The human mind moves always f...

The human mind moves always forward, alters its viewpoint and enlarges its thought substance, and the effect of these changes is to render past systems of thinking obsolete or, when they are preserved, to extend, to modify and subtly or visibly to alter their value.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

But difficulties were made to...

But difficulties were made to be overcome and if the Supreme Will is there, they will be overcome.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

The meeting of man and God mu...

The meeting of man and God must always mean a penetration and entry of the divine into the human and a self-immergence of man in the Divinity.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

What comes from outside, one ...

What comes from outside, one mistakes it as coming from inside. So many thoughts etc. move about outside in the universal - these manifest inside you. All these you must push away as foreign to you and the inside must be made peaceful, calm and quiet; then it will start descending from above.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

The most vital issue of the a...

The most vital issue of the age is whether the future progress of humanity is to be governed by the modern economic and materialistic mind of the West or by a nobler pragmatism guided, uplifted and enlightened by spiritual culture and knowledge.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

Religions, creeds and forms a...

Religions, creeds and forms are only a characteristic outward sign of the spiritual impulsion and religion itself is the intensive action by which it tries to find its inward force. Its expansive movement comes in the thought which it throws out on life, the ideals which open up new horizons and which the intellect accepts and life labours to assimilate.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

Genius discovers a system; av...

Genius discovers a system; average talent stereotypes it till it is shattered by fresh genius.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

The experiences of your past ...

The experiences of your past life which are stored within come up to the surface to be rejected. By rejecting all these by and by the inside will have to be cleansed.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

A great thing would be done i...

A great thing would be done if all these God-visions could embrace and cast themselves into each other; but intellectual dogma and cult egoism stand in the way.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

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 215 quotes

The Atheist is God playing at...

The Atheist is God playing at hide and seek with Himself; but is the Theist any other? Well, perhaps; for he has seen the shadow of God and clutched at it.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

We cannot afford to raise any...

We cannot afford to raise any institution to the rank of a fetish. To do so would be simply to become the slaves of our own machinery.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

But few are those who tread t...

But few are those who tread the sunlit path; Only the pure in soul can walk in light.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

The progressive growth of the...

The progressive growth of the finite consciousness of man towards this Self, towards the universal , the eternal, the infinite, in a word his growth into spiritual consciousness by the development of his ordinary ignorant natural being into an illumined divine nature, this is for Indian thinking the significance of life and the aim of human existance.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

The deeper we look, the more ...

The deeper we look, the more we shall be convinced that the one thing wanting, which we must strive to acquire before all others, is strength strength physical, strength mental, strength moral, but above all strength spiritual which is the one inexhaustible and imperishable source of all the others. If we have strength everything else will be added to us easily and naturally.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

The all-embracing vast being ...

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 215 quotes

Not only a truer knowledge, b...

Not only a truer knowledge, but a greater power comes to one in the quietude and silence of a mind that, instead of bubbling on the surface, can go to its own depths and listen.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

The expression "from above" i...

The expression "from above" is for us only a way of speaking. Many receive from above the command for action - we call it intuition.

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

The mind is running on all si...

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.
