Visions of Champaklal

Mysterious Worlds

1980-02-29

The multi-storeyed building could be taken to indicate a new creation. The fullness of it consists in both ascent to the Truth and descent with the Truth to the earth. The centre on each level is where the representative of the Divine is situated. From there one has to seek help of the highest knowledge. This knowledge always responds in a mysterious way.

Though the Truth (top floor) is free of access to all, very few wish to go there and of those who wish to go there very few are able to reach the top. The ups and downs of Sadhana are hinted at. The desert might mean the vast but bare consciousness, indicating that “Truth is like a vast, pathless land” and one can get lost in one's search for truth. The psychic (symbolised by the children) should, then, become active and lead along the path indicated by Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. One may then reach the highest consciousness—the supramental consciousness or one can get a glimpse of it.

However, “Only a little the God-light can stay”. It is very difficult to hold permanently that state of consciousness (the Mother's Temple where Sri Aurobindo presides).

In the next scene the golden building indicates something from the Supreme Divine. The path is difficult, but, with the help of total self-giving to the innocent guidance by one's soul (Rabbit) one can go along the right path and ultimately achieve the victory of spiritual forces (Peacock) and total transformation (body of white—the Mother's Light).
