First sentence: That which Sri Aurobindo came to accomplish, other poets, the Vedic Rishis, had announced thousands of years earlier, in prehistoric times :

Weave an inviolate work,
become the human being, create the divine race....
Seers of truth you are,
sharpen the shining spears with which
you cut the way to that which is Immortal;
knowers of the secret planes,
form them, the steps by which
the gods attained to immortality.

(Rig-Veda X. 53)
