When the hostile forces want to attack those around me but do not succeed in making them overtly hostile to Sri Aurobindo’s work or in making them turn against me personally, they always use the same tactic, with the same argument: ‘You may have all the inner realizations you want,’ they say, ‘the most beautiful experiences possible inside your four Ashram walls, but as far as the outer world is concerned, your life is wasted, lost. There is an abyss you will never bridge between your inner experience and a concrete realization in the world.’

\ninner experience from
