Sri Aurobindo

Letters of Sri Aurobindo

Volume I - Part 5

Fragment ID: 10653

What was said¹ was that Krishna as a manifestation on earth opened the possibility of the Overmind consciousness here to men and stood for that, as Rama was the incarnation in mental Man. If Krishna was an overmind “God”, that means he was not an Incarnation, not the Divine, but somebody else who claimed to be the Divine – i.e. he was a god who somehow thought he was God.

¹ The correspondent asked, “Why is it said that Krishna is an Overmind God?” – Ed.
