Sri Aurobindo (1872–1950) was an Indian guru, yogi, writer, and political activist who fought for Indian independence before devoting himself to spiritual life and developing the philosophy of Integral yoga, in which spiritual transcendence within one’s present life is the aim of creation. With his spiritual partner, Mirra Alfassa (called The Mother), Sri Aurobindo established an ashram, now called the Sri Aurobindo Ashram, in Puducherry, India.

FindCenter Quotes ImageI swore that I would not suffer from the world’s grief and the world’s stupidity and cruelty and injustice and I made my heart as hard in endurance as the nether millstone and my mind as a polished surface of steel. I no longer suffered, but enjoyment had passed away from me.
