Sri Aurobindo — Sahana Devi

April 25, 1932

If Mridu has no ear or possibility of it. it is no use teaching her; she can always sing for herself as she has been doing.

You can certainly postpone your sitar and your singing lessons. It will be quite enough for the present if you do as you say with regard to the singing.

You sang very beautifully on the 24th and what people say to you is quite correct; but it was because you were not thinking of playing well so to impress others and were absorbed in your own sincere feeling and sang out of it, that it was so good.
