Correspondence with Sri Aurobindo

The Complete Set

Last night while I was concentrating tying in bed I entered into a half-wakeful state which made me a little afraid. I tried to fall asleep but the state of concentration would not leave me. At last sleep came. Is this an intermediate stage?

Yes. I don't know why you should have any fear! It is a quite usual experience of the concentrated state when one is going inside.

As the meditation deepens, a sense of pressure is felt on the head. I don't suppose it is anything abnormal?

It is on the contrary the most normal thing everybody feels at a certain initial stage

I hear that one can pray for a friend and write to you about him.

Yes; but don't do it for people who have not the turn for Yoga. Each has his own movement – his own time in this life or another.
