The Essence of Sri Aurobindo will be presented in two summaries; one called the Bare Bones and the other Bones With Flesh. I have chosen these titles so as to contrast them with the ultimate summary, The Full Robust Body Of Truth, which to me will only be found in the depths of our own inner selves.

My reason for writing these is twofold: To give an outline of Sri Aurobindo's works to those who want only the bare essentials, and to give a deeper more comprehensive picture to those who want more, but not too much more.

As life unfolds its drama to the eyes, and our joys and pains easily exchange, it would be wise to remember the fact that, the compliment heard, the song of the bird, the friendly clasp, the dagger in the back, the child's contagious smile, the repulsive and the vile, the slap on the face, the love and its grace, the hideous whip or the dreadful rod come not from another - other than God.
