Sri Aurobindo
Letters of Sri Aurobindo
Volume 2. 1934 — 1935
I am sending you the translation corrected – not too indecipherable I hope. It is rather the expression than the rhythm that was insufficient in your version. As it is now, I think it might be made the basis for the French version, so that a prose translation would not be necessary.
I don’t think there is anything you could write or anybody write that would shock me, so that need not trouble you. Of course you are right about the lies, there are of all sorts, and also about all men being durāchār [wicked, of ill-conduct] only some are virtuous durāchārs, some sinful ones and some a mixed lot! I don’t mean to deny that there are Harischandras and Shukadevas here and there, but one has to take a microscope or a telescope or anything else handy to find them. But enough! Sufficient [unlit?] the night is the cynicism thereof!
Your dreams are of a very familiar kind, both coming often 
to sadhaks. The first is a sort of formation on the vital plane or a possibility for the future – whether or how it will come about in the physical is a different matter. The other is an excursion into the vital world where there are all the types and forms of things that happen here, and having its own region or province there. One is constantly going into these planes (and others also mental and psychic and subtle physical also as well as vital) and seeing and doing things there. Very often what one does and experiences there is a symbol of things in the nature, tendencies, achievements, difficulties, things hidden within or only half seen on the surface. This one came clearly to show how far you have travelled from certain elements, tendencies or possibilities that were there in the past. The feeling in the dream was the sign of that progress.
