There are several aspects and facets of Sri Aurobindo’s vast and complex personality, namely poet, philosopher, revolutionary, journalist, visionary, seer, yogi. But what is the essential core of his being, the central lever of his immense personality so to say? On one side we see him as an embodiment of tyaga (renunciation) and tapasya (concentrated spiritual endeavour). On the other hand we see his tremendous compassion for earth and humanity.
If the whole being could simultaneously advance in its progressive transformation, keeping pace with the inner march of the universe, there would be no illness, there would be no death.
