Daniel replies:

Art, the 2 poems are certainly not evidence
that Sri Aurobindo saw or met Kuthumi.

But that is not what I said.

Aurobindo's OWN WORDS are as follows:

"Once when I was practising yoga, He
whom the Theosophists call Master K.H.
came and stood before me and watched
my yoga. I requested him to accept me
as his disciple; but he said, 'Your 
Master is different.'"

Quoted on p. 214 of HAMMER ON THE 
MOUNTAIN by Howard Murphet. I believe
I verified that this quote
is from MAHAYOGI SRI AUROBINDO by Diwaker.

Art, these words of Aurobindo are not part of
any poem but apparently what he wrote
about an experience he had. I see
no "literary device" here.
