Supermind in Sri Aurobindo's philosophy refers to the infinite unitary Truth Consciousness or Truth-Idea beyond the three lower planes of Matter, Life, and Mind. Supermind is the dynamic form of Sachchidananda (Being-Consciousness-Bliss), and the necessary mediator or link between the transcendent Sacchidananda and the creation. (Life Divine Book I, ch.14-16)
The goal and final stage of integral yoga is to actualise the Supermind within one's being, this would constitute a divinisation of matter itself, and usher in a completely new, Divine way of existing. (Life Divine Book II, ch.26-28)
