Image
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
Image
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
Image
The highest aim of the aesthetic being is to find the Divine through beauty the highest Art is that which by an inspired use of significant and interpretative form unseals the door of the spirit.
Sri Aurobindo

The Person is a bubble on Time's sea.
Sri Aurobindo

Remember that you are at an exceptional hour in a unique epoch, that you have this great happiness, this invaluable privilege, of being present at the birth of a new world.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
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
Image
My God is love and sweetly suffers all.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
To doubt the experience is to discourage it. Let it be developed, see what is in it.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Be conscious first of thyself within, then think and act. All living thought is a world in preparation all real act is a thought manifested. The material world exists because an idea began to play in divine self–consciousness.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
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
Image
To hope for a true change of human life without a change of human nature is an irrational and unspiritual proposition.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
The navel region is the centre of the vital. It is from here that the movements of the vital rise upward. Above the navel and behind the chest is the centre of the play of emotions and below this takes place the play of the physical. Mulādhāra is the base of the physical. In between the Mulādhāra and the navel, there is another centre of the vital.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Rather hang thyself than belong to the horde of successful imitators.
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
To be free from all egoistic motive, careful of truth in speech and action, void of self-will and self-assertion, watchful in all things, is the condition for being a flawless servant.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
The Force which has to be called down from above must be pure and quiet because there are all kinds of forces - it will not do to call them all. And one must have sincerity.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
For all problems of existence are essentially problems of harmony.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
After having stopped the lower activities of the mind, it must be made receptive and, instead of weaving all kinds of empty and idle thoughts, the mind should receive intuitions from above.
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
Thy goal, the road thou choosest are thy fate.
Sri Aurobindo
