The Vedic Altar Updated : An Essay in Twelve Parts

The objective of the 9th Avatars descent was to reverse the direction spirituality had taken with its almost exclusive emphasis on an otherworldly realisation, leaving the Earth to her own devices; and to establish a life divine on this very planet, to bring heaven upon Earth, as the Scriptures state.How can this best be achieved, is the question the sincere seeker must ask.Yogic realisations of the old schools, even if they could be extended beyond the single realiser to many others, would still not have the power to bring about any universal transformation, the signature of the Aquarian Age. Sri Aurobindo made this clear: it is not merely the goal of his mission that is different from the old Yogas: it is the process as wellThis means that the supramental Truth-Consciousness must arrange its manifestation in such a manner that in the becoming of its being, or its innermost essence, that divine life is manifested for all to see on Earth there has to be a revelation with great precision in keeping with the character of Supermind, of exactly how the transformation can be accomplished.That revelation is the Mothers chamber. It is the seed of all that is to follow.(Part 11, page 87)
