The Atheist is God playing at hide and seek with Himself.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
All religions have some truth in them, but none has the whole truth all are created in time and finally decline and perish. Mahomed himself never pretended that the Koran was the last message of God and there would be no other. God and Truth outlast these religions and manifest themselves anew in whatever way or form the Divine Wisdom chooses.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
What the soul sees and has experienced, that it knows the rest is appearance, prejudice and opinion.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Everyone has in him something divine, something his own, a chance of perfection and strength in however small a sphere which God offers him to take or refuse. The task is to find it, develop it & use it. The chief aim of education should be to help the growing soul to draw out that in itself which is best and make it perfect for a noble use.

Faith is the soul's witness to something not yet manifested, achieved or realised, but which yet the Knower within us, even in the absence of all indications, feels to be true or supremely worth following or achieving.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
One who loves God finds the object of his love everywhere.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
There are all kinds of people, and in the attempt to build up a solidarity among them, defects of each one affect all the others.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
The supreme end is the freedom of the spirit.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Forgiveness is praised by the Christian and the Vaishnava, but for me, I ask, What have I to forgive and whom?
Sri Aurobindo
Image
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.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Late, I learned that when reason died, then Wisdom was born before that liberation, I had only knowledge.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Arise, transcend Thyself, Thou art man and the whole nature of man Is to become more than himself.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Physical education for the body to be effective must be rigorous and detailed, far sighted and methodological. This will be translated into habits. These habits should be controlled and disciplined, while remaining flexible enough to adapt themselves to circumstances and to the needs of growth and development of the being.
