Sri Aurobindo, or the Adventure of Consciousness

381 pp. The age of adventure is over. Even if we go to the seventh galaxy we shall go there masked and mechanized, and we shall find ourselves once again such as we are: children in front of death, living beings who do not know very well how they are going.... We are hence pushed to the wall before the last ground that remains for us to explore, the final adventure: ourselves. -Satprem
