Visiting Sri Aurobindo's room

Somebody wants to visit Sri Aurobindo's room again and sit there to meditate for some time.

What are his qualifications and titles to such a great privilege?

Visiting again is all right. People can come to Sri Aurobindo's room. But to be allowed to sit and meditate there, one must have done much for Sri Aurobindo.

Sweet Mother,

You have said that to be allowed to sit in Sri Aurobindo's room and meditate there, “one must have done much for Him”¹

What do You mean by that, Mother? What can one do for the Lord which will be this “much”?


To do something for the Lord is to give Him something of what one has or of what one does or of what one is.* In other words, to offer Him a part of our belongings or all our possessions, to consecrate to Him a part of our work or all our activities, or to give ourselves to Him totally and unreservedly so that He can take possession of our nature in order to transform and divinise it. But there are many persons who, without giving anything, always want to take and to receive. These people are selfish and they are not worthy of meditating in Sri Aurobindo's room. *
