AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

This is the compilation from which I read about the Mother and Mona Sarkar’s conversation: 🦚[…]

It is quite possible. Mona da told me this story of the Mother seeing the photographs of the revolutionaries. He didn’t mention anything about Bose. In any case, it is a passing remark and goes well with Subhash Bose’s love for the Motherland. Illumined psychic is a soul that has awakened. After all, he did admire Sri Aurobindo.

But that does not take away from the real difficulties of one’s nature, which are found even in Rishis and Munis. Besides love, intense passionate love can be quite blinding and make one oblivious of the dark side of things. Perhaps his love for India blinded him, and he could not see the Asura behind Hitler just as Tagore could not see the Asura behind Mussolini.

Affectionately,

Alok Da
