Preparing for the Miraculous

the kalki avatar 259century CE has the Great Mother say in words which echothe Vedic scriptures:It is I who am the offspring of what gave birth to me[what gave birth to her being the One];And it is I who am the Mother[the Great Mother, the one original transcendent Shakti];It is I who am the wife[Shakti to Ishwara, in human metaphorical language];It is I who am the virgin[for ever the untouchable Origin of all] ... etc.Until now, and throughout the course of the evolutionof life on Earth, the Avatars have always been of themale gender, and a female Avatar may seem rather unorthodox,especially to people familiar of old with the line ofmale Avatars. It is however obvious that one gender doesnot represent the full human constitution and condition,nor does it take into account the divine sexless Archetypewhich supports the evolution and directs it towards itsgoal. 57 The time has come to draw the full conclusions fromcertain well-known formulations by Sri Aurobindo and theMother.Sri Aurobindo wrote: “The Mother and I are one but intwo bodies.” “The Mother’s consciousness and mine are thesame, the one Divine Consciousness in two, because thatis necessary for the play. ... If anybody really feels her consciousness,he should know that I am there behind it andif he feels me it is the same with hers.” “Whatever one getsfrom the Mother, comes from myself also – there is no difference.”“The Mother and myself stand for the same Powerin two forms.” 5857 See talk 1: “Adam Kadmon and the Evolution”.58 Sri Aurobindo: On Himself, pp. 456-457, passim.
