Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

October 7, 1936

After M recovers, don’t you think he had better go to Madras for a thorough check-up?

Yes.

... We must know whether it is stone or tumour in the kidney or bladder – a thorough investigation is necessary. If you think that your Force will cure or R’s treatment, then it is all right.

Can’t say without being sure what it is.

Regarding D.L. – R says he hadn’t had her confidence from the beginning. Is that why you said that conditions were not favourable for working through R?

He had the contrary – a strong anger, distrust and antipathy. But that was only one part of it.

I am also rather eager to know what else was the trouble due to, if not physical, unless of course it is private.

It is private, at present at least. Mother says it is an affair between her and D.L.

You write – “... for me all are only outward means, and what really works are unseen forces...” [3.10.36]. Could you amplify it a little further? And also explain how one can make oneself a right channel for the right Force, Faith, Intuition?

Sir, do you think I have time for your interesting questions? I have had three nights’ work to do in a single night – and in that my table lamp gone. In other perhaps fre-a-er off times.

J’s poem held back.
