Sri Aurobindo — Roy, Dilip Kumar

August 1936

(...) I quite agree about the language. It is an exquisitely beautiful translation.

Yes, keep the literature valve open. As to the 15th, well, it has its advantages, but also its disadvantages. Among the latter is the afflux of people full of the consciousness of the outside world – bringing an oppressive weight of dullness and ordinariness into the atmosphere – also as the adverse forces know that something is to be attempted at this period they become active to stop it. Don’t lay too much stress on the 15th which is after all more a general than a personal occasion – for the individual any day in the year may be the 15th – that is the birthday or a birthday of something in the inner being. It is with that feeling that one should do the sadhana.
