First Cause

Delight is Sri Aurobindo's term for ananda, and plays a large part in his cosmology and spiritual teaching. Delight is the reason for creation, by which The Absolute extends its Delight of Being into multiplicity, losing itself in the inconscience and then through Delight rediscovering Itself through individuals realizing their Divine nature and proceeding to spiritual realization.

In other words, the universe was created so that the Delight of the Infinite Spirit can manifest in all the forms of creation. When we discover our higher nature, the soul and spirit, we experience the delight for which we came into being and of which we are a part.


It can also be said in a different way according to David Cameron Gikandi.

"In the absence of that which is not, that which is, is not."

Let it sink into you, think about it. Man how profound is the meaning.
