They are dear to us especially for this nearness

[Unconditional love Times of India, Jul 18, 2011, Dada J P Vaswani defines the relationship between guru and disciple.  
The Mother from Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry, had a clear vision of her guru and she set out in search of him. You don't have to choose. The choice lies with God. A disciple is the one who believes, for whom his guru is everything.]

The contribution of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo to the 20th Century theory and practice is complex and wide ranging. Hence it is befitting that diverse layers of their influence would be studied with appropriate academic rigour and diligence through varied lenses catering to multiple interests. Their being the Divine and Supreme Gurus doesn’t invalidate the elaborate human action that they have performed so compassionately. They are dear to us especially for this nearness which conceals the greatest appeal and within the overarching safety of which we may well stare at them form whichever angle we feel like.
