In 1950, I was returning from Pondicherry after the darshan of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. On the way, as my journey had to be broken at a city where my younger brother was working in an office, I went to see him. Later he came to see me off at the railway station. When I was going to board the intended train, I felt a strange uneasiness within me. I told this to him. He replied that it could be nothing, maybe I felt uncomfortable because of the hustle-bustle and the clatter on the platform. Yet something in me was not convinced and kept me back from travelling by that train. Anyway I decided to go by the next train which left after a couple of hours.

When I reached another station midway my journey back home, there the news was about that the train in which I had desisted from travelling had met with an accident some stations ahead and for that reason our train would not be leaving the platform for a time.

Although I was entirely ignorant of the coming calamity, the Mother portended to my heart inwardly by that knowing uneasiness not to travel by the first train and saved me from the fatal consequences.
