Correspondence with Sri Aurobindo

The Complete Set

N is slightly better. I came to know he had been taking a lot of mangoes. Won't it be better to tell him to rigorously keep to the Ashram diet for the sake of his health?

If he wants to be healthy and last, he must certainly be careful about his diet. It is extremely important at his age.

My cold has given me the quick realisation that everything in this world – including the Divine – is Maya. What Shankara and Buddha realised by sadhana, I realise by a simple cold!

No need of sadhana for that – anybody with a fit of the blues can manage that. It is to get out of the Maya that sadhana is needed.
