Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

September 7, 1935

I send the poem at last, as your Sunday exercise! Dilipda says that it is good; but it is still incomplete.

From what I have seen of it (first page), Dilip is probably right. However let’s gulp the whole whale before pronouncing on the quality of its oil.

What does the abbreviation “A.I.” mean in your letter of yesterday?

I’m hanged if I know – I was referring to something that had cropped up in the course of the debate, but I must have put the wrong initials and, probably, also failed to finish the sentence. I think I had meant to write “I.I. (Ignorance and Inconscience) is the law” or something to that effect. But it is better to drop it.
