Sri Aurobindo — Sahana Devi

September 4, 1932

You did nothing wrong and there is no displeasure.

About Mridu we did not reply because we had come to no decision.

About the cheese we replied to L and thought the matter was settled. You can give it to her.

About the tea for A we did not reply because here too it was difficult to decide. Tea is bad for her, but if she got restless for want of it (owing to habit) that also would not be good. If, however, she had decided against it, so much the better.

So you see you were worrying yourself for nothing. Why should you suppose that silence meant displeasure?

P.S. Mother only wants one pot of the jelly, for the rest you can do as you like. One pot lasts for a year. She will speak to Sarala about the ointment.

As to your feeling at a distance, it must be because there was some vital mixture in your movement to get out of the former house. Otherwise, it is on the inward condition that it depends and not on a slightly greater physical distance.
