TH 37: Power of the Word and the Aryan Way

Every word has some vibrations. Words like MA and OM has infinite power and comprehensive meaning. Sri Aurobindo released the power of the Word through the Arya and various other writings that are now available in the form of books such as ‘The Synthesis of Yoga’, ‘The Life Divine’, ‘The Human Cycle’ apart from his wonderful commentaries on ancient scriptures such as the Vedas, Upanishads and the Gita. The word Arya itself has profound meaning. The Aryan is one who is a warrior but a warrior who fights for Light and sublime Knowledge and Truth and Bliss. Whoever seeks to find the divine has to fight the ignorance. Such a one is an Arya and not just someone who knows the scriptures. An Arya is he who fights all the hurdles of inner and outer world to go towards his divine goal. Self conquest is the first law of his nature. The Aryan is also a farmer who tills the soil of his nature so that the divine seed sown in it may blossom. It is a beautiful and inspiring talk that invites us to the great adventure of yoga.

This talk “Shabda ki Shakti evam Arya bhava” was recorded in 2011 at the Garden House Study Circle
