Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

June 18, 1935

I send you a small poem, opinion?

It is a very attractive little poem.

But where is the joy of the creator? I don’t find or feel any!

It is the medical man with his forceps that comes in the way of the Ananda, I suppose – too much occupied with the doubt and difficulty of delivery. But the poet is there beyond a doubt now. So buck up, knock off the Man of Sorrows from your shoulders and go cheerfully ahead.
