Harmony Behind All Discord

... if we take a more deliberate view of the world's workings,
that direct opposition appears rather as part of Nature's pro-
foundest method and the seal of her completest sanction.
For all problems of existence are essentially problems of
harmony. They arise from the perception of an unsolved dis-
cord and the instinct of an undiscovered agreement or unity.
To rest content with an unsolved discord is possible for the
practical and more animal part of man, but impossible for his
fully awakened mind, and usually even his practical parts only
escape from the general necessity either by shutting out the
problem or by accepting a rough, utilitarian and unillumined
compromise. For essentially, all Nature seeks a harmony, life
and matter in their own sphere as much as mind in the arrange-
ment of its perceptions. The greater the apparent disorder
of the materials offered or the apparent disparateness, even
to irreconcilable opposition, of the elements that have to be
utilised, the stronger is the spur, and it drives towards a more
subtle and puissant order than can normally be the result of a
less difficult endeavour.
CWSA 21: 4-5 Sri Aurobindo

It is only in union with the Divine
and in the Divine
that harmony
and peace can be established.
CWM 14: 184 The Mother
