The Will To Mastery Over Physical Nature from Sri Aurobindo Studies 

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.
