sri aurobindo’s descent into death 185The hereditary moulds, the stamps of raceAre upheld to sight, the old imprints effaced.In a downpour of supernal light it readsThe black Inconscient’s enigmatic script –Recorded in a hundred shadowy screedsAn inert world’s obscure enormous drift ...There slept the tables of the Ignorance,There the dumb dragon edicts of her sway,The scriptures of Necessity and Chance. ...In Savitri we find Sri Aurobindo again confronting “theblack inertia of our base” and seeking for ‘the secret key ofNature’s change:”The ordeal he suffered of evil’s absolute reign ...Incapable of motion or of force,In Matter’s blank denial goaled and blind,Pinned to the black inertia of our baseHe treasured between his hands his flickering soul ...Into the abysmal secrecy he cameWhere darkness peers from her mattress, grey and nude,And stood on the last locked subconscient’s floorWhere Being slept unconscious of its thoughtsAnd built the world not knowing what it built. ...He saw the secret key of Nature’s change.Then ...Torn were the formats of the primal NightAnd shattered the stereotypes of the Ignorance ...He imposed upon dark atom and dumb massThe diamond script of the Imperishable ...Matter and Spirit mingled and were one. 22As the Mother said: “All goes well as long as there isnot the will of transformation. It is the protest against thewill of transformation. ... It is the introduction of somethingtotally new into Matter, and therefore the body protests ...22 Sri Aurobindo: Savitri, pp. 230-32, passim.
186 eleven talksThere is a whole part of Nature which is collaborating, butnot in this. Distinctly, clearly, it wells up from the subconscientand the inconscient. ... It’s something that wells upfrom below ... All the time it comes up from below.” 23 Thiswas the reason why Sri Aurobindo had to descend intodeath. That he was successful, that he found the key to theimpossible and cured the source of darkness at the bottomof things, we know from the fact that hardly six years laterthe Supermind manifested in the Earth atmosphere, and anew world was born.TriumphThere is no known person who at the time of Sri Aurobindo’spassing had the slightest inkling of what was happening.“You wouldn’t understand,” he had said. We haveseen how, during that extraordinary episode, the behaviourof Sri Aurobindo and the Mother also was time and againmisinterpreted in a too human way – misinter pretationswhich, written down by the eye-witnesses, would becomepart of the standard story built around the event. If we knowa little better now, if we have at least some ground for a moremeaningful interpretation, it is because the Mother in lateryears has reminisced about those days on several occasions.The result of the lack of understanding was, in many,doubt and desperation. What use was it to continue dedicatingone’s life to a supramental transformation and theconquest of death when the Guru, or Master, or Avatar andbringer of the new vision had succumbed himself to death?Therefore the Mother gave the following message on the14th of December: “To grieve is an insult to Sri Aurobindo,who is here with us, conscious and alive.”At least there had been signs that Sri Aurobindo hadnot left in the ordinary way. Nirodbaran wrote in his Twelve23 Mother’s Agenda, 15 July 1961.
