Sri Aurobindo
Letters of Sri Aurobindo
Volume IV - Part 2
Everything which it hankers after is desirable to the vital – but the desire has to be rejected. “I won’t desire” is quite the right thing to say, even if “I don’t desire” cannot yet be said by the vital. Still there is something in the being that can even say “I don’t desire” and refuse to recognise the vital desire as part of the true being. It is that consciousness which the peace and power bring that has to be recognised as the true “I” and made permanent in front.
