- Quieting the mind is a first essential step on the path of Yoga. These readings from Sri Aurobindo emphasize the importance of mental quietude, and practical advice on the most straightforward ways of achieving it. Part 1 in a series on The Silent Mind.
One day all Knowledge and Truth will grow within me. ❤
Thanks for this great video. It meant a lot to me on this journey
the best reading I heard so far
please continue your series
Thank you for uploading this - I like the soothing voice and the absence of any sense if the personal in the words of Sri Aurobindo is a releif in this hyper-personal psuedo-reality most of us are stuck in for most of the time. That's why I came to Sri Aurobindo which reads like a glass of water to me.
Silence is golden 😊
Thank you very very much for bringing dear Divine master's light in this most apt way.
This clip is excellent. We are looking for part 2 and more. Please upload
Thank you
Part 2 has been uploaded
Part 3 is planned
Grace be and peace 🙏
Quietude = Being aware of being aware.
Such a helpful teaching about tolerating the absence of the mind's chatter. Wonderful!
Thank you for uploading this.❤
hi
i love this so much
Something very interesting. Reading from the writings of Sri Aurobindo needs a lot of concentration and I often struggle due to the inability to maintain concentration for an extended period of time. It seems hearing the same in this nice and soothing voice for an extended period is less difficult as I do not need to keep my eyes glued to the writings. Thank you for this channel.
We are glad that our efforts can bring Sri Aurobindo's wisdom to you in a way that you can take in. Capability to see the vision grows as familiarity and internalization of the vision increases. Stay in proximity to the source, however is right for you. Thank you for your comment.
Beautiful!! Thank you! 🙏🤍🙏
Thank you very much for the insight

Beautiful reading of Sri Aurobindo
A very useful n uplifting effort in helping us learn principles of the purpose yoga of Sri Aurobindo. A pleasant voice reading with understanding aids concentration n absorption of ideas easily. Thank u so much and may u achieve all ends for spiritual evolution -- yours n ours!
Purna yoga has been "auto corrected " wrongly to purpose yoga in my comment
@@visaravindran7303 Thank you so much for your comment! We are glad to accompany all on the journey in God.
Your recordings are very helpful. I do not get much time to read lately, but coming across this channel and these recordings still keep me attuned to the path & practice. Please keep recording more such texts.
Which book do you read this texts from?
The texts are curated from many places, according to the theme. I arrange them into an order that flows for each video. So it depends on the video. I believe for this one, most of the quotes came from the Letters on Yoga. That's often the case, since they are so practical and that's my goal with these videos, to help our focus and practice.
I'm truly glad you find them helpful! Thanks for listening and letting me know.

Thank you🙏
Thank you for this reading. However, it could also make one sit back. Fall into silence, and never go on to part two.❣️❣️❣️🌹
🙏🙏
Thank you...
Thank you
Please make it in hindi akso🙏
Pl check and correct the sentences. Take care to be passive only to the truth and to the touch of the Divine Shakti.
If you are passive to suggestions of adverse forces……. .
I assure you, the sentences I read from Sri Aurobindo are completely unaltered 🙏 Anyone who searches for them online will easily verify this.
For my videos, I merely put them into an order which I think can be helpful. This practice of reordering quotations for the sake of spiritual learning and reflection is normal among followers of the Integral Yoga (see the numerous anthologies and collections of Aurobindo and the Mother's words). I do not believe it is the sign of any adverse force. Thank you 🙏

Please understand it is all MIND GAMES ? Please read full comment .. If they can they wont even let you breath on your terms, that much these Hindu Monks wants to control you your body and mind your intellectual your though process, you whole life on the name of mediation and spirituality to make you feel inferior, once the successful on make you feel accept inferior, You will surrender to them pledge your whole life for their Mission, Their Aashram, Thair Cult , Free of cost you will work for them ?! They say All Gurus they says Aahaar Nidra(Food & Sleep,Rest) which are even animal can do, if you human only engage in these two activities you are no better than animals, Then WE also said those Gurus that if you are working for others on the name of Religion on the Name of Meditation Dhyaan Samaadhi and Chakra Activation which is also unsure uncertain may be ? , when a Guru preach you and you spend all your life serving Gurus's Ashram Spending Lot of time Listening Gurus's Pravachans Lectures and further more if you Give up your own life your own Family join Gurus Aashram Wake up 4 or 5 am then work whole day for free eating what ever given to you is like you are now no better than animal ? Who work all their lives for master all the work animal does and their master gain the maximum out of animals hard work if you are working for any Guru , any Sampradaay, any Cult then you are also quite much like animal who have no life of their own , Aahaar Nidra engaging living life for only these two things are like animal life then working for other very much, have no life , no choice, no amenities of our own are also like animal life or not ?
This video & channel does not endorse following a specific guru or joining any ashram. I don't believe Aurobindo or the Mother ever campaigned for people to join them either. The dangers you warn against in your message are real, though, and anyone on the spiritual path must be discerning. May we all carry through on the truth.
I spent a lot of time in Pondy for many reasons.
I wonder what Sri Aurobindo did all day, other than sit and write his intellectual analyses. He didn't pay rent, work for his life, wash his clothes, cook etc..... like everyone else.
He married a child of 14 as he wanted a 'wife'. While other young girls enjoyed fashion, friends, dreaming of the future, she was alone and received a few letters from her 'husband' until she died at 32.
Everyone praises this man's words but no one considers his cruelty and disregard for this poor child.
Actions are what define us - not words from the intellect.
Maybe she was a spiritually advanced child he 'married' not for sexual intercourse but so he could help her progress along the path. Not all 14 yr olds are into fashion etc....in the West perhaps, but not in East at least.
The 'modern' mind is incapable of perceiving anything out of the physical context & sees everything through the lens of prejudice.
You apparently have no idea of what Sri Aurobindo's all about. First of all, when you mention his 'intellectual analyses' you are ignorant of the fact that he was talking about accessing knowledge that's beyond the intellect.
If he did marry a fourteen year old are you suggesting that he married her to satiate his physical desires? Have you considered that it could've been bcoz he saw her as an advanced spiritual soul & he perhaps wanted to guide her in his journey along with her? There have been cases in India of sages having spiritual consorts, & this is beyond the understanding of the western mind for which a relationship has become synonymous with the physical plane!
And about not having done any 'work', are you aware he was a great freedom fighter who was incarcerated by the British, & used his harsh prison conditions to advance along the spiritual path?
This is not the case of the classic pedophile priest being rewarded with a luxurious lifestlyle, but that of a spiritually advanced being doing the most noble work of guiding people along the spiritual path who was provided with someone to cook for him & wash his clothes so he could carry on his noble work without being preoccupied with household chores.
Thank you 🙏 …
