More Quotes From Sri Aurobindo

All true love and all sacrifice arein their essence Nature’s contradiction of the primary egoism andits separative error; it is her attempt to turn from a necessary firstfragmentation towards a recovered oneness. All unity betweencreatures is in its essence a self-finding, a fusion with that fromwhich we have separated, a discovery of one’s self in others.But it is only a divine love and unity that can possess in the light what the human forms of these things seek for inthe darkness.
Sri Aurobindo
When I had the dividing reason, I shrank from many things; after I had lost it in sight, I hunted through the world for the ugly and the repellant, but I could no longer find them.
Sri Aurobindo
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
What the soul sees and has experienced, that it knows; the rest is appearance, prejudice and opinion.
Sri Aurobindo
All can be done if the god-touch is there
Sri Aurobindo
The existence of poverty is the proof of an unjust and ill-organised society, and our public charities are but the first tardy awakening in the conscience of a robber.
Sri Aurobindo
... for we perceive that this miraculous development is not the result of our own efforts: an eternal Perfection is moulding us into its own image.
Sri Aurobindo
The Unknown is not the Unknowable; it need not remain the unknown for us, unless we choose ignorance or persist in our first limitations. For to all things that are not unknowable, all things in the universe, there correspond in that universe faculties which can take cognisance of them, and in man, the microcosm, these faculties are always existant and at a certain stage capable of development. We may choose not to develop them; where they are partially developed, we may discourage and impose on them a kind of atrophy. But, fundamentally all possible knowledge is knowledge within the power of humanity. And since in man there is the inalienable impulse of Nature towards self-realisation, no struggle of the intellect to limit the action of our capacities within a determined area can for ever prevail.
