Champaklal Speaks

22 September 1935

I have learnt that H has left this place. He had very great love for Mother and Sri Aurobindo and had very beautiful experiences. Then why is it that he could not face his difficulty?

How did he show this great love? By his poetry? A man must be judged as a man and a sadhak not by what poetry he writes but by what he is and does.

If such an advanced sadhak had to go what about myself?

Are you a person like him? Have you his difficulties and do you know what they were? Then why reason from his case to yours?

I have heard that Mother had said that only a person like him who has had every kind of experience in life can alone do real surrender—and not a child like R.

Absolutely false.

I have heard that a handful of persons will remain at the end. This also seems to me to be true; is it so?

Heard from whom? And why should it be true?

Sri Aurobindo

If you wish you can try R's treatment but it is only if you keep the faith in the Divine power to cure that any treatment can be successful. So you must keep that as the main thing and use the treatment only as a secondary means and a subordinate help.
