Champaklal Speaks

Brahminic Arrogance

1949-09-18

C: “Mother, I do not know if you remember or not, but I remember very well, it was in Library House in 1923. I distinctly remember even the spot where you had said to me, 'You have Brahminic arrogance.' At that time, I did not fully understand the meaning, though I followed the general sense of it. I thought I would understand it when the right time came—for that is my way, as you know, Mother. And yet, I still have not understood it. Now after a long time. Mother, I want to know from you what you meant. Is it not interesting?”

Mother (smiling): “Very interesting, Champaklal. I remember, it very vividly. When it will go, you will understand very well; know what it is.”

C: “Then, it is not interesting now?”

Mother: “I find it very interesting; you remember it still, and course I remember it.”

C: “Have I not waited long enough all these years?”

Mother laughed and said: “No, not enough.” Then, after pause, she added: “Probably now it is the end of it.”
