"Mana eva manushyanam karanam bandha mokshayoho" -
"As the mind so the man, bondage or liberation is in your own mind"
Sri Aurobindo
"The form in which one experiences and realizes the Truth
depends on the nature of the path one follows."
The Mother
"Sacrifice is the law of life" "Its not only the saints but
everything in nature, trees, birds, animals – they all live for the sake
of others. When the entire nature sacrifices why should human beings
alone lead selfish lives?"
Sri Swami Satchidananda
"The Nature of your difficulty indicates the Nature
of your victory you will gain."
Sri Aurobindo
"The important thing is this: to be able,
at many moment to sacrifice what we are, for what we can become."
Charles du Bois
"The Truth shall be the leader of their lives,
Truth shall dictate their thought and speech and act,
They shall feel themselves lifted nearer to the sky,
As if a little lower than the gods.
For knowledge shall pour down in radiant streams
And even darkened mind quiver with new life
And kindle and burn with the Ideal's fire
And turn to escape from mortal ignorance.
The frontiers of the Ignorance shall recede.
More and more souls shall enter into light,
Minds lit, inspired, the occult summoner hear
And lives blaze with a sudden inner flame
And hearts grow enamoured of divine delight
And human wills tune to the divine will,
These separate selves the Spirit's oneness feel,
These senses of heavenly sense grow capable,
The flesh and nerves of a strange ethereal joy
And mortal bodies of immortality.
A divine force shall flow through tissue and cell
And take the charge of breath and speech and act
And all the thoughts shall be a glow of suns
And every feeling a celestial thrill.
Often a lustrous inner dawn shall come
Lighting the chambers of the slumbering mind;
A sudden bliss shall run through every limb
And nature with a mightier Presence fill.
Thus shall the earth open to divinity
And common natures feel the wide uplift,
Illumine common acts with the Spirit's ray
And meet the deity in common things.
Nature shall live to manifest secret God.
The Spirit shall take up the human play,
This earthly life become the life divine."
Sri Aurobindo Savitri BookXI: The Book of Everlasting Day 1398-1430
"O Spirit, teach us to heal the body by re-charging it with Thy cosmic energy, to heal the mind by concentration and
smiles and the soul by meditation-born intuition"
Paramahansa Yogananda - "Whispers from Eternity"
"Transform enjoying into an even and objectless ecstasy let all thyself be bliss. This is thy goal."
Sri Aurobindo-"Thoughts and Glimpses"
"Learn to be gentle with others and learn to be gentle with yourself. Violent people are violent because they are not at
peace with themselves. So be gentle to yourself. Then you will be able to express gentleness in your mind, action and speech. It will
come spontaneously."
Swami Rama
"A world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wild flower. Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour"
William Blake
"At the Center of your being you have the answer. You know who you are and you know what you want. There is no need to run
outside for a better seeing, nor peer from a window. Rather, abide at the center of your own being, for the more you leave it,
the less you learn. Always we have hope some other place will be better, some other time it will all turn out. This is it. No one
else has the answer. No other place will be better. And it has already turned out. Search your heart and see….the way to do, is to BE."
Lau Tzu
