The Truth-power must be brought down from above into that state of peace, and this higher power - Parashakti - will directly guide the vehicle - ฤdhฤra - and transform it.
Sri AurobindoThe higher Truth is all the time working in us but through the lower power - Aparashakti. It is when we become conscious of the play of this higher Power then only yoga begins.
Sri AurobindoThe mind has these four levels: physical, vital, buddhi, higher mind. The Supermind is far above these.
Sri AurobindoBut what after all, behind appearances, is this seeming mystery? We can see that it is the Consciousness which had lost itself returning again to itself, emerging out of its giant self-forgetfulness, slowly, painfully, as a Life that is would be sentient, half-sentient, dimly sentient, wholly sentient and finally struggles to be more than sentient, to be again divinely selfconscious, free, infinite, immortal.
