My own experience
They proved to me by convincing reasons that God does not exist; Afterwards I saw God, for he came and embraced me. And now what am I to believe - the reasoning of others or my own experience? Truth is what the soul has seen and experienced; the rest is appearance, prejudice and opinion. - Aurobindo

Sri Aurobindo (August 15, 1872-December 5, 1950) was a great scholar, mystical poet, yogi and an aggressive Indian nationalist. He was actively involved in the politics of India. He is well known for his incredible contribution in the freedom struggle of our country. He came up with an entirely new system of spirituality. He called his pathway to spirituality the 'integral yoga'.
The basic objective of his teachings was to increase the level of consciousness of people and make them aware about their true self. Sri Aurobindo philosophy is based on the concept of 'reality of Being and consciousness' amidst the big universe in which we live. He taught people to become aware of their true self and feel the presence of divinity lying within them.

Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts..
