Sri Aurobindo quotes about
expression elements shapes
Trust the divine power, and she will free the godlike elements in you and shape all into an expression of divine nature.
atheist shadow hide-and-seek
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.
hinduism embrace hindu-religion
That which we call the Hindu religion is really the Eternal religion because it embraces all others.
sake propaganda
Propaganda is necessary only for the sake of money!
human-nature human-life irrational
To hope for a true change of human life without a change of human nature is an irrational and unspiritual proposition.
time self roots
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.
divine-wisdom way lasts
All religions have some truth in them, but none has the whole truth; all are created in time and finally decline and perish. Mahomed himself never pretended that the Koran was the last message of God and there would be no other. God and Truth outlast these religions and manifest themselves anew in whatever way or form the Divine Wisdom chooses.
veils action vehicle
The yogin becomes aware in part of the action of the supramental power organizing the lower vehicle (ādhāra). A part of it remains behind the veil and prepares itself.
unbroken world solidarity
This world is a vast unbroken totality, a deep solidarity joins its contrary powers.
sri-lanka mind saws
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.
atheist atheism hide-and-seek
The Atheist is God playing at hide and seek with Himself.
guides states vehicle
The Truth-power must be brought down from above into that state of peace, and this higher power - Parashakti - will directly guide the vehicle - ādhāra - and transform it.
fear-not
Fear not to be nothing that thou mayst be all.
guidance
Until you get a guidance from above you cannot be sure; but to get this guidance it requires time and sadhana.
