Sri Aurobindo's thought is indeed anthropocentric

Sri Aurobindo's—and the Mother's—life, they together traversing the Path of Descent from the moment they met first on 29 March 1914, at 4 pm in the Ashram's Guest House where Sri Aurobindo was staying at that time. ...

Is existence essentially unreal? (himanshu damle): Aurobindo and Philosophy By himanshu damle 
I was at a seminar hosted in honour of celebrating the centenary of Aurobindo's arrival in
Pondicherry. Three days, but I could only find myself attend one and a half days, which were intense, no doubt. ...
Although a sense of deifying Aurobindo is so very palpable here, it none the less becomes difficult if the point is not taken clearly and there is a circuit collapse in thinker's own 'so-called disciples' way of thinking. Apart from the personal saga of the first narrative, cases like Aurobindo's disciples asking him to cure them of their ailment and he in tun directing them at the doctor and then saying this directing is itself the force acting is simply ridiculous to take any credibility of. Then came a short talk on 'The Ultimate Theory of Everything' and lessons to be taken from Aurobindo and must say that the speaker did reveal importantly that despite 100 years' of science's jettisoning 'Ether' from its manyfoldedness, it has come back to be all pervading and in Aurobindo is termed 'Consciousness'!!!!! This was perplexing indeed. A scholarly talk, but at times showing proclivities towards 'Thou Art Aurobindo'…
But, a sense of pride was felt by me (narcissism does tend to take over at times), when it was agreed that his thought is indeed anthropocentric and the reason given being man as the highest development of consciousness (thats what I called earlier circuit collapse)!!!!!!

If, instead of demanding an “either/or” solution to the process of creation, we accept that both “chance” and “necessity” represent essential aspects of the creative process, we find that suddenly the “inexplicable” starts to make sense.
We see on the one side the fantastic variety and uniqueness of forms that appear to occur purely by chance and do not seem to follow any fixed design as to the specifics of any of these forms; and on the other side, we can drill down and find exact mathematical precision and an “architecture” to the structure of the universe that clearly represents some organised and systematic approach to building up the creation.

Sri Aurobindo continues to expand on this concept: “On that hypothesis, there must be behind the action of the material Energy a secret involved Consciousness, cosmic, infinite, building up through the action of that frontal Energy its ...
So I as much as anyone care about the edition I use being exactly correct according to Sri Aurobindo's latest corrections and wishes. But the only way we can get to that goal is through a thoroughly annotated critical edition, ...
Cosmic Piper has left a new comment on your post "Considering the 1950-51 edition as "the authoritat...": I have an edition I purchased in America in 1972. It is thoroughly worn, the pages all separated, the cover weather-beaten. I once carried it with me to a meeting of the New York Sri Aurobindo Center (when there was such a thing) in the rain, refusing to close it while reading walking in the rain, so that it was thoroughly soaked. I offered it to Sri Aurobindo in the rain. I do not regret that, because it is still readable. I felt, "It is more important for me to read these words now than for this copy to be left dry." I knew that Sri Aurobindo could stop the rain if He wanted to. Hugh Higgins Posted by Cosmic Piper to Savitri Era Open Forum at 1:03 AM, March 29, 2010

In doing that we do not lose touch with the ordinary, the daily, the commonplace, "the simple world of kind familiar things" (Sri Aurobindo). Rather, we consecrate that familiarity toward higher potentials. ...
Between the 1950-1951 edition and 1954 ed. - there were no changes, only one line was deleted, and 157 minor corrections - which were in terms of final proof readings, done by the Mother with the assistance of Nolini, Amal, Nirod and other press people.

Sri Aurobindo Quotes by Andrew Crichton
Evolution is not finished; reason is not the last word nor the reasoning animal the supreme figure of Nature. As man emerged out of the animal, so out of man.
Either man must fulfill himself by satisfying the Divine within him or he must produce out of himself a new and greater being who will be more capable of satisfying it. He must either himself become a divine humanity or give place to Superman. SRI…

New Delhi, Mar 28 : Away from the cliched domain of bibliography and history, Arup Mitra's historical novel 'Uttara Yogi' delicately blends the intricacies of adventure, love, patriotism and betrayal to depict pre-Independent India and the true identity of one of India's most beloved sons - Aurobindo Ghose…
