"A bright pure image in a priestless shrine,"
Savitri-368
"It is not a question of preparing students to read these or some other works. It is a question of drawing all those who are capable of it out of the usual human routine of thought, feelings, action; of giving those who are here every opportunity to reject the slavery of the human way of thinking and acting; of teaching all those who want to listen that there is another, truer way of living, and that Sri Aurobindo taught us to become and to live the true being and that the purpose of education here is to prepare the children for this life and to make them capable of it."

This photo gallery is proposed to be designed for small children in such a manner that they will understand the All-inclusive Integral Education spontaneously in a very simple manner that "Sees the God-face and hears transcendent speech:" (Savitri-375). These pictures can assist them to open their Soul or through ‘a soul-understanding, that chose the pictures.’ The Mother observed, “What I see is almost a children's book, for a whole generation aged ten to eighteen, thousands of children. With lovely pictures.” (Refer The Mother’s Agenda-29.05.1962)

“In men, says the Upanishad, the Self-Existent has cut the doors of consciousness outward, but a few turn the eye inward and it is these who see and know the Spirit and develop the spiritual being.”

"ଉପନିଷଦ କହେ, ମଣିଷ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ସ୍ୱୟଂଭୂ (ଭଗବାନ) ଚେତନାର ଦ୍ୱାରଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ବହିର୍ମୁଖୀ କରି ଗଢ଼ିଛନ୍ତି; କିନ୍ତୁ କ୍ୱଚିତ୍ ବ୍ୟକ୍ତି ନିଜ ଦୃଷ୍ଟିକୁ ଅନ୍ତର୍ମୁଖୀ କରନ୍ତି ଏବଂ ସେହିମାନେ ହିଁ ପରମାତ୍ମାଙ୍କକୁ ଦର୍ଶନ କରନ୍ତି ଓ ଜାଣନ୍ତି, ଏବଂ ନିଜର ଆଧ୍ୟାତ୍ମିକ ସତ୍ତାକୁ ବିକଶିତ କରନ୍ତି।" ଶ୍ରୀ ଅରବିନ୍ଦ
“The (Katha-2.1.1) Upanishad tells us that the Self-existent has so set the doors of the soul that they turn outwards and most men look outward into the appearances of things; only the rare soul that is ripe for a calm thought and steady wisdom turns its eye inward, sees the Self and attains to immortality. To this turning of the eye inward psychological self observation and analysis is a great and effective introduction.”

"(Q) Where does God live? Can I ever see Him?
(The Mother's Answer) God lives everywhere and in everything, and you will be able to see Him if you can find Him deep inside yourself."

New Words of the Mother/p-241
"Ramakrishna is supposed to have said to Vivekananda, “You can see the Lord just as you see me and hear His voice just as you hear mine.” Some people understood this as an announcement that the Lord was on earth in flesh and blood. I said (laughing): “No, it is not that! What he meant is that if you enter the true consciousness, you can hear Him — I say, hear much more clearly than you hear physically and see much more clearly than you see physically."

"The Yogins who strive, see the Lord in themselves, pasyanti; but though they strive to do so, the ignorant perceive Him not, as they are not formed in the Spiritual mould... Some see the Divine, pasyanti, through meditation; some realise the Divine as 'of the Self, by the Self and in the Self,' atmani atmanam atmana; others see the Divine, pasyanti, through Sankhya and Karma Yoga... " (The Gita-15.11, 13.25)
“When I was five years old...well I began with a consciousness. Of course I had no idea what it was. But my first experience was of the consciousness here (gesture above the head), which I felt like a Light and a Force; and I felt it there at the age of five. It was very pleasant sensation. I would sit in a little armchair made especially for me, all alone in my room, and I had a very pleasant feeling of something very strong, very luminous, and it was here (above the head) .... Then I would pull it down, for it was...it was truly my raison d’être.”
