from Niroddas.. Sri Aurobindo for all ages .. Years later, Barin, Sri Aurobindos younger brother, asked him: The Mother has written in her Prayers what she felt after she saw you. But what was your feeling when you saw the Mother? Sri Aurobindo paused for a moment and told him: That was the first time I knew that perfect surrender down to the last physical cell was humanly possible; it was when the Mother came and bowed down that I saw that perfect surrender in action. The spiritual significance of this meeting between Sri Aurobindo and the Mother is immeasurable and will reveal itself progressively through developments and manifestations in time. Superficially, it represented a meeting of the East and West but Sri Aurobindo himself was an embodiment of the East-West synthesis and the Mother a living expression of the finest flower of European culture along with spiritual affiliations with the East. No, the significance runs deeper. Once we asked Sri Aurobindo, The Mothers coming must have greatly helped you in your work and in your sadhana, did it not? He replied, Of course. All my realisations - Nirvana and others - would have remained theoretical as it were, so far as the outer world was concerned. It is the Mother who showed the way to a practical form. Without her, no organised manifestation would have been possible. And this is echoed in the Mothers profound words: Without him I exist not, without me he is unmanifest.
