Sri Aurobindo

Letters of Sri Aurobindo

SABCL 26

Fragment ID: 8188

Q: What is the difference between a death in the Ashram and a death outside? Does one get more benefit in the form of development of mind and other parts on the subtle planes so that one may get a better new birth?

A: I am not aware of any “development of mental” etc. in their planes; the development takes place on earth. The mental and other planes are not evolutionary.

The one who dies here is assisted in his passage to the psychic world and helped in his future evolution towards the Divine.
