Champaklal Speaks

Unique Event

1950-08-10

Nowadays Sri Aurobindo's time for lunch is earlier than before. Today it was 11 a.m. when Mother came—very unusual. She brought with her one small dish with a small bowl on it, some bread slices and a knife.

I started serving Sri Aurobindo. Mother sat on his cot—just in front of his table. She applied something to the bread. And as she was doing it, she told me: “Today I have no time to have food there. I shall have it here.”

I said: “Yes, Mother, very good.”

Sri Aurobindo smiled.

This was the first and the last time we saw them having food together. It was a rare event—from 11 to 11.29 a.m.
