Some Words of Sri Aurobindo from the Life Divine 

The Human aspiration

The earliest preoccupation of man in his awakened thoughts and, as it seems, his inevitable and ultimate
preoccupation, — for it survives the longest periods of scepticism and returns after every banishment, — is also the highest which his thought can envisage. It manifests itself in the divination of Godhead, the impulse towards perfection, the search after pure Truth and unmixed Bliss, the sense of a secret immortality. The ancient dawns of human knowledge have left us their witness to this constant aspiration; today we see a humanity satiated but not satisfied by victorious analysis of the externalities of Nature preparing to return to its primeval longings. The earliest formula of Wisdom promises to be its last, — God, Light, Freedom, Immortality.


These persistent ideals of the race are at once the contradiction of its normal experience and the affirmation of higher and deeper experiences which are abnormal to humanity and only to be attained, in their organised entirety, by a revolutionary individual effort or an evolutionary general progression. To know, possess and be the divine being in an animal and egoistic consciousness, to convert our twilit or obscure physical mentality into the plenary supramental illumination, to build peace and a self-existent bliss where there is only a stress of transitory satisfactions besieged by physical pain and emotional suffering, to establish an infinite freedom in a world which presents itself as a group of mechanical necessities, to discover and realise the immortal life in a body subjected to death and constant mutation, — this is offered to us as the manifestation of God in Matter and the goal of Nature in her terrestrial evolution. .....................................

இதயத்தின் எழுச்சி

• ஆதி நாள் முதல் மனிதன் தேடுபவை இறைவன், ஜோதி, சுதந்திரம், அமரத்துவம்.
• நாம் காணும் வாழ்வு இந்த இலட்சியத்திற்கு நேர் எதிரானது. உடன்பாட்டை முரண்பாடாக வெளிப்படுத்துவதே இயற்கை செயல்படும் முறை.
