India of the ages is not dead nor has she spoken her last creative word she lives and has still something to do for herself and the human peoples.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Evolution of consciousness is the central motive of terrestrial existence.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
The consciousness of the supreme Purusha remains above, but in the mind there may be a Purusha consciousness which they call the cosmic consciousness - it is wide, all-pervading, one. Outside this goes on the play of Prakriti.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
My God is love and sweetly suffers all.
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
Image
Perfect health, sincerity, honesty, straightforwardness, courage, disinterestedness, unselfishness, patience, endurance, perseverance, peace, calm, self control are all things that are taught infinitely better by example than by beautiful speeches.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Evolution is not finished reason is not the last word nor the reasoning animal the supreme figure of Nature. As man emerged out of the animal, so out of man the superman emerges.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
To doubt the experience is to discourage it. Let it be developed, see what is in it.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Live within be not shaken by outward happenings.
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 expression from above is for us only a way of speaking. Many receive from above the command for action - we call it intuition.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
What men call knowledge, is the reasoned acceptance of false appearances. Wisdom looks behind the veil and sees.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Death fosters life that life may suckle death.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Those who have advanced rise to the mind which is in the head, - they have the play of their mental movements in the head itself. But all these are inside the body man is, as it were, shut up in a box, his entire consciousness is confined within the organism. This imprisonment has to be undone.
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
This world is a vast unbroken totality, a deep solidarity joins its contrary powers.
