OCTOBER 7th 1940:
Sri Aurobindo ridiculed this as escapist myth-making. When a disciple said that:
'"it is because of the British divide-and-rule policy that we (Hindus and Muslims) can't unite"
Aurobindo replied:
"Nonsense! Was there unity in India before the British rule?"
But now since our national consciousness is more developed there is more chance of unity if the British don't bolster up Jinnah and his Muslim claims.
Does Jinnah want unity?...What he wants is Independence for Muslims
and if possible rule over India.'
JUNE 21st 1940:
'In Kashmir, the Hindus had all the monopoly. Now if the Muslims demands are acceded to, the Hindus will be wiped out'

Writers on esotericism and traditional wisdom, such as Mircea Eliade, Paul Brunton, and Rene Guenon, all saw him as an authentic representative of the Indian spiritual tradition.

ALDOUS HUXLEY, (1894-1963) English novelist and essayist. wrote:
"Unlike early Judaism, Christianity and Mohammedanism (all obsessed with time) Hinduism and Buddhism have never been persecuting faiths, have preached almost no holy wars and have refrained from that proselytizing religious imperialism
which has gone hand in hand with political and economic oppression of colored people."
