“Only to repeat: “Ma – Sri Aurobindo, Ma – Sri Aurobindo” (Mona Sarkar, The Supreme, Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry, 2001, p. 82, ISBN 81-7058-607-0)
When in your heart and thought you will make no difference between Sri Aurobindo and me, when to think of Sri Aurobindo will be to think of me and to think of me will mean to think of Sri Aurobindo inevitably, when to see one will mean inevitably to see other, like one and same Person, — then you will know that you begin to be open to the supramental force and consciousness. (CWM 13, p. 32)
