A supramental gnostic being will be more than a godhead, though in his works, he will seem like one. He will be the Divine Himself, fully conscious of and identified with the Divine and not with one or the other aspect, as godheads are. In his actions, the supramental gnostic being will manifest one line or the other as a channel of the Divine Will, but he will be equally capable of other aspects that can be put forth under the Divine Impulsion. He won’t have a fixed personality as we understand it, but a universal impersonality, putting forth a personality of the moment. Thus, he will be a friend and a comrade of the Godheads in his working, but inwardly conscious of the fullness of the Divine within and hence not limited to a particular aspect of knowledge and power. Sri Aurobindo beautifully describes it in The Life Divine.
‘A supramental gnostic individual will be a spiritual Person, but not a personality in the sense of a pattern of being marked out by a settled combination of fixed qualities, a determined character; he cannot be that since he is a conscious expression of the universal and the transcendent. But neither can his being be a capricious impersonal flux throwing up at random waves of various form, waves of personality as it pours through Time. Something like this may be felt in men who have no strong centralising Person in their depths but act from a sort of confused multipersonality according to whatever element in them becomes prominent at the time; but the gnostic consciousness is a consciousness of harmony and self-knowledge and self-mastery and would not present such a disorder…..
We feel ourselves in presence of a light of consciousness, a potency, a sea of energy, can distinguish and describe its free waves of action and quality, but not fix itself; and yet there is an impression of personality, the presence of a powerful being, a strong, high or beautiful recognisable Some one, a Person, not a limited creature of Nature but a Self or Soul, a Purusha. The gnostic Individual would be such an inner Person unveiled, occupying both the depths—no longer self-hidden—and the surface in a unified self-awareness; he would not be a surface personality partly expressive of a larger secret being, he would be not the wave but the ocean: he would be the Purusha, the inner conscious Existence self-revealed, and would have no need of a carved expressive mask or persona.’
