Sri Aurobindo

Letters of Sri Aurobindo

SABCL 26

Fragment ID: 7616

A year’s seclusion and meditation in the Alipore jail worked a great transformation in Sri Aurobindo.... Once again – now as ever – “service” was his urge to action.

The idea was “work” for the country, for the world, finally for the Divine, niṣkāma karma, rather than an ideal of service.
