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.

More quotes by Sri Aurobindo
Forgiveness is praised by the Christian and the Vaishnava, but for me, I ask, What have I to forgive and whom?
Sri Aurobindo
The Gita is the greatest gospel of spiritual works ever yet given to the race.
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
The existence of poverty is the proof of an unjust and ill-organised society, and our public charities are but the first tardy awakening in the conscience of a robber.
Sri Aurobindo
Love is the keynote, Joy is the music, Knowledge is the performer, the Infinite All is the composer and audience.
Sri Aurobindo
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
Recover the source of all strength in yourself, and all else will be added to you ... political freedom, the mastery of human thought, the hegemony of the world.
Sri Aurobindo
Impossibility is only a sum of greater unrealised possibles. It veils an advanced stage and a yet unaccomplished journey.
Sri Aurobindo
Thy goal, the road thou choosest are thy fate.
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
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
The Bhagavad-Gita is a true scripture of the human race a living creation rather than a book, with a new message for every age and a new meaning for every civilization.
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
What is required is faith. Man has body, life and mind but that is not all that constitutes man. He has risen to the mind as a result of evolution. Now a higher consciousness will be evolved - this I call Supermind. It is the instrument of the Divine Consciousness, the Truth-Consciousness.
Sri Aurobindo
Death is but changing of our robes to wait in wedding garments at the Eternal's gate.
Sri Aurobindo
One mighty deed can change the course of things a lonely thought becomes omnipotent.
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
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
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
You have a strong active nature. And this in you is a point of strength. If you can mould it rightly this will become a very great strength. On the other hand, this too is your weak point - a hindrance in sadhana.
Sri Aurobindo
