More quotes by Sri Aurobindo
Perfect health, sincerity, honesty, straightforwardness, courage, disinterestedness, unselfishness, patience, endurance, perseverance, peace, calm, self control are all things that are taught infinitely better by example than by beautiful speeches.
Sri Aurobindo
What the soul sees and has experienced, that it knows the rest is appearance, prejudice and opinion.
Sri Aurobindo
Rather hang thyself than belong to the horde of successful imitators.
Sri Aurobindo
Fear not to be nothing that thou mayst be all.
Sri Aurobindo
Forgiveness is praised by the Christian and the Vaishnava, but for me, I ask, What have I to forgive and whom?
Sri Aurobindo
In order to explain why the ordinary Sadhus and Yogis take to tobacco and gānja [an intoxicant], I said that these cause stimulation of the physical brain. But these have reactions. And to stimulate the brain thus is not the proper process.
Sri Aurobindo
For all problems of existence are essentially problems of harmony.
Sri Aurobindo
That within us which seeks to know and to progress is not the mind but something behind it which makes use of it.
Sri Aurobindo
One mighty deed can change the course of things a lonely thought becomes omnipotent.
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
Evolution is not finished reason is not the last word nor the reasoning animal the supreme figure of Nature. As man emerged out of the animal, so out of man the superman emerges.
Sri Aurobindo
When I approached God at that time, I hardly had a living faith in Him. The agnostic was in me, the atheist was in me, the sceptic was in me and I was not absolutely sure that there was a God at all. I did not feel His presence. Yet something drew me to the truth of the Vedas, the truth of the Gita, the truth of the Hindu religion.
Sri Aurobindo
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.
Sri Aurobindo
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
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
Ourselves within us lethal forces nurse We make of our own enemies our guests.
Sri Aurobindo
The mind of an ordinary man is truly near the heart.
Sri Aurobindo
No danger can perturb my spirit's calm.
Sri Aurobindo
All religions have some truth in them, but none has the whole truth all are created in time and finally decline and perish. Mahomed himself never pretended that the Koran was the last message of God and there would be no other. God and Truth outlast these religions and manifest themselves anew in whatever way or form the Divine Wisdom chooses.
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
