Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

August 20, 1935

I am very very happy, Sir – almost floating in Supramental bliss. Not only that, I feel you have done, after all, really something this time. Is this happiness an expression of the psychic or of the inner vital?

The psychic of course, with the vital in dependence on it.

What do you think of your namesake, I mean Aurobindo Bose – engineer? I like him very much.

A very fine fellow with much stuff in him and both strong and truly sincere in his spiritual aspiration.

He says that very soon you will be getting 2 to 3 lakhs of rupees and he wants me to get it verified from you.

Let us hope! let us hope! It would be very handy indeed.

I beg to be pardoned for one thing; today Dilipda was saying that he was very happy with this Darshan. I was so moved that I let out the secret of your “travelling forward” fast. Has it been a mistake to let it out?

No – only you must not tell it to too many people. It is only because I don’t want speculation or gossip about such things as that spoils the atmosphere.
