The central message of this book is that evolution, which is a progressive unfolding of the Spirit through successively higher levels of consciousness, has reached a stage where the next transition is preparing to take place, the leap from mind to that which is beyond mind—the supermind. The writings of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother do not just convey certain ideas but also induce a psychic or soul state of consciousness. They are living words, vibrant with a consciousness greater than that of the mind, and are capable of kindling the spirit of receptive readers. The extracts in this book have been selected because they embody this unique quality.
