Direction (Q. Nos. 1-4) : 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.
The Life Divine exalts and envisages :
knowledge of spiritual truth
Sri Aurobindo’s The Life Divine is presented in the passage as a spiritual discourse written by a seer. It is described as a work that reveals the ‘limitless vision of truth and power of human consciousness’ and leads the reader to the ‘pinnacle’ of the author’s expressions.
What the book exalts, then, is a higher, spiritual truth reached through expanded consciousness. The passage contrasts this with the ‘perceived human conceptions’ that consciousness overrules, so the work celebrates knowledge of spiritual truth rather than ordinary understanding.
Perceived human conceptions are what the work moves beyond, not what it exalts. Consciousness of the material world is never praised; the passage looks to the subtle plane and eternity instead. Social relations are not discussed at all; the focus is the individual and collective psyche at a universal, spiritual level.
knowledge of spiritual truth option is correct.
