Sri Aurobindo — Roy, Dilip Kumar

November 25, 1936

This poem I wrote yesterday morning: the whole thing came like lightning – probably because I have had some real ananda after darshan after a long time. I was rather nervous yesterday morning – I would have black depression after darshan: for once, thank God, my gloomy prognostications proved untrue. Perhaps there is a lot of vital joy here – which appealed to Sotuda and even Mrs. Sarcar who both shed tears when I recited it to them yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Sarcar taking a copy of it. Que faire? J did have joy to see you or rather after seeing you which was rather an energetic kind of joy!

The more energetic the better and if the vital feels it, so much the better for the vital.

The poem [Yugal] is very beautiful indeed throughout.

I enclose Biren’s letter I received this morning.

I am sending you a cheque from Banerji for endorsement. He has sent it to replace the former one which was not negotiable by endorsement because it was a crossed cheque. Will you endorse it as before and send it back to Mother?
