Sri Aurobindo’s Dilemma

1949-09-26

Sri Aurobindo was having his lunch. On seeing a bowl on the table, he asked me: “What is it?”

C: “Lemon pickles.”

Sri Aurobindo: “How is it to be taken? When is it to be taken?” I explained. Then he started taking it along with the vegetable, At times he would ask what day of the week it was! When the answer was given, he would exclaim: “Ah... ah!”
