Nagen was a little puzzled. He asked Sukumar... river and missed the boat carrying Sri Aurobindo, Amar and Manmatha. Failing to meet them, Nagen and Surendra returned to Sukumar and told him of the mishap. Sukumar then told them to go immediately to Chand Pal Ghat and remove the trunks from the cabin. Surendra left the work at this stage. It was now six o'clock in the evening. Nagen found out that the doctor who issued the health-certificates had already... were waiting in a carriage.

Prakrtim yanti bbutani which means All animals... Page 413 One cannot sufficiently admire Sri Aurobindo for his limitless human kindliness! Now our last piece for this chapter: this one concerns one Chand, a devotee from outside and a close friend of NB's. Chand was rather wayward and somewhat eccentric; yet the readers will not fail to note how Sri Aurobindo's compassion and generosity flowed towards him in profuse streams of humour... all over the world. It will be no wonder if he loses all he has. NB: Chand's wire to me: "Why silent great struggle protection". Guru, I don't know why he says "silent".

... miraculous power of the Mother’s blessing-flower which even a sceptic like me could not brush aside. Now, a new and more subtle danger was laying its trap in the guise of spirituality. My old friend Chand who belonged to the same town brought to me a middle-aged woman, first as a patient, then as some sort of a spiritual seeker. She had abandoned her family life and was looking for a shelter where she... without telling even my poor mother, I started for the Ashram. It was in February 1935, three years to the day after my last Darshan in 1930.1 came to know later that, with regard to the woman brought by Chand, I had been saved from a snare I was unwittingly falling into in the name of spirituality. The woman’s later life confirmed the suspicion. Page 17 ...

There is no certainty about the time of Duraiswami's coming and meanwhile Chand may have gone to join. himself to his better half, the Calcutta Corporation. Why does not Chand send you the power of attorney ready... Because ignorance is bliss and they would feel very uncomfortable if they felt these things or were at all aware of them. As for the elation they get it without needing to know the cause. [Chand's telegram:] "Great inertia again letter follows." Guru, another bombardment! What an impulsive fellow! Almost unparalleled.

He is not allowed a longer leave as there are all new hands at the hospital. Chand says that one day he will commit suicide due to lack of faith!
