Sri Aurobindo's Experience to a Quiet Mind

This dialogue between a seeker and Sri Aurobindo is a profound exploration of the journey to transcend mental noise and achieve spiritual mastery. A seeker asks Sri Aurobindo how he silenced his mind, a common challenge on the spiritual path. Sri Aurobindo shares guidance from Vishnu Bhaskar, who advised him to meditate, observe thoughts as external intrusions, and reject them before they settled.

Through this simple yet powerful practice, he achieved profound inner silence in just three days, transforming his restless mind into a universal receiver free from personal thought.

The seeker, impressed by the technique's simplicity, asks how to begin the practice. Sri Aurobindo suggests visualizing the mind as a locked, empty house where thoughts hover outside but cannot enter. Gradually, a column of white light descends, filling the mind with lasting peace.


Sri Aurobindo stresses that initial silence is just the first step. True transcendence requires integrating inner peace into daily life through "active meditation," maintaining mental stillness even amid worldly chaos.

As the practice deepens, the mind undergoes a profound transformation. Inner silence expands into a vast consciousness that supports intense activity without losing its stillness. The mind shifts from generating thoughts to receiving them, allowing higher knowledge to flow effortlessly.
