What comes from outside, one mistakes it as coming from inside. So many thoughts etc. move about outside in the universal - these manifest inside you. All these you must push away as foreign to you and the inside must be made peaceful, calm and quiet; then it will start descending from above.
Sri AurobindoWith which part do you watch? Surely with the mind? That won't do. It is the silent Purusha within who must watch all.
Sri AurobindoWhat do you want to do sadhana for? The aim should not be the satisfaction of egoism: "I want to be a great yogi; I shall have so much power and with that power I shall establish myself in the world." All such thoughts must be thrown far away.
Sri AurobindoEven in rags I am a god,fallen I am divine,high I triumph when down-trod,long I live when slain!
Sri Aurobindo
