Sri Aurobindo — Sahana Devi

August 29, 1936

Certainly, you should not force yourself to do what you do not feel. It is better then to leave things to develop of themselves to the point at which all this turmoil can be forgot.

I will only say, to remove a misapprehension in your letter, that X – when he said that he had not spoken anything against you to anyone was speaking of the sadhaks – I was not included in the anyone. But to me also he made no complaint of your having «interfered» –what I wrote was my own independent judgment of what had happened in this particular affair of the Y’s visit and the soiree. All that is of the past and can be left behind. I only wanted to know what was your own preference for the future.
