The Mother's Birthday

Her single will opposed the cosmic rule.
To stay the wheels of Doom this greatness rose.

The Mother's Final Arrival Day

Shun all lowness, narrowness and shallowness in religious thought and experience. Be wider than the widest horizons, be loftier than the highest Kanchanjungha, be profounder than the deepest oceans.

Sri Aurobindo

Sri Aurobindo's Birthday

Avoid the imagination that the supramental life will be only a heightened satisfaction of the desires of the vital and the body; nothing can be a greater obstacle to the Truth in its descent than this hope of glorification of the animal in the human nature. Mind wants the supramental state to be a confirmation of its own cherished ideas and preconceptions; the vital wants it to be a glorification of its own desires; the physical wants it to be a rich prolongation of its own com- forts and pleasures and habits. If it were to be that, it would be only an exaggerated and highly magnified consummation of the animal and the human nature, not a transition from the human into the Divine.

Siddhi Day

The world will trouble you so long as any part of you belongs to the world. It is only if you belong entirely to the Divine that you can become free.
