They constitute a very illuminating document testifying to Sri Aurobindo's external intervention in politics, besides his occult action. I often used to see Surendra Mohan in advance to get current... current news and Sri Aurobindo would ask, "What does Surendra Mohan say?" Let me quote an instance to illustrate how Yogis have more insight into politics than politicians themselves.

Surendra Nath was overwhelmed and couldn't open... open his lips. He was content to receive her blessings, and he tame away with tears in his eyes. What a Mother! truly the Mother Divine!

The children of the Centre of Education, especially, were always in her thoughts. She had periodic ...

Apparently the Englishman has yet to learn that the movement in Bengal was not created by Page 134 any single man and... tossing on the surface of a whirlpool.

Even Caesar refused the crown thrice; but Surendra Babu has no scruples.

But the thing passes a joke... he makes the whole of Bengal ridiculous. Such performances are rather likely to diminish his prestige than increase it. But ever since the rise of a party which questions his methods and ideals, Surendra Babu has shown an uneasy desire to have his personal leadership proclaimed on the housetops and an almost hysteric tendency towards self-praise. The indecorous comparisons of himself with Christ and ...

Disciple : But they – the words – carry the audience allright. Aurobindo : Oh yes, of course ; what people require... in oratory ? Is it only an art'? Sri Aurobindo : Not so ; but even if there is thought you have to dilute it very much and throw it into the emotional vital.
