Scene 6

(Sri Aurobindo’s chamber. Sri Aurobindo and Barin.)

BARIN: Sejda, today you must tell me when I should begin my revolutionary work.

AURO: Bari, tomorrow you may start for Calcutta. You will help Jatin Banerjee there in his work. I have asked him to work among the grown-ups and the educated. You and Abinash Bhattacharya will work amongst students.

BARIN: Seida, if there be any disagreement between Jatin and me . . .

AURO: No, Bari, you must never think of that disheartening thing. I am there behind you all. Don’t fear. I too will be coming to join you all.

BARIN: Seida, there is only one leader in India to whom I can bow. You know who he is. It is you who are at once my guide and India’s only hope.
