"Man is a transitional being", said Sri Aurobindo. Today's human being is gradually going to be succeeded by another being who will have a consciousness far beyond mind's. This supra-consciousness which Sri Aurobindo has called the "Supramental" consciousness has been at work on earth for some time now. The future course of man's life, his modes of perception, his knowledge will gradually open to the workings and demands of this new consciousness which is already latent in man. To prepare the future generations for this change of consciousness, for this 'new world' which is going to take birth -- an appropriate education had to be developed, the basic principles and major guidelines of which are revealed in the works of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. This comprehensive book has attempted to bring together all the significant writings of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother on education, not only on what is meant by the word "education" today but what it would imply in the future with the gradual emergence of the new consciousness.
