All can be done if the god-touch is there

— Sri Aurobindo

All true love and all sacrifice again their essence Nature’s contradiction of the primary egoism bandits separative error; it is her attempt to turn from a necessary firstfragmentation towards a recovered oneness. All unity between creatures is in its essence a self-finding, a fusion with that from which we have separated, a discovery of one’s self in others. But it is only a divine love and unity that can possess in the light what the human forms of these things seek for in the darkness.

— Sri Aurobindo

As in all infant sciences, the universal habit of the human mind - to take a partial or local truth, generalize it unduly and try to explain a whole field of nature in its narrow terms - runs riot here (in psychoanalysis). Moreover, the exaggeration of the importance of suppressed sexual complexes is a dangerous falsehood.

— Sri Aurobindo

A thinking puppet is the mind of life: Its choice is the work of elemental strengths That know not their own birth and end and cause And glimpse not the immense intent they serve. In this nether life of man drab-hued and dull, Yet filled with poignant small ignoble things, The conscious Doll is pushed a hundred ways And feels the push but not the hands that drive. For none can see the masked ironic troupe To whom our figure-selves are marionettes, Our deeds unwitting movements in their grasp, Our passionate strife an entertainment’s scene.

— Sri Aurobindo

But though hast come and all will surely change.

— Sri Aurobindo

... for we perceive that this miraculous development is not the result of our own efforts: an eternal Perfection is molding us into its own image.

— Sri Aurobindo

For what the Spirit sees becomes a truth And what the soul imagines is made a world

— Sri Aurobindo

Indian religion has always felt that since the minds, the temperaments and the intellectual affinities of men are unlimited in their variety, a perfect liberty of thought and of worship must be allowed to the individual in his approach to the Infinite.

— Sri Aurobindo

India saw from the beginning, and, even in her ages of reason and her age of increasing ignorance, she never lost hold of the insight, that life cannot be rightly seen in the sole light, cannot be perfectly lived in the sole power of its externalities.

— Sri Aurobindo

I swore that I would not suffer from the world's grief and the world's stupidity and cruelty and injustice and I made my heart as hard in endurance as the nether millstone and my mind as a polished surface of steel. I no longer suffered, but enjoyment had passed away from me.

— Sri Aurobindo
