Remember why thou cam'st:
"Find out thy soul, recover thy hid self,
In silence seek God's meaning in thy depths"
[Sri Aurobindo, Savitri]
"Men are so much engrossed in the crowded life of senses that they hardly aware of themselves as apart from the movements in which they are carried. Even the few who have become conscious of their mental selves and stand aloof from their external life-movements, are lost in the noise of their own thought-activity and emotional turmoils."
