Know Thy Master – Champaklal on Sri Aurobindo’s habits

Sri Aurobindo always kept his feet bare however cold the weather; he never covered them at night. They were always bare.

Sri Aurobindo had the utmost dislike of flies. If any fly suddenly touched his body or came near during meal-times, though we tried our best to ensure that no flies came, yet, if ever it happened, an expression of dislike would immediately appear on his face. It was the only thing that brought dislike to his face.
