Gautam Chawalla's Correspondence with The Mother

11 December 1966

“The lion, when stricken to the heart, gives out his mightiest roar. When smitten on the head, the cobra lifts his hood. And the majesty of the soul comes forth only when man is wounded to his depths.” — Vivekananda Is this true?

It is only a little bit true and a lot is literature — because the state of Nature which makes this necessary must be surpassed.

We aspire for the time when it will no longer be necessary for Sri Aurobindo to die.
