The Divine Truth is greater than any religion or creed or scripture or idea or philosophy.
SRI AUROBINDO

Divine Greatness Idea Philosophy Religion Truth

SRI AUROBINDO

Act Consciousness Idea Material Play Preparation Thinking

SRI AUROBINDO

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
