Sri Aurobindo : conversations
Talks with Sri Aurobindo is a thousand-page record of Sri Aurobindo's conversations with the disciples who attended to him during the last twelve years of his life. The talks are informal and open-ended, for the attendants were free to ask whatever questions came to mind. Sri Aurobindo speaks of his own life and work, of the Mother and the Ashram, of his path of Yoga and other paths, of India's social, cultural and spiritual life, of the country's struggle for political independence, of Hitler and the Second World War, of modern science, art and poetry, and of many other things that arose in the course of conversation. Serious discussion is balanced with light-hearted banter and humour. By recording these human touches, Nirodbaran has brought out the warm and intimate atmosphere of the talks.
THEME/S
There was some talk about Purushottam, a sadhak who had gone away.
DR. MANILAL: Did he have any occult knowledge?
SRI AUROBINDO: All his knowledge of previous births is humbug. What he had was some life-force which he could apply on the physical.
DR. MANILAL: What does that mean, Sir?
SRI AUROBINDO: You have to read The Life Divine for that.
DR. MANILAL: How could he have this fall?
SRI AUROBINDO: The physical mind.
