Message of the Flower

Remembrance of Sri Aurobindo

The Mother’s Comment

Let us strive to realise the ideal of life he has set before us.

Spiritual Message by the Mother/ Quotes by 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.
