Page 8 - Sri Aurobindo on Morality and Yoga

Obviously [in sadhana] the rajasic

movements are likely to create more

trouble than the sattwic ones. The

greatest difficulty of the sattwic

man is the snare of virtue and self-

righteousness, the ties of

philanthropy, mental idealisms,

family affections etc., but except

the first, these are, though difficult,

still not so difficult to overpass or

else transform. Sometimes however

these things are as sticky as the

rajasic difficulties.

Sri Aurobindo, CWSA, 28: 427-428
