Rooms Change, Significance Remains

My rooms have been changed so often. In 1923, the room I was given in Guest House was the Mother's room when she stayed in that house. So too, when she moved into Meditation House, she gave me the room she had occupied in Library House. And my present room in Meditation House, which was Sri Aurobindo's bathroom, was earlier Mother's room.

Don't you find that interesting? Of course I have spent more time with her, wherever she was in the day, than in my rooms. But that—being able to stay all the time in her presence—is another story, another play of her boundless Grace.
