As
always the ancients have made the words esoteric and difficult for us to understand
on the face of it how the gradation occurs. Here again Sri Aurobindo’s
interpretation and the words he uses are so useful in understanding the intent
that one can then match with one’s own experience and link to practical life.
The first clarity one needs to have is that any reference to ‘Happiness’ in the
spiritual context cannot be linked to the satisfaction of one’s desires…
However,
the real striking point in this portion is that every stage of happiness one
can achieve, i.e. as a Man or Angel or Gods etc. a clear statement is made that
the happiness referred to at that stage is possible to be attained by the
person who knows the secret of the Vedas and therefore the desires do not take
ownership of him (the words used by Sri Aurobindo is ‘the blight of desire not
toucheth’). This comes as a reference at every stage of progress to higher
levels of happiness till one reaches the Eternal’s level of ‘Ultimate Bliss’. (To be continued) (The writer is the Joint
