Yes, when I am satisfied I know enough about that book to comment in an intelligent manner. It has been very interesting to follow the flow and ebb of the debate.

Sri Aurobindo’s Vision of Spiritual Life and the New Race by Prabir Kumar Bagchi Mirror of Tomorrow Thursday, 02 Jun 2011

We have started this essay from a position where human being as a race has reached a stage of its development and moving in a circle at some point of the evolutionary march where from it is imperative to have a leap farther. He is obviously in an evolutionary crisis. He has piled up huge comfort and externalities for the fulfilment of his desires and utilities of his mental, vital and physical propensities.  He has set up a structure of external life and a system of civilization with multifaceted social, political, administrative and cultural machineries which has become more than his present limited mental capacity to sustain and handle.

His progress has become halted at some point in the absence of a greater seeing mind, intuitive and psychic knowledge and vision which could provide him free growth, greater knowledge, power and force to uplift his present status beyond his material and economic existence. He needs discovery of his psychic being, his spiritual Person and makes itself the leader of his development and progress.
