This 'glorious liberty' comes with what he calls the 'redemption of the body... was actually initiated in the birth, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus, and this has released a power in the world by which humanity as a whole is destined to be transformed and become a new creation.

... Aurobindo wrote that the chaos and the calamities were perhaps the pangs of the birth of a new creation. How long are these pangs going to continue—in the Ashram, in India and eventually in the world? It will continue until the world is ready and willing to receive the new creation; the consciousness of this new creation is already at work upon earth since the beginning of this year. If, instead of resisting... division, unconsciousness, ignorance, inertia and falsehood. We are endeavouring to establish upon earth union, knowledge, consciousness, Truth, and we fight whatever opposes the advent of this new creation of Light, Peace, Truth and Love. 16 February 1965 Mother, I am told that the recent violence against the Ashram was the result of Mahakali's wrath and you are supposed to have said... at my disposal. In short I might say that "Réalisation Suprême" for the individual means identification with the Divine and for the collectivity upon earth, the advent of the Supramental, the New Creation. Do not treat this as a dogma, but only as an explanation. And "Réalisateur" is the Supreme Power of realisation, the doer and the act. Blessings. 20 December 1965 (While translating ...
... pioneers, or executors and realisers of the invincible Will of the Time-Spirit. The working of the Will of the Time-Spirit progresses through a constant tug and tension between the forces of new creation and the forces of conservation, and both are indispensable for the shaping of the future. The forces of conservation make for continuity with the past and the trans- mission of all that was essential... the future. But the whole movement is a very complex process, baffling to the rational mind of man. The prophet or pioneer is one who incarnates both the forces of conservation and the forces of new creation. He is the child of the past and the parent of the future 23 . It is not always that he brings some- thing brand-new to the nation or the country he represents. 23. "...Pioneers always... after it has had its natural decay and death. What is distinctive in the mission of a prophet or a forerunner is a summing up in himself of both the fertile forces of conservation and those of new creation in a harmonious blend, and marshalled in a dynamic, revolutionary drive, powerful enough to cleave through the barrage of opposing forces, towards the building of the future.

One may say that the aesthetic sense of the onlooker requires to be trained to appreciate this new creation. Now, no one ever disputed, in the East at least, the right of the artist to create forms that have nothing in common with natural forms. But when it is asserted that the artist should not imitate Nature and when the artist begins to distort the forms... forms of Nature then, the memory of the natural form constantly reminds the onlooker of the correspondence and it is therefore difficult to feel it as a new creation. What is needed is to " transform", not merely to take liberty with and "distort" the forms of Nature in art. Otherwise, as Dr. Anand Coomar Swamy says, the forms will only be " denatured "—contrary to Nature. This creates the impression ...

... The Renaissance in India - 3 To attempt to penetrate through the indeterminate confusion of present tendencies and first efforts in order to foresee the exact forms the new creation will take, would be an effort of very doubtful utility. One might as well try to forecast a harmony from the sounds made by the tuning of the instrument. In one direction or another we may just... life labours to assimilate. Philosophy in India has been the intellectual canaliser of spiritual knowledge and experience, but the philosophical intellect has not as yet decidedly begun the work of new creation; it has been rather busy with the restatement of its past gains than with any new statement which would visibly and rapidly enlarge the boundaries of its thought and aspiration.

... ion, reduced to a small number, becomes a thing much more precious and much more powerful for the realisation. It is as though a choice has been made for those who will be the pioneers of the new creation. And all these ideas of "spreading", of "preparing", or of "churning Matter"... are a childishness. It is human restlessness. The vision was of a beauty so majestic, so calm, so smiling. Oh!... And perfectly satisfied with its being humanity, because it lives harmoniously. And it is perhaps also like a promise of what almost the whole of humanity will become under the influence of the new creation. It appeared to me that it was what the supramental consciousness could make of humanity. There was even a comparison with what humanity has made of the animal species. It is extremely mixed, naturally... No, it may be diffused materially, because the individuals are not necessarily collected together. But they are few in number. This idea of a pressing need to "prepare" humanity for the new creation, this impatience has disappeared. It must first of all be realised in some. Quite so.

We remember her words that even those who think they are acting against the... proved false for unexplainable reasons.

It is by this presence that these countless worlds are to participate gloriously in the process of the new creation for which Savitri is about to begin her work.

In that sense the story is... firm-willed and adheres to the choice of her soul and her spirit.

Even the bright illusion that could have fallen over her sight and distracted her from her single purpose has now been dispelled... the ancient scene of the hermitage and the dwellers gathering at the moment of concern and at the moment of jubilation? Possibly the sages and the Rishis would have told us about the nature of the new creation and about the divine life received as a boon by Savitri from the Supreme, the "life that has opened with divinity." Similarly, the Book of Death, which presently has only Canto Three, entitled ...

For the true change of consciousness , the Mother says, is one that will change the physical conditions of the world and make of it a new creation. The Conditions of the Discovery If we wish "to change the physical conditions of the world," that is, the so-called natural laws that rule our life and the world, and if we want to implement... deepest Depths. Therefore it can change everything. As the Mother has said, "The true change of consciousness is one that will change the physical conditions in the world and make it into a entirely new creation." Let us say immediately that the supramental power does not work either through miracles or violence – the very notion of miracle is absurd, as Sri Aurobindo has often repeated: There is really... there! We won't really be able to say what it is until it has been done. It is an adventure into the unknown , as Sri Aurobindo would emphasize. We are truly like the old primates before this new creation. From here on, therefore, we can only indicate some broad lines of development, or of difficulty, without being sure whether or not they really belong to the path. The experience is in process. ...

So the symbolism is that Savitri is bom as the wife of Satyavan and this union of Spirit and Matter is necessary for the New Creation.

... On the side of consciousness the new manifestation, the human, could be accounted for by an upsurge of concealed Consciousness from the involution in universal Nature.

... when he Page 196 sent me in response the pen he had himself been working with. How happy I was, holding it in my fingers, the reddish-brown body of it a hint of some new earth-creation and the sharply pointed gold nib the spring-head of a divine outflow from the transformed terrestriality. All that I wrote with it carried for me the sense of the Master's hand subtly one... God-life's zest. Blind hungers alone draw down transcendent things... It is such hungers — the vital impulses in a super-state, as it were — that are responsible for all massive creations giving from to the Spirit's vision: a Pyramid of Gaza, a Borobudur temple-complex, a King Lear, a Ninth Symphony, a Sistine-Chapel-ceiling. And the supramentalisation of matter depends essentially... gift from her is the typewriter I am using. The letters to her typed on my old machine taxed her eyes. She told me: "Your lines are wavy — they are like little curving snakes. I shall give you a new typewriter. I have ordered four Remingtons." An object that had immense worth for me arrived from Sri Aurobindo one day in the 'thirties. Whenever I had anything I valued, I had the impulse ...
... poetry, how modern trends in poetry indicate the possibility in Eastern languages of a truer understanding of the vedic idea and practice of mantra and even of the discovery of a new poetic creation that would embody a new mantric poetry.

It is only by listening to its original sound and by seizing the original sense and by seeing the original form of its beauty in the sheer joy of creation, that something of its greatness may be received in the new expression.

If this was to come about, it would perhaps be done "through a large number of new creations... intermediaries". The Mother could conceive of some spiritual power, the power of the inner being, absorbing the energy for renewal from the atmosphere, thereby not requiring food any more. Yet... Early in March when the Mother was commenting upon two of Sri Aurobindo's Aphorisms, she recalled what an occultist had told her once: there had been six universal creations and dissolutions (pralayas) before, but the present creation - the seventh - would be able to "transform itself without being reabsorbed". People suffered because they felt cabined in Time, but if they had the sense of Eternity... everywhere.... She is an experience: experience of her is peace, beauty, silence, love. The New Age will be the age of Love, but we have not yet learnt how to participate in it or how to express it or how to communicate it.... She is the past, present, the future, the Ashram and ourselves. 1 II The New Year message for 1966 - "Let us serve the Truth" - was almost complementary to the previous ...

Thinkers, historians, sociologists... instrument not merely of subconscient Nature, not merely of an instinctive urge that moves the mass, but more directly of the Spirit of whom that Nature is itself the instrument and the matrix of his creations.

And here the first essential sign must be the growth of the subjective idea of life,—the idea of the soul, the inner being, its powers, its possibilities, its growth, its expression and the creation of a true, beautiful and helpful environment for it as the one thing of first and last importance. The signals must be there that are precursors of a subjective age in humanity's thought and social ...
... Over and above opening up such movements, Sri Aurobindo stands as a creator of new Vedic and Upanishadic age of poetry."

After soaring into regions above Mind, into the Heavens of the Ideal and Illumined Mind he passes beyond the borders of manifested creation to the centre from which creation proceeds.

... search for a mere new poetic form for an epic was perhaps bound to fail because though form is important, and very important, in literary expression, yet it is the spirit which the form embodies that really gives life to the form.

... slowly wending its way to the surface. Nature slowly cleanses the layers and lets the centuries flow on while waiting for the next emergence: the meeting of mental “heaven" and earth in a new hominid creation. This cleansing of the intermediary layers seems to be the process of every transition. Each time, the ray grows and reaches a wider periphery, a darker depth, as if each time the conquered... obscure fragment—what was, is. A new time is born. A new gaze is born. And death will be conquered, because death was only self-forgetfulness. When the body remembers itself wholly, when it wholly becomes what it is, enlightened and clear, when the two have embraced down to the most obscure cell, we shall become completely immortal in a new body and on a new earth. "O men,” said the Vedic Rishis... diamond mines, with nose upturned to heaven!” 4 He himself looked down to the earth—like Mirra. He even quoted Peter the Apostle: "A new earth where Truth shall live." 100 And, like Sri Aurobindo, he proclaimed a new, superhuman humanity, endowed with a new body that he said would be made of a substance "denser than Matter.” We are not very sure what he meant by that, for the only “denser Matter” ...
... in the terrestrial creation, it must be a new and independent manifestation; just as life and mind have manifested in Matter, so supermind must manifest there and the secret Conscious-Energy must create the necessary Page 863 patterns for this new grade of its potencies. But there is no sign of any such intention in the operations of Nature. But if a superior creation is intended, then... On the side of consciousness the new manifestation, the human, could be accounted for by an upsurge of concealed Consciousness from the involution in universal Nature. But in that case it must have had some material form already existent for its vehicle of emergence, the vehicle being adapted by the force of the emergence itself to the needs of a new inner creation; or else a rapid divergence from... there are only spiritualised mental beings who are seeking to escape out of the terrestrial creation. If by any occult law of Nature such a human development of the supramental being is intended, it could only be by a few in humanity detaching themselves from the race so as to become a first foundation for this new pattern of being. There is no reason to suppose that the whole race could develop this ...
