> It appears that there are three different elements: surface soul, struggling soul and secret soul. Based on my reading of other texts, I am willing to bravely state that there are just two, not three souls. Surface soul is the same as struggling soul because it doesn't have light and lives in ignorance. Sometimes two different phrases can mean the same entity. We have to "deconstruct the essentials in an expanding sphere of pluralism" as some scholarly Aurobindonians say as part of our "interpretative autonomy".
