Saurin has written nothing, at least I have received nothing – so it is no use passing a judgment. Of course the argument that one can claim back one’s gifts because one has been unable to give oneself along with them cannot stand. Given is given. But in this case Mother has returned the gift for special reasons connected with Maya’s position, not on any psychological grounds, so there is no need to look farther. Maya herself knows what these reasons are.

P.S. A magnificent poem this one, one of your very best! At once powerful and beautiful. I am sorry I could not attend to Raihana tonight also. Tomorrow night I hope will be more quiet and I shall do it.
