Abstract

The present paper titled “Spiritual Philosophy in the Poetry of Sri Aurobindo” is a modest attempt to elucidate the tropes of spiritual philosophy in the poetry of Sri Aurobindo. Sri Aurobindo has set his place and principles with his acute writing and exploration of spiritual philosophy. Aurobindo was a preacher of spiritual philosophy. He was an instructor, a radiant scholar, a lyricist, a political leader of his time, a commentator and journalist, a highly philosopher and thinker, a playwright, a literary critic, a reader, translator and true forecaster and interpreter of the Vedas, the Gita and the Upanishads. His writings and works present a new and pioneering way to follow for the entire humanity. The present paper reveals that the poetry of Sri Aurobindo is an experimentation of his spiritual journey. It is an experiment with life to discover its wonders and mysteries. It is a spiritual journey to self-discovery, that is to say, freedom from the limitation brought about by ego-sense and discovery of one’s true identity. As a result of this spiritual adventure, the poet comes into possession of a luminous poetic vision that adds beauty and authenticity to his poetic expression.
