Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

October 22, 1938

Ah, here am I again! You had three days’ respite, no more, Sir! Now you will have to scratch your head to find the right words and expressions!

I don’t need to scratch my head – I have only to look at it from above and the words bubble up of themselves – at once or after a time. When they don’t, all the scratching in the world is of no avail.

I don’t expect anything great here, for the head is dry, mind is weary and the soul languorous, so?

Well, it isn’t either dry or weary or languorous.
