The question that is raised here is: can the
sheer force of Thought reach the source of all things? It cannot, and there is
a struggle when attempt is so made. Gods oppose it. Agastya is at such a moment
and confronts in his inner experience Indra, Lord of the realm of pure
Intelligence. He is told that that Source is not to be found in Time. It does
not exist in the actualities of the present, nor in the eventualities of the
future. In this search, in this terrible struggle, Agastya should effect
perfection and should not slay his friend. Indra assures that Agastya is his
friend and brother.
Indra and Agastya together, the universal
Power and the human soul, will extend in harmony the effective inner action on
the plane of the pure Intelligence, so that it may enrich itself there and
attain beyond. For, it is precisely by the progressive surrender of the lower
being to the divine activities that the limited and egoistic consciousness of
the mortal awakens to the infinite and immortal state which is its goal.
Agastya accepts the will of the God and submits. Agastya gives up all that is
realised in him into the hands of Indra, as offerings of the sacrifice, to be
held by him in the fixed parts of Agastya's consciousness and directed in the
motional towards fresh formations.

Aurobindo is, of course, nowhere mentioned in Luders' outstanding
two-volume ... In my
own humble judgment, however, Aurobindo's Vedic studies constitute the one
single, central pillar which carries the burden of Aurobindo's creative
thought, the one stalk on which the thousand-petalled lotus of his thinking blossomed,
to adapt Aurobindo's own beautiful image. Philosophy
