Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

April 5, 1937

Have you observed that the bodies of sadhaks and sadhikas have become abnormally sensitive? Even a small dose of medicine produces reactions. Good or bad?

It shows a more sensitive body consciousness – good, if it becomes more sensitive also to the Force.

Last evening’s curry of potato and tomato didn’t keep well, I am afraid. I took it at about 8.30 p.m. and found a bad smell.

Mother tasted it just after meditation – it was then very good still. But tomatoes can’t be kept too long, especially in this hot weather – unless it is very carefully done. Up to 8.30 was probably too long and it must have turned.
