Evolution of consciousness is the central motive of terrestrial existence.

The consciousness of the seer, is a greater power for knowledge than the consciousness of the thinker. The perceptual power of the inner sight is greater and more direct than the perceptual power of thought: ...

Love is the keynote, Joy is the music, Knowledge is the performer, the Infinite All is the composer and audience.

He who chooses the infinite has been chosen by the infinite.

Care not for time and success. Act out thy part, whether it be to fail or to prosper.

The soul in man is greater than his fate...

For the powers of our mind, life, and body are bound to their own limitations, and however high they may rise or however widely expand, they cannot rise beyond them. But still, mental man can open to what is beyond him and call down a Supramental Light, Truth, and Power to work in him and do what the mind cannot do. If mind cannot by effort become what is beyond mind, Supermind can descend and transform mind into its own substance.

Is it true that existence consists only in the action of energy? Or is it not rather that energy is an output of Existence?

Everyone has in him something divine, something his own, a chance of perfection and strength in however small a sphere which God offers him to take or refuse. The task is to find it, develop it & use it. The chief aim of education should be to help the growing soul to draw out that in itself which is best and make it perfect for a noble use.

By your stumbling, the world is perfected.

In order to see, you have to stop being in the middle of the picture

The progressive growth of the finite consciousness of man towards this Self, towards the universal , the eternal, the infinite, in a word his growth into spiritual consciousness by the development of his ordinary ignorant natural being into an illumined divine nature, this is for Indian thinking the significance of life and the aim of human existance.

But few are those who tread the sunlit path; Only the pure in soul can walk in light.

Life is life - whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man's own advantage.

The supreme state of human love is...the unity of one soul in two bodies.

Man is a transitional being. He is not final. The step from man to superman is the next approaching achievement in the earth evolution. It is inevitable because it is at once the intention of the inner spirit and the logic of nature's process.
