What about the great Aurobindo? Did SB meet him at any time, anywhere?
Yes. Maharishi Aurobindo knew SB under a different name (Yogi Lele). He learned YOGA from SB, when he was probably in Baroda working as a Principal of college there. SB said that he was an excellent seeker; he could accomplish whatever was taught to him in no time! Such a brilliant student SB had rarely seen. But there cropped up a problem between them - Aurobindo wanted first to try his theory of "divinizing the matter, immortalizing the human and bringing the heaven down to the earth". He believed"in bringing harmony in life, not beyond". But, SB was of the different opinion. He said that one can realise the Highest, only on an individual basis, that one cannot do this for other people, not for the mass in general, that even great Avatars like Krishna could not do this for a long time.
