Epilogue
That fateful year 1914 had begun.
The dark clouds were gathering over Europe.
But . . .
"A star stood in the east —the morning star— and a coming brightness smote the heavens. Out of the light a still voice came advancing, swelling, widening, until it filled all space. 'Look forth,' it said, 'upon the groaning earth, with all its cold, and pain, and cruelty, and death. Look forth, and fear not; but when the worn-out faiths of nations shall totter like old men, turn eastward, and behold the light that lighteth every man; for there is nothing dark it doth not lighten; there is nothing hard it cannot melt; there is nothing lost it will not save."1
In the East they met.
Sri Aurobindo and Mirra.

Mother and Sri Aurobindo.
Together they set out to bring that Light to this groaning Earth.
In this hour of Earth's history, when the worn-out faiths of nations are tottering like old men, bring down this Light they did; for, in truth, nothing is lost in It, no darkness escapes It, It lays out to light the innermost recesses of every man. Of every nation.
Together, Sri Aurobindo and Mother were going to accomplish the greatest adventure of man.
