Champaklal Speaks

Not for Siddhi but for Sadhana

1944-05-30

Dr. Manilal: “Sir, how long will the inconscient continue?”

Sri Aurobindo: “You have already asked this question. It is like the second front.”¹

M: “Sir, when will the first transformed man appear? I am not asking of the last man.”

Sri Aurobindo: “Who is the first?”

M: “I do not know Sir, you must be knowing!”

Sri Aurobindo: “I do not try to know. I was not born for sādhana-siddhi. I was born only for doing sadhana. So I must remain ignorant of what you ask. Perhaps an unexpected person may come first!”
