Sri Aurobindo — Patel, Govindbhai

January 1934

January 1934

Mahatma Gandhi wrote to Sri Aurobindo directly again if he could see him if his retirement was not a vow. When I enquired, Sri Aurobindo wrote to me as follows:

In the letter he simply expressed the desire he had for a long time to meet me and asked me to see him if my retirement was not a vow. I have written that I cannot depart from the rule so long as the reason for it lasts.
