Image
What the soul sees and has experienced, that it knows the rest is appearance, prejudice and opinion.
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
The spiritual path is one of falling on your face, getting up, brushing yourself off, turning and looking sheepishly at God and then taking the next step.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
By your stumbling, the world is perfected.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
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
Image
In the middle of an ocean on board a ship, one can get a sense of vastness.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
The Force which has to be called down from above must be pure and quiet because there are all kinds of forces - it will not do to call them all. And one must have sincerity.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
The mind is running on all sides to think about many things, - what we call thoughts coming from outside. We must withdraw the mind from these distractions and make it abide in the self. Thus guarding the peace within we shall have to do the work without.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
The Gita is the greatest gospel of spiritual works ever yet given to the race.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
When I approached God at that time, I hardly had a living faith in Him. The agnostic was in me, the atheist was in me, the sceptic was in me and I was not absolutely sure that there was a God at all. I did not feel His presence. Yet something drew me to the truth of the Vedas, the truth of the Gita, the truth of the Hindu religion.
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
Life is life - whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man's own advantage.
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
Only the soul that is naked and unashamed, can be pure and innocent , even as Adam was in the primal garden of humanity .
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Death fosters life that life may suckle death.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
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
Image
Late, I learned that when reason died, then Wisdom was born before that liberation, I had only knowledge.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
The seers of ancient India had, in their experiments and efforts at spiritual training and the conquest of the body, perfected a discovery which in its importance to the future of human knowledge dwarfs the divinations of Newton and Galileo , even the discovery of the inductive and experimental method in Science was not more momentous.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
One mighty deed can change the course of things a lonely thought becomes omnipotent.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Knowledge gropes but meets not Wisdom's face.
