Letters of Sri Aurobindo

5. Planes and Parts of the Being

Fragment ID: 332

The body is not the individual self – it is the basis of the external personality or of the physical self, if you like so to express it; but that is not the individual self. The individual self is the central being (Jivatma) manifesting in the lower nature as the psychic being – it is directly a portion of the Divine.
