Spiritual Message by the Mother/ Quotes by Sri Aurobindo

By knowledge we mean in Yoga not thought or ideas about spiritual things but psychic understanding from within and spiritual illumination from above.

Sri Aurobindo, Letters on Yoga - III: The Psychic Opening

The knowledge that seems to come to you from outside is only an occasion for bringing out the knowledge that is within you.

The Mother, Questions and Answers 1929 - 1931: 19 May 1929

To love to learn is the most precious gift that one can give to a child: to love to learn always and everywhere, so that all circumstances, all happenings in life may be constantly renewed opportunities for learning more and always more.

The Mother, On Education: Mental Education

For Sri Aurobindo, true knowledge is precisely Knowledge by identity, and wisdom is the state one achieves when one is in this true knowledge.
