Sri Aurobindo frasi celebri

“L'idea aggressiva e del tutto illogica di un'unica religione per l'intera umanità, una religione universale che si fa forza della sua stessa della sua limitatezza, un unico insieme di dogmi, un solo culto, un solo sistema di cerimonie, un'ordinanza ecclesiastica, una serie di proibizioni e ingiunzioni che tutte le menti devono accettare col pericolo di persecuzione da parte di uomini e il rifiuto spirituale o la punizione eterna da parte di Dio, quella creazione grottesca dell'umana irragionevolezza che è stata la sorgente di tanta intolleranza, crudeltà, oscurantismo e fanatismo aggressivo, non è mai stata in grado di prendere possesso della mentalità indiana.”

Sri Aurobindo

“Essi mi hanno detto: "Queste cose sono allucinazioni". Mi sono informato su che cosa fosse un'allucinazione, ed ho scoperto che sta ad indicare un'esperienza soggettiva o psichica che non corrisponde ad alcuna realtà oggettiva o fisica. Allora mi sono seduto e mi sono meravigliato dei miracoli della ragione umana.”

Sri Aurobindo

“Un pensiero è una freccia scagliata sulla verità: può colpire un punto, ma non coprire la totalità del bersaglio. L'arciere è però troppo soddisfatto del proprio successo per chiedere di più.”

Frasi sull'anima di Sri Aurobindo

Sri Aurobindo

Il dio che sorride

“La malattia tornerà sempre nel corpo se l'anima è malata; poiché i peccati della mente sono la causa segreta dei peccati del corpo. Allo stesso modo la povertà e le preoccupazioni torneranno sempre nell'uomo, finché la specie umana resterà sottomessa all'egoismo.”

Sri Aurobindo

Il dio che sorride

“L'ateismo è una protesta necessaria contro la perversità delle Chiese e la ristrettezza delle fedi. Dio lo usa come una pietra per abbattere questi castelli di carte insudiciate.”

Sri Aurobindo

Il dio che sorride

“Il caso non esiste in questo universo; l'idea d'illusione è anch'essa un'illusione. Non c'è mai stata ancora, nella mente umana, un'illusione che non nascondesse una verità o non ne fosse la deformazione.”

Thoughts and Aphorisms (1913), Bhakti

“As you know, I do not believe that the Mahatma's principle [of non-cooperation] can be the true foundation or his programme the true means of bringing out the genuine freedom and greatness of India, her Swarajya and Samrajya. On the other hand … I hold that school [of Tilakite nationalism] to be out of date. My own policy, if I were in the field, would be radically different in principle and programme from both, however it might coincide in certain points. But the country is not yet ready to understand its principle or to execute its programme…. Because I know this very well, I am content to work still on the spiritual and psychic plane, preparing there the ideas and forces, which may afterwards at the right moment and under the right conditions precipitate themselves into the vital and material field….”

India's Rebirth

“India is the meeting-place of the religions and among these Hinduism alone is by itself a vast and complex thing, not so much a religion as a great diversified and yet subtly unified mass of spiritual thought, realisation and aspiration. What will finally come out of all this stir and ferment, lies yet in the future.”

The Renaissance in India (1918)

“Canst thou see God as the bodiless Infinite and yet love Him as a man loves his mistress? Then has the highest truth of the Infinite been revealed to thee. Canst thou also clothe the Infinite in one secret embraceable body and see Him seated in each and all of these bodies that are visible and sensible? Then has its widest and profoundest truth come also into thy possession.”

Thoughts and Aphorisms (1913), Bhakti

“Each language is the sign and power of the soul of the people which naturally speaks it. Each develops therefore its own peculiar spirit, thought-temperament, way of dealing with life and knowledge and experience…. A nation, race or people which loses its language, cannot live its whole life or its real life. And this advantage to the national life is at the same time an advantage to the general life of the human race.”

Thoughts and Glimpses (1916-17)

“The Hindu religion appears … as a cathedral temple, half in ruins, noble in the mass, often fantastic in detail but always fantastic with a significance — crumbling or badly outworn in places, but a cathedral temple in which service is still done to the Unseen and its real presence can be felt by those who enter with the right spirit.”

Thoughts and Aphorisms (1913), Karma

“Belief is not a merely intellectual process, belief is not a mere persuasion of the mind, belief is something that is in our heart, and what you believe, you must do, because belief is from God. It is to the heart that God speaks, it is in the heart that God resides…. Here is a work that you have undertaken, a work so gigantic, so stupendous, the means for which are so poor, the resistance to which will be so strong, so organised … and what means have you with which to carry out this tremendous work of yours? If you look at it intellectually, it is hopeless…. This intellectual process, if it is used honestly, if it is followed to the very end, leads you to despair. It leads you to death.”

Thoughts and Aphorisms (1913), Jnana

“Mother India is not a piece of earth; she is a Power, a Godhead, for all nations have such a Devi supporting their separate existence and keeping it in being. Such Beings are as real and more permanently real than the men they influence but they belong to a higher plane, are part of the cosmic consciousness and being and act here on earth by shaping the human consciousness on which they exercise their influence. It is natural for man who sees only his own consciousness individual, national or racial at work and does not see what works upon it and shapes it, to think that all is created by him and there is nothing cosmic and greater behind it.”

“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.”

Lights on Yoga (1935)

“Is it knowledge that is wanting? We Indians, born and bred in a country where Jnana has been stored and accumulated since the race began, bear about in us the inherited gains of many thousands of years…. But it is a dead knowledge, a burden under which we are bowed, a poison which is corroding us, rather than as it should be a staff to support our feet and a weapon in our hands; for this is the nature of all great things that when they are not used or are ill used, they turn upon the bearer and destroy him.”

Then I discovered it was Krishna at His tricks and my hate was changed into laughter.”

“Nor does spirituality mean the moulding of the whole type of the national being to suit the limited dogmas, forms, tenets of a particular religion, as was often enough attempted by the old societies, an idea which still persists in many minds by the power of old mental habit and association; clearly such an attempt would be impossible, even if it were desirable, in a country full of the most diverse religious opinions and harbouring too three such distinct general forms as Hinduism, Islam and Christianity, to say nothing of the numerous special forms to which each of these has given birth.”

Thoughts and Aphorisms (1913), Karma

“If Britons love England with all her faults, why should we fail to love India whose faults were whittled down to an irreducible minimum till foreign conquests threw the whole society out of gear? But instead of being dominated by the natural ambition of carrying the banner of such a civilisation all over the world, we are unable to maintain its integrity in its own native home. This is betraying a trust. This is unworthiness of the worst type. We have not been able to add anything to this precious bequest; on the contrary we have been keeping ourselves and generations yet unborn from a full enjoyment of their lawful heritage….. This was Swami Vivekananda's plan of campaign. India can once more be made conscious of her greatness by an overmastering sense of the greatness of her spirituality. This sense of greatness is the main feeder of all patriotism. This only can put an end to all self-depreciation and generate a burning desire to recover the lost ground.”

Bande Mataram, 1907
India's Rebirth

“Our call is to young India. It is the young who must be the builders of the new world,.. not those who accept the competitive individualism, the capitalism or the materialistic communism of the West as India's future ideal, not those who are enslaved to old religious formulas and cannot believe in the acceptance and transformation of life by the spirit, but all who are free in mind and heart to accept a completer truth and labour for a greater ideal…. It is with a confident trust in the spirit that inspires us that we take our place among the standard-bearers of the new humanity that is struggling to be born amidst the chaos of a world in dissolution, and of the future India, the greater India of the rebirth that is to rejuvenate the mighty outworn body of the ancient Mother.84”
