Letters of Sri Aurobindo

5. Planes and Parts of the Being

Fragment ID: 404

The outer consciousness is shut up in the body limitation and in the little bit of personal mind and sense dependent on the body – it sees only the outward, sees only things. But the inner consciousness can see behind the thing, it is aware of the play of forces, personal or universal – for it is in conscious touch with the universal action.
