Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

September 27, 1938

“... For thy immutable silences abide

Like vast glaciers behind my body’s door.”

A vast glacier behind a door seems rather impossible. But frozen snow behind a door would convict the housekeeper of negligence.

The doctor in place of Valle asked me about vaccination. I replied that we had done it already last year. He said that there might be a few new-comers who might not have been vaccinated. I think we can say “no” about the inmates, and about workers, they can be done at their own place.

[The Mother marked the last sentence with a vertical line.]

[The Mother:] This is right.

I do not think we have new workmen since last vaccination. If required, we have the letter written by Valle and signed by Gaffiero thanking for the help we gave for vaccination.
