The Signs And Symbols of  Eternity

Awakening to the Sunlit Spirit's luminous effulgence,
                  Realisation dawns amid Nature's manifestations:---
The evergreen tree-tops swinging in the cool -breeze,
       Spying in awe at the blossoming beauty of  newly -woken -up buds!
Spotting the radiant butterflies, in trance of  blissful silence...
Acutely aware of the reverberating 'Naad'- sounds of the thunder clouds
           which can drown the delights of chirping avians around !
Human- borders of  three-dimensional objects metamorphose,
           Expanding into the vast Ethereal Space or Infinity.....
Can anybody ever wonder how gravity defines the laws of Consciousness ?
              One moment of Eternity i am  here in the Lotus heart's mystery cave,
The other moments  of  experiential infinity  via mobile cell
       can transport your voice in to another's  heart  of  limitless space !
How can, one wonders,  the camera snaps your image within seconds ?
         Amazingly  copying the rainbow colors up in the sky!
Then why not believe in the Super-Transcendant who  creates, 
                perseveres , transforms all  varieties of  living -'species',
Until all questions stop to hear/ listen/ see/ look up:---
with wide-eyed  awe, adoration, quietly absorbing the trance of Eternal's gaze !!!

The Art and Science of Education !!!

The following blog -article is based upon the writings/ essays/ comments by The Mother ,who started the Sri Aurobindo Ashram School, way back in the 1930s:-
The Education of a child begins right from the conception of the birth, by her/his parents, and especially by the child's mother, who nurtures, nourishes, cares ,protects against all odds  of Nature. ! And ,when the mother holds the highest spiritual aspirations, to bring about the best possible circumstances for the birth of her child , to create around herself the best environment of beauty ( aesthetics) and a balanced ( ZEN?) harmony, so that the child may inherit the best possible qualities, virtues and divine blessings !!! We can infer this from the human-birth of the divine incarnations of Indian Avatars Ram and Krishn and even Ganesh !!!
 Sri Aurobindo also commented in his essays on Education: about such divine purpose of  souls who are born with a divine plan or  intention in this world:-
Every child is an Artist, a dreamer who perceives beyond human images, forms and shapes ! And we should be able to provide such tools, kits, materials for his/her imagination to create beauty and harmony out of the stuff of earth & Nature , so that the light of aesthetic delight can manifest without obscuring the human-vision!!!
Every child is a Scientist, with an insatiable  quest or  faculty of inquiry in the world of  physical matter...to know the why or how of  things in relation to human functionality....All we need to do is to provide such instruments of learning, to develop the faculties of observation, enquiry, hypothesis, experimentation, analysis, exploration of possibilities to apply the theories in practical goals of  human life with a diviner insight !!!

Every child is a ( born) Metaphysical thinker who can be led to believe in the existence of  God, a Supreme  Reality beyond the mortal birth and death in this Earth...All we need to provide is the Faith and the normal conditions ...that lead to spirit of supra-rational-enquiry , a balanced or deep sense of  righteous, moral, ethical  references and foundation, that connects our SElf, relations of life towards a gradual & deeper understanding or acceptance  of  :-   our  own higher or divine Self / Soul and the world around in which we exist, and can live with faith or belief in  higher divine goals or aims !!! 

The real or true Art of Living must include the love of  Divine Truth, Knowledge, Beauty, and Scientific temper, in a Unified , harmonious living  with  Nature  or the  Earth ...as many "Guru-guides, personal-mentors, God-preachers, Saints have set by their own examples to their  'disciples/ shishya/ followers...converting even the so-called bad-sinners, dacoits, and murderers...thus healing  with the compassionate  religious or the spiritual teachings ... according to the inner calling of  aspirants,  across the barriers of cultural differences, customs, & traditions of  family or social communities.

The Mother inspires with her simple message that :- "To Love to learn is the most precious gift that one can give to a child...to love to learn in all circumstances of life; in every situation, or moment, and always 'open' with receptivity to'divine' insights or aspirations of  our soul  !!!"
