Quote

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.

Thy goal, the road thou choosest are thy fate.
Sri Aurobindo

Impossibility is only a sum of greater unrealised possibles. It veils an advanced stage and a yet unaccomplished journey.
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
Image
The highest aim of the aesthetic being is to find the Divine through beauty the highest Art is that which by an inspired use of significant and interpretative form unseals the door of the spirit.
Sri Aurobindo

Do not allow things to intrude from outside.
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
Image
In order to satisfy the vital being, it must be offered some activity, and at the same time the mind should be slowly made to take interest in yoga.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
The yogin becomes aware in part of the action of the supramental power organizing the lower vehicle (ādhāra). A part of it remains behind the veil and prepares itself.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
There is nothing small in God's eyes let there be nothing small in thine
Sri Aurobindo

Delight is the secret. Learn of pure delight and thou shalt learn of God.
Sri Aurobindo

In order to see, you have to stop being in the middle of the picture
Sri Aurobindo
Image
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

This world is a vast unbroken totality, a deep solidarity joins its contrary powers.
