The Life Divine

Sri Aurobindo hacia 1900
bySri Aurobindo

His great metaphysical treatise. It starts from the human aspiration towards God, light, freedom and immortality, and reads it as the sign of an unfinished evolution: the Spirit (Sachchidananda) has involved itself in matter and emerges in it as life, mind and, in the future, supermind. It argues against materialism and against the illusionism of the Vedantins, analyses the Ignorance as partial knowledge rather than error, and culminates in the description of the “gnostic being” and of a divine life on earth. It is the philosophical basis of his whole yoga.
