    Aurobindo on Integral Yoga, Divinity and Truth and Its Relevance in Life
    (University of North Bengal, 2025) Aich, Bikram
    The main discussion of this paper is to highlight how Sri Aurobindo’s concept of integral yoga, divinity and truth are correlated concepts which jointly determine universal individuality, the objective of which is the realisation of the insights of the true meaning of life. The Life Divine of Sri Aurobindo itself manifests the divinity in life, and it states that divinity pervades everywhere, be in the mundane life or the spiritual life. Sri Aurobindo acknowledges the inner and outer life and then claims that divinity lies hidden in the inner life. All spiritual life is, in its principle, a growth into divine living. The inner life has a supreme spiritual importance, and the outer has a value only. A man thus dwells in the Divine, and he has realised the spiritual existence. The spiritual man living in the sense of spiritual self is in the realisation of the Divine within him and everywhere. The whole foundation of the gnostic life must be by its very nature inward and not outward. The main strategy of this paper is to envisage in what sense Sri Aurobindo's concept of Integral Yoga, Divinity and Truth has overcome the imperfect existence of a man and helped a man to become a universal individual transcendentally. One has to become a timeless, eternal being.
