Sri Aurobindo — Roy, Dilip Kumar

February 1935

No translation again today. I shall make up in the days to follow when the correspondence is closed in view of the Darshan (that need not interfere with you at all.) Of course I was not serious in my naṣtāmi [wickedness] [?] my burlesque derivation (throwing one’s wife into the water = ābdār [indulgent request, cajoling].) That was only a little gambol on the head of Girija. I shall see also whether I can explain what I mean by Force (the one which I refer to being neither supramental nor omnipotent nor guaranteed to work like Beecham’s pills in every case) and how it acts and in what conditions. I have tried it in hundreds of cases besides Dayakar’s (on my own body first and [daily?]) and I have no doubt of its reality or efficacy under these conditions. However, of that on some later date.
