Sri Aurobindo — Kamala Amin

January 2, 1932

Introspection

Mother,

Before joining the Ashram, I used to pray to Lord Krishna but when I heard about you and Sri Aurobindo, I started adoring both of you. There was an intense urge to come here. Many times, I had a Darshan of Sri Aurobindo in my dreams when I was in Gujarat. I always prayed to Sri Aurobindo, “O Lord, take me in your refuge.” Once Sri Aurobindo came in my dream and told me that 1 would be there within fifteen days and it happened so. Mother, I was worshipping Radha and Lord Krishna from my childhood and called them my Mother and Father. When I came here and had your Darshan I felt that I had a real Darshan of Radha and Lord Krishna. Afterwards I realized that Lord Krishna had brought me here and taken me under his protection. I call you both my Mother and Father and I truly feel it.

Mother¹, is it a fact or an illusion?

There is no mistake – if you have these experiences, you must consider that they are true.

Sri Aurobindo

¹ Letters addressed to the Mother used to be answered by Sri Aurobindo.
