Aphorism - 128, 129
128Live according to Nature, runs the maxim of the West; but according to what nature, the nature of the body or the nature which exceeds the body? This first we ought to determine.
129O son of Immortality, live not thou according to Nature, but according to God; and compel her also to live according to the deity within thee.
What does Sri Aurobindo mean here by the nature which exceeds the body?
The nature which exceeds the body is the nature which goes on living even after the disappearance of the body; it is the psychic nature which is immortal and divine in essence. The psychic can and must become conscious of the Divine at its centre and consciously unite with Him.
