Image
The yogin becomes aware in part of the action of the supramental power organizing the lower vehicle (ādhāra). A part of it remains behind the veil and prepares itself.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Transform reason into ordered intuition let all thyself be light. This is thy goal.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
The desire of your vital being is towards work. And the vital being won't find any interest in yoga so long as you do not have any experience of the higher and fuller life that is in yoga. As long as this experience is not there, the vital being will not find any interest.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Propaganda is necessary only for the sake of money!
Sri Aurobindo
Image
The Truth-power must be brought down from above into that state of peace, and this higher power - Parashakti - will directly guide the vehicle - ādhāra - and transform it.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
If it be true that spirit is involved in Matter and apparent Nature is secret God, then the manifestation in the divine in himself and the realization of God within and without are the highest and most legitimate aim possible to man on earth.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
All thoughts, desires, conventions, attachments which come from outside must be ruthlessly pushed away.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Rather hang thyself than belong to the horde of successful imitators.
Sri Aurobindo

In order to see, you have to stop being in the middle of the picture
Sri Aurobindo
Image
A hidden Bliss is at the root of things. A mute Delight regards Time's countless works: To house God's joy in things Space gave wide room, To house God's joy in self our souls were born.
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
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.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Sin and virtue are a game of resistance we play with God in His efforts to draw us towards perfection.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Thy goal, the road thou choosest are thy fate.
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
The supreme end is the freedom of the spirit.
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
The mind of an ordinary man is truly near the heart.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
All desires and egoism will have to be banished from the being.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
There is nothing small in God's eyes let there be nothing small in thine
