Aurom
What is the use of admiring Nature or worshipping her as a Power, a Presence and a goddess ? What is the use, either, of appreciating her aesthetically or artistically ? The secret is to enjoy her with the soul as one enjoys a woman with the body.

If thou canst not love the vilest worm and the foulest of criminals, how canst thou believe that thou hast accepted God in thy spirit ? |

"It's better to burn out than to fade away." (Neil Young)
Aurom
Plan not with the intellect, but let thy divine sight arrange thy plans for thee. When a means comes to thee as thing to be done, make that thy aim; as for the end, it is, in world, accomplishing itself and, in thy soul, already accomplished.
Aurom
When I read a wearisome book through and with pleasure, yet
perceived all the perfection of its wearisomeness, then I knew that my mind was conquered.
Aurom
After I knew that God was a woman, I learned something from far-off about love; but it was only when I became a woman and served my Master and Paramour that I knew love utterly.
Aurom
The many strive after competence or riches, the few embrace poverty as a bride; but, for thyself, strive after and embrace God only. Let Him choose for thee a king's palace or the bowl of the beggar.
Aurom
Great saints have performed miracles; greater saints have railed at them; the greatest have both railed at them and performed them.
Aurom
Because a good man dies or fails and the evil live and triumph, is God therefore evil ? I do not see the logic of the consequence. I must first be convinced that death and failure are evil; I sometimes think that when they come, they are our supreme momentary good. But we are the fools of our hearts and nerves and argue that what they do not like or desire, must of course be an evil!
Aurom
When I look back on my past life, I see that if I had not failed and suffered, I would have lost my life's supreme blessings; yet at the time of the suffering and failure, I was vexed with the sense of calamity. Because we cannot see anything but the one fact under our noses, therefore we indulge in all these snifflings and clamours. Be silent, ye foolish hearts! slay the ego, learn to see and feel vastly and universally.
Aurom
The love of solitude is a sign of the disposition towards knowledge; but knowledge itself is only achieved when we have a settled perception of solitude in the crowd, in the battle and in the mart.
Aurom
Knowledge is a child with its achievements; for when it has found out something, it runs about the streets whooping and shouting; Wisdom conceals hers for a long time in a thoughtful and mighty silence.

You must not make any mental rules. Do according to your inner needs. Reading is not harmful in itself.
(Sri Aurobindo)

Touche´...
Aurom
back to topic...
Either do not give the name of knowledge to your beliefs only and of error, ignorance or charlatanism to the beliefs of others, or do not rail at the dogmas of the sects and their intolerance.

...and certainly NOT one of his aphorisms. it is quoted either from his
"Letters on Yoga" or
"Evening Talks", and as a particular answer to a particular person´s question in a particular situation it can´t be generalised...
