I do not, even to this day, definitely know what is the political standpoint of Aurobndo Ghosh. But this I positively know, that he is a great man, one of the greatest we have and therefore liable to be misunderstood by his friends. What I myself feel for him is not mere admiration but reverence for his depth of spirituality, his largeness of vision and his literary gifts, extraordinary and imaginative insight and expression. He is a true Rishi and poet combined, and I still repeat my Namaskar which I offered to him when he was first assailed by the trouble which ultimately made him an exile from the soil of Bengal.
