Sri Aurobindo
Letters of Sri Aurobindo
Volume IV - Part 3
You have entirely put yourself out in the external physical consciousness which is refusing to open itself on the plea of inability and by saying that all spiritual and inner things are unreal, only what is outward is real. That is what it always does, if you listen to it. But the plea of inability is untrue – and the other is also untrue. The inner, the spiritual, is perfectly true and real to you when you open yourself to it – as real as the physical or outward.
