Sri Aurobindo — Patel, Govindbhai

July 27, 1932

July 27, 1932

The Supermind has nothing to do with passing into a blank. It is the mind over passing its own limits and following a negative and quietistic way to do it that reaches the big blank. The Mind, being the Ignorance, has to annul itself in order to enter into the Supreme Truth — or, at least, so it thinks. But, the Supermind being the Truth-consciousness and the Divine Knowledge, has no need to annul itself for the purpose.
