No one in the whole of Western tradition epitomizes such a Global synthesis

Sri Aurobindo “is not in the habit of mentioning names,” but his “allusive style” leaves a trail from which a genealogy of his theory and poetry can be conveniently derived. Not only has he roamed with the likes of Heraclites and Horace, but also drank from the cups of Vamadeva and Bhartrihari et al. No one -- from Aristotle to Zizek -- in the whole of Western tradition epitomizes such a Global synthesis.

The entire corpus of The Mother and Sri Aurobindo’s works is now available online. A sustained reading of a few passages a day can open up a new world of imagination and enchantment. [TNM]
