“Supernature, then, is in every way our aim in Yoga; being still natural to the world, to transcend Nature internally so that both internally and externally we may possess and enjoy her as free & lord, swarat and samrat; being still the symbol in a world of symbolbeings, to reach through it to that which is symbolised, to realise the symbol; being still a figure of humanity, a man among men, a living body among living bodies, manus, mental beings housed in that living matter among other embodied mental beings; being & remaining in our outward parts all this that we are apparently, yet to exceed it and become in the body what we are really in the secret self,—God, spirit, supreme & infinite being, pure Bliss of divine joy, pure Force of divine action, pure Light of divine knowledge.” – Sri Aurobindo (CWSA Vol. 12: Essays Divine and Human > The Evolutionary Aim in Yoga)

My question is: “Where is Superman then?” If he is going to be like one among other humans? Outwardly, Superman is not like an ordinary human.
Yes. Not necessary to repeat the same word. Nevertheless, the Superman is a transformed consciousness in a human body. The supramental being is the transformed consciousness in a divinised body. It comes later.
