Additional quotes by Aurobindo Ghosh

The first step on this long path is to consecrate all our works as a sacrifice to the Divine in us and in the world.

When I had the dividing reason, I shrank from many things; after I had lost it in sight, I hunted through the world for the ugly and the repellant, but I could no longer find them.

To thy lover, O Lord, the railing of the world is wild honey and the pelting of stones by the mob is summer rain on the body. For is it not Thou that railest and peltest, and is it not Thou in the stones that strikest and hurtest me?

Very usually, altruism is only the sublimest form of selfishness. - Aurobindo Ghosh
