Sri Aurobindo

[Guest guest]

If thy aim be great and thy means small, still act;

for by action alone these can increase to thee

 

Immortality, unity and freedom are in ourselves and await there our

discovery.

 

When, O eager disputant, thou hast prevailed in a debate,

then are thou greatly to be pitied,

for thou hast lost a chance of widening knowledge.

 

Systematise we must, but even in making and holding the system, we

should always keep firm hold on this truth that all systems are in

their nature transitory and incomplete.

 

If thou wouldst not be the fool of Opinion,

first see wherein thy thought is true,

then study wherein its opposite and contradiction is true;

last, discover thy cause of these differences and the key of God's

harmony.

 

They proved to me by convincing reasons that God does not exist.

Afterwards I saw God, for He came and embraced me.

And now which am I to believe,

the reasonings of others or my own experience?

 

Banish all thought from thee and be God's void.

 

....not by Reason was creation made

And not by Reason can the Truth be seen.

 

Adore and what you adore attempt to be.

 

Ascend to thy high self, create, embrace.

Ascend from Nature to divinity's heights.
