But Falsehood, especially its pernicious emanation, "the Lord of the Nations", and Death - which is as stark as ever and as apparently immitigable - have so far defied re-conversion into their native splendour of Truth and Life. And not until these two Asuras too -... stand an Indian lady with a welcoming leaf of palm and a French lady with an auspicious olive branch. This amity between the Orient and the Occident augurs well for an enduring peace and concord among nations.

The red and the white lotuses represent the twin spiritual C... writes in the August 1954 Bulletin: From one end I would say: "Lord, to be truly near Thee, to be truly worthy of Thee, one must drink to the dregs the cup of humiliation and yet not feel humiliated. The contempt of man makes one truly free and ready to belong to Thee alone." And from the other end I would say: "Lord, to be truly near Thee, to be truly worthy of Thee, one must be lifted ...
... outer life of the Ashram was not seriously affected by the constraints and anxieties of the War. The Yoga was in its dynamic stage of giving a relentless fight to the Asura, the Lord of Falsehood, the Lord of the Nations! But since all life was Yoga, while other activities went on as before, Hitler's War too was taken in the yogic stride. When the Mother had a few moments to spare after the evening's...

... chicanery and militarist ambitions - burst in the form of the global War. The recovery, the healing, Page 120 the permanent cure would be a long process, for the Lord of Falsehood or the Lord of the Nations would not easily yield ground or suffer obscuration. Human effort would be necessary on an unprecedented scale, but Grace would be needed too. Tapahprabhāvāddevaprasādācca !... dogs of global war have been unleashed in Europe. and on 4 August, these words are wrung from her heart: O Lord, O eternal Master! Men, driven by the conflict of forces, are performing a sublime sacrifice, they are offering their lives in a bloodstained holocaust. ... O Lord, O eternal Master, grant that all this may not be in vain, grant that the inexhaustible torrents of Thy divine... the earth amongst our ignorant and sorrowful human brothers". On 6 August again: "O Lord, we know that it is an hour of great gravity for the earth." And two days later: Monstrous forces have swooped down upon the earth like a hurricane, forces dark and violent and powerful and blind. Give us strength, O Lord, to illumine them. Thy splendour must break out everywhere in them and transfigure ...
... a being, a goddess, ‘just like Shiva is a god’, called Bharat Mata, Mother India. The visible land mass is the material body of this very real being, venerated as the soul of the nation. In the same way other nations too have at their centre a living Being always striving for their integrality, their natural completeness and perfection; it is this Being that inspires the ‘cells’ of its body, i.e... Stalins, and even after Hitler’s and Stalin’s death the forces who had used them would choose others as their instruments. ‘To them, it is as if you change your shirt,’ the Mother said. The Lord of the Nations did everything possible to redeem his threatening promise to her. In June 1950 Sri Aurobindo therefore wrote about the Korean War to K.D. Sethna, chief editor of Mother India, the periodical... ‘a postscript chapter 93 to it in which he applauded the foundation of the United Nations, although he was very much conscious of the shortcomings of the organization just like he had been of those of its predecessor, the League of Nations. ‘The League of Nations disappeared but was replaced by the United Nations Organisation which now stands in the forefront of the world and struggles towards some ...
... endeavour. As Sri Aurobindo and the Mother have stated explicitly, the rather weak personality of Adolf Hitler got its strength and inspiration from an asuric power, the Lord of Falsehood who calls himself Lord of the Nations. It was at the inspiration of this occult personality that the Second World War took place, to counteract the avataric Work that would lead to the appearance of a divinized... Sri Aurobindo was invited to address the nation in a radio broadcast, which he read from his room. On that occasion he talked about his “five dreams,” these dreams being five prominent tasks he had set himself to be accomplished through his avataric work. The five dreams were: the freedom of India; the awakening of Asia; the formation of conglomerates of nations leading up to a worldwide community; world... down. India and China, in 1947 part of the third world, are now rivals of the rich nations in the international market and have to be taken into account politically. Conglomerates of nations are now in place, mostly constituted along geographical lines. The European Union, where at the time of writing 27 nations are learning to live together and cooperate, stands out as an example. Other conglomerates ...
... the triumph of the Lord of Death - must depend upon our choice, whether as individuals, nations or continents. Was 1967 to be the year of the Grace of God, or the year of humanity's doom? The descent into the Abyss was a path clearly macadamised by the alliance between ruthless technological power and rabid national consciousness engineered by the Lord of the Nations, the Lord of Falsehood. The nuclear... what a tremendous gain, for all bondage to external things was gone! And the body had the feeling of living "only because the supreme Lord wants it to live". What this meant was that the Lord was master of the body, and the body saw, heard and did what the Lord wanted it to do. Accordingly, sometimes the Mother's vision was more precise than ever before, and she was able to have direct perception... complications. She realised that, if everything was the result of a choice, it was also "the Lord's choice, but in us, not [up] there... here. And we do not know, it is quite within the heart of ourselves." It all came to this, then: the individualised egoistic functioning was a myth, for the Lord was in everything and everybody, and He made the choice; but unaware of this reality, people had ...
... And this, of course, is why their conversion is crucial for the destiny of the world. Mirra’s encounter with a third emanation – an emanation of the Asura of Falsehood, who calls himself ‘Lord of the Nations’ – will take up part of the following chapter. Mirra Morisset’s connection with the Cosmic Movement had lasted five years, for her a period of enormous progress and change.

In the history of a nation such opportunities do not come often. The Grace presents itself at rare moments, after centuries of preparation of that nation. If it is accepted, the nation will survive and get a new birth in the Divine's consciousness. But if it is rejected the Grace will withdraw and then the nation will suffer terribly, calamity will overtake it. "'Only ...
... followed almost step by step in Nirodbaran’s Correspondence with Sri Aurobindo . Hidden behind Nazism and causing its success was the action of the Asura of Falsehood who calls himself “the Lord of the Nations” 83 : In 1938, when the descent of the Supermind seemed imminent, Sri Aurobindo was directly attacked and broke his thigh.

It is because they have never quite lost hold of this secret, never disowned it in impatience for a lesser victory, that the older Asiatic nations have survived so persistently and can now, as if immortal, raise their faces towards a new dawn; for they have fallen asleep, but they have not perished.” 65 This was written in 1915.

... Letter. 1920s . The circumstances referred to in this letter suggest that it was written during the early 1920s, when Sri Aurobindo was partly retired. The reference to Le seigneur des nations ("The Lord of the Nations"), a book by Paul Richard, suggests that Richard was the intended recipient. Sri Aurobindo's reply was meant to be sent over the signature of a secretary. This explains his use of the... the mandatory test in horse-riding. According to his own retrospective account, he had developed a distaste for Civil Service work and was delighted to be rejected on these trivial grounds. To Lord Kimberley. [1] 21 November 1892 .
