Sri Aurobindo was a great historical figure who fought endlessly to enlighten the darkness of Indian society in every possible way.

Sri Aurobindo, born as Aurobindo Ghose, was an Indian nationalist, scholar, philosopher, spiritual reformer and poet. He initially worked as a journalist and went on to participate in the Indian freedom movement against the British rule in India. Later, he left politics and devoted himself into spiritual practices. He shared various principles about life, divinity, love and more that still inspire a lot of people around the world. While staying at Pondicherry, he developed a spiritual practice named Integral Yoga which could connect human mind to the nirvana. He penned a poem 'Savitri: A Legend and a Symbol and also several books such as 'The Life Divine', 'Synthesis of Yoga' etc.

Here are some inspirational quotes by Sri Aurobindo:

"An aimless life is always a troubled life. Every individual should have an aim. But do not forget that the quality of your aim will depend the quality of your life. Your aim should be high and wide, generous and disinterested; this will make your life precious to yourself and to others. Whatever your ideal, it cannot be perfectly realized unless you have realized perfection in yourself."

"The Divine Truth is greater than any religion or creed or scripture or idea or philosophy."

"The sense of impossibility is the beginning of all possibilities."

"The highest spirituality indeed moves in a free and wide air far above that lower stage of seeking which is governed by religious form and dogma; it does not easily bear their limitations and, even when it admits, it transcends them; it lives in an experience which to the formal religious mind is unintelligible."

"“Perfect health, sincerity, honesty, straightforwardness, courage, disinterestedness, unselfishness, patience, endurance, perseverance, peace, calm, self-control are all things that are taught infinitely better by example than by beautiful speeches."

"True knowledge is not attained by thinking. It is what you are; it is what you become."

"We have to create strength where it did not exist before; we have to change our natures, and become new men with new hearts, to be born again."

"I learned that when reason died, then Wisdom was born; before that liberation, I had only knowledge."

"“The practice of Yoga brings us face to face with the extraordinary complexity of our own being."

"“Peace is the first condition, without which nothing else can be stable."

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

"What is required is faith. Man has body, life and mind but that is not all that constitutes man. He has risen to the mind as a result of evolution. Now a higher consciousness will be evolved - this I call Super mind. It is the instrument of the Divine Consciousness, the Truth-Consciousness."
