Philosophy and Spiritual Vision
According to Sri Aurobindo his philosophies were first formed by studying of Upanishads and Gita, and later from vedas. Aurobindo tried to realise what he read through his spiritual experiences and was able to match them. He also notifies that his philosophy is not due to any intellectual abstractions, ratiocinations or dialectics and most of his writings were to justify to the intellect of the readers. And other sources of his philosophy were supposed to be flown into him as thoughts through higher planes of consciousness.
