THERE are, in the history of the earth, moments of transition — when things that have been for thousands of years must give place to things that are about to manifest. A special concentration of the world consciousness, one might almost say, an intensification of its effort, happens at such times, varying according to the kind of progress to be made, the quality of the transformation to be realised. We are precisely at such a turning of the world's history. As Nature has already created upon earth a mental being, even so, there is now a concentrated activity to bring forth in this mentality a supramental consciousness and individuality.
Certain beings who, I might say, are in the secret of the gods, have been advised of the importance of this moment in the life of the world, and they have taken birth upon earth to play their part in whatever way they can. A great luminous consciousness soars over the earth creating a kind of eddy in its atmosphere. All who are open receive a wave from this eddy, a ray from this light and seek to give a form to it, each according to his capacity.
We have here the peerless privilege of being at the very centre of the radiating light, at the source of the force of transformation.
Sri Aurobindo incarnated in a human body the supramental consciousness and has not only revealed to us the nature of the path to follow and the method of following it so as to arrive at the goal, but has also by his own personal realisation given us the example; he has provided us, so to say, the proof that the thing can be done and the time is now to do it.
