Sri Aurobindo

Letters of Sri Aurobindo

Volume I - Part 2

Fragment ID: 9855

What you see and know at present is not the whole of what exists. You do not see your mind and you know only a little part of it – yet your mind exists and is part of your being. There are other parts of your being which you don’t know at all – the subconscient for instance. Your sexual impulse or feeling comes out of this subconscient and yet you don’t know how or from where it comes in spite of your own will – yet that too is part of your being. But it is possible to know and control. Only a man must give up the pride of his ignorance and have faith in what he does not yet know – then it is possible for him to have the experience.
