India of the ages is not dead ...

India of the ages is not dead nor has she spoken her last creative word; she lives and has still something to do for herself and the human peoples.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

India saw from the beginning, ...

India saw from the beginning, and, even in her ages of reason and her age of increasing ignorance, she never lost hold of the insight, that life cannot be rightly seen in the sole light, cannot be perfectly lived in the sole power of its externalities.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

Indian religion has always fel...

Indian religion has always felt that since the minds, the temperaments and the intellectual affinities of men are unlimited in their variety, a perfect liberty of thought and of worship must be allowed to the individual in his approach to the Infinite.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

Metaphysical thinking will alw...

Metaphysical thinking will always no doubt be a strong element in her mentality, and it is to be hoped that she will never lose her great, her sovereign powers in that direction.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

She saw the myriad gods, and b...

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 215 quotes

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 215 quotes

Spirituality is indeed the master key of the Indian mind; the sense of the infinitive is native to it.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

They proved to me by convincing reasons that God does not exist; Afterwards I saw God, for he came and embraced me. And now what am I to believe- the reasoning of others or my own experience? Truth is what the soul has seen and experienced; the rest is appearance, prejudice and opinion.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

The one aim of [my] yoga is an inner self-development by which each one who follows it can in time discover the One Self in all and evolve a higher consciousness than the mental, a spiritual and supramental consciousness which will transform and divinize human nature.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

Threefold are those supreme bi...

Threefold are those supreme births of this divine force that is in the world, they are true, they are desirable; he moves there wide-overt within the Infinite and shines pure, luminous and fulfilling.... Of that which is in mortal in mortals, and possessed of the truth, is a God and established inwardly as an energy working out in our divine powers.... Become high uplifted, O Strength, pierce all veils, manifest in as the things of the Godhead.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

The Gita is the greatest gospel of spiritual works ever yet given to the race.

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 215 quotes

Care not for time and success....

Care not for time and success. Act out thy part, whether it be to fail or to prosper.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

Impossibility is only a sum of...

Impossibility is only a sum of greater unrealised possibles. It veils an advanced stage and a yet unaccomplished journey.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

Everyone has in him something ...

Everyone has in him something divine, something his own, a chance of perfection and strength in however small a sphere which God offers him to take or refuse. The task is to find it, develop it & use it. The chief aim of education should be to help the growing soul to draw out that in itself which is best and make it perfect for a noble use.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

The practice of Yoga brings us...

The practice of Yoga brings us face to face with the extraordinary complexity of our own being.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

Is it true that existence consists only in the action of energy? Or is it not rather that energy is an output of Existence?

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

By your stumbling, the world is perfected.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

I swore that I would not suffe...

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.

What have I to forgive and whom?
