Letters of Sri Aurobindo

Volume I - Part 3

Fragment ID: 10392

Death is necessary in the evolution, because the body can progress no longer – cannot suffice any longer as an instrument for the progress or evolution of the consciousness – it has to change its physical instrument and get a new one. If something can be brought into the body that will make it a plastic instrument for the soul, then only death is no longer necessary. If the supramental transformation is complete that is what should happen.
