Sri Aurobindo’s Evolutionary Philosophy

The word evolution has many meanings.  There is physical-material evolution (chemical, biological, social, technological, cosmic), an Imaginal (subtle-physical and etheric) evolution, and a spiritual evolution, including evolution of the Divine Soul. All these aspects of evolution ultimately lead to a greater and greater embodiment of the Good, no matter how much to the contrary things may sometimes appear down here. The ultimate goal is the Divinisation of the universe.
