Desire is an impulse: it seizes you, you know, it clings to you, holds you. And then, if you let desire do what it likes, well, it makes you do anything at all, and it makes use of your will. But usually, a desire is something violent, passionate and transient. Rarely is it very sustained; it does not have the stuff, the organisation of a sustained effort. When a desire seizes you, it can make you do anything whatever—but impulsively, not methodically.
To raise the world to God in deathless Light,
To bring God down to the world on earth we came,
To change the earthly life to Life Divine. ~ Sri Aurobindo
The best way to express one’s gratitude to the Divine is to feel simply happy. ~ The Mother
Without him, I exist not; without me, he is unmanifest. – The Mother
When mind is still, then truth gets her chance to be heard in the purity of the silence. ~ Sri Aurobindo
To know is good,
To live is better,
To be, that is perfect
~ The Mother
