During 1949-1950 Sri Aurobindo dictated a series of articles, his last prose writings touching upon the latest achievement in the field of his Yoga. The picture of the process leading to supramental evolution was becoming clearer and definite; the details had been so sufficiently worked out that they could be stated with a confident finality; the yoga-tapasya has progressed to the subtle physical where once it is established the fuller possibility could be realised in the material world: the evolutionary march had arrived at the point where the appearance of a new humanity had become a good plausibility, an event that was in fact about to take place. This new humanity is going to be an intermediate state between the mental man and the supramental being who will ultimately be the leader of the transformed world-order. Several aspects of the modus operandi were crystallised at this stage; the unknown vast tracts between Overmind and Supermind extensively explored, and traversed, to get an occult hold on the new process. Even a last sacrifice, if needed, was to be made. In this process, Sri Aurobindo saw an important place for the Mind of Light occupying in the scheme of things. It will create an order of beings who will form an intermediate race, a race with the physical mind prepared to receive the supramental. That is to say, the presently covert supermind in the material world will open out to directly receive in evolution the supermind proper for its full dynamic play here: It is the involved supermind in the physical that is going to receive the superconscient supermind leading to the assured glory of a fully transformed divine life.
