Sri Aurobindo — Roy, Dilip Kumar
April 7, 1931
I suppose I am silent, first, because I have no “free-will” and, secondly, because I have no Time.
Less metaphysically and more yogically, there are periods when silence becomes imperative, because to throw oneself outward delays the “work that has to be done.”
I suppose some day I will write about Free Will, but for the moment there is no effective will, free or otherwise, to do it. There is no niyoga [appointment] from “Hrishikesh”, I am afraid your uncle will have to wait till it comes.
