(A.B. Purani, ''[[The Life of Sri Aurobindo]]'':) “Sri Aurobindo served in the Baroda state from 8 February 1893 to 18 June 1907. His age was twenty-one when he joined, thirty-five when he left. The period of his service was 13 years 5 months and 17 days. ...<br>
(Mother:) “One must have a strong will in order to achieve something. For example, whenever I wished to do something, I usually consulted [[Mira Ismalun|my grandmother]], who lived near Paris in the countryside. Some time in 1904 I expressed my wish to her to go to Algeria to learn [[occultism]].  First of all she refused strongly, because she thought that young women must not go to foreign countries without an escort, and as for occultism she was baffled.  But I was determined to go.  Then suddenly I took her hands into mine and started [[palmistry|reading her palms]]. I told her all about her past, present and future. She was amazed. I also convinced her of certain things regarding occultism which impressed her immensely.  Then not only did she permit me to go but gave me a bagful of money.”<ref>[[Huta]], ''Mother You said so...'', p.56</ref>
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Life at Baroda was full, though the political career that followed was like a tornado. Sri Aurobindo's activity during this period can be divided into five parts: (1) service in various departments of the State; (2) literary activity, reading and study – this part was partly connected with college work; (3) political activity – articles in the ''[[Induprakash]]'' and beginnings of the revolutionary movement, visits to Bengal during vacations for this purpose; (4) spiritual life; (5) [[Sri Aurobindo's family|family]] life.<br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;During this period Sri Aurobindo often stayed with [[Khaserao Jadhav]] in his house at Dandia Bazar. In his absence he stayed with Khaserao's brother [[Madhavrao Jadhav]]. Several other houses also were occupied at different times in Baroda.”<ref>A.B.
