Evening

There was talk again about the Baron-Schomberg affair; it was said that it was Schomberg who had made all the mischief.

Purani: Ali has heard from somebody that you have remarked about his progress since Darshan.

Sri Aurobindo: When did I say that?

Purani: That was what I was wondering about. I told him that you might have said you had been pleased with him or something like that. Alys said, “Sri Aurobindo doesn’t say anything about me! Every time it is Ah and Ali. He doesn’t find me good, perhaps!” (Laughter) I consoled her.

Sri Aurobindo: You could have said that it goes without saying in her case.
