1:Quality and quantity differ, the self is equal. ~ Sri Aurobindo, The Life Divine 1.09 - The Pure Existent, #KEYS
2:All end and beginning presuppose something beyond the end or beginning. ~ Sri Aurobindo, The Life Divine 1.09 - The Pure Existent, #KEYS
3:The Absolute is beyond stability and movement as it is beyond unity and multiplicity. ~ Sri Aurobindo, The Life Divine 1.09 - The Pure Existent, #KEYS
4:The very idea of energy in action carries with it the idea of energy abstaining from action. ~ Sri Aurobindo, The Life Divine 1.09 - The Pure Existent, #KEYS
5:World-existence is the ecstatic dance of Shiva which multiplies the body of the God numberlessly to the view. ~ Sri Aurobindo, The Life Divine 1.09 - The Pure Existent, #KEYS
6:The pure existent is then a fact and no mere concept; it is the fundamental reality. But, let us hasten to add, the movement, the energy, the becoming are also a fact, also a reality. The supreme intuition and its corresponding experience may correct the other, may go beyond, may suspend, but do not abolish it. We have therefore two fundamental facts of pure existence and of worldexistence, a fact of Being, a fact of Becoming. To deny one or the other is easy; to recognise the facts of consciousness and find out their relation is the true and fruitful wisdom.Stability and movement, we must remember, are only our psychological representations of the Absolute, even as are oneness and multitude. The Absolute is beyond stability and movement as it is beyond unity and multiplicity. But it takes its eternal poise in the one and the stable and whirls round itself infinitely, inconceivably, securely in the moving and multitudinous. World-existence is the ecstatic dance of Shiva which multiplies the body of the God numberlessly to the view: it leaves that white existence precisely where and what it was, ever is and ever will be; its sole absolute object is the joy of the dancing. ~ Sri Aurobindo, The Life Divine 1.09 - The Pure Existent, #KEYS
