India's Rebirth (1997), a thematic compilation of quotations from Sri Aurobindo's writings, is the worst example of how decontextualised views can be volatile. No one read the whole book but a dozen items were weaponised to target specific persons and events by vested interests.
Whether in matters of politics and world affairs or pertaining to the practice of yoga, literal application of Sri Aurobindo's words can be tricky. Quoting him on specific issues, similarly, might be misleading. Followers must exercise caution when no direct guidance is available.
