Supermind

In Sri Aurobindo’s thought, the truth-consciousness above mind, whose descent will transform human nature.

Yoga, Sāṃkhya, Tantra and devotion

Sri Aurobindo described a hierarchy of consciousness rising from matter through life and mind to higher planes, of which the supermind is the summit, a truth-consciousness that knows unity and diversity at once. He taught that its descent into the earth would bring about a new, divinized humanity.
