Join Auroville

The physical world is the world of form and the perfection of form is beauty.

Art galleries cannot be brought into every home, but, if all the aspects of our life and furniture of our homes are things of taste and beauty, it is inevitable that the habits, thoughts and feelings of the people should be raised, ennobled, harmonised, made more sweet and dignified.

Money is meant to circulate

Money is not meant to generate money; money should generate an increase in production, an improvement in the conditions of life, and a progress in human consciousness. This is its true function.All wealth belongs to the Divine and those who hold it are trustees, not possessors. It is with them today, tomorrow it may be elsewhere.

Spiritually,... the effect of food depends more on the occult atmosphere and influences that come with it than on anything in the food itself.

It is the attachment to food, the greed and eagerness for it, making it an unduly important thing in the life, that is contrary to the spirit of Yoga. To be aware that something is pleasant to the palate is not wrong; only one must have no desire nor hankering for it, no exultation in getting it, no displeasure or regret at not getting it. One must be calm and equal, not getting upset or dissatisfied when the food is not tasty or not in abundance—eating the fixed amount that is necessary, not less or more. There should be neither eagerness nor repugnance.Sri Aurobindo
