Love is the crown of knowledge. Love opens many windows of the Reality-that is God. One cannot escape perceiving God when one is filled with love for God. Even as knowledge culminates in love, love leads to an integral knowledge. It is perhaps a symptom of our age that people have generally misunderstood the yoga of love. This yoga concentrates, not only on the carnal aspects of human love, but also on the sublime emotional fulfillments of the godward directed ...
From where has this universe originated? Has it just accidentally come to be? Is it that God one day felt the impulse and said, "Let there be creation", and the creation came to be?

Since the means must be appropriate to the end, the discipline that it formulated by Sri Aurobindo for achieving the goal is integral yoga which brings about ...

After all, it is something very sacred, a purposeful moving towards God, and there is no reason why there should be pitfalls. A very legitimate question, but the facts are that this world, the whole universe in fact, is organised at present on a basis of ...
