Sri Aurobindo and the Mother about the nature and value of money, the relationship between business and spirituality and the true attitude of the disciple towards money. «Money represents a great power of life which must be conquered for divine uses. Therefore you must have no attachment to it but also no disgust or horror of it.» (Sri Aurobindo)

All Life Is Yoga: Money

&quot;The Birthday is truly a special day in one‘s life. lt is one of those days in the year when the Supreme descends into us – or when we are face to face with the Eternal – one of those days when our soul comes in contact with the Eternal and, if we remain a little conscious, we can feel His Presence within us. If we make a little effort on this day, we accomplish the work of many lives as in a lightning flash. That is why I give so much importance to the birthday – because what one gains in one day is truly something incomparable. And it is for this that I also work to open the consciousness a little towards what is above so that one may come before the Eternal. My child, it is a very very special day, for it is the day of decision, the day one can unite with the Supreme Consciousness. For the Lord lifts us on this day to the highest region possible so that our soul which is a portion of that Eternal Flame, may be united and identified with its Origin." (The Mother)

All Life Is Yoga: Significance of Birthdays

Sri Aurobindo was very emphatic in stating that only he could write truly about himself; but he never wrote any comprehensive or systematic account of his life. Only in his correspondence with his disciples and others he sometimes explained points by incidentally referring to some event in his own life or some experience in his own Yogic development. Also on a few occasions he corrected misleading statements concerning him published in some journals and books and gave notes about some points in his life to three of his biographers who had submitted their manuscripts to him for verification. Some of this material has been compiled and presented in a systematic arrangement. In addition, statements by the Mother about Sri Aurobindo and his life and work were added.

A compilation from the works of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother.
 
&quot;What is called “new birth” is the birth into the spiritual life, the spiritual consciousness; it is to carry in oneself something of the spirit which, individually, through the soul, can begin to rule the life and be the master of existence…" – The Mother
 
&quot;The soul, the psychic being, is in direct touch with the divine Truth, but it is hidden in man by the mind, the vital being and the physical nature (manas, prana, anna of the Taittiriya Upanishad). One may practise Yoga and get illuminations in the mind and the reason; one may conquer power and luxuriate in all kinds of experiences in the vital; one may establish even surprising physical siddhis; but if the true soul-power behind does not manifest, if the psychic nature does not come into the front, nothing genuine has been done. In this Yoga, the psychic being is that which opens the rest of the nature to the true supramental light and finally to the supreme Ananda. Mind can open by itself to its own higher reaches; it can still itself and widen into the Impersonal; it may too spiritualise itself in some kind of static liberation or Nirvana; but the supramental cannot find a sufficient base in spiritualised mind alone. If the inmost soul is awakened, if there is a new birth out of the mere mental, vital and physical into the psychic consciousness, then this Yoga can be done; otherwise (by the sole power of the mind or any other part) it is impossible. If there is a refusal of the psychic new birth, a refusal to become the child new born from the Mother, owing to attachment to intellectual knowledge or mental ideas or to some vital desire, then there will be a failure in the sadhana." – Sri Aurobindo

All Life Is Yoga: Surrender and Grace

Creation is not a making of something out of nothing or of one thing out of another, but a self-projection of Brahman into the conditions of Space and Time. (Sri Aurobindo) The Lord and the world, even when they seem to be distinct, are not really different from each other; they are one Brahman. (Sri Aurobindo)

All Life Is Yoga: Creation and Creator

&quot;To find highest beauty is to find God; to reveal, to embody, to create, as we say, highest beauty is to bring out of our souls the living image and power of God." (Sri Aurobindo) 
 
&quot;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 splendour 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)

All Life Is Yoga: The Beauty of the Future

Selections from the works of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother on Yoga, health and healing.
 
&quot;Instead of being upset and struggling, the best thing to do is to offer one’s body to the Divine with the sincere prayer, “Let Thy Will be done.” If there is any possibility of cure, it will establish the best conditions for it; and if cure is impossible, it will be the very best preparation for getting out of the body and the life without it. In any case the first indispensable condition is a quiet surrender to the Divine’s will." – The Mother

All Life Is Yoga: Illness - Causes and Cure

This book is an attempt to develop a deeper insight and love for nature through her infinite moods and expressions; the rocks, the trees, the animals, the sun, the wind, the rain and the storm and to perceive in them the vibrant energy, the secret consciousness, the Divine presence.

&quot;Aspiration is the call of the being for higher things – for the Divine, for all that belongs to the higher or Divine Consciousness." (Sri Aurobindo)
 
&quot;This taste for supreme adventure is aspiration – an aspiration which takes hold of you completely and flings you, without calculation and without reserve and without a possibility of withdrawal, into the great adventure of the divine discovery, the great adventure of the divine meeting, the yet greater adventure of the divine Realisation." (The Mother)

All Life Is Yoga: Aspiration

Sri Aurobindo and the Mother on meditation, concentration and contemplation. «What do you call meditation? Shutting the eyes and concentrating? It is only one method for calling down the true consciousness. To join with the true consciousness or feel its descent is the only thing important and if it comes without the orthodox method, as it always did with me, so much the better. Meditation is only a means or device, the true movement is when even walking, working or speaking one is still in sadhana.» (Sri Aurobindo)

All Life Is Yoga: Meditation

Concentration does not mean meditation; on the contrary, concentration is a state one must be in continuously, whatever the outer activity. By concentration I mean that all the energy, all the will, all the aspiration must be turned only towards the Divine and His integral realisation in our consciousness.

All Life Is Yoga: Concentration

Selections from the works of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. 
 
&quot;…the individuals who will most help the future of humanity in the new age will be those who will recognise a spiritual evolution as the destiny and therefore the great need of the human being. Even as the animal man has been largely converted into a mentalised and at the top a highly mentalised humanity, so too now or in the future an evolution or conversion – it does not greatly matter which figure we use or what theory we adopt to support it – of the present type of humanity into a spiritualised humanity is the need of the race and surely the intention of Nature; that evolution or conversion will be their ideal and endeavour. They will be comparatively indifferent to particular belief and form and leave men to resort to the beliefs and forms to which they are naturally drawn. They will only hold as essential the faith in this spiritual conversion, the attempt to live it out and whatever knowledge – the form of opinion into which it is thrown does not so much matter – can be converted into this living. They will especially not make the mistake of thinking that this change can be effected by machinery and outward institutions; they will know and never forget that it has to be lived out by each man inwardly or it can never be made a reality for the kind. They will adopt in its heart of meaning the inward view of the East which bids man seek the secret of his destiny and salvation within; but also they will accept, though with a different turn given to it, the importance which the West rightly attaches to life and to the making the best we know and can attain the general rule of all life." – Sri Aurobindo

All Life Is Yoga: True Leadership

“Even if Science – physical Science or occult Science – were to discover the necessary conditions or means for an indefinite survival of the body, still, if the body could not adapt itself so as to become a fit instrument of expression for the inner growth, the soul would find some way to abandon it and pass on to a new incarnation. The material or physical causes of death are not its sole or its true cause; its true inmost reason is the spiritual necessity for the evolution of a new being.” (Sri Aurobindo)

All Life Is Yoga: Death and Rebirth

“The time of religions is over. We have entered the age of universal spirituality, of spiritual experience in its initial purity.” (The Mother) “The Truth of the Divine which is the spiritual reality behind all religions and the descent of the supramental which is not known to any religion are the sole things which will be the foundation of the work of the future.” (Sri Aurobindo)

All Life Is Yoga: Yoga and Religion

A compilation from the works of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother.
 
&quot;It is true that what one fears has the tendency to come until one is able to look it in the face and overcome one’s shrinking. One must learn to take one’s foundation on the Divine and overcome the fear, relying on the help to carry one through all things even unpleasant and adverse. There is a Force that works even through them for the seeker and carries him towards his goal." (SRI AUROBINDO)
 
 
&quot;Fear is an impurity, one of the greatest impurities, one of those which come most directly from the anti-divine forces which want to destroy the divine action on earth; and the first duty of those who really want to do yoga is to eliminate from their consciousness, with all the might, all the sincerity, all the endurance of which they are capable, even the shadow of a fear. To walk on the path, one must be dauntless, and never indulge in that petty, small, feeble, nasty shrinking back upon oneself, which is fear. An indomitable courage, a perfect sincerity and a sincere self-giving, so that one does not calculate or bargain, does not give with the idea of receiving, does not trust with the idea of being protected, does not have a faith which asks for proofs – it is this that is indispensable in order to walk on the path, and it is this alone which can truly shelter you from all danger." (THE MOTHER)

All Life Is Yoga: Fear and Its Overcoming

Sri Aurobindo came upon earth to announce the manifestation of the supramental world and not merely did he announce this manifestation but embodied also in part the supramental force and showed by example what one must do to prepare oneself for manifesting it. The best thing we can do is to study all that he has told us and endeavour to follow his example and prepare ourselves for the new manifestation. This gives life its real sense and will help us to overcome all obstacles. Let us live for the new creation and we shall grow stronger and stronger by remaining young and progressive.&#160;– The Mother

All Life Is Yoga: Sadhana

&quot;In a sense spirituality is the highest art, the art of life; for it aims at creating a life of beauty pure in line, faultless in rhythm, replete with strength, illumined with light and vibrant with delight." (Sri Aurobindo)
 
&quot;True art is the expression of beauty in the material world; and in a world entirely changed spiritually, that is to say, one expressing completely the divine reality, art must act as a revealer and teacher of this divine beauty in life; that is to say, an artist should be capable of entering into communion with the Divine and of receiving inspiration about what form or forms ought to be used to express the divine beauty in matter. And thus, if it does that, art can be a means of realisation of beauty, and at the same time a teacher of what beauty ought to be, that is, art should be an element in the education of men’s taste, of young and old, and it is the teaching of true beauty, that is, the essential beauty which expresses the divine truth. This is the raison d’etre of art. Now, between this and what is done there is a great difference, but this is the true raison d’etre of art." (The Mother)

All Life Is Yoga: Art

Sri Aurobindos grundlegendes und gewaltiges Lehrgebäude der Briefe erklärt in fundamentaler Weise die Lehre und Methode seines Yoga und greift Fragen der spirituellen Praxis auf. Nachdem sich Sri Aurobindo 1926 fast völlig von der Außenwelt und vom persönlichen Kontakt mit seinen Schülern zurückgezogen hatte, forderte er diese auf, sich mit ihren Problemen und Fragen schriftlich an ihn zu wenden. So entstanden zwischen 1927-38 die «Letters on Yoga» – Briefe, die in die Tausende gingen und jeden erdenklichen Aspekt des Integralen Yoga behandeln.
Das vorliegende E-Book enthält 156 Auszüge aus dem vierbändigen Lehrgebäude der Briefe. Sie wurden zusammengestellt und geordnet, um dem Suchenden beim Verständnis und der Ausübung des Yoga zu helfen. Sri Aurobindo erläutert die zentralen Prinzipien und Methoden seines Integralen Yoga.

Grundlagen des Yoga

Eine Zusammenstellung aus den Werken Sri Aurobindos und der Mutter über die Bedeutung des Todes und den Prozess der Wiedergeburt. „Selbst wenn es den Wissenschaften – Natur- oder Geheimwissenschaften – gelingen würde, die für ein unbegrenztes Überleben des Körpers notwendigen Voraussetzungen oder Mittel zu entdecken, würde die Seele dennoch, wenn der Körper es nicht schaffte, ein geeignetes Instrument für den Ausdruck des inneren Wachstums zu werden, einen Weg finden, den Körper zu verlassen und sich erneut inkarnieren. Die materiellen oder physischen Ursachen des Todes sind nicht die einzige oder wirkliche Ursache. Die wahrhaftige, innerste Ursache ist die spirituelle Notwendigkeit der Evolution eines neuen Wesens.“ (Sri Aurobindo)

Tod und Wiedergeburt

Sri Aurobindo und die Mutter über die Ziele und Ideale des Sri Aurobindo Ashrams. „Unser Ziel ist nicht, eine Religion oder eine Philosophie oder Yogaschule zu gründen, sondern den Boden für ein spirituelles Wachsen und eine spirituelle Erfahrung zu schaffen und einen Weg zu finden, der eine größere Wahrheit von jenseits des Mentals herabbringt, die aber für die menschliche Seele und das menschliche Bewusstsein nicht unerreichbar ist. Alle, die sich zu dieser Wahrheit hingezogen fühlen, können diesen Weg gehen, ob sie aus Indien oder sonst woher kommen, vom Osten oder Westen. Alle mögen große Schwierigkeiten in ihrer persönlichen oder allgemeinen menschlichen Natur finden. Doch kann ihre physische Herkunft oder ihr ethnisches Temperament nicht ein unüberwindbares Hindernis für ihre Befreiung sein.“ (Sri Aurobindo)

Das Essay legt einige der Ziele und Anforderungen des Integralen Yoga fest: „…den Willen des Göttlichen in der Welt auszuarbeiten, eine spirituelle Transformation zu bewirken und eine göttliche Natur und ein göttliches Leben in die mentale, vitale und physische Natur und das Leben der Menschheit herniederzubringen.“ Es werden auch die Prozesse des Yoga und die Bedingungen für die Sadhana behandelt. 1934 schrieb Sri Aurobindo, dass dieses Werk ein frühes Stadium seiner Sadhana darstellt und nur ein Teil davon auf den Yoga anwendbar ist, wie er sich nach mehr als zwanzig Jahren entwickelt hat.
