Guest guest Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Dear shanracer, Further to our discussion on people like Hitler etc...See below what Sri Aurobindo has written about this :- ....It is not an accident that she(Kali) works in one man more than in another. He is chosen because he is a likely vessel, and having chosen him she neither rejects him till the purpose is fulfilled nor allows him to reject her and her work. When a man who has carried out a great work is destroyed, it is for the egoism by which he has misused the force within that the force itself breaks him to pieces, as it broke Napoleon (or Hitler). Some instruments are treasured up, some are flung aside and shattered, but all are instruments. This is the greatness of great men, not that by their own strength they can determine great events, but that they are serviceable and specially orged instruments of the power which determines them. The men who prided themselves that great events or big destructions were their own work because they seemed to have an initial hand in them, go down into the trench of Time and others march forward over their shattered reputations. Those who are swept forward by Kali within them and make no terms with Fate, they alone survive. The greatness of the individual is the greatness of the eternal Energy working through them !
