" "
But now the Light supreme is far away:
Our conscious life obeys the inconscience’ laws;
To ignorant purposes and blind desires
Our hearts are moved by an ambiguous force;
Even our mind’s conquests wear a battered crown.

A slowly changing order binds our will.

This is our doom until our souls are free.

Additional quotes by Aurobindo Ghosh

The value of our actions lies not so much in their apparent nature and outward result as in their help towards the growth of the divine within us.

I have failed, thou sayest. Say rather that God is circling about towards His object.

Inflicting on the heights the abysm’s law,
It sullies with its mire heaven’s messengers:
Its thorns of fallen nature are the defence
It turns against the saviour hands of Grace;
It meets the sons of God with death and pain.
