Quote

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.

Image
Delight is the secret. Learn of pure delight and thou shalt learn of God. What then was the commencement of the whole matter? Existence that multiplied itself for sheer delight of being and plunged into numberless trillions of forms so that it might find itself innumerably.
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
Fear not to be nothing that thou mayst be all.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Only the soul that is naked and unashamed, can be pure and innocent , even as Adam was in the primal garden of humanity .
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Man in the world's life works out the dreams of God.
Sri Aurobindo

To feed death with her works is here life's doom.
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
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
Image
Transform reason into ordered intuition let all thyself be light. This is thy goal.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
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
Image
Man's freedom is relative and it cannot be held solely responsible for the imperfection of his nature.
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
If it be true that spirit is involved in Matter and apparent Nature is secret God, then the manifestation in the divine in himself and the realization of God within and without are the highest and most legitimate aim possible to man on earth.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Be conscious first of thyself within, then think and act. All living thought is a world in preparation all real act is a thought manifested. The material world exists because an idea began to play in divine self–consciousness.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
What men call knowledge, is the reasoned acceptance of false appearances. Wisdom looks behind the veil and sees.
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
What the soul sees and has experienced, that it knows the rest is appearance, prejudice and opinion.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
[S]tand aside and watch the working of the divine power in yourself.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
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
Image
She saw the myriad gods, and beyond God his own ineffable eternity she saw that there were ranges of life beyond our present life, ranges of mind beyond our present mind and above these she saw the splendors of the spirit.
Sri Aurobindo
