Letters of Sri Aurobindo

Volume II - Part 1

Fragment ID: 11233

The first [calmness with disturbances on the surface] is the ordinary fundamental calm of the individual Adhar – the second [perfect stillness in the body and in the surrounding atmosphere] is the fundamental limitless calm of the cosmic consciousness, a calm which abides whether separated from all movements or supporting them.

This [limitless stillness] is the calm of the Atman, the Self above, silent, immutable and infinite.
