Sri Aurobindo — Roy, Dilip Kumar
April 14, 1950
I was glad to get your letter and I think it is not necessary for me to write more than a few lines since all that is of practical importance in these matters has been sufficiently settled already – your withdrawal into solitude, Indira’s position and her work and the typing of your play. One thing only remains to say a word about: the Mother told me that she had already spoken to Rani1, not this time but on a former occasion and pointed out to her that the attitude of a sadhika claiming to take possession of a sadhak in this way was untenable and contrary to the spirit of our Yoga. She fully recognised it and promised to take the right course and made an earnest attempt to do it. The Mother thinks her present action is only a temporary relapse and she will take the right course after a time, but she thinks she will take it up herself and that will be better than pressing her at the moment. So don’t say anything to Rani about it; she is fairly sure to come right in the end of her own accord.
My love and blessings
1 Rani was the wife of Dr. Somnath Maitra.
