4. "The Divine Plan" published - along with short essays by Sri Aurobindo, in the little booklet The Hour of God has four distinct hierarchical categories of levels - Avayakta Paratpara, Eternal Manifestation, Manifestation in Eternal Time and Manifestation in Temporal Time- Can these four categorizations be elaborated upon? Also it would be very helpful if Savitri can be put in perspective in context to the diagram. (especially the Book XI) The Mother has described the origin of this diagram in the Agenda July 28 1961

In The Hour of God, there's a whole diagram of the Manifestation made by Sri Aurobindo [[Cent. Ed., Vol. XVII, p. 28 ff. ]] : first comes this, then comes that, then comes the other, and so forth - a whole sequence. They published this in the book in all seriousness, but I must say that Sri Aurobindo did it for fun (I saw him do it). Someone had spoken to him about different religions, different philosophical methods - Theosophy, Madame Blavatski, all those people (there was Theon, too). Well, each one had made his diagram. So Sri Aurobindo said, 'I can make a diagram, too, and mine will be much more complete!' When he finished it, he laughed and said, 'But it's only a diagram, it's just for fun.' They published it very solemnly, as if he had made a very serious proclamation. Oh, it's a very complicated diagram!

Notwithstanding the humour, there may be some truth in that diagram but all I can say right now is that the answer to this question may only be found after we reach a certain level of consciousness.
