All Life Is Yoga: The Beauty of the Future. Sri Aurobindo

      Publisher’s Note

      This is one in a series of some e-books created by SRI AUROBINDO DIGITAL EDITION and published by AURO MEDIA under the title All Life Is Yoga. Our effort is to bring together, from Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, simple passages with a practical orientation on specific subjects, so that everyone may feel free to choose a book according to his inner need. The topics cover the whole field of human activity, because true spirituality is not the rejection of life but the art of perfecting life.

      While the passages from Sri Aurobindo are in the original English, most of the passages from the Mother (selections from her talks and writings) are translations from the original French. We must also bear in mind that the excerpts have been taken out of their original context and that a compilation, in its very nature, is likely to have a personal and subjective approach. A sincere attempt, however, has been made to be faithful to the vision of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother.

      The excerpts from the writings of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother carry titles and captions chosen by the editor, highlighting the theme of the excerpts and, whenever possible, borrowing a phrase from the text itself. The sources of the excerpts are given at the end of each issue.

      We hope these e-books will inspire the readers to go to the complete works and will help them to mould their lives and their environments towards an ever greater perfection.

      “True spirituality is not to renounce life, but to make life perfect with a Divine Perfection.” – The Mother

      The Mother – Sri Aurobindo

      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

      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

      Chapter 1

      The Divine’s Plan

      Words of Sri Aurobindo

      Thus will the masked Transcendent mount his throne.

      When darkness deepens strangling the earth’s breast

      And man’s corporeal mind is the only lamp,

      As a thief’s in the night shall be the covert tread

      Of one who steps unseen into his house.

      A Voice ill-heard shall speak, the soul obey,

      A Power into mind’s inner chamber steal,

      A charm and sweetness open life’s closed doors

      And beauty conquer the resisting world,

      The Truth-Light capture Nature by surprise,

      A stealth of God compel the heart to bliss

      And earth grow unexpectedly
