More quotes by 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
After having stopped the lower activities of the mind, it must be made receptive and, instead of weaving all kinds of empty and idle thoughts, the mind should receive intuitions from above.
Sri Aurobindo
In order to see, you have to stop being in the middle of the picture
Sri Aurobindo
Delight is the secret. Learn of pure delight and thou shalt learn of God.
Sri Aurobindo
The navel region is the centre of the vital. It is from here that the movements of the vital rise upward. Above the navel and behind the chest is the centre of the play of emotions and below this takes place the play of the physical. Mulādhāra is the base of the physical. In between the Mulādhāra and the navel, there is another centre of the vital.
Sri Aurobindo
A great thing would be done if all these God-visions could embrace and cast themselves into each other but intellectual dogma and cult egoism stand in the way.
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
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
To have a developed intellect is always helpful if one can enlighten it from above and turn it to a divine use.
Sri Aurobindo
The supreme end is the freedom of the spirit.
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
Death is but changing of our robes to wait in wedding garments at the Eternal's gate.
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
We cannot afford to raise any institution to the rank of a fetish. To do so would be simply to become the slaves of our own machinery.
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
Transform reason into ordered intuition let all thyself be light. This is thy goal.
Sri Aurobindo
Live according to Nature, runs the maxim of the West but according to what nature, the nature of the body or the nature which exceeds the body? This first we ought to determine.
Sri Aurobindo
This world is a vast unbroken totality, a deep solidarity joins its contrary powers.
Sri Aurobindo
Our human knowledge is a candle burnt On a dim altar to a sun-vast Truth.
Sri Aurobindo
What men call knowledge, is the reasoned acceptance of false appearances. Wisdom looks behind the veil and sees.
Sri Aurobindo
