... then man gets his first real chance of achieving spirituality in his inner and outer life. It will not be enough, but it will be a commencement, a true gate and not a blind entrance.

... He has even shown how we can advance from the past towards the new. The third task, Sri Aurobindo has said, is to deal with the contemporary problems in a new manner, and to realise a spiritualised society. These are the three tasks, of which the last one, he said, is the most difficult task. And the proportion to which India can accomplish these three tasks — to that extent India will have fulfilled... Aurobindo and the Mother have initiated the Page 44 third task, and this great seat called Auroville is India's effort inviting the whole world to meet and attempt to create a spiritualised society. But these last two tasks will depend very largely upon the recovery — the first task — the recovery of the ancient spiritual knowledge. It is a very difficult terrain. It is so complex ...

But before such a spiritualised society could come into existence, much serious work needs to be done, and human nature has to climb up from the infra-rational to the rational and from the rational to spiritual consciousness. It ...

... content in Sri Aurobindo's vision of the education of the future. The revealing and finding of the divine Self in man should, in Sri Aurobindo's view, be "the whole first aim of all its [the spiritualised society's] activities, its education, its knowledge, its science, its ethics, its art, its economical and political structure." (SABCL, Vol. 15, p. 240) But how to fulfil this aim? Surely not... in its application. For, then, education reduces itself to the task of culturing the mental faculties of the student, training him into an efficient, productive and well-disciplined member of the society and the State as a political, social and economic being.

Page 20 Or, at its best, education is planned to turn the mostly infrarational human being into a rational creature, and the disordered human group into a rationalised human society.

Otherwise we may simply come back to an old idea of individual and social living which had its greatness, but did not provide all the conditions of our perfection. That was the idea of a spiritualised typal society. It proceeded upon the supposition that each man has his own peculiar nature which is born from and reflects one element of the divine nature. The character of each individual, his ethical... the theory—worked upon this supposition. It divided man in society into the fourfold order—an at once spiritual, psychic, ethical and economic order—of the Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Shudra,—practically, the spiritual and intellectual man, the dynamic man of will, the vital, hedonistic and economic man, the material man; the whole society organised in these four constituent classes represented the ...
