Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

October 4, 1933

I cannot deny that along with my urge for acquiring a fine style etc., there is hiding some desire for fame as a good writer which, however, one can reject, at least one can hope to.

Better not force the inspiration. You have some literary gift and can let it grow – but no desire for fame, if you please.
