02. The Triple Transformation: Psychic – Spiritual – Supramental
Fragment ID: 2503
As1 thought rises in the scale, it ceases to be intellectual, becomes illumined, then intuitive, then overmental and finally disappears seeking the last Beyond. The poem does not express any philosophical thought, however; it is simply a perception of a certain movement, that is all.
“Pale blue” is the colour of the higher ranges of mind up to the intuition. Above it, it begins to become golden with the supramental Light.
1 This and the following letter were written in reference to “Thought the Paraclete”, a poem of Sri Aurobindo. See Sri Aurobindo, Collected Poems and Plays, Vol. II, p. 300.
