In Sri Aurobindo's philosophy the Absolute is identified with :

  • A.Ćitta-Śakti
  • B.Ćitta-Vṛṭṭi
  • C.Ćitta-nivṛṭṭi
  • D.Ćitta-anāsakti

Answer: A

The Absolute is identified with Cit-Śakti (printed with an accent over the C).

In The Life Divine, Sri Aurobindo describes the Absolute as Sachchidananda: Existence, Consciousness-Force and Bliss. Its consciousness is not passive but a creative force, Cit-Śakti, which manifests the world through involution and evolution.

Citta-vṛtti means the modifications of the mind (as in Yoga), citta-nivṛtti their cessation, and anāsakti non-attachment. These are terms of Yoga and ethics, not names of Aurobindo's Absolute.
