Sri Aurobindo
Letters of Sri Aurobindo
Volume 4
I have wired to Esha, “Can’t refuse you, coming positively.” Mother graciously gave her a flower which I sent with Sotuda1. So I am going to Calcutta for a month or so. I will be glad if you will give me some force which will enable me to be of some service to you. Dakshina was telling me of one Soshibhushan: he has told Mother about it. He will invite him to a musical party there. Some force from you, what? Soshibhushan is a very rich man.
Captain S.N. Chaudhuri (the brother of the barrister who was my guest this week) has invited me to stay with him a few days atTambaram on the way to Madras. My barrister friend assured me it is a lovely house with a swimming pool and what not and his brother a big Railway Official – all comforts, etc. So I wonder if I may go and spend a week with him early next month say from the 2nd till 8th. Tambaram is a very healthy place and dry and open, etc. I have been of late feeling a little out of sorts as you know – bad appetite, bad sleep and a general feeling of weakness and lethargy without any cause (yesterday, I felt particularly weak, today I am better).
Am reading five to six hours your Psychology of Social Development and Chandi, etc. (religious books only) but can’t sit down to music or poetry. I don’t know why. For quite a long time I have been working fairly hard and steadily. If I have to go to Calcutta I must improve my health and energy. So what do you think of the invitation of Chaudhuri? Why not try a little swimming for a week and dry air? They have been very eager to have me there it seems. Captain Chaudhuri has written twice to me. Shall I go then for a week – just for a change, let us say?
Yes, certainly. I hope it will make you O.K.
