Champaklal Speaks


“Was I Sleeping?”

1950-05-13

It was 12.32 at night. Sri Aurobindo asked me to put down his back-rest. After some time he asked: “What is the time?”

C: “1.45 a.m.”?

Sri Aurobindo: “Ah, ah!” And he closed his eyes again remained like that for some time. Then he called me and asked whether I had woken him up. I said: “No.”

Sri Aurobindo: “Was I sleeping?”

C: “Your eyes were closed but I cannot say whether you sleeping or awake. I do not know.” He took a long breath an seemed to me he was recollecting something. He said nothing! there was an indescribable expression on his face.

“Did you wake me up?”, “Was I sleeping?” Asking such questions to an ordinary man he behaved as ordinary men do. What Leela!

Tonight Mother went downstairs for Pranam at 1.28 a.m. and came up at 1.50 a.m. Sri Aurobindo went to bed at 2.25 a.m.
