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
Image
To hope for a true change of human life without a change of human nature is an irrational and unspiritual proposition.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
To feed death with her works is here life's doom.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
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.

Spirituality is indeed the master-key of the Indian mind the sense of the infinitive is native to it.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
When I approached God at that time, I hardly had a living faith in Him. The agnostic was in me, the atheist was in me, the sceptic was in me and I was not absolutely sure that there was a God at all. I did not feel His presence. Yet something drew me to the truth of the Vedas, the truth of the Gita, the truth of the Hindu religion.
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
The cup has to be left clean and empty for the divine liquor to be poured into it.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Fear not to be nothing that thou mayst be all.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Hidden nature is secret God.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
If it be true that spirit is involved in Matter and apparent Nature is secret God, then the manifestation in the divine in himself and the realization of God within and without are the highest and most legitimate aim possible to man on earth.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
This world is a vast unbroken totality, a deep solidarity joins its contrary powers.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
To have a developed intellect is always helpful if one can enlighten it from above and turn it to a divine use.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
All kinds of indications will come from above and whatever you do must be referred to the Above.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Man's freedom is relative and it cannot be held solely responsible for the imperfection of his nature.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
The supreme end is the freedom of the spirit.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
The highest aim of the aesthetic being is to find the Divine through beauty the highest Art is that which by an inspired use of significant and interpretative form unseals the door of the spirit.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
Love is the keynote, Joy is the music, Knowledge is the performer, the Infinite All is the composer and audience.
