Sri Aurobindo

Letters of Sri Aurobindo

SABCL 26

Fragment ID: 7549

“Diligent, serious, etc.” – this valuation of Sri Aurobindo’s qualities was not the Maharaja’s. He gave him a certificate for ability and intelligence but also for lack of punctuality and regularity. If instead of “diligent and serious” and “a career of meritorious service” it were said that he was brilliant and quick and efficient in work, it would be more accurate. The description, as it is, gives an incorrect picture.
