Sri Aurobindo — Kamala Amin

Undated

It was a moonlit night. I was sitting in Motiben’s lap under a banyan tree by the sea shore, enjoying the sight of the surging waves. All of a sudden the tide turned and started rising. I even told Motiben that we might get drowned because it appeared like Pralaya to me. Soon a huge wave drowned us and we were submerged in water. But I was not afraid at all; on the contrary, I found it very enjoyable.

Mother, what is the significance of this dream?

The sea must have been only the symbol of a new consciousness submerging the old.
