Quote

Life is life - whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man's own advantage.

More quotes by Sri Aurobindo

Image
A great thing would be done if all these God-visions could embrace and cast themselves into each other but intellectual dogma and cult egoism stand in the way.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
To doubt the experience is to discourage it. Let it be developed, see what is in it.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
The human mind moves always forward, alters its viewpoint and enlarges its thought substance, and the effect of these changes is to render past systems of thinking obsolete or, when they are preserved, to extend, to modify and subtly or visibly to alter their value.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
The consciousness of the seer, is a greater power for knowledge than the consciousness of the thinker. The perceptual power of the inner sight is greater and more direct than the perceptual power of thought.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
The mind of an ordinary man is truly near the heart.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Death is but changing of our robes to wait in wedding garments at the Eternal's gate.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
The inside must be made entirely calm and quiet and there should reign an upward aspiration - a state of awaiting.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
She saw too that man has the power of exceeding himself, of becoming himself more entirely and profoundly than he is, - truths which have only recently begun to be seen in Europe and seem even now too great for its common intelligence.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
The navel region is the centre of the vital. It is from here that the movements of the vital rise upward. Above the navel and behind the chest is the centre of the play of emotions and below this takes place the play of the physical. Mulādhāra is the base of the physical. In between the Mulādhāra and the navel, there is another centre of the vital.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
India is the meeting-place of the religions and among these Hinduism alone is by itself a vast and complex thing, not so much a religion as a great diversified and yet subtly unified mass of spiritual thought, realization and aspiration.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
While doing work if the mind continues to be active let it be so, but there must be at the same time a capacity for silence.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
The language of the Veda itself is sruti, a rhythm not composed by the intellect but heard, a divine Word that same vibrating out of the Infinite to the inner audience of the man who had previously made himself fit fot the impersonal knowledge.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
There is no greater pride and glory than to be a perfect instrument of the Master.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
In order to see, you have to stop being in the middle of the picture
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Forgiveness is praised by the Christian and the Vaishnava, but for me, I ask, What have I to forgive and whom?
Sri Aurobindo
Image
The expression from above is for us only a way of speaking. Many receive from above the command for action - we call it intuition.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
This world is a vast unbroken totality, a deep solidarity joins its contrary powers.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
The existence of poverty is the proof of an unjust and ill-organised society, and our public charities are but the first tardy awakening in the conscience of a robber.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Until you get a guidance from above you cannot be sure but to get this guidance it requires time and sadhana.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Not in the state of unconsciousness, but in full awareness when the higher Power will descend into and direct us, then only the yogic life will begin.
Sri Aurobindo
