You relieve me! I was thinking if poetry could be the parent of i.m., what it would do to you and Dilip and Nishikanta.Sri Aurobindo

I am sending you a few snaps – some samples of your supramental yogis. Isn’t Dilipda splendid in a standing posture?
Superb!
What about his deep intellectual look in the sitting one?
Admirable!
And my noble self seems to be coming out of the grave or going there probably?
Asking where will be the end of this প্রনান্ত লীলা1
My supramental forehead is merging with the Infinite, what?
Yes, dominating scornfully from there the pigmy universe.
Lastly, the Asram photos are very fine.
Very well done.
I give you a rare occasion for laughter. Please do laugh loud and share it with us!
No time to laugh! Can only smile.
As the cause of J’s irregular menses it is not poetry I said, but the physical and mental strain. Coming here running with the poem, going back to meditation, then copying hurriedly the poem, then meal, etc. Going on thus day after day. Not enough to cause strain? No, not parent, it has become the issue!
You relieve me! I was thinking if poetry could be the parent of i.m., what it would do to you and Dilip and Nishikanta.
1 pranānta līlā: unending play.
