Notes:
- Explanation for Notes on Life and Yoga Point # 3: Sri Aurobindo's consciousness needs channels for expression on earth. Each one who comes to Him and serves Him can be such a channel to the degree of his identification with Him and rejection of his lower nature - and through these channels, His consciousness can reach in many directions and great distances.
- Why did Sri Aurobindo choose Churchill to use His force to fight the world war?
- Mind and Moral codes: Ego divide people into categories - Human consciousness has both good and bad - There is no absolute good or evil in ignorance - Human nature resides in ignorance until the transformation
- Receptivity - Opening, Faith, and Strength
- Affirmation of truth of personality - Explanation for Notes on Life and Yoga Point # 4: We must identify with Him as much as possible, merge in Him, but still a degree of difference is naturally inevitable and permissible due to the different stress of development in each person, a different manner or mode of expression of the one inner Truth Consciousness He represents. - Unity in diversity
- What is the difference between Manners, Behavior, Character, Personality, Individuality, and Human Nature? - Explanation for Notes on Life and Yoga Point # 5: I made a psychological study of myself, tracing all my traits, habits, strengths, and weaknesses to their origin in my own life, or their origination and adoption from my parents. Later I tried the experiment on my community and friends of my background. Each time I saw a trait in them, good or bad, I looked for the same one in myself and I always found it, though sometimes not on the surface but still there a little behind or inside.
