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.

More quotes by Sri Aurobindo
To listen to some devout people, one would imagine that God never laughs.
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
Vain indeed is all overweening pride in the conquest even of the entire universe if one has not conquered one's own passions.
Sri Aurobindo
The first and the most important thing is to know that life is one and immortal. Only the forms, countless in number, are transient and brittle. The life everlasting is independent of any form but manifests itself in all forms. Life then does not die... but the forms are dissolved.
Sri Aurobindo
The seers of ancient India had, in their experiments and efforts at spiritual training and the conquest of the body, perfected a discovery which in its importance to the future of human knowledge dwarfs the divinations of Newton and Galileo , even the discovery of the inductive and experimental method in Science was not more momentous.
Sri Aurobindo
Those who have advanced rise to the mind which is in the head, - they have the play of their mental movements in the head itself. But all these are inside the body man is, as it were, shut up in a box, his entire consciousness is confined within the organism. This imprisonment has to be undone.
Sri Aurobindo
Propaganda is necessary only for the sake of money!
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
My God is love and sweetly suffers all.
Sri Aurobindo
Our human knowledge is a candle burnt On a dim altar to a sun-vast Truth.
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
The Bhagavad-Gita is a true scripture of the human race a living creation rather than a book, with a new message for every age and a new meaning for every civilization.
Sri Aurobindo
As in all infant sciences, the universal habit of the human mind - to take a partial or local truth, generalise it unduly and try to explain a whole field of nature in its narrow terms - runs riot here (in psychoanalysis). Moreover, the exaggeration of the importance of suppressed sexual complexes is a dangerous falsehood.
Sri Aurobindo
Death is but changing of our robes to wait in wedding garments at the Eternal's gate.
Sri Aurobindo
In order to see, you have to stop being in the middle of the picture
Sri Aurobindo
An active mind needs an outlet. If it stops by itself from within, well and good otherwise one should not try to stop this by force.
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
The supreme state of human love is...the unity of one soul in two bodies.
Sri Aurobindo
Arise, transcend Thyself, Thou art man and the whole nature of man Is to become more than himself.
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
