Chapter 13

Inner Unity of Ishwara-Shakti

Words of Sri Aurobindo

The Mother and myself stand for the same Power in two forms – so the perception in the dream was perfectly logical. Ishwara-Shakti, Purusha-Prakriti are only the two sides of the one Divine (Brahman).

Words of Sri Aurobindo

It is a very common experience – that of the identity between myself and the Mother (the perception that we are one) expressed in the fusing of the two images.

Words of Sri Aurobindo

Is there any significance in Mother’s standing on the right side and your standing on the left in my experience?

Yes, she is the executive power and must have the right arm free for action. The symbolism which puts her on the left side belongs to the Ignorance. In the Ignorance she is on the left side, not free in her action, all is a wrong action or half result. For the supramental work the true symbol is the Mother on the right side.
