Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

August 6, 1935

About knocks and shocks, I suppose I have to agree, since you said I have to allow myself to be kicked along. But what about the other philosophers?

The kicking was suggested as a mild stimulant – it could not be included in shocks and knocks. However knocks can help – as man is now constituted – but it is not part of my philosophy, only a viewpoint of experience.
