Sri Aurobindo

A thought is an arrow shot at the truth; it can hit a point, but not cover the whole target. But the archer is too well satisfied with his success to ask anything farther.
SRI AUROBINDO

True knowledge is not attained by thinking. It is what you are; it is what you become.
SRI AUROBINDO

Care not for time and success. Act out thy part, whether it be to fail or to prosper.
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.
