Sri Aurobindo : Biographies

Sri Aurobindo to His Biographers

It would be only myself who could speak of things in my past giving them their true form and significance.


I see that you have persisted in giving a biography - is it really necessary or useful? The attempt is bound to be a failure, because neither you nor anyone else knows anything at all of my life; it has not been on the surface for men to see.


But why write my biography at all? Is it really neces­sary? In my view, a man's value does not depend on what he learns, or his position or fame, or what he does, but on what he is and inwardly becomes.
