DELIBERATIONS ON MACBETH: AN INVERTED TREATMENT OF SRI AUROBINDO’S SATCHITANANDA Roshan Johri 

Abstract: Sri Aurobindo in his canon of philosophical musings defines the antithetical paradox of involution. A sort of divine manifestation of matter which allows the material to access the divine itself. His idea conceives the physical world as a mere effect of a sort of universal cause which seems to be omnipresent in the crevices of human understanding, but it is so that it remains curtained to the naked (un-intellectual) eye. To go so further, Aurobindo holds an opinion of Shakespeare of such manner that he delineates Shakespeare from not having the ability to reflect a similar philosophy as himself, for his characters are nothing but the creation of pure Dionysian spirit. Aurobindo highlights and explicates his musings as of perfecting a sort of heightened intellect which forms the basis of a deeper, more stratified understanding of the material world. He seeks to explain the experience of matter in an inverted manner which allows one to access and attain what he calls super consciousness. This heightened spiritual awareness is what Aurobindo is unable to identify in the dramatic renditions of Shakespeare and it’s this that I will try to reconceptualize and explore as a sort of Aurobindonian palinode in Macbeth. In this paper, I will attempt to apply Aurobindo’s concept of Evolution and Satchitananda to Macbeth. I will also try to identify the inverted treatment of Satchitananda and prove, that Shakespeare, in his dramatic creations after all, wasn’t as removed from philosophy as worded by Sri Aurobindo.

"Many readers of Sri Aurobindo consider him a theist ... but it does not do justice to the complexity of his position. He was a theist who wrote on the value of atheism, a gnostic who understood the utility of agnosticism." Peter Heehs #SriAurobindo feelphilosophy.blogspot.com/2022/10/sri-au
