A Rare Synthesis in Sri Aurobindo

Sri Aurobindo represents that rarest of the rare type of super-humanity who beautifully combined and synthesized within his single personality what we find as opposites. Poetry and Literature on the one side, Sri Aurobindo has in his personality also an astute scientist who has experimented day and night with the workings of the spiritual Force and their results in the laboratory of his room in Pondicherry. There were many other types of synthesis that we discover in Sri Aurobindo, a synthesis of materialism and spirituality, of world and God, of eastern and western thoughts among many others. Today we share an interesting account of this side of Sri Aurobindo given by a physicist and Sri Aurobindo’s letter revealing this side of his personality.
