Sri Aurobindo as a philosopher blends Western ideas and Indian metaphysical traditions. This further synthesises the material and the spiritual. His ideas associated with spiritual evolution and the emergence of a higher consciousness in humanity are relevant in the contemporary world; especially in the fields of psychology, philosophy and spirituality. The current study aims at evaluating the comprehensive metaphysical framework of Aurobindo in select texts, focusing primarily on the notion of integral yoga alongside its role in the teleological progression of human consciousness. It further addresses how Aurobindo's integral approach unifies the bodily, cognitive, vital consciousness and superphysical levels of being in order to direct humanity towards a higher consciousness. This will be achieved by employing an explorative and qualitative approach. The paper delves into answering key questions raise associated with the transformative approach that integral yoga offers and its relevance in the modern materialistic world. The paper promotes the significance of Aurobindo's integral yoga by exploring the integration of the tripartite structure of body, mind, and spirit. This area is less researched as integral yoga and its application in practical life remain unexplored. However, the paper limits itself to two texts by Aurobindo- The Life Divine and The Synthesis of Yoga. Further qualitative, comparative and quantitative research can be conducted on the historical political or the influence of Aurobindo's works specifically on mental health.
