Letters of Sri Aurobindo

Volume I - Part 5

Fragment ID: 10575

Vayu and Indra are cosmic godheads presiding over the action of cosmic principles – they are not the manomaya purusha or pranamaya purusha in each man. You have a mental being or purusha in you and a vital being or purusha, but you cannot say that you are in your mind Indra or in your vital Vayu. The Purusha is an essential being supporting the play of Prakriti – the Godhead (Indra, Vayu) is a dynamic being manifested in Prakriti for the works of the plane to which he belongs. There is an immense difference.
