Sri Aurobindo — Roy, Dilip Kumar

March 11, 1943

I am hard at work (filling up the gap and annotating, etc.) with your talk. I find one gap which if you will please fill up, I will be grateful. You told me (remember?), ‘Thaven’t had the experience of levitation itself but the experience I had could not have been true if there was no levitation.” (I distinctly remembered this as I put it down on paper at 4 p.m. on the 4th.) Could you kindly tell me what the experience was if, that is, it is tellable. I remember Purani once told me that it was at Alipur you found your being in equilibrium from a tilted angle. Is that it?

There were other things but not at present tellable! You can put it like this, “I take levitation as an acceptable idea, because I have had myself experience of the natural energies which if developed would bring it about and also physical experiences which would not have been possible if the principle of levitation were untrue.”
