Sri Aurobindo — Kamala Amin

August 7, 1933

Mother,

This drawing is copied from a Japanese picture. After finishing the picture, when I looked at it, I was astonished at how I could do it.

I never did any drawing in my school days, I even used to go away home every time there was a drawing class. But here, with Thy Grace how much I can do!

I remember a sloka which my father used to chant when I was young. The meaning of this sloka is as follows: Mother, with Thy Grace or with Thy Touch, the blind can see and the lame can cross the mountain.

How do you find the drawing today?

It is really well done. Mother finds you are making good progress.

Sri Aurobindo
