Sri Aurobindo's Writings

When the Mother fell asleep, who ever hoped That even in the midst of blind darkness She will awake?

Sitting calm and quiet remember the Mother and open yourself to her. This is the rule of meditation.

The white rose signifies loving surrender to the Mother.

The Mother alone is your destination. She contains everything in herself. To have her is to have everything.

What you have heard — that the Mother will do everything and that you must remain immersed in her — is a great truth.

This limitless peace, the more it increases, the better it is. Peace is the foundation of the yoga.

To open the lotus in the heart, to bring the whole nature under the control of the psychic being, this will bring about the New Birth.

The only way to transform nature is to depend on the Mother and quietly reject the ordinary nature and conquer it by degrees.

I have become or am becoming something — whatever God desired. This is sufficient. And it is the same with everybody [...]

You want to give me the charge of your yoga, and I am willing to accept it. But this means giving it to Him who, openly or secretly, is moving me and you by His divine power.

If the Divine is there, then there must be a way of experiencing His existence, of meeting Him; however hard be the path, I have taken a firm resolution to tread it.

The theory of re-incarnation which has been always held in the Aryan religion as a part of the knowledge acquired through yoga, had lost its position among the educated folk, due to the influence of western learning.

The main principle of the Aryan discipline is the sattwic temperament. He who is sattwic is pure; normally all human beings are impure.
