Abstract

Sri Aurobindo lived four hundred years after Wang Yangming in a different civilization and another age. Yet there are parallels between the lives of these two thinkers and significant similarities between their philosophies. Central to the methods of practice advocated by both is the uncovering of a faculty of knowledge which we already possess, but normally allow to be obscured by our ordinary psychological movements. This faculty, the intuitive mind, has to emerge and be applied to all the activities of life. Methods for cultivating it have been developed under different names in both China and India. They can be found in ancient texts such as the Great Learning and the Bhagavadgītā as well as in the writings of Wang Yangming and Sri Aurobindo. Integral education would be incomplete if it does not include the cultivation of the intuitive mind.
