“There is no doubt that truth is to falsehood as light is to darkness; and so excellent a thing is truth that even when it touches humble and lowly matters, it still incomparably exceeds the uncertainty and falsehood in which great and elevated discourses are clothed; because even if falsehood be the fifth element of our minds, notwithstanding this, truth is the supreme nourishment of the higher intellects.” IfsMindStillsMatterLightTruthDarknessDoubtHigherTruth IsElementsHumbleIntellectSupremeUncertaintyExcellentNo DoubtFalsehoodDiscourseFifthExceedNourishmentFifth Element Book:Thoughts on art and life Source: Thoughts on art and life
“India of the ages is not dead nor has she spoken her last creative word; she lives and has still something to do for herself and the human peoples. And that which must seek now to awake is not an anglicised oriental people, docile pupil of the West and doomed to repeat the cycle of the occident's success and failure, but still the ancient immemorable Shakti recovering her deepest self, lifting her head higher towards the supreme source of light and strength and turning to discover the complete meaning and a vaster form of her Dharma.” PeopleHumansStillsSelfLightAgeLastsFormCreativeSourceHigherIndiaWestAncientSupremeAwakeRepeatsCyclesDoomedLiftingDharmaSuccess And FailurePupilsRecoveringDocileShakti Author:Sri Aurobindo
