An active mind needs an outlet. If it stops by itself from within, well and good; otherwise one should not try to stop this by force.
Sri AurobindoAfter having stopped the lower activities of the mind, it must be made receptive; and, instead of weaving all kinds of empty and idle thoughts, the mind should receive intuitions from above.
Sri AurobindoThe Divine Truth is greater than any religion or creed or scripture or idea or philosophy.
Sri AurobindoThose who have advanced rise to the mind which is in the head, - they have the play of their mental movements in the head itself. But all these are inside the body; man is, as it were, shut up in a box, his entire consciousness is confined within the organism. This imprisonment has to be undone.
Sri Aurobindo
