All thoughts, desires, conventions, attachments which come from outside must be ruthlessly pushed away.
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 AurobindoThreefold are those supreme births of this divine force that is in the world, they are true, they are desirable; he moves there wide-overt within the Infinite and shines pure, luminous and fulfilling.... Of that which is in mortal in mortals, and possessed of the truth, is a God and established inwardly as an energy working out in our divine powers.... Become high uplifted, O Strength, pierce all veils, manifest in as the things of the Godhead.
Sri Aurobindo
