Sri Aurobindo Quotes about Awareness

  • Not in the state of unconsciousness, but in full awareness when the higher Power will descend into and direct us, then only the yogic life will begin.
  • There is the physical mind which is mechanical but the awareness which is the essential character (dharma) of the mind is also to some extent present there.
