Sri Aurobindo
Letters of Sri Aurobindo
Volume 1
I was overjoyed to read your letter – first because it relieved me from the anxiety which your persistent trouble had given and, most because of the clarity of consciousness which has 
liberated you. Yes, that was the main difficulty – that and the clinging to wrong ideas which it had created. You should never doubt about the reality and sincerity of our feeling towards you, mine and the Mother’s – for it creates a veil and separates, where there should be no separation, and it is a first barrier against that openness which is necessary if one is to receive fully or even at all from the Guru. Of course, I say that something had blinded you and was keeping you unconscious of the source of the trouble, but there was needed a certain clarity of the soul to remove it. Now that it has come, I trust that it will keep the mind clear and free the ways of the spirit.
The bhakta-poet in you has always been thoroughly sincere; there there is no cloud of the vital ego.
