At the feet of The Mother and Sri Aurobindo

22 May 1933

MYSELF: When one wants to wipe out the past and build up one’s future with you as the guide, why then should there be so much attachment for the fallen remnants of the past? Should the memory always be in bondage even after understanding all this?

SRI AUROBINDO: It is because the old habitual ways of thinking and feeling have still roots in the physical mind and vital and subconscious; you have either to root them out or to work them out.

(22.5.33)
