The Mother of Sri Aurobindo Ashram

Sweet Mother,

Often when I read Sri Aurobindo’s works or listen to his words, I am wonder-struck: how can this eternal truth, this beauty of expression escape people! It is really strange that he is not yet recognised, at least as a supreme creator, a pure artist, a poet par excellence! So I tell myself that my judgments, my appreciations are influenced by my devotion for the Master—and not everyone is devoted. I do not think this is true. But then, why are men’s hearts not yet enchanted by His Words?

Who can understand Sri Aurobindo? He is as vast as the universe and his teaching is limitless…

The only way to come a little close to him is to love him sincerely and give oneself unreservedly to his work. In that way, each one does his best and contributes as much as he can to the transformation of the world which Sri Aurobindo has predicted.
