More quotes by 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
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
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
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
Those who have advanced rise to the mind which is in the head, - they have the play of their mental movements in the head itself. But all these are inside the body man is, as it were, shut up in a box, his entire consciousness is confined within the organism. This imprisonment has to be undone.
Sri Aurobindo
There is nothing small in God's eyes let there be nothing small in thine
Sri Aurobindo
Man's freedom is relative and it cannot be held solely responsible for the imperfection of his nature.
Sri Aurobindo
There is therefore no reason to put a limit to evolutionary possibility by taking our present organization or status of existence as final. The animal is a laboratory in which Nature has worked out man man may very well be a laboratory in which she wills to work out superman, to disclose the soul as a divine being, to evolve a divine nature.
Sri Aurobindo
Fear not to be nothing that thou mayst be all.
Sri Aurobindo
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
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
This world is a vast unbroken totality, a deep solidarity joins its contrary powers.
Sri Aurobindo
Samskrit language, as has been universally recognized by those competent to form a judgment, is one of the most magnificent, the most perfect, the most prominent and wonderfully sufficient literary instrument developed by the human mind.
Sri Aurobindo
Knowledge gropes but meets not Wisdom's face.
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
My God is love and sweetly suffers all.
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
Death is but changing of our robes to wait in wedding garments at the Eternal's gate.
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
The desire of your vital being is towards work. And the vital being won't find any interest in yoga so long as you do not have any experience of the higher and fuller life that is in yoga. As long as this experience is not there, the vital being will not find any interest.
Sri Aurobindo
