Sri Aurobindo

Letters of Sri Aurobindo

SABCL 26

Fragment ID: 8030

Q: I had read your “Essays on the Gita” thrice before, still when I started reading it again recently I found that there were so many ideas in it which I had missed before. I think if I read it over and over again I would find newer and newer ideas every time.

A: That is a common experience – most books with any profundity of knowledge in them have that effect. Almost all spiritual problems have been briefly but deeply dealt with in the Gita and I have tried to bring out all that fully in the Essays.
