More quotes by Sri Aurobindo
Delight is the secret. Learn of pure delight and thou shalt learn of God.
Sri Aurobindo
To doubt the experience is to discourage it. Let it be developed, see what is in it.
Sri Aurobindo
The cup has to be left clean and empty for the divine liquor to be poured into it.
Sri Aurobindo
Vain indeed is all overweening pride in the conquest even of the entire universe if one has not conquered one's own passions.
Sri Aurobindo
Not complete inaction, which is an error, a confusion, a self-delusion, an impossibility, but action full and free done without subjection to sense and passion, desireless and unattached works, are the first secret of perfection.
Sri Aurobindo
The Bhagavad-Gita is a true scripture of the human race a living creation rather than a book, with a new message for every age and a new meaning for every civilization.
Sri Aurobindo
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
The spiritual path is one of falling on your face, getting up, brushing yourself off, turning and looking sheepishly at God and then taking the next step.
Sri Aurobindo
Man's freedom is relative and it cannot be held solely responsible for the imperfection of his nature.
Sri Aurobindo
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
You have a strong active nature. And this in you is a point of strength. If you can mould it rightly this will become a very great strength. On the other hand, this too is your weak point - a hindrance in sadhana.
Sri Aurobindo
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
Physical education for the body to be effective must be rigorous and detailed, far sighted and methodological. This will be translated into habits. These habits should be controlled and disciplined, while remaining flexible enough to adapt themselves to circumstances and to the needs of growth and development of the being.
Sri Aurobindo
Arise, transcend Thyself, Thou art man and the whole nature of man Is to become more than himself.
Sri Aurobindo
In order to satisfy the vital being, it must be offered some activity, and at the same time the mind should be slowly made to take interest in yoga.
Sri Aurobindo
My God is love and sweetly suffers all.
Sri Aurobindo
In the normal play of our mind there are all sorts of perversions hence the need to stop all these things and inculcate right thinking, right willing - in other words, Truth must be established.
Sri Aurobindo
No danger can perturb my spirit's calm.
Sri Aurobindo
[S]tand aside and watch the working of the divine power in yourself.
Sri Aurobindo
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
