Theos-Talk Archives (December 2000 Message tt00037)

Thank you Art for the transcription below 
of what Aurobindo said in 1938.

But this does not settle the question
about what is reportedly said or written
by Aurobindo in these words:

"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.

Are these Aurobindo's words? And when
did he speak or write them?

Maybe his experience with "K.H." was
AFTER Dec. 14, 1938.

I am inquiring into this matter and hope
to have more information.

Daniel
