Sri Aurobindo on power

Evolution is not finished; reason is not the last word nor the reasoning animal the supreme figure of Nature. As man emerged out of the animal, so out of man the superman emerges.

A God who cannot smile, could not have created this humorous universe.

Carl Jung1875–1961The Psychology of the Unconscious (1943), P. 97
