The following notable incident has been documented by Priti Das Gupta, a direct disciple of Mother Mirra and Sri Aurobindo, in her book: Moments Eternal – Chapter: Our Father. In it she describes the spiritual insights, Mother Mirra offered her, when her father, Narendranath Das Gupta, passed away.
On 24th May, the day after father’s passing, we went back once again to the Mother. The Mother was waiting for us in the Meditation Hall, in Her chair. Hardly had we sat down around Her that She began talking to us about death.
“This body is nothing,” She repeated again and again touching Her own hand. “As you change an old sari with a new one, in the same way when the body becomes old and sick, we give up the old body and take up a new one. It is like leaving one room and entering another.”
And even as She was telling us this, suddenly She exclaimed:
“There! There in that corner near the Darshan room, your father is standing full of joy. He is telling you ‘I am extremely happy. Coming over to this side is not difficult at all. Very easy indeed! I am very happy’.
We turned around to look at that corner but we could not see father.
After father’s departure, why had the Mother asked us to meditate for an hour? This question was troubling me. Was it because something unforeseen had happened to father after his death? I therefore asked the Mother:
“Mother, why did you call us as soon as father had left his body? Why did you ask us to meditate for an hour?”
The Mother answered: “I asked you to meditate near your father’s bed for an hour because I performed the last rites for him during that time.”
