Humanity is One

A precondition for the superman to be embodied on this earth is the realization of the oneness of humanity, which does not mean its uniformization but a sharing of its highest values in a common experience, making the acquisition of a superior consciousness possible. “All mankind is one in its nature, physical, vital, emotional, mental, and ever has been in spite of all differences of intellectual development … and the whole race has, as the human totality, one destiny which it seeks and increasingly approaches in the cycles of progression and retrogression it describes through the countless millenniums of its history.” 946 Seen in this light, the current globalization with its inevitable confusion is the sure sign of the transition to a new global era, and many of the allegedly negative aspects of the present world can be seen as positive indications of the extremely intricate changes such a momentous process requires.

The present world is no longer a conglomerate of separate worlds or cultures on one planet, often unaware of each other’s existence. “The whole world is now under one law”, wrote Sri Aurobindo already during the First World War. And after the Second World War he wrote: “Mankind has a habit of surviving the worst catastrophes created by its own errors or by the violent turns of Nature and it must be so if there is any meaning in its existence, if its long history and continuous survival is not the accident of a fortuitously self-organizing Chance, which it must be in a purely materialistic view of the nature of the world. If man is intended to survive and carry forward the evolution of which he is at present the head and, to some extent, a half-conscious leader of its march, he must come out of his present chaotic international life and arrive at a beginning of organized united action; some kind of World-State, unitary or federal, or a confederacy or a coalition he must arrive at in the end; no smaller or looser expedient would adequately serve the purpose.” 947
