Sri Aurobindo - Philosophy and Spiritual Vision

Philosophy and Spiritual Vision

According to Sri Aurobindo his philosophies were first formed by studying of Upanishads and Gita, and later from vedas. Aurobindo tried to realise what he read through his spiritual experiences and was able to match them. He also notifies that his philosophy is not due to any intellectual abstractions, ratiocinations or dialectics and most of his writings were to justify to the intellect of the readers. And other sources of his philosophy were supposed to be flown into him as thoughts through higher planes of consciousness.

Famous quotes containing the words philosophy, spiritual and/or vision:

    Observing him in these moods, I often dwelt meditatively upon the old philosophy of the Bi-Part Soul, and amused myself with the fancy of a double Dupin—the creative and the resolvent.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    In our definitions, we grope after the spiritual by describing it as invisible. The true meaning of spiritual is real; that law which executes itself, which works without means, and which cannot be conceived as not existing.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Deep in the human heart
    The fire of justice burns;
    A vision of a world renewed
    Through radical concern.
    William L. Wallace (20th century)
