Sri Aurobindo - An Introduction
Within this play:
"man has been evolving, now self-consciously,
from the lowest to the highest levels of existence; his latest evolutionary
stage will integrate the physical, vital, and mental in a synthesis made
possible by the Supermind. Thus the Supermind is the bridge between the
lower and higher hemispheres of existence, as follows:
Existence (Sat)
Consciousness-Force (Chit)
Bliss (Ananda)
Supermind (perfect unity in diversity)
Mind (intellect and intuition)
Life (vital, organic)
Matter (physical, inconscient)
Just as the lower levels of consciousness need to be transformed by the
higher three, the Sat-Chit-Ananda is not fulfilled until it completely
spiritualizes the entire realms of physical, vital, and mental existence."
