A Smile of Consciousness
अनन्यचेताः सततं यो मां स्मरति नित्यशः ।
तस्याहं सुलभः पार्थ नित्ययुक्तस्य योगिनः ॥
For one who remembers Me without deviation, I am easily attained, O Partha (Arjuna), because of that yogi’s constant engagement in devotional service.
Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 8, Verse 14)
उत्साहार्निश्चयाद्धैर्यात्तत्तत्कर्मप्रवर्तनात् ।
सङ्गत्यागात्सतो वृत्तेः षड्भिर्भक्तिः प्रसिद्ध्यति ॥
Devotion (and success in practice) is perfected by these six qualities: enthusiasm (utsāha), firm conviction (niścaya), patience (dhairya), acting according to scriptural instructions, abandoning worldly company, and following the footsteps of the saintly.
Upadesamrita (Verse 3) by Rupa Goswami
" Be conscious first of
thyself within , then think
and act."

अज्ञानतिमिरान्धस्य ज्ञानाञ्जनशलाकया ।
चक्षुरुन्मीलितं येन तस्मै श्रीगुरवे नमः ॥
Salutations to the Guru, who—with the collyrium stick of Knowledge—opens the eyes of one who was blinded by the darkness of ignorance.
Guru Gita
हिरण्मयेन पात्रेण सत्यस्यापिहितं मुखम् ।
तत्त्वं पूषन्नपावृणु सत्यधर्माय दृष्टये ॥
The face of Truth is covered with a brilliant golden lid; that do thou remove, O Fosterer, for the law of the Truth, for sight.
Isha Upanishad (Verse 15)
Sri Aurobindo Ashram - Samadhi
A white marble shrine where bodies of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother are laid to rest
The Ashram is meant for those who want to consecrate their lives to the Divine.

ब्रह्मैवेदममृतं पुरस्ताद् ब्रह्म पश्चाद् ब्रह्म दक्षिणतश्चोत्तरेण ।
अधश्चोर्ध्वं च प्रसृतं ब्रह्मैवेदं विश्वमिदं वरिष्ठम् ॥
The Eternal is before us, the Eternal is behind us, the Eternal is to the south and to the north, the Eternal is above and below and extended everywhere. All this magnificent universe is nothing but the Eternal.
Mundaka Upanishad (2.2.11)
To walk through life armoured against fear, peril and disaster,
only two things are needed, two that go always together:
the Grace of the Divine
and on your side an inner state made up of
faith, sincerity and surrender.
Let your faith be pure, candid and perfect.
- Sri AurobindoWhat Sri Aurobindo represents in the world's history is not a teaching, not even a revelation; it is a decisive action direct from the Supreme.
