Sri Aurobindo — Unknown addressee

April 10, 1934

In reference to what Prof. Sorley has written on The Riddle of this World, the book, of course, was not meant as a full or direct statement of my thought and, as it was written to sadhaks mostly, many things were taken for granted there. Most of the major ideas – e.g. overmind – were left without elucidation. To make the ideas implied clear to the intellect, they must be put with precision in an intellectual form – so far as that is possible with supra-intellectual things. What is written in the book can be clear to those who have gone far enough in experience, but for most it can only be suggestive.
