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
EVENING
There was talk again about the Baron-Schomberg affair; it was said that it was Schomberg who had made all the mischief.
PURANI: Ali has heard from somebody that you have remarked about his progress since Darshan.
SRI AUROBINDO: When did I say that?
PURANI: That was what I was wondering about. I told him that you might have said you had been pleased with him or something like that. Alys said, "Sri Aurobindo doesn't say anything about me! Every time it is Ali and Ali. He doesn't find me good, perhaps!" (Laughter) I consoled her.
SRI AUROBINDO: You could have said that it goes without saying in her case.
