Krishna & Kali – Destroyer of Evil

The four aspects
Disciple: Is it true that the Higher Power has no human consider-
ations for the Adhar in which it descends, because for the Power it
does not seem to matter if the Adhar breaks?

Sri Aurobindo: The best is to have the Mahasaraswati and Mahesh-
wari aspects working. Formerly I used to work in that way. Many
would not be able to bear Mahakali — only a few can pull with im-
punity. All the four aspects have to be harmonised in us. The ideal
condition is to have in front any one aspect of the Power that is
necessary for action, with the three others behind it.
(Evening Talks by A B Purani, Pg. 482)

Krishna, Kali, Karma, Kama
Krishna is the Ishwara taking delight in the world.
Kali is the Shakti carrying out the Lila according to the pleasure of
the Ishwara.
Karma is the Divine Action.
Kama is the Divine Enjoyment.
(CWSA 11:1478) Sri Aurobindo

All is the Divine and the Divine alone exists.
(CWM:10:362) The Mother

T. asks, ‘Why don’t the gods help us? Why do they keep us in
bondage?’

The Mother: That’s not what Sri Aurobindo means! He means he
doesn’t want to be limited by the gods, not even by their pow-
ers. He wants to be vaster than they are: vaster, more total, more
complete. It’s not a question of getting rid of their influence but
of becoming more than that.
