A hidden Bliss is at the root of things. A mute Delight regards Time's countless works: To house God's joy in things Space gave wide room, To house God's joy in self our souls were born.

More quotes by Sri Aurobindo
Everyone has in him something divine, something his own, a chance of perfection and strength in however small a sphere which God offers him to take or refuse. The task is to find it, develop it & use it. The chief aim of education should be to help the growing soul to draw out that in itself which is best and make it perfect for a noble use.
Sri Aurobindo
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
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
The seers of ancient India had, in their experiments and efforts at spiritual training and the conquest of the body, perfected a discovery which in its importance to the future of human knowledge dwarfs the divinations of Newton and Galileo , even the discovery of the inductive and experimental method in Science was not more momentous.
Sri Aurobindo
The Gita is the greatest gospel of spiritual works ever yet given to the race.
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
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 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
Do not allow things to intrude from outside.
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
The Atheist is God playing at hide and seek with Himself but is the Theist any other? Well, perhaps for he has seen the shadow of God and clutched at it.
Sri Aurobindo
The inside must be made entirely calm and quiet and there should reign an upward aspiration - a state of awaiting.
Sri Aurobindo
The supreme end is the freedom of the spirit.
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
The consciousness of the supreme Purusha remains above, but in the mind there may be a Purusha consciousness which they call the cosmic consciousness - it is wide, all-pervading, one. Outside this goes on the play of Prakriti.
Sri Aurobindo
Nothing in the many processes of Nature, whether she deals with men or with things, comes by chance or accident or is really at the mercy of external causes.
Sri Aurobindo
Man's freedom is relative and it cannot be held solely responsible for the imperfection of his nature.
Sri Aurobindo
Rather hang thyself than belong to the horde of successful imitators.
Sri Aurobindo
To have a developed intellect is always helpful if one can enlighten it from above and turn it to a divine use.
Sri Aurobindo
Remember that you are at an exceptional hour in a unique epoch, that you have this great happiness, this invaluable privilege, of being present at the birth of a new world.
Sri Aurobindo
