Sri Aurobindo — Sahana Devi

April 27, 1935

You must do as you feel. If you get the impulse to go or to say anything, we shall not disapprove. There is evidently a Force that is trying to drive D away and he is unable to see what it is but thinks it is his own movement. It has been driving him to write letters to me that are more and more challenging and full of doubts and reproaches. I was obliged to point out that what he said about us was built on wrong interpretations and inferences and this seems to have offended and hurt him. Also he asked what he had to do and I told him, but he wrote as if he did not like and could not accept what I said and moreover put a wrong interpretation as if I had told him he was unfit for Yoga; so I said he could throw what I wrote to him in to the wastepaper basket, i.e., treat it as if of no importance. This also upset him greatly. I explained why I wrote in that way, not because I was angry but to stop these wrong ideas of his; he has not made any reply. This is just by way of explanation.
