More quotes by Sri Aurobindo
Live according to Nature, runs the maxim of the West but according to what nature, the nature of the body or the nature which exceeds the body? This first we ought to determine.
Sri Aurobindo
Watch the too indignantly righteous. Before long you will find them committing or condoning the very offence which they have so fiercely censured.
Sri Aurobindo
Evolution of consciousness is the central motive of terrestrial existence.
Sri Aurobindo
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
Death fosters life that life may suckle death.
Sri Aurobindo
To hope for a true change of human life without a change of human nature is an irrational and unspiritual proposition.
Sri Aurobindo
Your mind has some clearness and capacity for right thinking it opens towards the heights, but for its own sake, - to receive light from above for its own activity.
Sri Aurobindo
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
The mind is running on all sides to think about many things, - what we call thoughts coming from outside. We must withdraw the mind from these distractions and make it abide in the self. Thus guarding the peace within we shall have to do the work without.
Sri Aurobindo
The Truth-power must be brought down from above into that state of peace, and this higher power - Parashakti - will directly guide the vehicle - ādhāra - and transform it.
Sri Aurobindo
The Purusha should assume at all times the attitude of a giver of sanction while rejecting the lower movements and accepting only truth-movements.
Sri Aurobindo
An active mind needs an outlet. If it stops by itself from within, well and good otherwise one should not try to stop this by force.
Sri Aurobindo
All that is born and destroyed is reborn in the sweep of the ages Life like a decimal ever recurring repeats the old figure.
Sri Aurobindo
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
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
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
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
To doubt the experience is to discourage it. Let it be developed, see what is in it.
Sri Aurobindo
One who loves God finds the object of his love everywhere.
Sri Aurobindo
There are all kinds of people, and in the attempt to build up a solidarity among them, defects of each one affect all the others.
Sri Aurobindo
