More quotes by Sri Aurobindo
Love is the keynote, Joy is the music, Knowledge is the performer, the Infinite All is the composer and audience.
Sri Aurobindo
Man in the world's life works out the dreams of God.
Sri Aurobindo
Delight is the secret. Learn of pure delight and thou shalt learn of God.
Sri Aurobindo
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
The consciousness of the seer, is a greater power for knowledge than the consciousness of the thinker. The perceptual power of the inner sight is greater and more direct than the perceptual power of thought.
Sri Aurobindo
No danger can perturb my spirit's calm.
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
We cannot afford to raise any institution to the rank of a fetish. To do so would be simply to become the slaves of our own machinery.
Sri Aurobindo
Evolution of consciousness is the central motive of terrestrial existence.
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
The language of the Veda itself is sruti, a rhythm not composed by the intellect but heard, a divine Word that same vibrating out of the Infinite to the inner audience of the man who had previously made himself fit fot the impersonal knowledge.
Sri Aurobindo
My God is love and sweetly suffers all.
Sri Aurobindo
A great thing would be done if all these God-visions could embrace and cast themselves into each other but intellectual dogma and cult egoism stand in the way.
Sri Aurobindo
Live within be not shaken by outward happenings.
Sri Aurobindo
While doing work if the mind continues to be active let it be so, but there must be at the same time a capacity for silence.
Sri Aurobindo
Our human knowledge is a candle burnt On a dim altar to a sun-vast Truth.
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
Life was a sorrowful throb of this Matter teaching it anguish, Teaching it hope and desire trod out too soon in the mire, Life the frail joy that regrets its briefness, life the long sorrow.
Sri Aurobindo
One may come armoured, Invinsible. His will immobile meets the mobile hour. The world blows cannot bend this Victor Head. Calm and sure are his steps in the growing night. The goal recedes, he hurries not his pace. He asks from no help from the inferior Gods. His eyes are fixed on the immutable aim.
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
