Sri Aurobindo — Roy, Dilip Kumar
June 1929
Silence can mean many other things besides consent. I do not know that I can consent to the dedication without seeing what you have written. I can read your Bengali writing very well, but I am afraid it would be difficult for me to make time, especially as you are in a hurry to publish.
But why all these dedications – especially to Ramakrishna and Vivekananda who seem to me to have very little to do with the theme of your play?1
I do not remember that I have ever written anything on this subject. In any case I do not wish to write anything about it now. People discuss these matters from a mental plane on which I no longer stand, their ideas about it on either side have nothing to do with the inner truth of things which is alone of any importance.
