April 16, 1932
Experience: Last night I found myself near the house of S—of course, I do not know where her house is situated; but the atmosphere told me that it was her house—somewhere along the road near the sea....
I found Mr. R ordering all his servants to pack their things as quickly as possible. As the things got packed up, they were being arranged in a motor-lorry waiting outside the house.
When the motor-lorry was fully loaded, servants came in disguise and took their seats by the side of the driver. All the children were dressed in torn clothes, and were packed up in a motor-car and were sent away to some unknown place.
A specially prepared horse-carriage arrived and Mr and Mrs both dressed in disguise., hid themselves in the specially prepared box of the carriage, and the carriage was driven away at full speed as if running away to save their lives....
Explanation: What you say was some possibility, created there probably by the thoughts of people on the earth—especially as this is the election time when such things are likely to run about in people's minds.
Sri Aurobindo
