Contact with Vivekananda [2]
If it is not indiscreet would you ask Sri Aurobindo if it is true that in 1909 – in Alipore jail – seven years after his death – Swami Vivekananda came to him, not in vision, but in actual fact, to ask him to continue the work, that he had not yet finished?
Sri Aurobindo says that Vivekananda came to him not in a visible form but as a presence which was with him for a fortnight during which V. spoke certain things about the processes of the higher Truth-Consciousness.1
