Read the passage and answer the questions given below it :
The Life Divine is a masterpiece that reveals Sri Aurobindo’s vivid deliberation and divine creativity about ‘human consciousness’. It is the source of relentless human activity and development. This paper spotlights the literary promise of fresh contemplative ways on the work of Sri Aurobindo as a spiritual discourse. Sri Aurobindo’s exposure to the higher dynamics in the philosophy of thought empowered him to deal with the interesting topic of individual and collective psyche at universal level with great ease. The word ‘eternity’ in this context suggests the boundless freedom of powerful human consciousness that has supremacy over perceived human conceptions dispelling the unwanted to enter the blissful arena of eternity of human expression. Eventually, it leads all of us to reach the pinnacle of Sri Aurobindo’s unfathomable expressions.
The Life Divine discusses the conception of higher aesthetics envisaged by Sri Aurobindo as a seer. The indefatigable spirit of the seer enriches every sphere of description as he explained it in his The Future Poetry. According to Aurobindo “the most pronounced force of expression” takes its flight from “the subtle plane through the creative vital” as it uses the outer mind and other external instruments for transmission only. The Life Divine is a consummate example for his ability of creating the limitless vision of truth and power of human consciousness, without employing any artificial enforcing machinery in the process of transmission.
