Champaklal Speaks

Remembering Things

Once Satyendra¹ told Sri Aurobindo about an unusual capacity of Madhav. And that is, if anyone was introduced to Madhav, he always remembered the person and his name, even long afterwards.

On another occasion, I told Sri Aurobindo: “I do not remember numbers; I have to make great effort even to remember my own age.”

Sri Aurobindo: “Yes, it happens very often; one cannot remember certain things. I cannot remember names.” And he smiled.
