All of us have the Divine seed in us.

It is a matter of time(days, months, years or lifetimes) that it sprouts and reaches the ultimate goal, ie, meeting the Divine or rather as in Integral Yoga, being one with the 'One'.
And I am sure each one of us will be having that yearning to reach that higher calling.

I am really grateful to @NAN_DINI_ Ma’am, for allowing me to post her incisive, judiciously worded, extremely well-written blog on #TheKashmirFiles, a movie by @vivekagnihotri which has now caught the attention of India & the World, & given us some serious food for thought.

My heartfelt gratitude to Vivek Sir, Anupam Sir and the entire team too. @NAN_DINI_ Ma'am’s blogs (nandinibahri-dhanda.blogspot.com) are a written and visual treat in themselves, crisp, razor-sharp, well-written and always thought-provoking. The blogs are an art-form in itself.

This issue was so emotive & currently in our collective discussion, that I took her permission to post the blog in tweet-form.
If the plight of our Kashmiri brethren is not recognized now, in form of this brilliant movie #TheKashmirFiles, probably it never will. @NAN_DINI_
NO attempt at constructing a biography of #SriAurobindo can be free from a powerful inhibition exercised by the Master’s caution that nobody could write about his life because it had not been on the surface for men to see.

Notwithstanding this caveat, numerous biographies have been written and the earliest one in English was published, obviously without his knowledge, in the year 1911, only a year after he came over to Pondicherry.(1)

“All would change if man could once consent to be spiritualised; but his nature mental and vital and physical is rebellious to the higher law. He loves his imperfections.”
And also, “the greatest force is born out of the greatest difficulty.”

The whole root of difference between Indian and European culture springs from the spiritual aim of Indian civilisation.

It is the turn which this aim imposes on all the rich and luxuriant variety of its forms and rhythms that gives to it its unique character. For even what it has in common with other cultures gets from that turn a stamp of striking originality and solitary greatness.

A spiritual aspiration was the governing force of this culture, its core of thought, its ruling passion.
