Sri Aurobindo's The Life Divine

Matter The necessity of Sense It is interesting to conceptualize how the Supreme Consciousness which in itself is subtle, ethereal and a purely metaphysical construct can translate itself into Matter which is gross and solid and defies all norms of subtlety. Moreover, Matter is arranged into divisible forms which excel in uniqueness at the cost of the inalienable unity that marks the Superconscious. No doubt Matter has been produced by a creative Mind obliged to carry on “the principle of multiplicity to its extreme potential which can only be done by separativeness and division”. (The Life Divine, Pg.251)
