This episode covers the 21, 22, 23 and 24th paragraphs of the chapter ‘The Threefold Life’ from the book The Synthesis of Yoga by Sri Aurobindo. (https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/23/the-threefold-life )

This episode discusses the limitations of viewing spiritual life as solely focused on individual liberation. Sri Aurobindo shows that true spiritual fulfilment involves transforming the material world itself. Historically, India has prioritised spiritual pursuits but at the cost of societal progress. He says this is a compromise, not a perfect solution. Sri Aurobindo proposes a new approach where spiritual truths can be used to uplift both the individual and society as a whole.

Sri Aurobindo's monumental work, "The Synthesis of Yoga," deconstructs and synthesises the rich diversity of Indian yoga traditions. It culminates in his revolutionary Integral Yoga, a powerful vision and method for transforming human nature through the power of the divine Shakti, revealing Earth's potential for evolutionary transformation.
