Sri Aurobindo — Roy, Dilip Kumar

January 20, 1937

Well, you know what is my view about Cape Cormorin, and the Mother’s is the same. It is not that something opposite to what you pray for is granted you, but that something opposite to the aspiration rises and creates an old opposite movement of the nature. It is no use finding fault with the nature for that – I mean, the personal nature because it happens to everybody. The only thing to do is to realise and understand what is happening and refuse to identify yourself with the movement or accept it as your own – to push it always away until it feels that it is disowned and can come no more. Cape Cormorin won’t do that – not even a whole fortnight of CC.
