“This idea of objective truth is impossible. There is no such thing. Memory is a construction, it’s a fiction” The best books on Family History recommended by Thea Lenarduzzi fivebooks.com/best-books/fam
The last two chapters of The Life Divine deal with social & political thought which were written by Sri Aurobindo a decade before his passing away. The ideals delineated are far away from our present conditions but not stranger to democratic aspirations and Enlightenment values.
Political issues can't be resolved by politics. That's the first lesson Sri Aurobindo teaches. Human propensity for reforms has some potential but creates more complications. #SriAurobindo didn't prescribe straight forward solutions but advised relying upon the intuitive faculty.
Sri Aurobindo examines English poetry from the historical perspective but never subjects Western philosophy to a similar treatment. That tells the worth he attaches to the latter. Additionally, the epochal value of The Life Divine for ontology can be gauged from this circumstance.
People's fascination with the old and the ancient is a reflection of inertia and insecurity. Sri Aurobindo has produced a new philosophy. Accepting it and believing in it is the demand of the evolution. Unless this corrective is internalised, we can't come out of the present mess
The West has a large number of philosophers but India has only one in the modern age. He is Sri Aurobindo. His philosophy expounded in The Life Divine is unique and unprecedented. Many try to link it with old schools of Indian philosophy but the commonalities are just ephemeral.

Those who are in the thick of current affairs may not feel philosophy being of any consequence but this very outlook constitutes a well-established philosophical attitude. Thus the question is which philosophy to follow. Thankfully #SriAurobindo is the best teacher on this score.
Religion ensures regularity of practice but blunts thinking ability while philosophy encourages questions by shedding complacency. Even then the individual difference is there moulded by heredity and environment. Finally the grace is instrumental for leading one in the right path.
Art and literature provide a lot of fodder for self-esteem and emotional maturity. Good for life but an inflated ego can be a barrier for spirituality. Philosophy on the other hand builds intellectual muscle and does ethical mapping. So it's valuable as the highest faculty of man.
Those who have seen The Mother or became her devotees when she was present are surely a privileged lot although their number is dwindling day by day. Their memory of the centenary celebration of Sri Aurobindo and how energetically The Mother was involved in organising it is fresh.
Most tweets where Sri Aurobindo is mentioned are misrepresentations. Adding his name to three four others is a common misleading practice. It's strange why people choose to remain deluded instead of acquiring the right knowledge. Govt function on him with Netaji is ill-conceived.
Different schools of philosophy and religion failed to unravel the mystery of the life and the world. Science too expressed its inability to solve the same. In this scenario, Sri Aurobindo is the only source which can be relied upon. Reading him provides all the justifications.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo were not in favour of conventional behaviour. Ordinary social relations weren't of much use for them. Deviating from the beaten track therefore is a perpetual challenge for their followers. As in Gita, anapekṣhaḥ śhuchir dakṣha udāsīno gata-vyathaḥ.
#1950s:: Two things decided the level of joy and celebration when a child was born: boy or girl and complexion. Half-a-dozen children was the average; the eldest one would marry around the youngest was born. Children of relatives staying together for different reasons was common.
