Sri Aurobindo

Spiritual, philosophical, physical and practical guidance from Sri Aurobindo and the Mother | Integral Yoga

[Sri Aurobindo @integralyog]

When you have a desire you are governed by the thing you desire; it takes possession of your mind and your life, and you become a slave. If you have greed for food you are no longer the master of food, it is the food that masters you.

When there comes with labour or without it something reasonably like what the poetic intelligence wanted to say, then there is something fine or adequate, though it may not be great unless there is an intervention from the higher levels.

Happiness is not the aim of life.
The aim of ordinary life is to carry out one’s duty, the aim of spiritual life is to realise the Divine.

We may say that the artist creates an ideal world of his own, not necessarily in the sense of ideal perfection, but a world that exists in the idea, the imagination and vision of the creator.

[Sri Aurobindo @integralyog]

By that ideative truth and the power, the perfection and the beauty of his presentation and utterance of it his work must be judged.

More truly, he throws into significant form a truth he has seen, which may be truth of hell or truth of heaven or an immediate truth behind things terrestrial or any other, but is never merely the external truth of earth.

It is not impossible for man to realise his ideals so that he may move on to yet greater undreamed things, but on condition that he makes them totally an inner in order that they may become too an outer reality.

The education of a human being should begin at birth and continue throughout his life.

Now it is not by social and political devices, or at any rate not by these chiefly or only, that the unity of the human race can be enduringly or fruitfully accomplished.

Evil, what we call evil, has its indispensable place in the whole. It will not be felt as evil the moment one becomes conscious of That — necessarily.

#TheMother #IntegralYoga #Consciousness

[Sri Aurobindo @integralyog]

Evil is this infinitesimal element looking at its infinitesimal consciousness; but as consciousness is essentially one, it resumes, regains the #Consciousness of the Unity — the two together. It is that, yes, it is that which has to be realised.
