Otherwise nothing could endure, nor could there be any certainty in existence. Yet if one thing is certain, it is that the sum of all this change and motion is absolutely stable, fixed and unvarying, that all this heterogeneous multitude of animate and inanimate things are fundamentally homogeneous and one. To the phenomenal world around us stability and singleness seem at first to be utterly alien nothing but passes and changes, nothing but has its counterparts, contrasts, harmonised and dissident parts and all are perpetually shifting and rearranging their relative positions and affections. The idea of transcendental Unity, Oneness, and Stability behind all the flux and variety of phenomenal life is the basal idea of the Upanishads: this is the pivot of all Indian metaphysics, the sum and goal of our spiritual experience. This universal existence, for all its multitude of objects and its diversity of forces, is one in sub stance and origin and there is an unknown quantity, X or Brahman to which it can be reduced, for from that it started and in and by that it still exists. The rooted and fundamental conception of Vedanta is that there exists somewhere, could we but find it, available to experience or self-revelation, if denied to intellectual research, a single truth comprehenshie and universal in the light of which the whole of existence would stand revealed and explained both in its nature and its end. It is so sweet and strange and sublime a miracle.įirst page, typewritten by Sri Aurobindo of the manuscript What she appears when she smiles a little,Ĭannot be spoken of, neither can the mind lay hold on it, Svalpamapyasya dharmasya triiyate mahato bhayiitĮven a little of this Law delivereth one out of great fear.
