Sir Aurobindo - National Internationalism

At home with Shankara & Ramanuja
As with Spinoza, Kant, and Buber
Seventy years on earth, to 1950, heir
To Thought of East, West, 'Father Nature'
Fought for Independent India, from 'Raj'
Taught we must do spiritual evolution
Community and nation are a good start
But dissolve they must, peace past nationalism
Separation is overcome by One Identity

Sri Aurobindo could use Brahman, Lila, and Supermind as with Heraclitus' Logos, and yet see "solidarity ... and mutability" as the great future, based on individual consciousness that evolves with supramental download s

Dear Readers, poetry of Love & poetry of Politics are to be seen (as poetry) equally. If u don't fault poems about love, please avoid seeing my poems through Democrat-Republican paradigms. I am not in the USA since 2019.

I agree with the response from Joe, below, Anil. We are all one in the Spirit, but one in the physicl state we currently live in can happen only when Jesus returns, in my humble opinion. Read the story of the "Tower Of Babel" Man was stopped because the time wasn't right yet. Thanks for the post my friend. Bill

In genesis, coach Bill, read carefully as to why humans wanted that tower. Their motivation, more than timing, was the issue. We are not ready for ONE LIVE, LOVE ALL,BFOTGUVE ALL ... but it never stops PS poets, dreamers, humanitarians ...even about a freedom-childhood for billions of children today. Just thoughts ...

Answer to your question about individuals haveing angels watching over them. Bill Baker Date: 6/25/2022 2:31:00 PM Hi, Anil. The answer to your question. Matthew 18:10 Jesus speaking to His desciples, regarding the children in their midst. "See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you thet their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven." Their angels, each child or person has angels looking over them. Hope this helps my friend. Blessings, Bill

I really want this as well. But, we can't put the cart before the horse. Humanity is not ready for this. Too much greed, personal ambition, lust for power. What we will end up with, if we destroy Nationalism, is Orwell's 1984. I hear you my brother -- Oh were it presently possible!...my heart and head tell me no. In the USA we have now near one party room...and it is turning to Marxist Totalitarianism. Win at any cost. Life, other than the ruling class, means nothing to the present administration.
