The only guide to Dharma is Rta. The only means to identify Rta is to be rooted in the Sat: the Purusha, that which is without change, without forms, without names and without disturbances of any kind.
All action and reaction has to be offered as victuals into the greater Yajña.

Many devotees are ecstatically posting Sri Aurobindo's pen portraits of Four Powers coinciding with Durga Puja/Navaratri. But the most appropriate picture of The Mother is expressed in Radha's Prayer. No wonder Sri Aurobindo saw her as embodiment of Surrender when they met first.

In another post waiting for moderation I drew a distinction in science between explaining what something does, i.e, how it works, and why something exists. I said that modern science left out the why question. What do others think of this? Some say science should not address why. My mentor, Robert Rosen, says complexity, life, and consciousness is all about why questions, so science is crippled without it. Thinking on this recently I'd say that the mechanistic world is 99% how things work. How explanations are sufficient with notable exceptions at the scale edges of material world (quantum, cosmological). But with life it is 99% why. The material is important but not what makes living systems interesting. Adding "why" back into scientific thinking (I claim it was present in Vedic thought prior to 1000BC and those traditions carrying it forward), to me, is essential to deal with complex, living, and cognitive systems.
In developing an approach, called R-theory, of course I am called to explain it and defend it against legitimate challenges. But one of the questions that comes up is to say, for example, what consciousness, or life "IS". Thinking on this I replied that science has never addressed what something IS. Only how it works (in the modernist science) and a little of why in some fields that can't avoid it. I mean "why" in the sense of function - "to what end?" Not why reduced to how. So, why is there a heart? It is easiest to state in terms of purpose, but not implying a particular Being's purpose. Non-anthropomorphic purpose as in what were the strategic and selective advantages that evolution of the heart addressed? We say, "to pump blood" as if a maker had this in mind. But the maker is the evolutionary organism. "To pump blood" is correct, but we are confused about the maker. Some will generalize it to the entire universe or God, which is fine. But for technical explanations we need to trace the steps in the process. We have to discuss strategic matters at a level between God and reduced matter.
For that we need to bring the higher causes of end-directedness based on exemplars and formal boundaries governing dynamics back into science. They are already in there, of course, because they are part of the natural phenomena we are trying to describe, but by not recognizing these parsimonious and orthogonal types of explanation or cause we conflate them into dynamics and make a mess. Of course I have my own solution now, and it will be a lifetime of work to develop and explain it. But I wanted to pose these foundational issues because without having all four causal types included in a scientific framework, I can only conclude that no solution is possible. Your thoughts?
