There is a<br \/>\ncertain continuity in it between dying to your old self, your low exterior<br \/>\nnature and starting quite anew. In the experience of resurrection the movement<br \/>\nof discarding the old being is closely connected with that of the rising up<br \/>\nfrom it of the new consciousness and the new strength, so that from what is<br \/>\nthrown off the best can unite in a new creation with what has succeeded. The<br \/>\ntrue significance of resurrection is that the Divine Consciousness awakes from<br \/>\nthe unconsciousness into which it has gone down and lost itself, the Divine<br \/>\nConsciousness becomes once more aware of itself in spite of its descent into<br \/>\nthe world of death, night and obscurity. That world of obscurity is darker even<br \/>\nthan our physical night: if you came up after plunging into it you would<br \/>\nactually find the most impenetrable night clear, just as returning from the<br \/>\ntrue Light of the Divine Consciousness, the Supramental Light without<br \/>\nobscurity, you would find the physical sun black. But even in the depths of<br \/>\nthat supreme darkness the supreme Light lies hidden. Let that Light and that<br \/>\nConsciousness awaken in you, let there be the great Resurrection.<span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" align=\"center\" style='margin:0;text-align:center;line-height:150%'>\n<span style='font-family:\"Times New Roman\"'>Page \u2013 147<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" align=\"center\" style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:\"Courier New\";color:blue'><\/p>\n<p>\t<\/font> <\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" align=\"right\" style=\"line-height: 150%;margin: 0\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Resurrection &nbsp; &nbsp; Resurrection means, for us, the falling off of the old consciousness; but it is not only a rebirth, a sudden change which&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[115],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4053","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-03-questions-and-answers-volume-03","wpcat-115-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4053","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4053"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4053\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4053"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4053"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4053"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
