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.

Same theme, different voices
One attains Perfect Knowledge when one sees God in man.
Blessed are those who have pure hearts, for they will see God.
As Scripture says, 'Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen' (Hebrews 11:1).
God told Prophet David, 'The servant dearest to Me is one who doesn't seek Me out of fear or hope for reward, but to fulfill their duty to My divinity.'
Therefore, one must rise above these faculties to perceive Him, and this rise above the senses, mind, and intellect comes with His grace.
