The road of Yoga is long, every inch of ground has to be won against much resistance and no quality is more needed by the sadhak than patience and singleminded perseverance with a faith that remains firm through all difficulties, delays and apparent failures. #SriAurobindo

Insult, self-respect and other such movements belong to the “ego” and they have no place in the yoga of transformation. #TheMother (CWM-19) To surmount one’s feelings, preferences, dislikes and impulses, is an indispensable discipline here. ~ Words of the Mother-II

Do not try to deceive the Divine. * * * Allow no deception to creep into your consecration to the Divine. Words of #TheMother - II

This Yoga is a spiritual battle; its very attempt raises all sorts of adverse forces and one must be ready to face difficulties, sufferings, reverses of all sorts in a calm unflinching spirit. #SriAurobindo (Letters on Yoga - IV)

I AM THE MYSTERY BEYOND REACH OF MIND... #SriAurobindo (Savitri) Truth is eternally beyond all that we can think or say of it. * * * He who has crossed the gates of the true Knowledge has nothing more to say or to teach. Words of TheMother-II

To talk about the supramental and think of bringing it down in yourself is the most dangerous of all. It may bring an entire megalomania and loss of balance.  #SriAurobindo (Letters on Yoga II)

When we have passed beyond individualising, then we shall be real. Persons Ego was the helper; Ego is the bar. #SriAurobindo (CWSA 13)

Any average man reacts like this—to be pleased when praised and offended when blamed. There is nothing strange about that. But it is absolutely essential for a sadhak to get over this weakness; he must remain unshaken by praise or criticism, honour or insult. #SriAurobindo

Attacks from adverse forces are inevitable: you have to take them as tests on your way and go courageously through the ordeal. * * * If nothing in you responded, if they had no hold upon any part of your nature, they would retire and leave you. #TheMother

For those who are eager to get rid of falsehood here is the way. Do not try to please yourself, do not try either to please others. Try only to please the Lord. Because He alone is the Truth. Words of #TheMother - II

All knowledge ended in the unknowable... #SriAurobindo (Savitri) He who has crossed the gates of the true Knowledge has nothing more to say or to teach. Words of #TheMother - II "A man may have read much and yet be mentally undeveloped." #SriAurobindo (Letters on Yoga IV)

Selfpity is always born of selflove... #SriAurobindo (CWSA-12) What does “self-love” mean? #TheMother : I think self-love is a pleasant word for vanity. Self-love means that one loves oneself more than anything else... #TheMother (CWM-06)

The most important point is that he shall not indulge any spirit of greed or desire under any excuse or colour and should be unaffected in his vital being by the presence or absence of these things that satisfy desire. #SriAurobindo (CWSA 35)

Thy soul has strength and needs no other guide #SriAurobindo The Divine Consciousness must be our only Guide. #TheMother The Yoga does not proceed by upadeśa but by inner influence. ** Purity is to accept no other influence but only the influence of the Divine. #SriAurobindo
