That which we call the Hindu religion is really the Eternal religion because it embraces all others.
Sri AurobindoTo have a developed intellect is always helpful if one can enlighten it from above and turn it to a divine use.
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 AurobindoWhat 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.
