x.....x Arriving incognito at Pondicherry in 1910 Sri Aurobindo remained engrossed in Yoga, attended upon by a few young disciples who had been his lieutenants during his short and turbulent political phase of life. Mirra’s quest led her to Sri Aurobindo. It was the 29th of March 1914. The train was approaching Pondicherry. She “had the occult experience of a great column of Light at the centre of the still distant town, and the awareness of the Light grew more intense when her feet touched the soil of the place.” At about 3.30 PM, she met Sri Aurobindo at his residence. Instantly she recognised him as the Krishna of her vision. She knew that she had no longer an agenda or a destiny separate from Sri Aurobindo’s. For Sri Aurobindo as well as for her, the so-called worldly life was not something that must remain eternally divorced from a life divine. The earth and the emergence of life on it were no accident. The evolution had not come to an end. If out of gross matter life evolved first as plants and then as numerous animals leading to the birth of the human being, and if mind evolved out of life, there is no reason to think that something greater than mind could not evolve out of mind. x....x (Shri Manoj Das in his article CELEBRATING THE CENTENARY OF A MOMENTOUS MEETING :A Hundred Years ago the Mother met Sri Aurobindo on the 29th of March published in “Uday India” March 30-April 05, 2014)
