Sri Aurobindo — Sahana Devi

April 22, 1935

The hold of sleep is natural after so long a spell of sleeplessness – it usually happens, the body takes back the arrears of sleep due to it. When you fully resume work, take care not to overdo it. In many I have seen the vital feels full of energy and then they tax the body too much with the result of overstrain afterwards. It is only when the body itself is changed and has the direct energy from above that one can do it safely.
