Yes, the Gita is a perfect example. Its expressions of deep spiritual truths still resonate deeply thousands of years later – one measure of its greatness. However it does not expound on the truth of the progressive manifestation of spirit and consciousness through time in progressively more complex physical forms on earth – the concept of spiritual evolution so central for Sri Aurobindo and Mother. Could it be that the expression of the idea of evolution by Darwin 
but is not in the Gita? It has always been a spiritual truth, but its expression in human thought and language has a certain contingency on the state of development of that thought and language.

Indians take a bit from all religions. To most Hindus, Jesus is another god in the company of Siva, Krishnu and the others. Though the Europeans were able to proselytize and believed they had achieved conversion, the truer story is that most Indians, especially in Tamil Nadu and some other states, remained Hindu and gladly expanded their pantheon of gods to whom they worshipped. They do not see any sacrilege in this, just enhancement.

To get at the essence of what the overmental process is, in comparison to the mental process, it may be useful to compare specific ways of addressing or understanding issues and looking at how they vary between the two standpoints.

buddhacious: Integral Spirituality by 0thouartthat0
29, The Life Divine by Sri Aurobindo). This, I think, is exactly what an integral spirituality should embody. Integralism has nothing to do with correctly formulating the logical or linguistic consequences of its application to philosophy and science, though such endeavors may indeed be fruitful. Integral spirituality has a tremendous variety of applications, and I don’t mean to negate the deep thinkers who attempt to translate their experiential realizations into textual argument. This kind of work can lead to tremendous advances in our understanding of thought and discourse.

On the Matter of Life: Towards an Integral Biology of Economics By Matthew Segall
But Aurobindo is not wrong when he writes that “the natural opposition we make between death and life is an error of our mentality” (p. 176, ibid.). He urges us to become aware of a more integral life, which
“is nothing else than the Force that builds and maintains and destroys the forms in the world…that manifests itself in the form of earth as much as in the plant that grows upon the earth and the animals that support their existence by devouring the life-force of the plants or of each other” (p. 177, ibid.).
Death is a part of life’s dynamic wholeness, a life present “everywhere, secret or manifest, organized or elemental, involved or evolved, but universal, all-pervading, imperishable; only its forms and organizings differ” (p. 179, ibid.).
The fifth article focuses on four short poems of Sri Aurobindo, "The Tiger and the Deer", "A Child's Imagination", "transformation" and "Nirvana" that mark ...
