Abstract

Evidently, while reading The Life Divine along with Sri Aurobindo’s other writings on yoga and several scriptures of Āgamic/Tantric origin, one may discern that there can be yet another more comprehensive universe of discourse—referring to the domain beyond mental level, signifying the higher aspects of the multidimensional vastness of real world—where mundane morality simply fails to retain its further utility. Moral injunctions are assignable only to the transitional stage of evolution i.e. humans as mental beings. Such injunctions do not apply to two spheres of evolution, viz. the infra-ethical and the supra-ethical. Ethics is applicable, exclusively to the world of human beings organizing their lives in the level of mind. Nevertheless, this world of mental beings signifies an intermediate transitional stage of evolution. There is a higher and fundamental dimension of reality—beyond the world of duality—wherein categories and dichotomy of ethics remain simply inappropriate. Such wonderful domain of existence transcends the status of moral being. Briefly, the present paper identifies and deals with the realms of inappositeness of moral codes and categories within the integral philosophy of Sri Aurobindo.
