renaissance.aurosociety.org THE KSHATRIYA TURN OF NATURE

. . . predominance of the will-force and the

capacities which make for strength, energy,

courage, leadership, protection, rule, victory

in every kind of battle, a creative and

formative action, the will-power which lays

its hold on the material of life and on the wills

of other men and compels the environment

into the shapes which the Shakti within us

seeks to impose on life or acts powerfully

according to the work to be done to maintain

what is in being or to destroy it and make

clear the paths of the world or to bring out

into definite shape what is to be.

Sri Aurobindo, CWSA, 24: 744
