Important Information

Ingredients
When one reflects on the meaning and purpose of individual existence, the question of the soul, or as Sri Aurobindo names it, the psychic being, inevitably arises. It is this inner essence, or "souls" that moves from life to life, gathers to itself the experience, and develops the psychic personality, standing behind the life movements and informing them with their original divine intention.

5.0 out of 5 starsone goes about like a walking block of wood
By James R C Baker on July 8, 2014
Format: Paperback
For me, this is priceless: "“There are other times when, for some reason or other, one is clouded or closed or down in a hole, and so one no longer feels anything and all things lose their taste, their interest, their value; one goes about like a walking block of wood.” The Mother, p. 181

4.0 out of 5 starsNo introduction!
By A Customer on July 2, 2004
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
The book suffers from not having a suitable introduction. An explanation of the significance of the subject-matter of the book was sorely missed. The first part of the book describes the troubles Sri Aurobindo and the Mother had to go through to explain the translation of the inner I or chaitya purusha or soul as the psychic being. The chaitya purusha is one of the most important teachings of Sri Aurobindo.
The chaitya purusha is not the jivaatman. The jivaatman is the akartaa witness, the chaitya purusha is associated with ahamkaara, therefore, the doer. If I understood it correctly, the chaitya purusha is the bird that eats the fruit while the jivaatman watches.
