Poets make much of death and external afflictions; but the only tragedies are the soul’s failures and the only epic man’s triumphant ascent towards godhead.
Thoughts and Aphorisms, CWSA, Sri Aurobindo.
Usually man is not afflicted with the only thing truly tragic, the failure to find one’s soul and to live according to its law. In truth, the only thing that is truly tragic is not to become conscious of one’s soul, the psychic being, and not to be entirely guided by it in one’s life.To die before having found one’s soul and lived according to its law, that is the true failure. And the true epic, the true glory is to find the Divine in oneself and to live according to His law.

🙏 Divine Grace and Will work against gravity of death and Doom, turning Hell into a Divine peace and joy, only one little thing is somehow necessary: open Your heart and persevere till it Is done 🌞
