Champaklal Speaks : 'It is the Ramayana of my life'. 'My life is Sri Aurobindo & the Mother only. To write down their sweet memories is Champaklal's worship'
Once it happened that some photographs were placed before Mother for signing. I pointed to a photo of Sri Aurobindo—the one without the chair at the back—and said: “Mother, I do not like this photo at all.”
Mother looked at me with surprise: “What?”
C: “Yes, Mother, I do not like it.” Mother became a little serious.
I went downstairs and brought another photograph of Sri Aurobindo—the one with the chair visible at the back—and said: “Mother, I like this one.”
Mother held the photo in her hand, went on looking at it for a very long time. I moved away to my place at a little distance.
At that time Amrita was with the Mother with some papers. She turned to him and said: “There is vital force, a living atmosphere in this photo; that is why Champaklal likes it. In the other photo there is supramental light but no vital life. That is why he does not like it.”
