What about Sri Aurobindo who spoke about Consciousness in The Life Divine way back in 1914?

But his assurances on Evolutionary forces and descent of supermind is the only plausible means. He wants our faith and voluntary collaboration.

Agree; we can't import reading material from outer space. So, if we make a comparative analysis of whatever is available on this planet, Sri Aurobindo scores very high, rather on the top. So, let's have faith in his words following Pascal's wager.
¨The Sanatana story is non-linear mingling of 1000s of ancient wisdom woven into each other.¨ A very nice and feel-good description, but what finally is followed is a set of superstitions. Sri Aurobindo discovered the rot long ago but his advice and warnings are yet to percolate.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo were acutely aware of the difficulties against the kind of ambitious goal that they had set for themselves. That some disciples stayed in the Ashram can´t be said to be of any significant help to them. But the historical importance is there like Togo´s.
Different religions are deploying enormous funds and manpower for propagation and image building. Savitri Era Religion too requires basic organisational framework for securing its place in the sun. Itś a collective yoga and devotees must come out of personal welfare sentiments.
You can restrict your activities but Savitri Era Party is all about politics. So, I don´t think I enjoy the luxury of reading fiction and relax.
[Sri Aurobindo wrote this, his only complete story, during the early part of his stay in Pondicherry, 1910-12.]

Your background is totally different from mine. So you needn't impose your ideas upon me. Please don't advise me on matters of reading. Continue to do your Sadhana undisturbed without disturbing me unnecessarily. Thanks.

Human civilisation has seen countless turbulences and Evolution has its own purpose behind such ups and downs. Itś trajectory is spiral, as Sri Aurobindo reminds. So examining history and events separated by centuries through preconceived lenses might not be an objective exercise
Sure but are you so sure of the choice? I don't think the present scenario is so clear.
Trojan horses galore among The Mother's devotees who worship other gods and goddesses. This is hypocrisy. Choose one and don't pollute the atmosphere by your presence. Sri Aurobindo has done enough of synthesis. So don't be eager to show your own synthesis between gods and gurus.
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo demand exclusive loyalty & unalloyed devotion. Those who harbour bhakti elsewhere better not waste time. Literary or academic engagement is welcome but pretending as a devotee is reprehensible. Never masquerade under the pretext that they didn't say so.
Integral Yoga has no specified system of practice but there's one unwritten law that it begins and ends with Surrender to The Mother. All other definitions are tangential. Opening of the Psychic Being or Descent of the Supramental Consciousness are subsequent stages of Sadhana.
Surrender is not easy to practice the way The Mother has recommended. Remember and Offer all the time is a tall order in day to day life. Yet whatever success is achieved is a great treasure. But the more important aspect is the central surrender without vacillation or comparison
Evolution of the next human race or advent of Supramental consciousness might seem highfalutin to others but to us itś the very reason for which we have offered our lives in the hands of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. We have nothing to substantiate yet, but they say itś inevitable.
Not to use portions of Sri Aurobindoś writings to justify your own pet doctrine but to strive to understand his message and his mission in its integrality should be the prime aim. The Mother too features here prominently encompassing the whole humanity. Many avoid to stress this.
Agree but mapping is so vital in undertaking any survey or even mountaineering. Otherwise, one may remain mired in pleasant seeming rest houses. The word Integral is the essence. Can be defined in multiple ways.
Let me reiterate that thereś no specific modality and any action can be considered as yoga. Each individual has his own trajectory and no certificate is necessary.
Many of the direct disciples were scholars. They wrote books and journal articles and argued with Sri Aurobindo too. Some of them are also poets. So thatś model of Integral yoga which Amal Kiran once labelled as Aesthetic yoga. Others worked in different departments of the Ashram
Thatś one way but not the only one. Some well known disciples are said to have surrendered their previously acquired siddhi at the feet of The Mother. The goal here is entirely different; to be as transparent and plastic as possible. Fifth chapter of The Mother book explains well
Replying to @kalisbrood and @mirra21_mala
Attained what? is my query. Integral Yoga is about constant evolution. All those who have accepted The Mother are practitioners; thereś no dichotomy. Your own attainment is yours; doesn´t apply to others, academic or unschooled.
[Twelve powers of The Mother:
Progress, Receptivity, Aspiration, Perseverance,
Gratitude, Humility, Sincerity, Peace,
Equality, Generosity, Goodness and Courage.
The first eight concern the attitude towards the Divine, and the last four towards humanity.]
