A LOVER OF LIGHT AMONG LUMINARIES : Dilip Kumar Roy Q. : Dilip Kumar writes in his work somewhere that he raised questions
frequently to realize whether Sri Aurobindo's power was human or Divine.
What did you think of him at that time ? A. : That way, he spent a lot of time in writing. But we are the gainers for that

So, he was always tilting from one side to the other but he confesses it in his letters to Sri Aurobindo. Otherwise he had fairly good relation with (the) Mother not as thick as with Sri Aurobindo. But even then the Mother was very kind to him. ...Cmaudible)... But he was also a very touchy person, you see. With anybody he may get angry or mistake his intentions and like that. But we can't say that he had not high regard for the Mother also. ...inaudible)...
