Like Hegel, who founded Dialectical Idealism and Marx, Dialectical Materialism, Aurobindo founded Dialectical Integralism.
According to Marx, society is an organic unity that is dialectically interrelated to the economic conditions. In short, Marxism or Egalitarianism, is an economics based philosophy.
According to Hegel, everything takes place by the dialectical process of Thesis, Anti Thesis and

Joe Perez said... hi alan - i'm looking forward to reading more aurobindo next year. i feel a kinship with your thoughts on aurobindo, wilber, etc, but hesitate to comment more because my knowledge of aurobindo is superficial. but I have studied Hegel in some degree of depth, and I find Aurobindo's prose to be more or less of the same difficulty. That is to say, extremely "abstract." And yet it is beautiful, more so than ... well, very much so. I hope you can find a way to communicate Aurobindo's genius in more plain language. joe 12:05 AMm alan kazlev said... Hi Joe, I have to say I have found ideas in your blog very helpful in further developing and widening my understanding of Integral and the Integral movement. Yes much of Sri Aurobindo's writings are heavy in style, perhaps because of
by RY Deshpande on Tue 27 Nov 2007 05:49 AM PST Alexander Pope (1688-1744), poet and critic belonging to the Augustan period, wrote his famous Essay on Man during 1733-34. The opening part of the Essay is at times entitled as The Riddle of the World, a phrase from the piece which runs as follows: Know then thyself, presume not God to scanThe proper study of Mankind is Man.Placed on this isthmus of a middle state,A Being darkly wise, and rudely great:With too much knowledge for the Sceptic side,With too much weakness for the Stoic's pride,He hangs between; in doubt to act, or rest;In doubt to deem himself a God, or Beast;In doubt his mind and body to prefer;Born but to die, and reas'ning but to err;Alike in ignorance, his reason such,Whether he thinks too little, or too much;Chaos of Thought and Passion, all confus'd;Still by himself, abus'd or disabus'd;Created half to rise and half to fall;Great Lord of all things, yet a prey to all,Sole judge of truth, in endless error hurl'd

He was born with Cancer rising, Jupiter and Mars in Cancer. Jupiter, the wisdom planet, was exalted in Cancer. Cancer represents the Heart of the Cosmic Man and Cancerians are tied and tuned to the Cosmic world.Jupiter is the planet of divinity and he has conferred Hamsa Maha Yoga, one of the best yogas in Astrology. The native born under Hamsa Yoga not only becomes religious, but will revive true Religion ! Due to the divine nature of Jupiter who had caused Hamsa Yoga, he had the confidence that every step was divinely ordained. The Roman emperor Augustus Caesar was, like him, born under Hamsa Yoga. A true Raja- Rishi or a Philosopher King, his reign was known as the Golden Age of Rome. Augustus founded the Religion of Numa, defined by Buchan as a probe into the mysteries of the Infinite and the Unknown.Like those ancient, orthodox Raja- Rishies, Aurobindo had consecrated all his efforts to divinise humanity !Saturn was in Sagittarius, indicating that a foreign lady will join in his m
Shankara was an Illusionist; Aurobindo was a Realist ( "Maya is real, because it is the Self's experience of the Self" )The term assigned by Sankara to the whole process of creation was Maya. Aurobindo, on the other hand, called it Leela or the play of the Divine. Leela includes the idea of Maya and exceeds it !" This is our Eternal Lover luring us to Himself, through all these flashy masks of Himself, through all this shimmering blazes of His eternal and ineffugable Self-Existence " said the Master !
As is evident from the history of evolution, it has taken aeons to develop Life out of Matter on this earth itself. The process must have been gradual and extremely slow and yet each point in the upward movement getting materialised in a state of transformation from Matter into Life. So must be the case with the range from Mind to Supermind.Sri Aurobindo has delineated four distinct stages in the midst of the two. These he named as Higher Mind, Illumined Mind, Intuition and Overmind. Vedic gods and goddesses, in his view, are assignable to one or the other of these stages or even to the sub-section of any one of them. The Ŗgvedic story of seer Dadhyan learning Madhu-Vidyā from Indra and imparting the same to the Aśvins with the horse’s head is illustrative of the point involved here.This significant role of gods and goddesses has been kept couched in a thick garb of symbols not discernible to the ordinary mind. It is as thick as the Nature herself, only letting it to be discernibl
Sri Aurobindo has taken care of almost all the aspects of Vedic symbolism including seers, metres, gods and goddesses. He indeed has put forth a symbolic system which has the potentiality of explaining comprehensively and homogeneously everything in the Veda. This system was evolved in course of his intensive yogic sādhanā resulting on the one hand in the making of his own philosophical system known as integral Vedanta and on the other in the formulation of his view of the Veda particularly the symbolism involved in it. While the crux of his philosophical system is embodied in his magnum opus, The Life Divine, his theory of Vedic symbolism is formulated in his Secret of the Veda, both these works were serialised in the Arya concurrently during the years 1914-20. To understand his theory of the symbolism, it is essential to have some idea of his philosophical system which in itself seems to have been formulated as much by his understanding of the Veda from within its symbolic system a
Vedic symbols are to be interpreted not in isolation but in relationship to each other. This is one of the basic propositions of Sri Aurobindo in course of his discussion on Angirasa. Working of this formula is to be seen in the sequel in regard to the same Angirasa legend with a view to determine the particular sense or system of ideas it might have been intended to communicate, as per Sri Aurobindo’s explanation.Sri Aurobindo starts his deliberation on this legend with the cognisance of the fact that Angirasas occur in the Veda as seers, Fathers and gods all at the same time. In Ŗgveda V.11.6, for instance, Angirasas are said to have discovered Agni from within the forests and at the same time Agni itself has been addressed as Angiras, the son of force arising out of churning and becoming a force by itself (Rigveda, V.11.6.). It is significant to note that in the same mantra the Angirasas have been taken both as seers and god Agni.In another mantra they are described as the sons o
Sri Aurobindo provided us with the clue to the understanding of Vedic accounts in general as centring around the gods like Agni, Indra, Soma, Aśvins, Mitra, Varuņa and Bŗhaspati, and goddesses like Sarasvatī and Uşas as also objects like cow, horse, gold, water and light, and he proceeds further to explain certain legends germane to the Vedic thought involving the interaction of almost all the above mentioned forces and objects together and therefore potent enough to show the working of the meanings assigned to each one of these agencies and objects together synthetically. Most prominent among them, in Sri Aurobindo’s view, is Angiras. As such, he deals with it at length.The legend of Angiras involves the working of several gods and goddesses such as Indra, Brhaspati, Aśvins, Soma, Vāyu, Agni, Pūşan, Uşas and Sarasvatī. The basic problem ith legend is the confinement of cows by some adversaries in a certain cave. The names of those who have kept confined the cows are Vŗtr
After the Upanişads and Yāska, Sri Aurobindo is the most revealing light on the symbolism used in the Veda. There is a colossal difference not only of time from the Upanişads and Yāska to Sri Aurobindo. As regards the Upanişads, they came immediately after the Vedic Samhitās but for the intervention of the Brāhmaņas and the Āraņyakas and in certain cases without any such intervention at all. As such, they were most intimate to the spirit of the seers. The students who came to the Upanişadic sages for higher knowledge were well versed in the Vedas. Under these circumstances, the Upanişadic sage had only to hand over to them the key to this citadel of knowledge in the form of precise hints and suggestions and the whole thing became obvious to the student already fully charged with inquisitiveness.More or less, the same conditions prevailed during the age of Yāska. No doubt, a considerable course of time had passed and consequently the Vedic words, phrases and idioms were bec
