Sri Aurobindo — Doshi, Nagin

1933-34

Vital thought expresses vital movements, the play of vital forces – it does not think freely and independently of them as the thinking mind can do. The true thinking mind can stand above the vital movements, watch and observe and judge them freely as it would observe and judge outside things. In most men however the thinking mind (reason) is invaded by the vital mind and not free.
