Buddha and Sri Aurobindo

Buddha said" The world is an illusion,Maya. The best way is to ignore reality and disappear into Nirvana.!"

Sri Aurobindo on the contrary says " The world is dark and ignorant precisely because there exists the possibility of perfection and divine manifestation.!"
India descended into Tamas-inaction because it blindly followed the teachings of Buddha. The best minds took the world to be Maya and withdrew into solitude and inaction. As a consequence India gradually slipped into decadence and darkness.
In the 20th century as a consequence of foreign domination,people like Ramakrishna,Vivekananda,Dayananda,Sri Aurobindo and Tilak re-invented Indian culture,particularly the Bhagwad Gita and made it into a gospel of action and works.
That revolution in thought still awaits completion!
