Quote

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.

The Person is a bubble on Time's sea.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
All desires and egoism will have to be banished from the being.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
As in all infant sciences, the universal habit of the human mind - to take a partial or local truth, generalise it unduly and try to explain a whole field of nature in its narrow terms - runs riot here (in psychoanalysis). Moreover, the exaggeration of the importance of suppressed sexual complexes is a dangerous falsehood.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
In order to see, you have to stop being in the middle of the picture
Sri Aurobindo
Image
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
Until you get a guidance from above you cannot be sure but to get this guidance it requires time and sadhana.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Hidden nature is secret God.
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
The supreme state of human love is...the unity of one soul in two bodies.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
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
Image
There is nothing mind can do that cannot be better done in the mind's immobility and thought-free stillness. When mind is still, then truth gets her chance to be heard in the purity of the silence.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
One who loves God finds the object of his love everywhere.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
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
Image
The cup has to be left clean and empty for the divine liquor to be poured into it.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Arise, transcend Thyself, Thou art man and the whole nature of man Is to become more than himself.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
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
Image
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
Image
To doubt the experience is to discourage it. Let it be developed, see what is in it.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
The supreme end is the freedom of the spirit.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
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
