Posthumous work
Thoughts and Aphorisms
More than five hundred aphorisms arranged in three parts—jnana, karma, bhakti—paradoxical and often provocative in tone: on reason and wisdom, action and evil, the love of God. They reveal the humour and freedom of thought of Aurobindo in his first years at Pondicherry.
