The psychic being is there in all, but in very few
is it well developed, well built up in the consciousness or prominent
in the front; in most it is veiled, often ineffective or only an influence,
not conscious enough or strong enough to support the spiritual life. SRI AUROBINDO |

People do not understand what I mean by
the psychic being, because the word psychic has been used in English to
mean anything of the inner mental, inner vital or inner physical or anything
abnormal or occult or even the more subtle movements of the outer being,
all in a jumble; also occult phenomena are often called psychic. The distinction
between these different parts of the being is unknown. Even in India the
old knowledge of the Upanishads in which they are distinguished has been
lost. The Jivatman, the psychic being (Purusha Antaratman), the Manomaya
Purusha, the Pranamaya Purusha are all confused together. SRI AUROBINDO |
