Additional quotes by Aurobindo Ghosh

An instant's visitor the godhead shone.
On life's thin border awhile the Vision stood And bent over earth's pondering forehead curve. Interpreting a recondite beauty and bliss In colour's hieroglyphs of mystic sense, It wrote the lines of a significant myth Telling of a greatness of spiritual dawns, A brilliant code penned with the sky for page.

Gandhi, who assumed leadership of the nationalist movement several years after Aurobindo's withdrawal from politics, he was more deeply committed to the liberation of Indian consciousness than to political independence.

The way of yoga followed here has a different purpose from others, — for its aim is not only to rise out of the ordinary ignorant world-consciousness into the divine consciousness, but to bring the supramental power of that divine consciousness down into the ignorance of mind, life and body, to transform them, to manifest the Divine here and create a divine life in Matter.
