This book is addressed to all young people who, I urge will study and respond to the following message of Sri Aurobindo:
"It is the young who must be the builders of the new world, — not those who accept the competitive individualism, the capitalism or the materialistic communism of the West as India's future ideal, nor those who are enslaved to old religious formulas and cannot believe in the acceptance and transformation of life by the spirit, but all those who are free in mind and heart to accept a completer truth and labour for a greater ideal. They must be men who will dedicate themselves not to the past or the present but to the future. They will need to consecrate their lives to an acceding of their lower self, to the realisation of God in themselves and in all human beings and to a whole minded and indefatigable labour for the nation and for humanity."
(Sri Aurobindo, "The Supramental Manifestation Upon Earth' Vol. 16, SABCL, p.331)

This book is primarily a critical examination of the denials that stand in the way of the quest for the highest and the best. Eventually, it is an introduction to the theme of the supramental manifestation in Matter. This theme, which covers the main substance of the works of Sri Aurobindo (1872-1950) and the Mother (1878-1973), invites the contemporary pilgrim of today to continue his quest. The highest and the best are, according to Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, attainable by means of their Integral Yoga, which is new in its objects and its methods, although it incorporates the lessons of the past yogic efforts of humanity.
It is hoped this book will lead the reader to study the works of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. The most important works of Sri Aurobindo are: 'The Synthesis of Yoga', 'The Life Divine', 'Record of Yoga', 'The Supramental Manifestation Upon Earth',' The Secret of the Veda',' Upanishads', 'Essays on the Gita' and 'Savitri'. The most important works of the Mother are: 'Prayers and Meditations', 'Conversations', 'Questions and Answers', and 'Mother's Agenda' (13 volumes).
