Who is the superman? Sri Aurobindo (Thoughts and Aphorisms 139) |
Give EverythingThe more you give yourself to the Divine the more He is with you, totally, constantly, at every minute, in all your thoughts, in all your needs, and that there’s no aspiration which does not receive an immediate answer; and you have the sense of a complete, constant intimacy, of a total nearness. It is as though you carried… as though the Divine were all the time with you; you walk and He walks with you, you eat and He eats with you, you think and He thinks with you, you love and He is the love you have. But for this you must give yourself entirely, totally, exclusively, reserve nothing, keep nothing for yourself and not keep back anything…. If you give Him everything, if you keep back nothing, He will be constantly and totally with you in all that you do, in all that you think, all that you feel, always at each moment. But for this you must give yourself absolutely, keep back nothing; each little thing that you hold back is a stone you put down to build up a wall between the Divine and yourself.
