Transform reason into ordered intuition let all thyself be light. This is thy goal.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
There is no greater pride and glory than to be a perfect instrument of the Master.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
The first and the most important thing is to know that life is one and immortal. Only the forms, countless in number, are transient and brittle. The life everlasting is independent of any form but manifests itself in all forms. Life then does not die... but the forms are dissolved.
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
In the middle of an ocean on board a ship, one can get a sense of vastness.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Death is but changing of our robes to wait in wedding garments at the Eternal's gate.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
To hope for a true change of human life without a change of human nature is an irrational and unspiritual proposition.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
In order to explain why the ordinary Sadhus and Yogis take to tobacco and gānja [an intoxicant], I said that these cause stimulation of the physical brain. But these have reactions. And to stimulate the brain thus is not the proper process.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
All desires and egoism will have to be banished from the being.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
When Reason died, then Wisdom was born.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
To doubt the experience is to discourage it. Let it be developed, see what is in it.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
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
Image
Not in the state of unconsciousness, but in full awareness when the higher Power will descend into and direct us, then only the yogic life will begin.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Trust the divine power, and she will free the godlike elements in you and shape all into an expression of divine nature.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
To listen to some devout people, one would imagine that God never laughs.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Delight is the secret. Learn of pure delight and thou shalt learn of God.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
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
Image
The Gita is the greatest gospel of spiritual works ever yet given to the race.
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
My God is love and sweetly suffers all.
Sri Aurobindo
