Goldy

1946-01-06

Lakshmibai used to bring Goldy—a very unusual dog—to Mother.

From there Goldy herself used to come to Sri Aurobindo's room—remarkable indeed! I would pick her up in my arms and carry her to Sri Aurobindo who would smile and caress her with both hands.

One day she went straight to where Sri Aurobindo was sitting and started to lick his feet, one after the other. Sri Aurobindo not only allowed it, but even bent over and patted her.

Goldy was free from sexuality. She never allowed any dog to come near her, and was furious if any tried. One who knew her would never permit the term “dog” to denote sexuality.
