Letters of Sri Aurobindo

Volume II - Part 2

Fragment ID: 11591

The spiritual life and one’s own inner psychic and spiritual change should be the first preoccupation of a sadhak – poetry or painting is something quite subordinate and even then it should be done not to be a great poet or artist but as a help to the inner sadhana. It is time that everyone got away from the vital view of things to the psychic and spiritual on which alone can stand Yoga and the spiritual life.
