Chapter 16

Union Even In Departure

Words of the Mother

You know, when He left, … when He wanted to leave His body, He remained from the 5th December till the 9th … At that time, He was charged with an unimaginable consciousness. It was a dynamic activity of the consciousness which radiated from His body. It was so concrete, so physical, that everything vibrated in Him with an astonishing power. It was so physically concrete … I was beside Sri Aurobindo at that time. And I was seeing that Sri Aurobindo’s consciousness was coming out from Him and entering directly into me, like this, physically. It was an extraordinary phenomenon. I could feel His consciousness entering into my pores with a friction. It was as concrete as that. It was so intense that it was penetrating into me with a friction, something absolutely physical which I could feel outwardly. Like this, all His consciousness entered in me, because it is the same consciousness.

And He gave me everything before leaving. Everything, everything, without restraint and with a total self-giving, as if all His consciousness merged into me. And it continued for hours and hours. Ah, it was so material an event that one cannot imagine. I cannot describe it … He has left everything for me.
