Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

August 13, 1936

Chand has sent money to buy garlands for you. You can bless him without garlands, can’t you?

Yes, of course – quite able.

Jatin has brought me a pair of dhotis. I shall feel highly gratified if you will kindly use one.

I have two drawers packed with dhotis already! Why not use both – your supplies being undoubtedly less?

Do you know what all these people say? That they feel peace, peace everywhere, which one never finds at any other place!

Of course!

Jatin has been saying that Peace is coming as if in waves! Satuda the same, and Dr. Becharlal runs close, if not more! You must be very glad indeed to hear this news.

It is not news! Numbers of people have said the same thing – even carry it to Europe and keep it there in the midst of the crush and confusion.

I wish I could get a little of this long-cherished and much-coveted basis of your Yoga.

It is because you people here, having no infernal shindy outside themselves, create one inside it. The vital can’t get on without a shindy – finds life dull otherwise.
