Champaklal Speaks

Dinner after Midnight

1949-10-13

It was 12.40 at night when Mother came to Sri Aurobindo's room, talked to him and went away. She came back at 12.50 and told me: “I suppose everyone must have gone. I don't think they are waiting for me.”

I did not say anything. For I was surprised by Mother's statement. Surely people waiting for her would not just go away?

Then Mother went out, sent word downstairs asking people to go, and came back for Sri Aurobindo's dinner which started at 12.52 a.m. and lasted till 1.15 a.m.
