In proportion as they succeed, and to the degree to which they carry this evolution, the yet unrealized potentiality which they represent will become the actual possibility of the future.\"\n―Sri Aurobindo, The Human Cycle\nSri Aurobindo stands out as one of the deepest and most profoundly relevant of contemporary Asian spiritual masters speaking to the West. His vision transcends the distinctive strengths and weaknesses of India and the West, and his discipline brings the yogas of the Gita to the task of world transformation.\nHis collaborator, The Mother, offers a blueprint for the utopian community Auroville, giving sage advice on the ideal of a spiritually based approach to education.\nRobert McDermott's afterword in this revised edition recounts the increased significance of Aurobindo's message in the West―especially for America―since the book was first published in 1973.\nHere is an invaluable resource for understanding the underlying connections and common ground between Eastern and Western teachings and traditions for modern thinkers and spiritual seekers.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0970109725\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0970109725.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:McDermott, Robert A.|Sri Aurobindo, Sri\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
