Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

July 28, 1937

Old man is done?

How done? How am I to know if he is done or undone (by the young woman?)? He is in Calcutta.

What’s this, really? J had eczema and now asthma! Is there any truth in the popular belief that when eczema disappears, asthma appears? Homeopathic theory, they say.

Never heard of it. The eczema of any number of people disappears without their getting asthma. It is the weather and a certain susceptibility in her physical to these things – no need for all these out of the way theories.

S – pain, burning “normal”, i.e. you understand, I hope, this means normal pain.

Yes, of course. It is the patient who is abnormal.
