Heroic independence, fearlessness, the courage to seek -- rather than avoid -- a challenge

My sense is that these "great souls" (I think they would shudder at this label) are not conventional. The very qualities that made liberation possible -- heroic independence, fearlessness, the courage to seek -- rather than avoid -- a challenge, would almost demand their continued action in the world.

Were Tota Puri to appear in the modern world, I suspect he'd look very much like Anugata. The heights of immobile trance having been scaled, the great soul attempts to establish its influence over the physical world, the world of action. The soul takes up the new challenge of what Sri Aurobindo calls the "Live Divine." Posted by Y. at 11:48 PM
