Sri Aurobindo — Nahar, Prithwi Singh
January 7, 1937
Mother,
Yesterday I received a letter from Anindita Devi1 and a note enclosed therein from Shantisudha Devi. It seems to me that intellectually she has understood something of the Master’s writings much better that many people but has not yet read sufficiently to understand the unique contribution of the Master and the new standpoint from which he has essayed the problem of monism vs. dualism, the reconciliation of dynamism in a Sachchidananda Consciousness.
As she seems to me to be sincere I have written something to make the point clear and the two extracts from the Master’s writings I believe will be helpful to her. If you do not approve of what I have written Mother please let me know or if I have not caught the point of her difficulty.
As to other enquiries about coming to the Asram and correspondence, shall I write that as a rule the Master does not reply2 to outside questions for want of time and it is better to write for permission for coming to the Asram through some friends or shall I say that it can be written to Nolini or directly to You?
I shall reply as you will please direct me.
With deep devotion
Prithwisingh
It may be better not to write directly but through friends. What you have written along with the extracts are, I think, a sufficient answer to her question, at least as it has been put.
