Sri Aurobindo — Roy, Dilip Kumar

Undated

Janak Kumari,

I have already written to Dilip my advice and instructions as to what you should do in the matter of this yogi and his pressure upon you. But I am writing to you both to confirm what I have written to him and to add one or two words which are necessary to complete what I have said.

What is especially important for you is to dismiss fear from your mind. In these occult workings fear is a great drawback and handicap; it gives strength to the attack and weakens your resistance. Have faith in the help of the Divine and your ultimate deliverance and throw away fear whenever it tries to come. If you do that you will become stronger and be more able to endure till there is victory.

The physical pain and suffering inflicted by him is hard to bear, but you must try to remain firm in spite of it until his power to touch you diminishes and comes to nothing. Be courageous and push the obsession of him away from you; it is through the nervous being and some pressure of his force upon it which he has been able to establish that he makes you suffer. Try to be calm and steady there; then it will be easier to remain firm and overcome.

Be sure that the Mother’s help and mine will be always with you. Call for it whenever you need it.
