162 – Evolution is not finished; reason is not the last word nor the reasoning animal the supreme figure of Nature. As man emerged out of the animal, so out of man the superman emerges.
I would like to see the English to know which tense Sri Aurobindo used for the verb émerge — whether it is present or future?
If it is in the future, it is a promise we all know and for
whose realisation we are working. If it is in the present... I have
nothing to add.
