India saw from the beginning, and, even in her ages of reason and her age of increasing ignorance, she never lost hold of the insight, that life cannot be rightly seen in the sole light, cannot be perfectly lived in the sole power of its externalities.

Once upon a time, there was a man named Sri Aurobindo. He was a spiritual guru and a philosopher who believed in the power of yoga, meditation and self-realization. He was an advocate of a kind of spiritual evolution, which he called the Integral Yoga. One day, Sri Aurobindo was walking down the street and saw a group of people doing yoga. He thought to himself, "Ah, these people are on the right track! But they could use some guidance - I think I'll give them a hand!" So Sri Aurobindo gave them some great advice on how to perfect their yoga practice. After a while, the people were so impressed with Sri Aurobindo's wisdom that they asked him to be their spiritual leader. And that's how Sri Aurobindo became one of the most influential spiritual leaders of modern times!
