TH 172: Conditions for the Coming of Spiritual Age

A talk at the 47th All Orissa Sri Aurobindo Study Circle Conference, Matrubhaban, Cuttack, in 2017.

There are two aspects of human development. Both of them march together. They are the Individual life and the collective or social life. All the fields of life can be elevated to spiritual life. In India art, science, spirituality and politics everything used to be integrated for the perfection of life. But the tendency of human nature is that whenever any higher spiritual truth is revealed, man tries to formulate it into some kind of religion and the truth vanishes slowly. This talk is about this double aspect of our evolution viz the individual and social transformation of earthly life.
