Letters of Sri Aurobindo

Second Series

Fragment ID: 20920

What has happened must now be accepted calmly as the thing decreed and best for his soul’s progress from life to life, though not the best in human eyes which look only at the present and at outside appearance. For the spiritual seeker death is only a passage from one form of life to another, and none is dead but only departed. Look at it as that and shaking from you all reactions of vital grief,– that cannot help him in his journey,– pursue steadfastly the path to the Divine.
