We have tried to apply logical, rational solutions to mankind’s problems. After thousands of years, we can now recognize the failure of these ideas. We have reached a stage of gridlock in our political process as opposing views are treated as irreconcilable. We change economic systems and governments, but the limitations of humanity intervene. What is needed is a change of consciousness that will allow us to look within and “know thyself” as the sages have proclaimed. Readings in Sri Aurobindo’s The Future Evolution of Man is a focused, step-by-step review of Sri Aurobindo’s writings on this subject with extracts from The Life Divine, The Synthesis of Yoga and The Human Cycle. This text acts as a guidebook to the human evolutionary process and its potential for solving our existential crisis in the world today.
