Like the earlier spiritual synthesis of the Upanishads this later synthesis at once spiritual and intellectual avoids naturally every such rigid determination as would injure its universal comprehensiveness. Its aim is precisely the opposite to that of the polemist commentators who found this Scripture established as one of the three highest Vedantic authorities and attempted to turn it into a weapon of offence and defence against other schools and systems. The Gita is not a weapon for dialectical warfare; it is a gate opening on the whole world of spiritual truth and experience and the view it gives us embraces all the provinces of that supreme region. It maps out, but it does not cut up or build walls or hedges to confine our vision.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Sri Aurobindo" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/sri-aurobindo/the-thought-of-the-gita-is-not-pure-monism-although-it-sees-in-one/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/69e/sri-aurobindo-1257_bhagavad-gita_the-thought-of-the-gita-is-not-pure-moni_1025691.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/69e/sri-aurobindo-1257_bhagavad-gita_the-thought-of-the-gita-is-not-pure-moni_1025691.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/69e/sri-aurobindo-1257_bhagavad-gita_the-thought-of-the-gita-is-not-pure-moni_1025691.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“The thought of the Gita is not pure Monism although it sees in one unchanging, pure, eternal Self the…” — Sri Aurobindo", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "The Bhagavad-Gita is a true scripture of the human race a living creation rather than a book, with a new message for every age and a new meaning for every civilization.", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Sri Aurobindo" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/sri-aurobindo/the-bhagavad-gita-is-a-true-scripture-of-the-human-race-a-living/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/86e/sri-aurobindo-1257_age_the-bhagavad-gita-is-a-true-scripture-of_2855773.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/86e/sri-aurobindo-1257_age_the-bhagavad-gita-is-a-true-scripture-of_2855773.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/86e/sri-aurobindo-1257_age_the-bhagavad-gita-is-a-true-scripture-of_2855773.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“The Bhagavad-Gita is a true scripture of the human race a living creation rather than a book, with a new…” — Sri Aurobindo", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/bhagavad-gita/sri-aurobindo/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/bhagavad-gita/sri-aurobindo/", "name": "Bhagavad gita Quotes by Sri Aurobindo", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/bhagavad-gita/sri-aurobindo/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/69e/sri-aurobindo-1257_bhagavad-gita_the-thought-of-the-gita-is-not-pure-moni_1025691.png" }, "description": "2 Bhagavad gita quotes by Sri Aurobindo.
