Champaklal Speaks : 'It is the Ramayana of my life'. 'My life is Sri Aurobindo & the Mother only. To write down their sweet memories is Champaklal's worship'
1949-07-10
After Datta passed away, Surendra1 brought upstairs, with the help of some boys, a big box containing her things. As Mother was looking at them, someone pulled out an old mirror. It was a Japanese mirror and one corner of its frame had been eaten away.
At once I asked: “Mother, what are you going to do with it? Is this not the same mirror that Sri Aurobindo was using in Library House?”
Mother: “Yes, but it is in a very bad condition. I will give it for repair.”
C: “No, Mother, I would like to keep it as it is, without making any change. I shall only give it to Rishabhchand to treat it with solignum so that there may not be further decay.” Mother placed the mirror in my hands very happily.
C: “Mother, there was also a copy of The Mother, where Mother had written in Sanskrit the name Mira. Where is that book?”
Mother found it along with other books which had her autograph and gave all of them to me.
