'THE sex-trouble is serious only as long as it can get the consent of the mind and the vital will. If it is driven from the mind, that is, if the mind refuses its consent, but the vital part responds to it, it comes as a large wave of vital desire and tries to sweep the mind away by force altogether.' 'O THOU!, that lovest, strind the veil and it is what comes forward in the nature that makes the difference.' 'THE psychic being has to be surrendered consciously and with more and more knowledge. The psychic aspires to the Divine or answers to things divine, it is surrendered in principle, but it has to develop its surrender in detail carring with it the surrender of all the being.' 'NOTHING done in the past or present can prevent the psychic from coming forward if there is the true will is the get rid of these things and live in the psychic and spiritual consciousness.' 'THERE is a psychic sorrow which usually comes when the soul feels how strong is the resistance in the world and how much the Force in it rage against the Mother.' 'THE psychic sadness is of a purifying and not a depressing kind.' SRI AUROBINDO on Francis Thompson's Hound of Heaven: 'Take Francis Thompson's Hound of Heaven Everybody does not understand it : does it follow that Thompson is not a great poet? Or take the Upanishads. They deal with one subject only and have one strain : can we say, therefore, that it is not great poetry? '"Creative" may be something which gives a picture of life creatively, representing the life-situation of the Spirit. "Expressive" is that which is just the expression of feeling, vision or experience, In the Hound of Heaven you get a true creative picture. 'Poetry is creative where it gives a complete picture of life as in the Hound of Heaven. There you have such a picture of the life of a man pursued by God. 'The Hound of Heaven is a far greater poem than any of Oscar Wilde's or Chesterton's.' http://members.chello.nl/~r.gebhard1/ |
