Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

July 6, 1934

Last two weeks what misery and wretchedness I have gone through! On close inspection I find that the only unusual thing I have done is having meals at D’s place, cooked by Nishikanta.

It may have helped, but it is not likely to be the main cause. Something in the atmosphere probably to which you opened yourself.

Or is it not due to food at all? I have heard that at the time of Darshan all our cravings are thrown up.

There is no such inevitable rule. It is true that attacks are frequent at that time, but one need not admit them.
