More quotes by Sri Aurobindo
The human mind moves always forward, alters its viewpoint and enlarges its thought substance, and the effect of these changes is to render past systems of thinking obsolete or, when they are preserved, to extend, to modify and subtly or visibly to alter their value.
Sri Aurobindo
For all problems of existence are essentially problems of harmony.
Sri Aurobindo
All that is born and destroyed is reborn in the sweep of the ages Life like a decimal ever recurring repeats the old figure.
Sri Aurobindo
In the middle of an ocean on board a ship, one can get a sense of vastness.
Sri Aurobindo
Propaganda is necessary only for the sake of money!
Sri Aurobindo
The consciousness of the supreme Purusha remains above, but in the mind there may be a Purusha consciousness which they call the cosmic consciousness - it is wide, all-pervading, one. Outside this goes on the play of Prakriti.
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
One must have first of all a solid foundation.
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 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
To hope for a true change of human life without a change of human nature is an irrational and unspiritual proposition.
Sri Aurobindo
She saw the myriad gods, and beyond God his own ineffable eternity she saw that there were ranges of life beyond our present life, ranges of mind beyond our present mind and above these she saw the splendors of the spirit.
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
Our human knowledge is a candle burnt On a dim altar to a sun-vast Truth.
Sri Aurobindo
One mighty deed can change the course of things a lonely thought becomes omnipotent.
Sri Aurobindo
The spiritual path is one of falling on your face, getting up, brushing yourself off, turning and looking sheepishly at God and then taking the next step.
Sri Aurobindo
The Truth-power must be brought down from above into that state of peace, and this higher power - Parashakti - will directly guide the vehicle - ādhāra - and transform it.
Sri Aurobindo
Death fosters life that life may suckle death.
Sri Aurobindo
The supramental transformation, the supramental evolution must carry with it a lifting of mind, life and body out of themselves into a greater way of being in which yet their own ways and powers would be, not suppressed or abolished, but perfected and fulfilled by the self-exceeding.
Sri Aurobindo
There is no greater pride and glory than to be a perfect instrument of the Master.
Sri Aurobindo
