More quotes by Sri Aurobindo
All religions have some truth in them, but none has the whole truth all are created in time and finally decline and perish. Mahomed himself never pretended that the Koran was the last message of God and there would be no other. God and Truth outlast these religions and manifest themselves anew in whatever way or form the Divine Wisdom chooses.
Sri Aurobindo
Samskrit language, as has been universally recognized by those competent to form a judgment, is one of the most magnificent, the most perfect, the most prominent and wonderfully sufficient literary instrument developed by the human mind.
Sri Aurobindo
Perfect health, sincerity, honesty, straightforwardness, courage, disinterestedness, unselfishness, patience, endurance, perseverance, peace, calm, self control are all things that are taught infinitely better by example than by beautiful speeches.
Sri Aurobindo
When Reason died, then Wisdom was born.
Sri Aurobindo
Sin and virtue are a game of resistance we play with God in His efforts to draw us towards perfection.
Sri Aurobindo
In order to explain why the ordinary Sadhus and Yogis take to tobacco and gānja [an intoxicant], I said that these cause stimulation of the physical brain. But these have reactions. And to stimulate the brain thus is not the proper process.
Sri Aurobindo
Trust the divine power, and she will free the godlike elements in you and shape all into an expression of divine nature.
Sri Aurobindo
You have a strong active nature. And this in you is a point of strength. If you can mould it rightly this will become a very great strength. On the other hand, this too is your weak point - a hindrance in sadhana.
Sri Aurobindo
The Atheist is God playing at hide and seek with Himself.
Sri Aurobindo
Evolution of consciousness is the central motive of terrestrial existence.
Sri Aurobindo
Man in the world's life works out the dreams of God.
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
By your stumbling, the world is perfected.
Sri Aurobindo
Watch the too indignantly righteous. Before long you will find them committing or condoning the very offence which they have so fiercely censured.
Sri Aurobindo
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 desires and egoism will have to be banished from the being.
Sri Aurobindo
India is the meeting-place of the religions and among these Hinduism alone is by itself a vast and complex thing, not so much a religion as a great diversified and yet subtly unified mass of spiritual thought, realization and aspiration.
Sri Aurobindo
Propaganda is necessary only for the sake of money!
Sri Aurobindo
No danger can perturb my spirit's calm.
Sri Aurobindo
She saw too that man has the power of exceeding himself, of becoming himself more entirely and profoundly than he is, - truths which have only recently begun to be seen in Europe and seem even now too great for its common intelligence.
Sri Aurobindo
