Subject: Sri Aurobindo

m> I post a complete text of Sri Aurobindo's small book (lecture notes?)

 But it doesn't prove that Sri Aurobindo belongs to theosophical
tradition. Terms used there don't match in meaning with theosophical
ones. More than that, it controverses with Bhagavad-gita in some
points.

Immortalize body. What for? For preserving astral & mental bodies (by
keeping an attratcion center) left by higher self and avoid getting
into 8th sphere. ;)

In this paragraph he completely dissociates himself from a heritage
of both Buddha & Shankaracharya. And shows that he wasn't acquainted
enough with both mayavada & shunyavada.
