The experiences of your past life which are stored within come up to the surface to be rejected. By rejecting all these by and by the inside will have to be cleansed.

Sri Aurobindo

If a religion is not universal, it cannot be eternal. A narrow religion, a sectarian religion, an exclusive religion can live only for a limited time and a limited purpose.
SRI AUROBINDO

Forever Limitation Purpose Religion Time Universe
Our human knowledge is a candle burnt On a dim altar to a sun-vast Truth.
SRI AUROBINDO

To have a developed intellect is always helpful if one can enlighten it from above and turn it to a divine use.
SRI AUROBINDO

Be conscious first of thyself within, then think and act. All living thought is a world in preparation; all real act is a thought manifested. The material world exists because an idea began to play in divine self–consciousness.
SRI AUROBINDO

The Atheist is God playing at hide and seek with Himself.

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

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.
SRI AUROBINDO
