Hard is it to be in the world, free, yet living the life of ordinary men; but because it is hard, therefore it must be attempted and accomplished.

More quotes by Sri Aurobindo

Differences of credal belief are to the Indian mind nothing more than various ways of seeing the one Self and Godhead in all.

A narrow religion, a sectarian religion, an exclusive religion can live only for a limited time and a limited purpose.

The Uttarpara Address (1909)

The spirit expresses itself in many ways while itself remaining essentially the same but the body must change to suit its changing environments if it wishes to live.

All religions have some truth in them, but none has the whole truth; all are created in time and finally decline and perish.

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.
