How does the new creation look like? What are its characteristics, its distinct features, its powers of expression, its possibilities, its mysterious potentials in superior harmony born in the joy of the spirit? What kind of connection will it bear with the world as we have here at present, this mortal world of anguish, this Keats’s nest of pain, this duhkhālya of the Buddhist, this haunt of ignorance, this home of Pain as declared by Narad? Will there be a bridge between the two, the mortal and the immortal, or will they ever exist aloof and apart from each other, unconcerned, indifferent, things here not changing in any definite way, things from there unwilling to enter into what is here? The present Savitri-essay in poetry, describing the outbreak of perfection’s law, so beautiful, and precise and detailed, gives us some idea of the highlands and the hinterlands, the valleys and the mountains, the rivers and the thick green luxurious forests, and the birds and the animals that inhabit it in their divine contents over there, that live over there under the perfection’s law. If it is a perfect world with these dazzling and colourful, with these positive and optimistic and truth-bearing inhabitants, swift in their sweet amicable moods of love and laughter, with knowledge and power and accomplishment, all in the fullness of life, in the delight of existence, then one really wonders as to what sort of perfection it is actually holding, whether it is the archetypal, or it is the evolutionary perfection, charged with the capabilities of the great transcendental gods and goddesses in the play of a yet brighter and widening infinity? The contrast is caught in the following:

All here self-lost had there its divine place.

The Powers that here betray our hearts and err,

Were there sovereign in truth, perfect in joy,

Masters in a creation without flaw,

Possessors of their own infinitude.

Here are Masters of creation, perfect in joy because they are sovereign in truth, sovereign in truth because they are perfect in joy. The Rig Veda hymns that a perfect path of the Truth has come into being for our journey to the other shore beyond the darkness. (I:46:11) Or else, it tells us that by the Truth they hold the Truth that holds all, hold in the power of the Sacrifice, in the supreme ether: by the Truth they hold the Truth that holds all, says Rishi Vamadeva, ŗténa ŗtam dharuņam dhāraynta. (V:15:2)

About the perfection of this new creation, let us read something from The Life Divine:

As there has been established on earth a mental Consciousness and Power which shapes a race of mental beings and takes up into itself all of earthly nature that is ready for the change, so now there will be established on earth a gnostic Consciousness and Power which will shape a race of gnostic spiritual beings and take up into itself all of earth-nature that is ready for this new transformation. It will also receive into itself from above, progressively, from its own domain of perfect light and power and beauty all that is ready to descend from that domain into terrestrial being. For the evolution proceeded in the past by the upsurging, at each critical stage, of a concealed Power from its involution in the Inconscience, but also by a descent from above, from its own plane, of that Power already self-realised in its own higher natural province. In all these previous stages there has been a division between surface self and consciousness and subliminal self and consciousness; the surface was formed mainly under the push of the upsurging force from below, by the Inconscient developing a slowly emergent formulation of a concealed force of the Spirit, the subliminal partly in this way but mainly by a simultaneous influx of the largeness of the same force from above: a mental or a vital being descended into the subliminal parts and formed from its secret station there a mental or a vital personality on the surface. But before the supramental change can begin, the veil between the subliminal and the surface parts must have been already broken down; the influx, the descent will be in the entire consciousness as a whole, it will not take place partly behind a veil: the process will be no longer a concealed, obscure and ambiguous procedure but an open out-flowering consciously felt and followed by the whole being in its transmutation. In other respects the process will be identical,—a supramental inflow from above, the descent of a gnostic being into the nature, and an emergence of the concealed supramental force from below; the influx and the unveiling between them will remove what is left of the nature of the Ignorance. The rule of the Inconscient will disappear: for the Inconscience will be changed by the outburst of the greater secret Consciousness within it, the hidden Light, into what it always was in reality, a sea of the secret Superconscience. A first formation of a gnostic consciousness and nature will be the consequence. (pp. 967-68)

The promise is, a greater and richer and as yet a mysterious new creation will change this smaller death-haunted creation, a creation in which we live at present, in which we attempt to develop our human as well as posthuman potential.
