Aurobindo wrote
He who would bring the heavens here
Must descend himself into clay
And the burden earthly nature bear
And tread the dolorous way !
Coercing my Godhead I have come
Into this sordid earth
Ignorant, labouring, human grown,
Betwixt the gates of birth and death !
Transforming Earth into a Heaven is difficult; and we have to sacrifice many personal comforts for such a noble purpose. We have to understand that this is the Law of the Way. Only after the shedding of all mortal dross can we be pure; and only by becoming pure can we hope to get Self Actualisation
In the void of Mind involute
The fleeting Universe rises and floats
And sinks back into the current “I”
Vivekananda – The Hymn of Cosmic Consciousness
