More quotes by Sri Aurobindo
Live according to Nature, runs the maxim of the West but according to what nature, the nature of the body or the nature which exceeds the body? This first we ought to determine.
Sri Aurobindo
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
Not complete inaction, which is an error, a confusion, a self-delusion, an impossibility, but action full and free done without subjection to sense and passion, desireless and unattached works, are the first secret of perfection.
Sri Aurobindo
Live within be not shaken by outward happenings.
Sri Aurobindo
All thoughts, desires, conventions, attachments which come from outside must be ruthlessly pushed away.
Sri Aurobindo
Thy goal, the road thou choosest are thy fate.
Sri Aurobindo
Metaphysical thinking will always no doubt be a strong element in her mentality, and it is to be hoped that she will never lose her great, her sovereign powers in that direction.
Sri Aurobindo
Recover the source of all strength in yourself, and all else will be added to you ... political freedom, the mastery of human thought, the hegemony of the world.
Sri Aurobindo
For all problems of existence are essentially problems of harmony.
Sri Aurobindo
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
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
Forgiveness is praised by the Christian and the Vaishnava, but for me, I ask, What have I to forgive and whom?
Sri Aurobindo
By your stumbling, the world is perfected.
Sri Aurobindo
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
Man in the world's life works out the dreams of God.
Sri Aurobindo
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
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
Impossibility is only a sum of greater unrealised possibles. It veils an advanced stage and a yet unaccomplished journey.
Sri Aurobindo
A woman has the greatest opportunity to provide the best outcome for a baby and its potentialities. Not only by having a conscious and definite will to form the child accordingly to the highest ideal she can conceive, but first and foremost having the aspiration to work on herself.
Sri Aurobindo
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.
Sri Aurobindo
