Third class devotees

While dwelling evocatively on Towards the Rebirth of India at sulekha.com [Sep 24 2008 10:22 AM], Aju Mukhopadhyay has drawn the attention of the readers, inter alia, towards the plight of the transsexuals. Incidentally, like the third gendered represent an intermediate state, there is a certain section of persons who are neither devotees of The Mother and Sri Aurobindo, nor non-devotees. They are a curious lot who feel it is their right to be at liberty to pledge their allegiance to The Mother and Sri Aurobindo at will or whim, and take it back at the next breath. They are in a transitional state, no doubt, and we should sympathize with them, but they constitute a nuisance at any rate. [TNM]
