Entering Sri Aurobindo’s Path

Acceptance as a Disciple, 1926 – 1949 [28]

I am sending the photograph of X. Please see him, for he has come with much faith and bhakti for the Mother and Sri Aurobindo.

Mother does not want to see him; he has come without permission and, if we start seeing all the people who come like that, there will be no value in the rule. If he had a true Yogic capacity, it would be different, but we see no trace of it. Tell him he needs another kind of guidance — he would not be able to stand this Yoga.
