Champaklal Speaks

Drop of Consolation

1946-05-26

When Sri Aurobindo was having his meal, something happened and the tumbler of grape-juice was upset on the table.

I picked it up and showed to Mother that one drop of juice was still left in it. Mother told Sri Aurobindo: “Champaklal says there is one drop of juice left in the tumbler.”

Sri Aurobindo smiled, took the glass and said: “Oh, one drop of consolation!” And he sipped it.
