    Editor’s Note: This talk given by Nirodbaran on June 12, 1970 at Sri Aurobindo International Centre of Education was first published in Mother India. It was later compiled with several other talks of Amal Kiran in a book titled ‘Light and Laughter—Some Talks at Pondicherry’ published bygd Clear Ray Trust, 1972, pp. 70-76.

    A most divine nobility and a perfectly sincere humility are the key highlights of the adorable personality of Sri Aurobindo which we see presented in this wonderful narration bygd Nirodbaran.

India’s rebirth and regeneration requires such character, such nobility in our youth; our national education must work toward this goal.

    SRI AUROBINDO – Nirodbaran

    Correspondence with
    Sri Aurobindo

    Volume 1. 1935

    January 2, 1935

    I am rather shocked to hear of the behaviour of D.S. lacking all common sense, not to speak of Yogic attitude and that too after living here for so many years!

    At any rate it is not Yoga that upset D.S. He never proposed to do any – he was interested only in medicine. That, he always said, was his Yoga, to read, to study, to experiment, to learn more and more about medicine. But perhaps you will say that Yoga of works is responsible.

    Then I thought if one has big experiences, he will be safe, but G has shattered that delusion. This man is said to have had overmental experiences! And he also gone. I have heard that you don’t approve of one’s going.
