War is a dangerous teacher and physical victory leads often to a moral defeat.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

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 215 quotes

A woman has the greatest opportunity to provide the best outcome for a baby and its potentialities. Not only by having a conscious and definite will to form the child accordingly to the highest ideal she can conceive, but first and foremost having the aspiration to work on herself.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

Your mind has some clearness ...

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 215 quotes

India is the meeting-place of...

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 215 quotes

All that is born and destroye...

All that is born and destroyed is reborn in the sweep of the ages; Life like a decimal ever recurring repeats the old figure.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

As in all infant sciences, th...

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.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

To be free from all egoistic ...

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 215 quotes

The seers of ancient India ha...

The seers of ancient India had, in their experiments and efforts at spiritual training and the conquest of the body, perfected a discovery which in its importance to the future of human knowledge dwarfs the divinations of Newton and Galileo , even the discovery of the inductive and experimental method in Science was not more momentous.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

Vain indeed is all overweenin...

Vain indeed is all overweening pride in the conquest even of the entire universe if one has not conquered one's own passions.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

Fear not to be nothing that thou mayst be all.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

Yes, this Purusha consciousness must be maintained; otherwise the calm will not last. The knocks and blows that come from outside cannot disturb one, if this Purusha consciousness remains at the back.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

And, in order to possess the ...

And, in order to possess the Truth, the plays of the lower nature must be stopped.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

Can everybody contact the higher forces? No, not indeed; but they submit themselves to a discipline and this brings them success.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

On the top of the head is a C...

On the top of the head is a Chakra - Sahasradala or the thousand-petalled lotus. There is a Chakra in the middle of the forehead between the eyebrows and one in the heart-centre. The region between the navel and head constitutes the mental field. From navel downward extending till the terminus of the spinal chord, m?l?dh?ra, is the seat of the vital.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

Inspiration is a slender river of brightness leaping from a vast and eternal knowledge, it exceeds reason more perfectly than reason exceeds the knowledge of the senses.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

In order to explain why the o...

In order to explain why the ordinary Sadhus and Yogis take to tobacco and g?nja [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 215 quotes

The consciousness of the supr...

The consciousness of the supreme Purusha remains above, but in the mind there may be a Purusha consciousness which they call the cosmic consciousness - it is wide, all-pervading, one. Outside this goes on the play of Prakriti.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

Samskrit language, as has bee...

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 215 quotes

Thus to act under the guidanc...

Thus to act under the guidance coming from above, this is one side of the sadhana, the dynamic side. The other one is the discrimination between the Purusha and the Prakriti. The Purusha will calmly observe, give sanction, choose, but will realise that all this does not belong to him - all these are outside him. This is the static side of the sadhana. These two aspects constitute the basis of Yoga.
