\nas Sri Aurobindo<\/span> puts it − and the transforming
\nevolution of the world has taken a hastened and intensified movement.  <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>It is true that \u201cwe\u201d are passing through a difficult
\nperiod (\u201cwe\u201d means the world) but those who remain steady will get out of much stronger <\/i>than before. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>We are definitely not living at a
\ntime when men have been left to their own means. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>The Divine has sent down His
\nconsciousness to enlighten them. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>All who are able to do so, should
\nprofit by this. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Truth will conquer in spite of the
\nturmoil. <\/span><\/p>\n

\nthe seed of the Divine order. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Inwardly things seem to be improving; outwardly
\na sort of disintegration seems to be at the door. Where do we stand? <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

In front of a
\nbeautiful realisation<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Every day things seem to become
\nworse. In truth we feel more and more disgusted with the old rotting world, and
\nare more and more convinced of the necessity of founding, somewhere out of the
\nwell-trodden tracks, a new centre of life in which a new and truer light can be
\nmanifested, a new world no  <\/span><\/p>\n

more based on
\nselfish competitions and egoistic strife but on general and eager endeavours<\/span> to promote the welfare, knowledge and progress
\nof all − a society based on spiritual aspiration instead of lust for
\nmoney and material power. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>What I see is the world of tomorrow,
\nbut the world of yesterday is still alive and will still live for some time.
\nLet the old arrangements go on so long as they are alive. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Upon earth, the changes are slow to
\ncome. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Do not worry − and keep hope
\nfor the future. <\/span><\/p>\n

\nsure − but the way and the time are uncertain. <\/span><\/p>\n

\nLight is there.  <\/span><\/p>\n

\nconsciousness and the shadows of Ignorance must be dissolved in all. <\/span><\/p>\n

\nevery part of the being, the darkness of the ignorance must be replaced by the
\nDivine\u2019s knowledge. <\/span><\/p>\n

\neverywhere. And the world is so small. <\/span><\/p>\n

\nthey seek knowledge, forsake the Light where they are − only to enter into
\nwhat is for them a new darkness. <\/span><\/p>\n
