Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

November 12, 1935

How can 1 refuse the elixir? Only give it tangibly, concretely.

A concrete elixir is your business, not mine – as you claim to be a scientist.

S is down again, after taking yellow rice (oily). I was called this morning and found him writhing with burning pain in the abdomen... Had vomiting. It is the blessed liver again.

He medicated himself yesterday by taking 10 or 12 black peppers with salt to counteract the intense burning! Look at the fellow. I don’t know how to counteract the poisonous effect.

The fellow is terrible. You mean there is no medicine for it in the allopathic pharmacopoeia?
