The navel region is the centre of the vital. It is from here that the movements of the vital rise upward. Above the navel and behind the chest is the centre of the play of emotions and below this takes place the play of the physical. Mulฤdhฤra is the base of the physical. In between the Mulฤdhฤra and the navel, there is another centre of the vital.
Sri AurobindoTo be free from all egoistic motive, careful of truth in speech and action, void of self-will and self-assertion, watchful in all things, is the condition for being a flawless servant.
Sri AurobindoThe yogin becomes aware in part of the action of the supramental power organizing the lower vehicle (ฤdhฤra). A part of it remains behind the veil and prepares itself.
Sri AurobindoPerfect health, sincerity, honesty, straightforwardness, courage, disinterestedness, unselfishness, patience, endurance, perseverance, peace, calm, self control are all things that are taught infinitely better by example than by beautiful speeches.
Sri Aurobindo
