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.

Image
Death fosters life that life may suckle death.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
One may come armoured, Invinsible. His will immobile meets the mobile hour. The world blows cannot bend this Victor Head. Calm and sure are his steps in the growing night. The goal recedes, he hurries not his pace. He asks from no help from the inferior Gods. His eyes are fixed on the immutable aim.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
The consciousness of the supreme Purusha remains above, but in the mind there may be a Purusha consciousness which they call the cosmic consciousness - it is wide, all-pervading, one. Outside this goes on the play of Prakriti.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Love is the keynote, Joy is the music, Knowledge is the performer, the Infinite All is the composer and audience.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Yoga is a generic name for any discipline by which one attempts to pass out of the limits of one's ordinary mental consciousness into a greater spiritual consciousness.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
The supramental transformation, the supramental evolution must carry with it a lifting of mind, life and body out of themselves into a greater way of being in which yet their own ways and powers would be, not suppressed or abolished, but perfected and fulfilled by the self-exceeding.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Life was a sorrowful throb of this Matter teaching it anguish, Teaching it hope and desire trod out too soon in the mire, Life the frail joy that regrets its briefness, life the long sorrow.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
The supreme state of human love is...the unity of one soul in two bodies.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Do not belong to the past dawns,but to the noons of future
Sri Aurobindo
Image
There is no greater pride and glory than to be a perfect instrument of the Master.
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
India of the ages is not dead nor has she spoken her last creative word she lives and has still something to do for herself and the human peoples.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Recover the source of all strength in yourself, and all else will be added to you ... political freedom, the mastery of human thought, the hegemony of the world.
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
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
Thy goal, the road thou choosest are thy fate.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
The business of both parent and teacher is to enable and to help the child to educate himself, to develop his own intellectual, moral, aesthetic and practical capacities and to grow freely as an organic being, not to be kneaded and pressured into form like an inert plastic material
Sri Aurobindo
Image
The supreme end is the freedom of the spirit.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
The cup has to be left clean and empty for the divine liquor to be poured into it.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
I swore that I would not suffer from the world's grief and the world's stupidity and cruelty and injustice and I made my heart as hard in endurance as the nether millstone and my mind as a polished surface of steel. I no longer suffered, but enjoyment had passed away from me.
Sri Aurobindo
