15th August is the Birthday of Sri Aurobindo and of free India. On this day, a card was distributed in the Ashram containing a picture of Sri Aurobindo and a beautiful message on the importance of awakening to the Presence within.
… if we learn to live within, we infallibly awaken
to this presence within us which is our more
real self, a presence profound, calm, joyous and
puissant of which the world is not the master—
a presence which, if it is not the Lord Himself,
is the radiation of the Lord within….
The truth of ourselves lies within and not on
the surface.
Sri Aurobindo
