Sri Aurobindo — Roy, Dilip Kumar
February 18, 1937
Pavitra had no authority to say that Mother could be displeased or that you were to blame. Mother did not like that Suvrata1 should push herself like that and come, but she never had the idea that you were to blame. As it happened, you could not help it, since she practically invited herself and, as I wrote to you, we could not give her a flat refusal. So please don’t be upset or allow any feeling of malaise to linger. Sing your best, for when you do so it is something done for the Mother. Let no shadow fall on you for so trifling a matter.
1 Suvrata: Mme Yvonne Gæbelé, a French lady from Pondicherry who used to visit the Ashram and give French lessons. She was the Mayor’s wife. She was also the Director of Archaeological Dept. of Pondy for several terms.
