A Comparative Study of Spiritual Imagination in W. B. Yeats and Sri Aurobindo's Poetry

Abstract: Yeats's theosophical efforts awakened him to supernatural entities and soul elements of the universe especially in Irish tradition and mythology. Yeats developed visions of another world and aspired to metaphysically achieve spiritual and universal significance. Yeats concretely located the everlasting philosophies in spiritual and universal significance. In the process Yeats’s poetry is fielded with fertile, spiritual imagination to cast distinctive meaning of metaphysical and of spiritualism. The perennial pursuit of realization of His, his Sadhana awakened spiritual truth. Sri Anrobindo's poetry as Mantra poetry directly embodies visions of another world, illumined mind, awakened self and soul's vision of truth like a Sage. Sri Aurobindo embodied vital inspiration tor his poetry and intuitive inspiration are the characteristic means for all vision. Sri Aurobindo sublimates the overmind and overhead mind. The achievement is elevation of consciousness to reach Supermind and sat-chit-ananda, ecstasy. The spiritual imagination and creative consciousness are the realms for fertile poetic thoughts and images.
