Audio and transcript of a talk by Prof. Mangesh V Nadkarni
"The only creature who is tragic is man. He has lost the innocence of the beasts, he is yet to achieve the perfection of gods. Mind is what has made the human enterprise tragic. "
"As long as the human mind is what it is, it is fully capable of twisting and perverting even the highest truth when it comes. And that is why Sri Aurobindo's aim was to go beyond the mind such that this perverting path of the mind can be completely abolished."
"...It is only divine Love which can bear the burden I have to bear, that all have to bear who have sacrificed everything else to the one aim of uplifting earth out of its darkness to the Divine" - from a letter of Sri Aurobindo, 1934
