The Mother and Sri Aurobindo

Sri Aurobindo

1872—1950

त्वमादिदेवः पुरुषः पुराणः
त्वमस्य विश्वस्य परं निधानम् ।
वेत्तासि वेद्यं च परं च धाम
त्वया ततं विश्वमनन्तरूप ॥

- Gita 11.38

Thou art the ancient Soul and the first and original Godhead and the supreme resting-place of this All; Thou art the knower and that which is to be known and the hightest status; O infinite in form, by Thee was extended the universe.

"All can be done if the god-touch is there."

— Savitri, Book 1, Canto 1
