Talks with Sri Aurobindo

Volume 1

10 December 1938 – 14 January 1941

11 January 1941

There was some talk about Purushottam, a sadhak who had gone away.

Dr. Manilal: Did he have any occult knowledge?

Sri Aurobindo: All his knowledge of previous births is humbug. What he had was some life-force which he could apply on the physical.

Dr. Manilal: What does that mean, Sir?

Sri Aurobindo: You have to read The Life Divine for that.

Dr. Manilal: How could he have this fall?

Sri Aurobindo: The physical mind.
