The Life Divine is a deeply profound and unprecedented work. And your search sounds very much like my own. You should study the compilation called "The Integral Yoga". It seems to put his work and ideas in simpler terms allowing those less educated in the work of Aurobindo to grasp his ideas. Thank You for sharing this, keep it up.

Iam glad to see you read THE LIFE DIVINE....

His understanding is deep and explains in detail... You have chosen the best...Good luck for your spiritual understanding...

If there is a God then there is a division, godless philosophies are fair and valid where we can reach unprecedented heights of realisation without submission to some entity always superior then us.

Western Philosophy is objective centric and Eastern Philosophy is subjective centric...

"By that hunger mysticism profits and new religions arise to replace the old that have been destroyed or stripped of significance by a scepticism which itself could not satisfy because, although its business was inquiry, it was unwilling sufficiently to inquire.

Thanks for bringing this important work to youtube. One humble request--Aurobindo is THICK stuff and for average minds like mine, needs slower reading to capture more of its quality! Can you slow it down and highlight important parts?

I had heard of Sri Aurobindo - in grad school in a Western phil programme but don't know his work. This is a nice sampling of it; thank you so much.

I am surprised that someone in the West is actually reading Sri Aurobindo. My life changed since I started going to Pondicherry in 2006.
