Sri Aurobindo

Letters on Himself and the Ashram

The Complete Works of Sri Aurobindo. Volume 35

Darshan

Admission to Darshan [1]

Write that usually Sri Aurobindo sees on these days only his disciples, whether those residing in the Asram or those who come to him from outside, and a few others who are either connected in some way with the Asram, its work or its members or else are given permission for special reasons. Permission is not given to all who would like to come, as that would mean an impossible number and it would besides entirely break the principle of Sri Aurobindo’s {{0}}retirement.[[This and many other letters in this and the next chapters were written by Sri Aurobindo to his secretary, who replied to the correspondent. — Ed.]]
