SRI AUROBINDO
SRI AUROBINDO
Sri Aurobindo was born as Aurobindo
Ghose, born in Kolkata. Aurobindo was educated at Cambridge University. He was
an intellectual who intensely analysed human and social evolution. He joined the movement for independence from British
rule, for a while was one of its influential leaders and then became a
spiritual reformer, introducing his visions on human progress and spiritual
evolution.
Our ideal of Swaraj involves no
hatred of any other nation nor of the administration which is now established
by law in this country…Our ideal of patriotism proceeds on the basis of love
and brotherhood and it looks beyond the unity of the nation and envisages the
ultimate unity of mankind. But it is a unity of brothers, equals and freemen
that we seek, not the unity of master and serf, of devourer and devoured. The
future belongs to the young. It is a young and new world which is now under
process of development and it is the young who must create it. But it is also a
world of truth, courage, justice, lofty aspiration and straightforward
fulfilment which we seek to create. For the coward, for the self-seeker, for
the talker who goes forward at the beginning and afterwards leaves his fellows
in the lurch there is no place in the future of this movement. A brave, frank,
clean-hearted, courageous and aspiring youth is the only foundation on which
the future nation can be built.
