Record of Yoga
Undated notes c. January 1927
(Kanai:) “I came to Pondicherry on the 19th of July in 1923.
I was in contact with Sri Aurobindo through Barin. Previously on seeing a photograph of mine Sri Aurobindo had written to Barin giving, first, the Mother’s (She was called Mirra then) reading and then his own comment. The Mother’s reading was: An extremely interesting head; highly psychical personality; the danger for this type is in the body which may be consumed by the intensity of the psychic flame.
Sri Aurobindo’s comment: Calmness, peace, descending into the body will make it immune from all danger. They are indispensable in this case. ...”[1]
(Champaklal:) “While giving Sri Aurobindo’s lunch dish to me after he had finished, Mother said: “The Being we want to manifest in you demands your complete surrender. He is one of four brothers. He wants to manifest in you and is waiting for you to be ready. And that Being wishes that I should work in you.”
On another day she said: “The Being has entered into you.”
The next day, she said: To bring down Immortality four pillars are needed. Of them
- Purity is Kanai,
- Faith is Tirupati,
- Adoration is Rajangam,
- Aspiration is Champaklal.”[2]
- ↑ Breath of Grace, “As I Remember” by Kanai
- ↑ Champaklal Speaks, p.69, 20 November 1926
