A hidden Bliss is at the root of things. A mute Delight regards Time's countless works: To house God's joy in things Space gave wide room, To house God's joy in self our souls were born.
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
Forgiveness is praised by the Christian and the Vaishnava, but for me, I ask, What have I to forgive and whom?
Sri Aurobindo
Image
There is therefore no reason to put a limit to evolutionary possibility by taking our present organization or status of existence as final. The animal is a laboratory in which Nature has worked out man man may very well be a laboratory in which she wills to work out superman, to disclose the soul as a divine being, to evolve a divine nature.

Yoga is a generic name for any discipline by which one attempts to pass out of the limits of one's ordinary mental consciousness into a greater spiritual consciousness.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
The supreme state of human love is...the unity of one soul in two bodies.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Only the soul that is naked and unashamed, can be pure and innocent , even as Adam was in the primal garden of humanity .
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Man in the world's life works out the dreams of God.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Yes, it is difficult for man to cross beyond the idea of duty.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Transform reason into ordered intuition let all thyself be light. This is thy goal.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
The all-embracing vast being which is there behind the play of the universe and with which you will have to identify yourself - for this is your true self.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Late, I learned that when reason died, then Wisdom was born before that liberation, I had only knowledge.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
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
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
I swore that I would not suffer from the world's grief and the world's stupidity and cruelty and injustice and I made my heart as hard in endurance as the nether millstone and my mind as a polished surface of steel. I no longer suffered, but enjoyment had passed away from me.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Arise, transcend Thyself, Thou art man and the whole nature of man Is to become more than himself.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Not in the state of unconsciousness, but in full awareness when the higher Power will descend into and direct us, then only the yogic life will begin.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
The Person is a bubble on Time's sea.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
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.

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.
