Knowledge accumulation is an ancient enterprise which refuses to cease. But after so much of scientific and philosophical advancement our understanding of the outer Universe as well as inner universe can at best be said to be rudimentary. The contributions of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are an authentic source but it is difficult to recommend them for assured result. In that sense, they belong to the realm of metaphysical speculation or poetic imagination. That said, it's profitable to turn to their socio-political ideas and literary-cultural output for educational purposes. This has, especially, assumed urgency in view of the Hindutva menace that we discussed in the last post.
Mapping genealogical trajectories in Sri Aurobindo's oeuvre is a herculean task but highly rewarding and fertile field. That itself offers an intellectual journey around the world. Further, one finds him closer to modernity than say, Dante at whose time science was in infancy. Thus, Sri Aurobindo's relevance to current Indian scene is immense. Providing an alternative political ideology is still more potent than the pedagogical dimension. [TNM55]

5. Indian thought haunted Hegel, representing a sort of evil twin to his own philosophy. He did achieve two points of clarity in distinguishing his own thought from Indian philosophy: the first was to focus on freedom, and thus he railed perpetually against the caste system; the second was to indicate the necessity for dialectical, progressive mediation, and thus he spoke in contrast on the stasis of Indian thought.

7. Integral Musings | Towards a Holistic Vision - The Roots of Race and Other Prejudices – M.S. Srinivasan - All the external “reformations” or “enlightenments” – social, political, cultural or eductaional – brings a certain amount of refinement to our surface conscious being but they don’t have much impact on these subconscious impressions. For example, every male, however broad-minded, enlightened, progressive, feminist on his surface mind, may have some residue of a raw, untouched chauvinism in his subconscious depths. These hidden subterranean prejudices can creep into our conscious mind or secretly influence our thoughts, feelings, behaviour and actions.
