Sri Aurobindo — Sahana Devi

November 26, 1931

There is no need to ask to try to find out whether the Mother forgives you. You wrote a strangely foolish letter, but as you saw your mistake and corrected it, we consider it as cancelled. The Mother had not the least idea of withholding forgiveness or of punishing you, as you mistakenly suggested in this morning’s letter.

At the same time you must be careful not to allow these blind and irrational movements from the subconscient vital to take hold of you and cloud your mind. You have had an instance of what they can make you do and how much they can disturb the sadhana; it should put you on your guard for the future.
