More quotes by Sri Aurobindo
The existence of poverty is the proof of an unjust and ill-organised society, and our public charities are but the first tardy awakening in the conscience of a robber.
Sri Aurobindo
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
The Purusha should assume at all times the attitude of a giver of sanction while rejecting the lower movements and accepting only truth-movements.
Sri Aurobindo
The supreme end is the freedom of the spirit.
Sri Aurobindo
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
Yoga is a generic name for any discipline by which one attempts to pass out of the limits of one's ordinary mental consciousness into a greater spiritual consciousness.
Sri Aurobindo
The Atheist is God playing at hide and seek with Himself.
Sri Aurobindo
Our human knowledge is a candle burnt On a dim altar to a sun-vast Truth.
Sri Aurobindo
In the normal play of our mind there are all sorts of perversions hence the need to stop all these things and inculcate right thinking, right willing - in other words, Truth must be established.
Sri Aurobindo
Hidden nature is secret God.
Sri Aurobindo
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
The supreme state of human love is...the unity of one soul in two bodies.
Sri Aurobindo
The Person is a bubble on Time's sea.
Sri Aurobindo
To listen to some devout people, one would imagine that God never laughs.
Sri Aurobindo
To hope for a true change of human life without a change of human nature is an irrational and unspiritual proposition.
Sri Aurobindo
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
All thoughts, desires, conventions, attachments which come from outside must be ruthlessly pushed away.
Sri Aurobindo
Impossibility is only a sum of greater unrealised possibles. It veils an advanced stage and a yet unaccomplished journey.
Sri Aurobindo
There is therefore no reason to put a limit to evolutionary possibility by taking our present organization or status of existence as final. The animal is a laboratory in which Nature has worked out man man may very well be a laboratory in which she wills to work out superman, to disclose the soul as a divine being, to evolve a divine nature.
Sri Aurobindo
Evolution of consciousness is the central motive of terrestrial existence.
Sri Aurobindo
