The anarchic is the true divine state of man in the end as in the beginning; but in between it would lead us straight to the devil and his kingdom.
Sri AurobindoWatch the too indignantly righteous. Before long you will find them committing or condoning the very offence which they have so fiercely censured.
Sri AurobindoAs often as Herman had witnessed the slaughter of animals and fish, he always had the same thought: in their behaviour toward creatures, all men were Nazis.

Sri AurobindoLove is the keynote, Joy is the music, Knowledge is the performer, the Infinite All is the composer and audience.
Sri AurobindoWhat you call the psychic being is the mind of the vital. The heart is the seat of this mind. And this mind is the essence of the senses. It receives things from outside, acts upon things that are outside - knows, gives consent, takes interest in them. But this mind cannot be the Ishwara, but it is the knower, the giver of the consent.
