“What we propose in our yoga is nothing less than to break up the whole formation of our past and present which makes up the ordinary material and mental man and to create a new center of attention and a new universe of activities in ourselves which shall constitute a divine humanity or a superhuman nature …”
—Sri Aurobindo, The Synthesis of Yoga, p. 66
“Sri Aurobindo came to tell the world of the beauty of the future that must be realised. He came to give not a hope but a certitude of the splendor towards which the world moves. The world is not an unfortunate accident, it is a marvel which moves towards its expression. The world needs the certitude of the beauty of the future. And Sri Aurobindo has given that assurance.”
—The Mother, Collected Works of the Mother, Vol. 13, p. 15

Sri Aurobindo’s teaching • Wikipedia
Sri Aurobindo, one of the foremost Indian philosophers of the 20th century, was a political activist, poet, cultural commentator, mystic, and spiritual leader. He mastered 11 languages and was nominated for the 1950 Nobel Prize in literature. His teachings synthesize the rational clarity and impulse toward material perfection of the West, the profound spiritual wisdom of the East, and a new vision for a supramental life on earth.
