My Pilgrimage to the Spirit

  Sri Aurobindo : corresp.


To the World

###April 25, 1932

Q. Should my attitude towards the world be only to remain detached from it? Is there no positive side to it?

A. That (detachment) is the basis: detachment with a quiet goodwill not disturbed by what they seem to be or do.

That is a necessary element. What is positive, should come through union with the Divine, not in a separate relation to others.

Sri Aurobindo


###April 21, 1932

Why do you allow yourself in the least to be troubled and concerned by what people say about you? It is for you to see whether there is any shadow of truth in what is said about or to you by others: If there is, you can yourself put it right in yourself; if there is no truth, then what is said is not worth notice.

We can't prevent gossip and talk and fault-finding by decree; it is from within themselves that people must change in this matter.

Sri Aurobindo
