Selected sonnets by the outstanding Indian sage, thinker, and seer-poet Sri Aurobindo are, in fact, the diary of a great yogi, where his main spiritual experiences and realizations are reflected in a brilliant poetic form. The works presented here are a mantra— that is, a word of revelation, a word of reality—allowing the listener to share the inspired insights expressed in these poems. I hope these wonderful sonnets will serve you as a means of contact with the higher realities that come alive in their magnificent, penetrating lines.
