Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

August 8, 1937

“New centuries open their eyes...” You won’t agree, perhaps, that centuries have eyes?

I agree to everything and anything – let them have ears also. When one can write like that, all objections vanish.

“Appear to me” doesn’t appear very pretty.

No it isn’t pretty – it is first-class.

... Well, anything to say?

I have said it. Why the hell can’t you always write like that? The inspiration came clean through this time.

Z has no fever. I think he should take Chyavanprash; but it is a costly drug, we can’t supply much. I wonder if he has friends to help him with some money.

I believe he has some thousands of rupees stored up with which he is maintaining his populous family in Bhavnagar, (those who have not been able to push themselves in here owing to our stubborn and inhuman or superhuman resistance). But he doesn’t want to acknowledge its existence.
