Quote by Sri Aurobindo

“Assigner of the ordeal and the path Who chooses in this holocaust of the soul Death, fall and sorrow as the spirit’s goads, The dubious godhead with his torch of pain Lit up the chasm of the unfinished world And called her to fill with her vast self the abyss. 01.02_004:010”
