The Mission of India - Words of Sri Aurobindo

If these things do not satisfy

me,

What then do I seek?*

 

I seek a light

that shall be new, yet old,

the oldest indeed of all lights.

 

I seek an authority

that accepting, illuminating

and reconciling all human truth,

shall yet reject and get rid of

by explaining it all mere human

error.
