Entering Sri Aurobindo’s Path

Acceptance as a Disciple, 1926 – 1949 [8]

He can have darshan (only) if he comes for one of the three days. His request for advice etc. is too vague. I do not give advice or instructions in this general way. The whole question is whether he has the call or the capacity for the Yoga. That can only be seen when he comes here. He has to see first if the wish to offer himself is real, deep and persistent,— if the message has captured his heart or only touched his mind. All else afterwards.
