Summary
Sri Aurobindo: The Divine Life
Man's earliest preoccupation in his waking thoughts, and, as it seems, his inevitable and fundamental preoccupation - as he manages to survive even the longest periods of skepticism and return after every exile - is at the same time the highest that his thought can assume and consider. It manifests itself in the foreboding of Divinity, in the pursuit of perfection, in the search for absolute Truth and pure Bliss, in the feeling of mysterious immortality. The ancient dawns of human knowledge allowed us to witness this continuous striving; today we see that humanity, satiated but not satisfied with the victorious examination of the objectification of Nature, is preparing to return to its primal desires. The oldest basic position of Wisdom assures us that it will be final - God, Light, Freedom, Immortality.
