Sri Aurobindo — Roy, Dilip Kumar

December 7, 1936

Please see this: I hope you will in the circumstances approve of Bangalore. I have been preparing a dozen songs which can’t be done in a day – and to risk the journey for a day is not worth while anyhow. Besides the climate of Bangalore is magnificent as you know – one can sing there much more without strain because of its proverbial bracing bove sea-level and crisp. Causes little fatigue. I used)nature – being 2000 feet a to sing there for hours without the least fatigue. I am sorry to trouble you – but you will understand my eagerness to make it a success since you have allowed a journey outside after all. There one can be incognito in a hotel – I do think. I prefer hotel to a private house for this. Dhurjati’s letter too. Very cheering. How the sceptic fellow had been hiding his godliness behind his atheistic bushel? I dreamed yesterday Subhash requesting me to return and I asked him to forgive me as I belonged now entirely to the Divine. Woke up in some joy. So I hope my godliness will survive Bangalore, what?

I suppose under the circumstances you will have to go to Bangalore.

Certainly at first sight one does not expect a sceptic to go Marathoning like that on the road of Yoga. But it often happens, perhaps because he has done the scepticism in so thoroughly as to exhaust that obstacle effectively.
