Relations which are part of the ordinary
vital nature in human life are of no value
in the spiritual life — they rather interfere
with the progress; for the mind and vital also
should be wholly turned towards the Divine.
Moreover, the purpose of sadhana is to enter
into a spiritual consciousness and base
everything on a new spiritual basis which
can only be done when one has entered into
complete unity with the Divine. Meanwhile
one has to have a calm goodwill for all, but
relations of a vital kind do not help — for
they keep the consciousness down on a vital
basis and prevent its rising to a higher level.

— Sri Aurobindo
