1936-37

Those who have visited other Ashrams say there is no Ashram like this one, no Guru like the Mother or Sri Aurobindo – it is beyond imagination. The freedom given here to every sadhak is really too much. And yet many here do not seem to know even what is meant by a spiritual Guru and how to respect him properly!

Certainly very few seem to realise what a possibility has been given them here – all has been turned into an opportunity for the bubbling of the vital or the tamas of the physical rather than used for the intended psychic and spiritual purpose.
