MYSTIQUE OF AN EVOLVING UNIVERSE
Creation implies the perpetual transformation of the potential into the actual,
which means that it is a continuous process of the self-unfoldment of a secret
Truth in accordance with an innate rhythm.
Devānām yuge prathame'sataḥ sad ajayata
tad āṣā anv ajāyanta tad uttanapadas
pari.1
In the beginning, the manifest comes out of the Unmanifest; thence are born all
the regions and after that follow the further evolved creation.
The universe is a progressive becoming of Being embracing many yugas or
cycles of Truth-action.

THE VISION OF REALITY
The Veda is a timeless revelation. The great spiritual tradition of India looks to its origin as apauruṣeya, non-human. And the mantras are encompassed as the sound-formulations of the seer-visions of the Supreme as also profound expressions of the revelations granted to the Rishis. They are assumed to be the many manifestations of the Word that embody the supreme vision of Oneness and incarnate the secret interconnectedness of gods and men and incorporate in a harmonious manner their mutuality and integral solidarity.
The Transcendent One, tad ekam, is the supreme source and support of all Multiplicity.

IV
THE INTEGRAL THEOPHANY
An integral vision of the integral Divine and an integral Yoga to realise it is the most self-fulfilling and self-effectuating gift of Sri Aurobindo to the human race.
All spiritual visions have a significance and a power of their own, and the vision of the Divine has a cosmic and supracosmic significance as well as an unrestricted power of its own. It is an experience, mi generis, of the Divine Himself, an experience of the Self everywhere, in everything and as everything. It helps the seeker to cater a larger, freer Self as well as the worlds behind and beyond the physical universe. It opens the 'third eye' as it were

The Rishi offers his salutations to the bounties of Nature, the leaders and regulators of the cosmic order that they may make him pure and competent of cosmic worship. Creation itself is the result of sacrifice; it is sustained and supported by increasing sacrifice. And the gods too were created by the sacrifice of Aditi. It is by sacrif

THE ASCENT TO THE TRUTH
An involution of the Supreme in the apparent inconscient Matter is the cause and
the starting-point of evolution. But that supreme Reality is infinite Existence,
Consciousness and Bliss; evolution must as such be an emergence of this embodied
Existence, Consciousness, Bliss.
It is therefore the prerogative and mission of man not only to predicate and
profess himself in the universe but also to evolve and to perpetually transcend
himself. He has not only to realise his individuality but also to expand it into
a cosmic self. This implies self-evolution and self-exceeding from his present
actual limited nature t

THE INCREASING EPIPHANY
A Divine Reality that is involved in Matter is essentially an infinite and
eternal Existence, Consciousness, Bliss. Evolution then is an imperative
emergence in forms that progressively express the manifold felicity of the
concealed Sachchidananda.

INSCRUTABLE AMBIVALENCE
There is an inscrutable ambivalence in creation, an inbuilt tension that spells out the secret of the evolutionary process. Good and Evil, gods and the demons - the constructive and destructive forces, the expansive and restrictive energies in Nature - motion and stability, Immanence and Transcendence are constitutionally correlated and held together by a divine harmony for a divine purpose. Thus are cosmic order and a cosmic purpose sustained, promoted and fulfilled by the presence of a dynamic dichotomy. The antinomies are by nature impelled to 'work together in concerted action' towards the fulfilment of a common animus. Co

Volume Three
THE VEDIC FULFILMENT
It has been rightly observed that if one leg of the arch of human destiny is in the Veda the other is in 'The Life Divine'. For what has been envisioned and announced by the ancient Rishis finds its victorious consummation and fulfilment in Sri Aurobindo.
