He turned his head towards me … and I saw in his eyes that it was He. The two things clicked, the inner experience immediately became one with the outer experience
At the Feet of The Mother
Selections
from writings of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother
The same consciousness which was the monopoly of the vital and the mind has become that of the body: the consciousness is working in the cells of the body.
TEXT IN ENGLISH
Any well-planned and scientifically arranged programme of exercises practised with a yogic attitude will become yogic exercises [...]
... if you want to have a divine consciousness, you must not give up spiritual aspiration; but if you want to become an integral divine being on earth, take good care not to let go of the other end, and make your body the best possible instrument.
We have limbs and muscles and nerves, indeed everything that constitutes the body; if we don't give them a special development, a special education, all these things do what they can to express the Power in the body, but it is a very clumsy and very incomplete expression.
TEXT IN ENGLISH
Nothing great is ever accomplished without endurance. If you study the lives of great men you will see how they set themselves like flint against the weaknesses of the vital.
I know that from the external point of view we are below many of the present achievements in this world, but our aim is not a perfection in accordance with the human standards.

The Mother's words (TEXT)
O divine law of beauty and love, supreme liberator, there is no obstacle to Thy power. Only our own blindness deprives us of the comforting sight of Thy constant victory.
The Mother's words (TEXT)
Give them all, O Lord, Thy peace and light, open their blinded eyes and their darkened understanding; calm their futile worries and their vain anxieties.

THE Presence - a Presence ... An absolutely concrete presence. And it is He who told me, "First Krishna, then Sri Aurobindo, then I."
Sri Aurobindo has given up his body in an act of supreme unselfishness, renouncing the realisation in his own body to hasten the hour of the collective realisation.
"... seeing all this, the imminence of the catastrophe, there was a sort of call or aspiration to bring down something that could at least neutralize that error. And it came, an answer [...] if I translate it into words, I may say something like this: “That’s why you have created Auroville.”
"Vision and dream were fables spoken by truth
Or symbols more veridical than fact,
Or were truths enforced by supernatural seals."
(Savitri, Book I, Canto 3, p. 30)
"The particular things seen may be of no importance, but the power of seeing is of importance and can be of great help in the Yoga. It enables you to see things belonging to other planes (other than the physical) and get knowledge that is useful for sadhana; also to have concrete contact with the Mother in those planes (mental, vital, psychic worlds) etc."
