Supramentalisation as the Final Step in Integral Yoga. ... the one way to the luminous transformation of even the lowest obscurities of the physical lies in bringing down the Supermind (universal spirit) and getting it into unveiled operation in the lowest regions. And consequently, the one way to the outflowering of the Divine in collective humanity lies in bringing down the Supermind and making it a permanent ingredient in the evolving earth-consciousness. It is thus evident that the final step in the complete divine dynamisation of Nature must be the supramental transformation of the entire being, or, in one word, supramentalisation. It is this crowning phase of Supramentalisation alone that can usher into existence a new era of the unveiled manifestation of the Spirit in the material universe. Universalisation and Transcendalisation of Being A glimpse of the cosmic consciousness is not enough; the sadhaka (practitioner of yoga) has got to enter into it (cosmic universality) and directly realise his essential identity with it, the individual Self being only a centre of working in the universal Spirit. When a man's nature is universalised, he feels himself within all the countless multitude of beings that breathe and also feels them all within himself. There is a breaking down of the barrier of exclusive particularity, and, in consequence, a direct and active contact with the currents of universal life. (Prof. Haridas Chaudhuri, Sri Aurobindo: Prophet of Life Divine)
