169. Christ came into the world to purify, not to fulfil. He himself foreknew the failure of his mission and the necessity of his return with the sword of God into a world that had rejected him. Sri Aurobindo's thoughts and aphorisms
"Mahomed would himself have rejected the idea of being an Avatar, so we have to regard him only as the prophet, the instrument, the Vibhuti. Christ realised himself as the Son who is one with the Father – he must therefore be an aМЩАvatАra, a partial incarnation."
FROM SRI AUROBINDO'S LETTERS ON YOGA(VOLUME1,CH VII,THE PURPOSE OF AVATARHOOD)
[Zack de la Rocha] They say that in war the truth be the first casualty So I, dig in selector, I, the resurrector Fly my shit, sever your neck, wider than ever With my, tongue dipped in funk arsenic Burn this illusion, this lie with straight arson shit Your arsenal stripped, power ain't full jackets and clips It's, my ability to, define phenomenonal raw Crenshaw '84, Boogie Down before L.A. when the war break off Where you be take off, stand-in full face off With the M-1 millimeter, let the rhythm of the chamber hit 'em Let the rich play catch with 'em Better yet make 'em, eat 'em and shit 'em 'til they, so full of holes that they drown in their own I'm like a, nail stuck in the wrist of they Christmas Don't need radio, to leave they family a witness
[Chorus] Muhammad and Christ, word life, would lay your body down To a tune so wild international In the desert full of bullets let yo' body rot With my chrome, with my verse, with my body rock Both Muhammad and Christ would lay your body down To a tune so wild international In the desert full of bullets let yo' body rot With my chrome, with my verse...
[Zack de la Rocha] In this era where DJ's, behave Be paid to be slaves, we raid airwaves, to be sane And, what's rainin, from the station Cash fascination, like livin dead fed agents Distract us fast, from a disaster's wrath for sure Air war is flooded like the 9th Ward On the AM, on the AM Turn and face them, hatred and mayhem Slay them, dangerous, I take razor steps It's the swing from the bling, to the bang on the left It's the murderous return, boom bap full strap Your six that got clipped, you can't clap back With minimal lift, and criminal flow I'm killin them soft and billin them for, everything stole And once again I'm that nail in the wrist of they Christmas Watch me make they family a witness~!
[Chorus] Muhammad and Christ, word life, would lay your body down To a tune so wild international In the desert full of bullets let yo' body rot With my chrome, with my verse, with my body rock Both Muhammad and Christ would lay your body down To a tune so wild international In the desert full of bullets let yo' body rot With my chrome, with my verse, with my body rock
After 9/11 you could see that reframing taking place. The specter of Communism no longer haunted the U.S., justifying its actions in Latin America and all over the world. What filled that void were Al Qaeda and the Muslim world in general. That song is, in an abstract way, addressing the way the right has distracted people from this huge rush of wealth from the bottom to the top..“I don’t see [One Day as a Lion's first single Wild International] as an anti-religious song. I see it as the West has been using Christianity as a way to justify its actions when in reality, those figures, Christ and Muhammad, were rebels. These two religious figures have been co-opted to justify power, although they fought against the abuses of power and the expansion of empire.” — Zach de la Rocha,
"It became . . . an established rule for the learner to observe strict reserve as to the inner experiences of Yoga and for the developed Yogin as far as possible to conceal himself. This has not prevented treatises and manuals from being published dealing with thephysical or with the moral and intellectual sides of Yoga. Nor has it prevented great spirits who have gained their Yoga not by the ordinary careful and scientific methods but by their own strength and the special grace of God, from revealing themselves and their spiritual knowledge to mankind and in their intense love for humanity imparting something of their power to the world. Such were Buddha, Christ, Mahomed, Chaitanya, such have been Ramakrishna and Vivekananda"-SRI AUROBINDO (Essays in Philosophy and Yoga, p.13-14)
