Magic and mystery are part and parcel ...

The machinery has been absurdly inadequate, the organisation nil, the means at our disposal pitiably small, the real workers few and mostly obscure, and yet the Indian world has stood amazed and the Anglo-Indian aghast at the vast and incommensurate results of an apparatus so inefficient.

Valmiki, Vyasa, and Kalidasa are the three greatest poets of India, and one cannot have a living experience of Indian culture without some direct experience of the works of these three great poets.

Socrates stands in the Western world as an inspiring figure of a quest that wants to examine life, even at the peril of death. For Socrates, death is only a passage in the immortal life of a soul, a passage to the company of the great seers and sages, of the great heroic souls who live immortally in the world of universality and to converse with whom is indescribable joy... Western Thought, and indeed on the entire history of World-Thought. It is to Plato that we owe so much for leaving to humanity a living testimony of the one who knew how to live, why to live and even how to die, so that knowledge may triumph, heroism may always remain triumphant. This monograph is an attempt to give to young seekers of the world a glimpse of that rare sage of illumination and that ...

But even from his retreat in Pondicherry he had a clear view of the Indian and world situation, and was ready to exert the force that was in his hands—a higher mental or intuitive power of consciousness and, after 1926, an overmental consciousness. Mere words could be misleading... IV Politics Not much need be said about Sri Aurobindo's politics. While an undergraduate at Cambridge, he was not only an active member of the Majlis but he also joined an Indian Secret Society, functioning from London, known as the 'Lotus and the Dagger'. On his return to India, he contributed a series of articles to the Indu Prakash, entitled 'New Lamps for Old', criticising ...

As for the sub-title, even as Sri Aurobindo's Writings are not isolable from his Life, his Life too is not easily isolable from the mainstream of Indian and world history.

... and not that of a more or less outer sensibility. For the Indian artist is a seer or rishi; what he envisages is the mystery, the truth and beauty of another world – a real, not merely a mental or imaginative world, as real as this material creation that we see and touch; it is indeed more real, for it is the basic world, the world of fundamental truths and realities behind this universe of... form of the art of photography. The side-view takes us behind the world of forms, into the world of movement, of rhythm. And behind or above the world of movement, again, there is a world of typal realities, essential form-movements, fundamental modes of consciousness in its universal and transcendent status. It is this that the Indian artist endeavours to envisage and express. A Greek Apollo or... naturalness persists, though the appearance is not naturalistic. What Indian art gives is not the feeling of actuality or this sense of naturalness, but a feeling of truth, a sense of reality – of the deepest reality.

"a new and better world" could have a chance of emergence: It is, as in Yoga, where things active or latent in the being have to be put into action in the light so that they may be grappled with and thrown out or to emerge from latency in the depths for the same purificatory purpose. 5 The night was very dark indeed, but the coming of dawn was inevitable, and the new world struggling to be... in China, pushing Chiang Kaishek more and more into the background, was another. It was as though, within three years of the exorcising of the Hitlerite terror, another darkness was enveloping the world. Replying to a correspondent who had struck a pessimistic note, Sri Aurobindo wrote on 18 July 1948 that he could hold out but cold comfort to those who lamented the current situation. Things were certainly ...

Therefore the Nationalist party, custodians of the future, must wait for the man who is to come, calm in the midst of calamity, hopeful under defeat, sure of eventual emergence and triumph and always mindful of the responsibility which they owe not only to their Indian posterity but to the world. 1 The movement of Indian independence (swaraj) was... regenerator of society, the captain of co-operative industry, with the soul of the poet, scholar and artist.

Superficially, of course, Sri Aurobindo left for Pondicherry because Chandernagore was too inconveniently and dangerously near Calcutta, the storm-centre of the Indian political world of those days; at distant Pondicherry, he would not be as easily accessible to the police spies of the Bengal Government. But was there not a deeper reason as well? That could have been provided ...

Not our strength but the Shakti of God is the sādhaka of this Yoga. 7 Towards the end of the letter, Sri Aurobindo enters a forceful caveat against the only too common Bengali - or Indian - tendency to skip the discipline of sheer thought-power.

He had not forgotten the continuing fact of India's political subjection, but he felt he shouldn't act except from a ground of total competence; and, besides, he now began to see the Indian problem as a part of a larger problem - the human condition everywhere.
