Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

Guru,

At last C has dared to ask for August Darshan permission. Do you dare to permit him?

Mother considers it wiser for him to abstain. She says “Better not.”

For S, ... I can’t increase his evening meal yet. My idea is to build up gradually the diet so that the system may be accustomed and strengthened at the same time. No use upsetting the stomach, liver, etc. – what?

I suppose so. Don’t understand the ways of a fallen stomach sounds too much like a fallen angel – but S is not that, (no angel, that is to say) whatever his stomach may be.

A has gall bladder trouble and I suspect congestion of right kidney too ... We have to give bile salts, moderate dose of salts ...

Mother says to be careful about salts, as they often help formation of stones.
