Love, truth, respect, guilt, compassion, and self-restraint

The Uneasy Relationship Between Power, Politics and Law

by Ashish Singh countercurrents.org/2026/10/the-un…

"The Uneasy Relationship Between Power, Politics and Law", by Ashish Singh, examines how political authority and legal institutions have shaped societies from ancient Athens to modern constitutional democracies and international institutions. Through historical examples, including the trial of Socrates, colonial rule, India’s Emergency, apartheid and international conflicts, the article explores the tension between legal validity and moral legitimacy. It examines how laws can reinforce domination but also provide instruments to challenge it. Constitutions, courts and treaties cannot guarantee justice without institutional independence, political accountability and public participation. Ultimately, the legitimacy of power depends on its willingness to accept criticism and protect the rights and dignity of those it governs.

The Bogey of Communist-Islamist Machinations

by M A Baby countercurrents.org/2026/10/the-bo…

In "The Bogey of Communist-Islamist Machinations", M.A. Baby challenges the RSS narrative that communists obstructed the Ram Mandir movement through an alleged alliance with Islamists. He argues that communists opposed the demolition of the Babri Masjid while consistently resisting religious fundamentalism, including Muslim fundamentalism and Khalistani separatism. The article examines the role of communists and the RSS in the freedom struggle, Savarkar’s views on the two-nation theory, and the ideological parallels between Savarkar and Jinnah. Baby concludes that majoritarian politics threatens India’s secular democratic foundations and constitutional principles of liberty, equality and fraternity.

In making this case, HH Sankaracharya has cherry picked examples to suit his narrative. Russia and many heavily christian South American countries with many sects became communist. Kerala became communist and it was a very casteist society.

Right from the start of the second world War, Sri Aurobindo saw Hitler as the greatest evil, and therefore supported the Allies. He believed Subhash Chandra Bose was naive in his alliance with Hitler. If his INA had won, India would have come under German or Japanese rule. But many in the ashram supported Bose.

Nehru was clear, Gandhi ambivalent. Later he condemned Hitler, but his love everyone concept and ahimsa came in the way.

Sanjeev Sanyal’s Revolutionaries is a paradigm-shifting eye-opener. It shatters the narrow textbook view of India’s freedom struggle & reveals the massive, sophisticated, global revolutionary networks sidelined for decades. Must-read. @sanjeevsanyal @HarperCollinsIN

Heroes forgotten. Families mistreated post-independence. Records preserved by sympathisers. This gripping, deeply researched book is a necessary corrective to conventional history. Highly recommend Revolutionaries. @sanjeevsanyal @HarperCollinsIN

The decisive criterion is whether an organisation’s or cult’s foundational doctrines and practices implicitly or explicitly affirm the foundational Hindu metaphysical first principles based on Veda and remain substantially within Hindu religious framework. On that criterion, Sri Aurobindo, Arya Samaj, etc are within Hindu fold.

Moral emotions are not natural defaults. Love, truth, respect, guilt, compassion and self-restraint are civilizational achievements, developed over centuries through reason, conscience and moral discipline. My latest essay:

https://x.com/JayantBhandari5/status/2100295150903636214

There was lot of say but needed to put something quickly readable. The idea was to focus on current state in social sciences with some background. I don't think there was any academic pre-conceived notion disconnected from reality. But the idea of Reconstruction is inspired from Yajur-Sama Veda synthesis.

Thanks a lot for the input. It came out of frustration of seeing extremes when integrated balance can be more beneficial. Which culturally and historically more naturally seen in Indic thought, unique in the world.

Is there any compilation of Sri Aurobindo’s social and political views.

Sir what I was asking was follow up to your tweet that is it that no one has complied his entire social and political view in book/books form. Got the answer. Thanks.


The Literary Genius of the Isha Upanishad: Shloka 4 Pada 4

तस्मिन्नपो मातरिश्वा दधाति 

Translation: In That the Master of Life establishes the waters (by Sri Aurobindo)

This is a very Vedic statement with more meanings than one. Apas can be water or work depending on the accent. Swami Gambhirananda says that water in Vedic terms means works

Matarishva is Vayu’s description in the Veda and means Life. The allusion to the containing Mother principle is not accidental. Note also the sound ashva in the word which in the Veda refers to life energy or tapas.

Note also the use of ta-varga varnas, त, थ and द in the fourth pada though not as concentrated as the third pada.

Because of Isha being present everywhere the principle of Life is able to hold the works in the universe. The fourth Shloka is a magnificent description of Isha with the use of personification although the Isha is not a person


The Literary Genius of the Isha Upanishad: Shloka 5 pada 1

तदेजति तन्नैजति

Translation: That moves and That moves not (Sri Aurobindo)

Now we come to one of most poetically brilliant couplets of the Upanishads. Notice the velocity of rhythm as it picks up and slows, then picks up again. And we are back to the Anushtup Chhanda after the Trishtup in the previous one

Again, the root ejr- which implies vibration or movement, is used as in shloka 4. We see a repetition of three varnas from the first word in the second word or what is called the anaphora 

Here we see again paradox or virodhabhasa when the teacher says that the Isha moves and moves not. Without this masterly construct how much poorer would we be


Book Review: Who Owns the Past? How Historians [Re]wrote India’s Past and Present 1870–2020 by Shaan Kashyap
by Bhavuk countercurrents.org/2026/10/book-r…

In this review, Bhavuk examines Shaan Kashyap’s "Who Owns the Past? How Historians [Re]wrote India’s Past and Present 1870–2020", a study of the changing interpretations of India’s history. The book traces the influence of colonial historiography, nationalism and political contestation on historical writing and school textbooks. It explores debates involving historians such as R.C. Majumdar, Mohammad Habib and Irfan Habib, while examining the relationship between academic history, popular fiction and public understanding of the past. The review also considers the role of cinema, literature and evidence-based scholarly dialogue in making historical knowledge accessible to wider audiences.

The Ladder and the Field: Reconciling Eros, Qi, and the Polarity Architecture of Reality, Jim Loving / Alethic AI

The Ladder and the Field

Reconciling Eros, Qi, and the Polarity Architecture of Reality

Jim Loving / Alethic AI

Jim Loving is an independent consultant offering expertise for sustainability, business development, and Information Technology Strategy and Services.

Jan Krikke's essay, "The Ladder and the Field - Ken Wilber's Eros, Chinese Qi, and the Physics of Meaning," explores the Chinese concept of Xi and Wilber's concept of Eros and relates them to electromagnetism. It seems that Xi and the physics of electromagnetism point towards a polarity orientation for understanding reality vs the notion of Eros driving a creative advance into novelty - i.e. a direction in the universe driven by eros from matter to life to mind to culture (UTOK). Reconcile these two metaphysical explanations of reality, particularly the polarity lens within the IKB and how that relates to Wilber's concept of Eros vs Xi's Yin and yang.

Wilber's concept of Eros—drawing on Whitehead's notion of the creative advance into novelty, on Peirce's evolutionary love, and on Sri Aurobindo's involution-evolution schema—makes a different kind of claim. It is not primarily a claim about horizontal structure but about vertical directionality. The universe, on this account, exhibits a genuine tendency toward increasing complexity, depth, and consciousness. Quarks assemble into atoms; atoms into molecules; molecules into cells; cells into organisms; organisms into communities of consciousness; communities into cultural and spiritual integration. This is not random drift. It is an oriented process, and Eros names the orienting force.

This connects directly to what Gregg Henriques's UTOK (Unified Theory of Knowledge) calls the Tree of Knowledge—the sequence from matter to life to mind to culture, each level emergent from and irreducible to the one below.1 The directionality is real: you cannot have mind without life, life without chemistry, chemistry without physics. The sequence is not reversible. Something is driving—or at minimum, constituting—an arrow of increasing organizational depth.

Whitehead's actual occasions are relevant here. Each occasion, in prehending its predecessors and achieving its own synthesis, adds something genuinely new to the universe. The creative advance is not predetermined—Whitehead is insistent that novelty is real, not illusory—but it exhibits a tendency toward greater complexity and depth of experience that Whitehead associates with the primordial nature of God as the lure toward beauty, truth, and intensity of experience.2 This is Eros in Whitehead's metaphysics: not compulsion but enticement, the universe being drawn toward richer forms of actualization.

The ladder image captures something real about this. Levels are real. Emergence is directional. A bacterium is not a human brain; their difference is not merely of complexity but of organizational depth and experiential richness. Any framework that cannot account for this—that flattens all levels into a single relational field without vertical differentiation—loses something genuine... 

What Krikke's essay performs, whether or not it fully intends to, is a diagnosis of balkanization: Western integral theory has chronically over-emphasized the ladder pole, and the field has been correspondingly neglected. The corrective is not to abandon the ladder for the field but to restore the dynamic tension between them—to recognize that Eros is not the opposite of Qi but its complement, and that a reality capable of creative advance into novelty is also, at every moment of that advance, constituted by the polar tensions that give each level its internal structure and generative life.

Before the victory of the modernist mindset of separation and atomization, the Renaissance had attempted the construction of a participatory worldview, which Loren Goldner calls the Cosmobiological Tradition. The section on Cosmobiology of our wiki is dedicated to contemporary revivals of this tradition, through ‘organicist’ understandings of social change, mostly based on the work of two contemporary ‘neo-organicist’ philosophers, Robert Hanna and Otto Paans.

You can find out more about this approach here:

* Cold Reason, Creative Subjectivity: From Scientism and the Mechanistic Worldview To Expressive Organicism. Otto Paans. Borderless Philosophy 5 (2022): 161-212

https://www.academia.edu/80428910/Cold_Reason_Creative_Subjectivity_From_Scientism_and_The_Mechanistic_Worldview_To_Expressive_Organicism

Bear in mind that these mostly unconscious root metaphors are mostly produced by the framings of our religious and cultural history, and this is why the work of Herman Dooyeweerd is so important. Dooyeweerd’s Theory of Ground Motives and Religious Presuppositions affirms the following thesis: ... Dooyeweerd’s concept of ground motives was an attempt to understand the deep motivating forces that have steered or influenced Western thinking over the last 2,500 years since the days of the early Greek thinkers. Inspired by Kuyper’s view of world views, he identified four: ... 

The same issue of civilizational change through attending the forms of awareness is therefore explicitly but also pragmatically addressed by the works of Robert Hanna and Otto Paans, who introduce the very important concepts of Thought-Shapers and Action-Shapers. Their language is complex and philosophical, but I hope you bear with me, as the techniques they propose for overcoming and working with our conditioning, open a very fruitful path of ‘strategizing’ changes in the forms of awareness.

Otto Paans explains:

“Thought-shapers are essentially non-conceptual contents that operate in the construction of mental imagery and thought by arbitrarily picking out some topological and/or processual properties, and subsequently exaggerating or diminishing their presence.”

https://www.academia.edu/80428910/Cold_Reason_Creative_Subjectivity_From_Scientism_and_The_Mechanistic_Worldview_To_Expressive_Organicism

I interpret this as another view on the Dooyeweerd-ian ‘frames’. In other words, we can’t really think outside of them, so we need to know them.

If you consider Sorokin so important, consider his tribute to Sri Aurobindo (courtesy of Gemini AI)

Public Praise and Tributes: As Chairman of the Department of Sociology and the Research Center in Altruistic Integration and Creativity at Harvard University, Sorokin publicly recognized Sri Aurobindo's intellectual and spiritual contributions. Sorokin remarked:

"Sri Aurobindo's Life Divine and other Yoga-treatises are among the most important works of our time in philosophy, ethics and humanities. Sri Aurobindo himself is one of the greatest living sages of our time; and a most eminent moral leader."

Philosophical Parallels ("Integralism"):

Sorokin developed a sociological and philosophical framework he called Integralism, which sought to synthesize empirical, rational, and intuitive/supersensory modes of knowing. This closely mirrored Sri Aurobindo’s Integral Yoga and Integral Philosophy, which aimed to unite material reality with spiritual consciousness.

Research on Yoga and Supraconscious Energy:

During his time at Harvard, Sorokin engaged in comparative research on altruism, consciousness, and traditional spiritual discipline techniques (including Eastern practices and Yoga). In his theories on human personality, Sorokin posited a level of "supraconscious" energy—a concept closely aligned with Sri Aurobindo's formulation of the Supermind and supraconscious evolution.

Also, it sounds like you put Sri Aurobindo in the exclusively "spiritual" category. Apart form the fact that he was the leader of the independence movement before Gandhi (and jailed as a terrorist by the British), he was more concerned to rebut the "spiritualists" of the past 2000 years than the materialists. Also, people almost always forget that Mirra Alfassa played an equal role in terms of putting forth their evolutionary panentheistic vision.

Mirra was born and raised in Paris, a painter involved at the heyday of Impressionism, and studied with great Western occultists, whose knowledge she brought to the building up fo the Integral yoga.

https://open.substack.com/pub/4thgenerationcivilization/p/curated-article-how-do-we-change?utm_campaign=comment-list-share-cta&utm_medium=web&comments=true&commentId=357839915

Thank you for this Don. I consider Aurobindo among the great integralists, i.e. synthesizing matter and spirit in one integrated vision, though perhaps more 'internally' rooted in his own spiritual tradition, while Sorokin seems a 'secular outsider' ('post-secular as we say now). I appreciate this reminder of their convergences. I'm less sanguine about the Mother though. I find her books unreadable and perhaps even disjointed.

Physics has its own attempt to describe a state prior to geometry: John Wheeler’s proposal of “pregeometry,” the idea that space and its shape are not fundamental but emerge from something deeper and non-spatial.⁵ The working idea here is best understood through an analogy. Physicists describe the newborn universe using something called a wave-function of the universe — think of it less as an object in space and more as a master list of every possible shape space could take, each with a certain likelihood attached, the way a die “contains” six possible outcomes before it’s thrown. What keeps that list consistent — what rules out combinations that don’t add up — is called a Hamiltonian constraint: essentially a bookkeeping law, an accounting requirement that every possible universe on the list has to balance out, the way a recipe requires ingredients to sum correctly no matter how you scale it. The strange and important feature of this bookkeeping law is that it contains no clock — no built-in “time” ticking underneath it. Time, in this picture, isn’t a stage the universe stands on; it’s something that only starts to exist once one particular shape “condenses” out of that master list and becomes real, the way a single outcome only exists once the die actually lands.⁶... 

The poem’s zero precedes not just matter but space itself — there is no “where” for this Night to occupy, only trance. Modern physics has its own formal attempt to describe a state prior to geometry: John Wheeler’s proposal of “pregeometry,” the idea that spacetime and its metric structure are not fundamental but emerge from a deeper, non-geometric substrate.⁵ The clearest working formalism for this is the Wheeler–DeWitt equation of quantum cosmology.
