Synopsis
Sri Aurobindo represents a synthesis of the teachings of both the West and the East. Not content simply with dissolution into a transcendental, other-worldly God-consciousness, nor with concentration on the outer life and its powers to the exclusion of anything other or higher, Sri Aurobindo has created the teachings of a Divine Life on Earth.
The way of Yoga followed here has a different purpose from others, for its aim is not only to rise out of the ordinary, ignorant world-consciousness into the divine consciousness, but also to descend into the ignorance of mind, life and body, to transform them, to manifest the Divine here and create a divine life in Matter.
