Shreyas

A spiritual account of the physical, psychic, and mental transformation by a courageous soul.

These are notes—not a book. But the immediacy and blow-by-blow struggles by the consort of Aurobindo (The Mother) is a fascinating account of her direct experience with the process of spiritual descent into the physical, psychic and mental transformation of a dedicated and courageous practitioner. If you are drawn to Aurobindo and the Mother’s work but reading the Agenda’s is too daunting, Notes on the Way, is good nighttime reading for inspiration, understanding and as a touchstone to your own experience as a practitioner.

Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2002

Just as the man was, so was his way of looking at the world, nature, humanity and civilization - revolutionary, in a word. Known as the prophet of Supermind, a level of consciousness higher than the mental one so far manifested in the terrestrial evolution in humans, in this short book he shatters our mental prejudiced notions, conventions and habits that are and will remain the hindrance for the Supramental Transformation, which he says man is ultimately destined to undergo.
Highly recommended, if you can withstand the perpetual shocks and jolts to conventional ideas about morality, goodness and even idealism. This book will, in time, stand alongside Socrates', The Buddha's and Christ's messages as milestones in humanity's progress towards divinity. Better yet if you can get a copy with The Mother's commentary on the book in Q & A format, as and when they occurred to young children in Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry, India.
Finally, a correction - Sri Aurobindo was not the editor but the author of this work.
