This 'text completion' dataset (originally in jsonl format) comprises the major prose works of Sri Aurobindo, the Indian philosopher, seer and poet, and his spiritual partner, Mirra Alfassa. The following works have been used:

### Sri Aurobindo:
- Letters on Yoga 1, 2, 3, 4
- Letters on Himself and the Ashram
- The Mother with Letters on the Mother
- The Life Divine
- The Synthesis of Yoga
- The Renaissance in India
- The Secret of the Veda
- Essays Divine and Human
- Essays on the Gita
- Essays in Philosophy and Yoga
- The Future Poetry
- The Human Cycle
- Isha Upanishad

### Mirra (the Mother's):
- Questions and Answers (all volumes)
- Prayers and Meditation
- On Education
- On Thoughts and Aphorisms
- Words of the Mother (all volumes)

The titles of books have been removed to reduce hallucinatory misquotes. We believe this dataset is useful to train AIs to converse on spiritual and philosophical topics, as Sri Aurobindo's writings relate a deep and complex spiritual philosophy to all areas of life and thought. 

Anyone interested in datasets by individual books (or in building 'spiritual AIs') - please message me at my Twitter account [@jared_quek](https://twitter.com/jared_quek).
