(26-Nov-1904 to 29-Jun-2011)
"..the long years of aspiration are coming to fruition. Those four lines:
Arms taking to a voiceless supreme delight,
Life that meets the Eternal with close breast,
An unwalled mind dissolved in the Infinite,
Force one with unimaginable rest.
It was in 1937 that I wrote to Sri Aurobindo, "I aspire to live, as well as echo in quality of inspiration, those four lines of yours which I consider a plenary Mantra. Show me a way to realise my aspiration, I feel very impatient though I must confess to my shame that aspiration of the poet is more frequently in the forefront than that of the Yogi."
Sri Aurobindo's reply started with "Impatience does not help; intensity of aspiration does..."
At last this aspiration is coming to fruition."
- Amal Kiran, 29/30 October 1992.
-
Amal Kiran is nothing if not a sadhak, - a sadhak with a most intense and ardent aspiration for self-realisation and God-union and eventually, the divine life... Amal Kiran's burning faith in Sri Aurobindo and the Mother is an iridescent example to all disciples and devotees of the twin Avatars.
Who is Amal Kiran ? Kekoo D. Sethna - a sadhak resident at Sri Aurobindo Ashram.
What is Amal Kiran ? In his being a spiritual soul whose one preoccupation is its evolution to the integral Divine; in his nature a pure ray serene; an incandescent, receptive intelligence, buddhi; a quiet resolute determination, samkalpa, a flaming, unifying love, prema.
