Beauty in Collective Simplicity
Each element plays its part in the whole.
As soon as all effort disappears from a manifestation, it becomes very simple, with the simplicity of a flower opening, manifesting its beauty and spreading its fragrance without clamour or vehement gesture. And in this simplicity lies the greatest power, the power which is least mixed and least gives rise to harmful reactions… Simplicity, simplicity! How sweet is the purity of Thy Presence!…

Sri Aurobindo's answer is always the same: Be simple, be simple, very simple.
And I know what he means: to deny entry to regimenting, organising, prescriptive, judgmental thought—he wants none of all that. What he calls being simple is a joyous spontaneity; in action, in expression, in movement, in life—be simple, be simple, be simple. A joyous spontaneity.
