Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

August 26, 1937

“... Breaking all crag-teeth distances

Of the dark abysmal dominion.”

Sir, this “crag-teeth” is a too obvious theft¹.

Y is not pleased with Jatin staying with me. She says because I wanted him to stay with me you agreed... Is it true that you have acceded to my desire?

No. But even if it had been a desire, what objection? To want to put up a friend in one’s room is not a crime. For my part, I am glad to have him there and think it is good for him and you.

... Please give Y some Peace and Protection.

She must be ready to receive it – i.e. she must take and keep the right attitude.

Jatin wants to know if you will write anything more to him.

Yes.
