The Life Divine by Sri Aurobindo is one of the most ambitious and profound works of modern spiritual philosophy, presenting a vision of the evolution of consciousness toward a divine life on earth. Drawing on Vedanta, Tantra, and Western philosophy, Aurobindo argues that matter itself is a form of the Spirit, and that human evolution is moving toward the supramental transformation. This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand Aurobindo's integral vision and the possibilities of human spiritual evolution.
