Sri Aurobindo — Patel, Govindbhai

April 25, 1932

April 25, 1932

Should my attitude towards the world be only to remain detached from it? Is there no positive side to it?

That (detachment) is the basis: detachment with a quiet goodwill not disturbed by what they seem to be or do.

That is a necessary element. What is positive, should come through union with the Divine, not in a separate relation to others.
