Sri Aurobindo — Roy, Dilip Kumar

November 1933

But I thought that X might not be encouraged so hastily by our ever-encouraging Mother (albeit a charming assurer of lost souls but maybe only till the day of collapse – if such encouragement is given to a life of wine and women) as the value of encouragement is somewhat diminished when what is encouraged – as X maintained his outside life of reckless war – is not so thrilling a life after all?

Encouragement, yes, but not false encouragement – especially on such egregious, hair-raising, thunder-striking and flabbergasting grounds!
