Letters of Sri Aurobindo

CWSA 35

Fragment ID: 8494

(this fragment is largest or earliest found passage)

Sri Aurobindo — Unknown addressee

March 7, 1937

Ramana Maharshi [9]

Sundays are no better than other days. A number of people always choose it for long letters demanding replies. But apart from that to write what you demand of me would mean a volume, not a letter – especially as these are matters of which people know a great deal less than nothing and would either understand nothing or misunderstand everything. Some day I suppose I shall write something, but the supramental won’t bear talking of now. Something about the spiritual transformation might be possible and I may finish the letter on that point1 – if I find leisure, but that is doubtful.

7 March 1937

 

1 The “letter” referred to here is presumably the one on pages 173 – 75, which Sri Aurobindo wrote below the date 6 March 1937. He apparently had not finished writing it when he wrote this note dated (Sunday) 7 March 1937. – Ed.
