How is it, Sir, you had no remarks at all for my poor poem? No lines1 either!
Probably was too much in a hurry for remarks or linings.
What about today’s poem?
Quite up to the mark.
I am surprised to hear that the beautiful child in my dream, was my higher being. Why did he go away with his mother if he is my being?
He has no other mother than the Mother, so if the Mother accepts him, what is there to lament over?
... Could you be a little more generous in your explanation so that I may put in some more vigour to find him in reality? And why does it make you glad simply because I have found him in my dream?
What is once found in the inner being is likely to be found in the outer consciousness – that is why.
