Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

February 16, 1937

P said about my new poems that they seemed to be more intellectual, but there is not much power; for power comes only from the Psychic. I was rather surprised to hear that from him as I thought Power, Peace, vastness, etc., come from the spiritual consciousness from above...

Power can be everywhere, on any plane. What descends from above is power of the higher Consciousness – but there is a Power of the vital, mental, physical planes also. Power is not a special characteristic of the psychic or of the spiritual plane.
