Sri Aurobindo — Roy, Dilip Kumar

October 30, 1948

The Mother has given for your perusal an account of the theme of Anu’s dance. It runs into three scenes. In the first the curtain rises showing India in slavery and bondage. Then she awakes and tries to throw off the yoke; the spirit of fight grows. In the second scene liberation has come and its joy and the action of a free people. But she is faced with all sorts of problems such as financial crisis, division, corruption and moral degradation, etc. She looks to every side for a solution, but finds no way out. The confusion grows worse and worse. In the third scene, faced with all these difficulties she aspires and becomes conscious of the soul of the all-pervading Mother and feels a growing union with that soul. She finds out her spiritual mission in the world and by it realises the complete unity of the country. From the moment she becomes conscious of her soul, chorus begins rising into a great force and enthusiasm.
