recently read the posting dated October 6, 2006, in Savitri Era, a Blog published by my friend Tusar N. Mohapatra, which is placed below for reference : No confusion over the identity as a religion That Savitri Era constitutes a religion was adjudicated by Justice O. Chinnappa Reddy in his famous dissenting judgemnet of 8th November, 1982 in the Auroville Case ...

After reading the posting, I felt I am back to square one. Even if JUSTICE O. CHINNAPPA REDDY has opined so, by giving such a dissenting note, it raised several questions in my mind. Should we accept finally the adjudications given by the Honorable Justice Reddy? Should we then declare that we have formed another religion, like Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, even Hinduism etc? And many other questions came to my mind, especially about the Future of the Teachings of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother. I wanted further details about the Auroville case to answer my questions. And luckily I found more details in Marketime, another blog published by Tusar...

I will try to understand and analyze the dissenting note given by the Honorable Justice Reddy, with due respects to him. But his adjudications were not the whole truth. As we know, it was a dissenting note...[Interested readers may some more relevant portions of the Judgment of the Honorable Supreme Court here.]...

So, the Truth is that the Teaching of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother is not a Religion. We, Their followers, need not rejoice and follow the Religion of Sri Aurobindo and Mother very religiously, very devoutly, and begin conflicts with other religions, and remain devoutly stationed and fixed with the new ‘creed’ for another millennium, forgetting the Aim of the Progressive Realisation of the Supramental Transformation, forgetting any real progress as visioned by Sri Aurobindo and the Mother...

To found a religion basing on the Teachings of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, or to declare Their Teachings and thought and philosophy as a religion is an act of gross disobedience and deception to Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. It is a fall, a failure and a frustration of Their Teaching. It is act of rebellion.

Founding a religion will be creating an obstruction between the seeker and the Truth that is descending. Let us understand it and stop from disobeying and deceiving Them, from stopping the Truth that is still descending for us. Let us not stop the Progress. Let us not forget the Aim, the Purpose : the Supramental Manifestation on Earth. Let us not pull back and stop the March towards the New World, towards the New Horizon.
