The Supramental Transformation - Makarand Paranjape |
|
Man is a transitional being, he is not final. He is a middle- term of the evolution, not its end, crown or consummating masterpiece. |
|
Man is not final, he is a transitional being. Beyond him awaits formation the diviner race, the superman. |
|
The evolution of the earth nature is not finished because it has manifested only three powers out of the seven-fold scale of consciousness that is involved in manifested Nature. It has brought out from its apparent inconscience only the three powers of Mind and Life and Matter. |
|
Because man is a mental being, he naturally imagines that mind is the one great leader and actor and creator or the indispensable agent in the universe. But this is an error; even for knowledge, mind is not the only or the greatest possible instrument, the one aspirant and discoverer. Mind is a clumsy interlude between nature’s vast and precise sub-conscient action and the vaster infallible super-conscient action of the Godhead. |
