Your mind has some clearness and capacity for right thinking it opens towards the heights, but for its own sake, - to receive light from above for its own activity.
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.
