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 215 quotes

After having stopped the lowe...

After having stopped the lower activities of the mind, it must be made receptive; and, instead of weaving all kinds of empty and idle thoughts, the mind should receive intuitions from above.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

The Hindu religion appears .....

The Hindu religion appears ... as a cathedral temple, half in ruins, noble in the mass, often fantastic in detail but always fantastic with a significance crumbling or badly outworn in places, but a cathedral temple in which service is still done to the Unseen and its real presence can be felt by those who enter with the right spirit.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

Evolution is not finished; re...

Evolution is not finished; reason is not the last word nor the reasoning animal the supreme figure of Nature. As man emerged out of the animal, so out of man the superman emerges.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

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. And that which must seek now to awake is not an anglicised oriental people, docile pupil of the West and doomed to repeat the cycle of the occident's success and failure, but still the ancient immemorable Shakti recovering her deepest self, lifting her head higher towards the supreme source of light and strength and turning to discover the complete meaning and a vaster form of her Dharma.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

There is the physical mind wh...

There is the physical mind which is mechanical but the awareness which is the essential character (dharma) of the mind is also to some extent present there.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

If India is to survive, she m...

If India is to survive, she must be made young again. Rushing and billowing streams of energy must be poured into her; her soul must become, as it was in the old times, like the surges, vast, puissant, calm or turbulent at will, an ocean of action or of force.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

Man's freedom is relative and...

Man's freedom is relative and it cannot be held solely responsible for the imperfection of his nature.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

If Hell were possible, it wou...

If Hell were possible, it would be the shortest cut to the highest heaven. For verily God loveth.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

Material things are not to be...

Material things are not to be despised-without them there can be no manifestation in the material world.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

A hidden Bliss is at the root...

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 215 quotes

We can arrive at a point of v...

We can arrive at a point of view where the preservation of the individual activities is no longer inconsistent with our comprehension of the cosmic consciousness or our attainment to the transcendent and supracosmic.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

All kinds of indications will...

All kinds of indications will come from above and whatever you do must be referred to the Above.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

What I cannot do now is the s...

What I cannot do now is the sign of what I shall do hereafter. The sense of impossibility is the beginning of all possibilities. Because this temporal universe was a paradox and an impossibility, therefore the Eternal created it out of His being.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

Until you get a guidance from...

Until you get a guidance from above you cannot be sure; but to get this guidance it requires time and sadhana.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

Even if the being is not enti...

Even if the being is not entirely purified, varieties of inspirations and powers may come down from above but this may lead to serious errors. Inspirations from above mixing with the impurities from below get all muddled up and the sadhak takes this for an absolute command. Many a sadhak has thus fallen into danger. Therefore, one must particularly lay stress on the purification of the being.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

When thou findest thyself sco...

When thou findest thyself scorning another, look then at thy own heart and laugh at thy folly.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

There is no greater pride and ...

There is no greater pride and glory than to be a perfect instrument of the Master.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

One mighty deed can change the...

One mighty deed can change the course of things; a lonely thought becomes omnipotent.

Sri Aurobindo 215 quotes

As often as Herman had witness...

As often as Herman had witnessed the slaughter of animals and fish, he always had the same thought: in their behaviour toward creatures, all men were Nazis. The smugness with which man could do with other species as he pleased exemplified the most extreme racist theories, the principle that might is right. ~Isaac Bashevis Singer Life is life - whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man's own advantage.
