Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

January 16, 1936

Why are you so afraid of P’s screams? Surely yogis ought to be able to bear a little suffering and you ought to encourage or allow it, Sir!

She is not that kind of Yogi. She would only scream and get as wild as Durvasa1 and stop going to the dispensary – apart from copious weeping etc.

R.B. is all right. I thought she has been doing some work, but now I find she is taking a holiday.

True, she is very lazy. You can perhaps tell her that work now ought to do her good and recommend it as part of the treatment!

 

1 A Rishi notorious for his anger.
