Sri Aurobindo: the Genius of India
A beautiful (public?) video from the Aurobindo Press in Pondicherry. My gratitude and acknowledgement to Richard Pettinger (WriteSpirit.net) for finding this entry on YouTube, and sharing with us.
"[Ancient India] saw that the complexity of the Universe could not be explained in the present terms of Man, or seen by his superficial sight: that there were other powers behind; other powers within Man himself, of which he is normally unaware. That he is conscious only of a small part of himself; that the invisible always surrounds the visible; the suprasensible, the sensible; even as infinity always surrounds the finite. She saw, too, that Man has the power of exceeding himself…" ~ Sri Aurobindo, early 1900s
