Depicting the complexity of a hermeneutical life as that of Sri
Aurobindo, in which he arrives at an understanding of himself and that of the
West as part of each other, Mehta locates this understanding emanating from the
Vedantic as much as from a Heideggerian sources. He brings in Heidegger to
illustrate the interesting relationship the self has with its other, a position
which Aurobindo spawned by living out the kind of existence he did. Aurobindo’s
life came with a certain kind of depth where any stark differences between the
self and the other simply got dissolved.

According to Sri Aurobindo, “At present mankind is undergoing an
evolutionary crisis in which is concealed a choice of its destiny; for a stage
has been reached in which the human mind has achieved in certain directions an
enormous development while in others it stands arrested and bewildered and can
no longer find its way.” Sri Aurobindo envisions a future when the mind could
be transformed into a Supramental gnosis…
To a professor who was logically convinced of Sri Aurobindo’s vision
but wondered if the ugly man of today could really grow into something
beautiful, a rustic school teacher told, “If a wonder like the lotus could
bloom out of mud with the Sun’s Grace, why cant out of our muddy mind bloom the
Supramental with the Divine’s Grace? We may replace Divine’s Grace with
Evolutionary thrust, if we please.

Satprem relates that on 19 May 1973, six months
before The Mother’s death he was barred admission to her room, the beginning of
a serious falling out between the Ashram leadership and himself. Moreover,
Satprem and his followers believe there is evidence in the recorded audiotapes
that the Mother did not actually die but rather entered a “cataleptic trance”
or state of suspended animation in which there would not even be a detectable
heartbeat.
