Digital Dreams

The central theme of Sri Aurobindo's vision is the evolution of life into a "life divine". In his own words: "Man is a transitional being. He is not final. The step from man to superman is the next approaching achievement in the earth evolution. It is inevitable because it is at once the intention of the inner spirit and the logic of Nature's process."

Minimalism is a lifestyle for many. “Simplicity, clarity, singleness: These are the attributes that give our lives power and vividness and joy as they are also the marks of great art.” —Richard Holloway

Minimalism makes things achievable , as mentioned before how my feeling of overwhelm with too many options, made simpler by asking what do I really need to get started with?  I interpret Minimalism isn’t about ‘giving up’ certain things.  I find that the more I declutter the more liberty I have to make sense what I really need to do from all the noise out there in a world full of too many choices and options.

Hence as an adult I am trying to cultivate it again. I love science and technology but art makes life beautiful. We all don't have be a Picasso or Vinci. But writing stories in one's journal, bad attempt at poem, trying to dance as if no one is watching, singing while cooking, art can be expressed at many things.  “Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” ― Pablo Picasso. What art are you going to make today Digital dreamers?

“It is India that gave us the ingenious method of expressing all numbers by means of ten symbols, each symbol receiving a value of position as well as an absolute value; a profound and important idea which appears so simple to us now that we ignore its true merit. But its very simplicity and the great ease which it has lent to computations put our arithmetic in the first rank of useful inventions; and we shall appreciate the grandeur of the achievement the more when we remember that it escaped the genius of Archimedes and Apollonius, two of the greatest men produced by antiquity.” ― Pierre-Simon Laplace
