The advent of Sri Aurobindo & The Mother was like a 'Breath of Grace' on earth. The recollections of sadhaks provide a rare & intimate view of that golden era.

THEME/S
SRI AUROBINDO: There are two movements in this Yoga:
(i) The mind's stillness – thoughts do not come from the brain or physical mind, but come like that (with a gesture), and (ii) aspiration or will turned up, not a will that pulls down. Don't feel yourself in the brain, but in the heart…. There should not be any strain on the brain …
Q: Can we manage without the use of the brain in reading and writing?
SRI AUROBINDO: Yes. Not that the brain does not function, but you will rise above it, rise above the physical mind and watch from there.
Q: Can we station ourselves always there?
SRI AUROBINDO: Yes…. Will does not exhaust. It is the resistance of the mind that exhausts. I think there is no serious obstacle in your vital being or physical being. The only obstacle now is your mental activity, eagerness. Eagerness there may be, but it must be that of the heart, intense. The mind must not mix up with it….
