Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

March 10, 1933

Should one write about everything? Or according to the need of each?

Only those who feel the need, write their experiences or condition daily to the Mother. Even so, they need not write the same things daily, but only what they feel the necessity to write.

Is there any difference between doing meditation in a sitting position and doing it while walking? I feel that while walking, it is not possible to get the same amount of concentration as in the other – for beginners, at least.

It is as each finds convenient. Some meditate better walking, some sitting.

I suppose meditation while walking is more likely to be a prayer than meditation proper.

Not at all. One can meditate very well when walking.

Do I profit, Mother, by simply looking at you or your photograph?

Yes, very many do.

I want to know whether I am pursuing the right line.

Yes.
