Savitri is Sri Aurobindo's major poetic work, an epic in blank-verse of about 24,000 lines in which a tale from the Mahabharata becomes a symbol of the human soul's spiritual quest and destiny.

"The tale of Satyavan and Savitri", Sri Aurobindo noted, "is recited in the Mahabharata as a story of conjugal love conquering death". Sri Aurobindo has widened the original legend and turned it into a symbol in which the soul of man, represented by Satyavan, is delivered from the grip of death and ignorance through the love and power of the Divine Mother, incarnated upon earth as Savitri.

Sri Aurobindo worked on this poem for more than thirty years. When a disciple asked why he kept rewriting it, he replied: "That is very simple. I used Savitri as a means of ascension. I began it on a certain mental level, each time I could reach a higher level I rewrote it from that level. . . In fact Savitri has not been regarded by me as a poem to be written and finished, but as a field of experimentation to see how far poetry could be written from one's own yogic consciousness and how that could be made creative."

The Mother considered Savitri to be "the supreme revelation of Sri Aurobindo's vision" and called it "that marvellous prophetic poem which will be humanity's guide towards its future realisation."

Over five hundred aphorisms on works, knowledge and devotion, written with startling disregard for conventional morality to emphasise how spiritual matters cannot be judged with the ethical mind. These aphorisms were formulated, said the Mother, "in order to break up the usual conception, to bring one in touch with a deeper truth".

Extract
If mankind could but see though in a glimpse of fleeting experience what infinite enjoyments, what perfect forces, what luminous reaches of spontaneous knowledge, what wide calms of our being lie waiting for us in the tracts which our animal evolution has not yet conquered, they would leave all & never rest till they had gained these treasures. But the way is narrow, the doors are hard to force, and fear, distrust & scepticism are there, sentinels of Nature, to forbid the turning away of our feet from her ordinary pastures.
—Sri Aurobindo

A selection from Nirodbaran's Correspondence with Sri Aurobindo. It represents a new and, to the general public, quite an unfamiliar aspect of Sri Aurobindo—his humour.

Nirodbaran was a disciple of Sri Aurobindo who had the great privilege of serving him for twelve years as his literary secretary and, before this, of carrying on a long correspondence with him. Sri Aurobindo often expressed himself in a humorous way, full of light-hearted banter and repartee. In this compilation only those extracts which are exclusively humorous have been taken. There are more than a thousand brief exchanges during 1933-1938 between master and disciple.

This book contains the original Sanskrit text of the Bhagavad Gita, a translation partly by Sri Aurobindo, and commentary drawn entirely from Essays on the Gita, Sri Aurobindo's principal work on this important scripture. The editor, Anilbaran Roy, was an early disciple of Sri Aurobindo, and prepared the commentary with the permission of Sri Aurobindo. While introducing the first edition of the book in 1938 the editor wrote, "The Gita is a great synthesis of Aryan spiritual culture and Sri Aurobindo's luminous exposition of it…sets out its inner significances in a way that brings them home to the modern mind."

A compilation of letters written by Sri Aurobindo to disciples during the 1930s, this book presents the major aspects of his spiritual teaching. The first parts deal with the psychological and philosophical foundations of his teaching and relate them to other systems of yoga and philosophy. The next sections deal with the method of practice, starting with the bases of yoga and continuing with the different types of sadhana, descriptions of experiences and realisations, the triple transformation that defines the essence of the yoga, and the difficulties in transforming the nature. A glossary of the terminology used by Sri Aurobindo completes the volume.

This book contains conversations of the Mother with members of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram and the students of the Ashram's school. For most of this period the Mother answered questions about some of her essays on education and her conversations of 1929, which deal with various aspects of spiritual life. Towards the end she discussed some letters of Sri Aurobindo and his small book The Mother.

The Mother commented on two of the last chapters of The Life Divine during her weekly classes at the Ashram Playground in the 1950s. After reading from the text, the Mother would answer any questions raised by those present. In these commentaries she speaks about Sri Aurobindo's vision of the future—the evolution of a spiritualised humanity leading to a divine life on earth.

"I give you flowers", the Mother once told a sadhak, "so that you may develop the Divine qualities they symbolise". In this book more than eight hundred flowers are listed with their botanical names and their spiritual names and significances as revealed by the Mother. 124 black-and-white sketches and 70 colour photographs help to identify the flowers and reveal their beauty. There are also numerous selections from the writings of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother which have been chosen to lead the reader to a deeper understanding of the spiritual significances behind the flowers.

"Flowers teach us the charm of silence and also the self-giving that demands nothing in return."

This book contains The Mother by Sri Aurobindo and the Mother's spoken comments on passages from that book, made during her evening classes at the Ashram Playground. The first set of comments were given in 1951 and the second in 1954. From the publisher's note, "These comments do not form a systematic commentary on Sri Aurobindo's work, but are rather explanations of certain passages, phrases and words. The Mother usually began the class by reading out a passage from the book, then commented on it or invited questions from those gathered around her."

In this book, which is a collection of brief passages mostly from conversations with disciples and students at the Sri Aurobindo International Centre of Education, the Mother invites her listeners and readers to answer the call of adventure by courageously taking the path of spiritual self-perfection and transformation. The excerpts are arranged thematically to present the Mother's guidance to the seeker, showing the way through shadows and stumbles to a sunlit path through such topics as how to control one's thoughts, breaking the hard shell of the ego, the absolute necessity of a perfect sincerity, the right attitude to take when faced with even the most mundane affairs of life, the nature of dynamic meditation, and the liberation of a complete surrender to the Divine.

The unpredictability of our moods, impulses, and emotions and the apparent randomness of happenings in our external lives are primarily due to the play of hidden forces at work in the world, forces of which we are almost totally unaware. This book is a compilation from the works of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother on these hidden forces and how they influence our thoughts, feelings, and actions and determine the course of events in life.

The selections in this compilation deal with the meaning and nature of the psychic being, its role and action in the awakening to the inner life, and its influence on the afterlife and the process of rebirth. Many of the extracts clarify the difference between the soul in its purely essential form and the psychic being, which is the soul in its evolutionary, individualised form. The process of psychic growth and development and the central role of the psychic being in the individual's sadhana are some of the key concepts in Sri Aurobindo's Integral Yoga and are given prominence in this compilation, which is aimed mainly at the general reader.

This book of selections from the writings and talks of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother presents their insights into the causes and cure of illness. It examines the mechanism of illness primarily from a psychological point of view, taking into account the whole of our being including much that is beyond the range of our normal awareness. It explores how the hidden causes of physical disorders can be uprooted by discovering and utilising one's inner power and participating consciously in the accelerated evolutionary process known as Integral Yoga. The book is divided into four parts: "Psychological Causes of Illness", "Cure by Inner Means", "Cure by Spiritual Force", and "Medicine and Healing".

From December 1925 to November 1926 Philippe Barbier Saint Hilaire, later known as Pavitra, held regular private conversations with Sri Aurobindo that centred on the practice of Yoga and Pavitra's own sadhana. This book is a record of these conversations and some he had with the Mother toward the end of that year. It also includes several of the evening talks, in which Sri Aurobindo conversed informally with a small group of disciples, on such subjects as science and occultism which especially interested Pavitra. The book's introduction is a talk given in 1964 by Pavitra in which he recounts his early life experiences and the events which led him to come to Pondicherry.

"Ce livre a été composé avec les extraits d'un journal écrit durant des années de discipline yoguique intensive. Il peut servir de guide spirituel à trois catégories principales de chercheurs: ceux qui ont entrepris la conquête de soi, ceux qui veulent trouver la voie menant vers le Divin, ceux qui aspirent à se consacrer de plus en plus à l'oeuvre Divine."
— La Mère

La première partie de cet ouvrage comprend des conversations que la Mère a eues en anglais en 1929 avec un petit groupe de disciples qui méditaient avec elle et lui posaient ensuite des questions sur la nature et le processus du yoga. Ces textes furent traduits en français par la Mère elle-même d’après les notes prises par un disciple.

Les Entretiens de 1930 et 1931 constituent la deuxième partie du livre et traitent des sujets tels que les difficultés dans le yoga, la présence psychique et l'être psychique, la connaissance par union avec le Divin et la réalisation supramentale. La Mère parlait en anglais et ses paroles ont été notées de mémoire par un disciple, puis traduites en français.

Ce livre est consacré aux forces cachées de la vie ainsi qu'aux forces diverses qui agissent sur nous, déterminent le cours des événements, influencent nos pensées, nos sentiments, nos actions. En prendre conscience est le premier pas indispensable pour sortir de l'illusion de l'ego qui, nous dit Sri Aurobindo, « se vante de sa liberté, mais est à chaque instant l'esclave et le jouet d'innombrables êtres, puissances, forces et influences de la Nature universelle ». Mais il faut ensuite, et c'est la seconde étape de la maîtrise de soi et de la transformation progressive et intégrale de notre être, élargir notre conscience et découvrir ce qui, au plus profond de nous et par-delà ce jeu de forces, est à jamais libre et maître de son destin.

Eine feine Sammlung von Passagen großer Ausstrahlung aus den Collected Works of the Mother zu einem weiten Spektrum weltlicher und spiritueller Themen, wie Wert der Erziehung, Moral, Religion, Wille, Konzentration, Meditation. Die meisten sind den Gesprächen mit der Mutter entnommen — sie beeindrucken durch die Autorität des Gesagten und ihre bemerkenswerte Klarheit. In ihrer Genauigkeit und Tiefe beglücken sie den Leser durch die so entstandene Führung.

Dieses Buch beschäftigt sich mit den dynamischen inneren Fähigkeiten, die im Menschen zwar angelegt sind, sich jedoch mehr oder weniger in einem inaktiven, unentwickelten Zustand befinden. Dabei werden zwei Arten von latenten Kräften unterschieden: solche, die noch nicht entfaltet sind, oder deren Existenz nicht einmal für möglich gehalten wird, wie: Hellsichtigkeit, Telepathie und andere okkulte Kräfte — und solche, über die wir zwar schon verfügen, von denen wir aber meist in sehr einfacher Form Gebrauch machen, wie die Kraft der Gedanken, der Imagination, des Willens, der Konzentration und der Intuition. Diese Auszüge aus den Texten von Sri Aurobindo und der Mutter erklären die Natur dieser inneren Kräfte, damit wir lernen, sie besser, bewusster und gezielter zu gebrauchen.

Sri Aurobindo e la Madre sono espressione di una sola e stessa coscienza. E’ ciò che emerge da quanto loro stessi hanno scritto o dichiarato in varie occasioni per spiegare ai discepoli il significato della loro incarnazione congiunta, evento unico e straordinario in questa manifestazione terrestre.

L'arte può esprimere la verità eterna, non è limitata all'espressione della forma e dell'apparenza... Ciò che la Natura è, ciò che Dio è, ciò che l'Uomo è, tutto questo può essere rivelato in modo trionfante nella pietra o sulla tela.
—Sri Aurobindo
