29th March 1914-the meeting

 It was about 3:30 pm in the afternoon of the 29th that Mirra Richard made her way to Sri Aurobindo’s residence at 37, Rue Francois Martin[3]. As she began climbing the staircase, he emerged from the room and quietly stood at the top of the stairs. The meeting had a profound effect on her. The next day, she wrote in her diary: “It matters little that there are thousands of beings plunged in the densest ignorance, He whom we saw yesterday is on earth; his presence is enough to prove that a day will come when darkness shall be transformed into light, and Thy reign shall be indeed established upon earth.[

These bodies summed the drift of numberless births, 
And the spirit to the spirit was the same. 
Amazed by a joy for which they had waited long, 
The lovers met upon their different paths, 
Travellers across the limitless plains of Time 
Together drawn from fate-led journeyings 
In the self-closed solitude of their human past, 
To a swift rapturous dream of future joy 
And the unexpected present of these eyes. 
By the revealing greatness of a look, 
Form-smitten the spirit's memory woke in sense. 
The mist was torn that lay between two lives; 
Her heart unveiled and his to find her turned; 
Attracted as in heaven star by star, 
They wondered at each other and rejoiced 
And wove affinity in a silent gaze. 
A moment passed that was eternity's ray, 

An hour began,the matrix of new time!

Savitri. Sri Aurobindo
