Letters of Sri Aurobindo
SABCL 26

Q: Sardar Vallabhbhai asked X when you would come out and guide people. X replied that that was not to be expected. But perhaps Vallabhbhai had a meaning in his question which X did not understand.
A: Perhaps not. Vallabhbhai is not likely to understand more than others that a spiritual life can be led by me without a view to a come back hereafter for the greatest good of the greatest India (or world). Tagore expected the latter and is much disappointed that I have not done it.
