Physical Nature is non-moral in its response to the efforts of
humanity. This means that it will provide a commensurate energy response to the
effort made to utilize or harness its forces, based solely on the energy and
not on some concept of moral or ethical right or wrong. The law of Karma on the
physical plane is essentially a law of “cause and effect.” …
We can witness this process at work in the events of the last 200
years. An increasing concentration and focus on the elemental powers of
physical Nature has led to discoveries that could only seem miraculous to human
beings of earlier centuries. Today we take it for granted that we can observe
actions in distant parts of the globe through satellite, television and
internet; communicate with virtually any part of the world via wireless cell
phones; fly through the air at supersonic speeds; travel into outer space;
unlock enormous energies through splitting of the atom; harness the power of
the sun through solar energy; transplant organs from one human being to another;
and modify the very genetic structure of living beings. Each of these
developments, representative of the type of will to mastery over physical
Nature that we have seen develop during this time, has dramatically increased
the power of action and base of knowledge of humanity, but none of them has
been without their down-side consequences, some of which threaten the continued
existence of all life on the planet, such as destructive nuclear weapons;
global climate change, world-wide chemical contamination of the air, soil and
water; and unforeseen consequences of genetic tampering. Sri Aurobindo anticipated this type of much wider responsiveness of
Nature to human development of knowledge and will: Physical Nature Is Non-Moral and Non-Ethical In Its Results
from Sri Aurobindo Studies
As we have been examining physical Nature and its forces, it has
become obvious that the return or response of the energy, the essence of the
law of “cause and effect” which underlies or notion of Karma, is strictly in
line with our adherence to the principles and laws of the physical universe and
does not include any moral or ethical component. Physical Nature will put into
our hands the power to split the atom if we focus intensely enough, regardless
of whether we will use it benignly or malignantly.
We try to impugn an ethical motive in the results of physical energy,
but in the purest sense, physical energy simply does not have this impulsion.
The concept of Karma that includes a “payback” in terms of morality or ethics
is actually something that arises with the development of higher forms of
consciousness… Sri Aurobindo points out that with the entry of the life energy
into physical Nature, we begin to see the first inklings of some kind of
energetic response that begins to take into account the effect on life, with
the possibility of a response that goes beyond the strictly physical energies
to balance excesses, but even here, it is not a moral or ethical principle, but
some other life-basis that determines the actual reaction.
