Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

September 7, 1937

I don’t think S’s ailment is curable. They say that the liver can regenerate. But what about atony of stomach?

If it can regenerate, how do you say it is incurable?

Well, what about it?

He says thai you have asked him to continue treatment – treatment which is of no use? Every day must I hear his long-drawn, ghastly, tragic tales and sit tight and deaf? He says it gloriously – Faith etc. is natural with him. Um! I hope the Force can do something.

I have told him that if he wants to be cured by Force, he must give up all quarrelling, cantankerousness, rancour, complaining, etc., etc., because it is these things that have dried up his liver and debased his stomach – also that agitation and howling stop the Force.

... Anyway, given him Liver pills today.

That’s the Liver Extract?
