Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

September 26, 1936

In my poem, Amal says “dim” and “dream” are too common. He can’t get any alternative. I am sure you have one up your sleeve, what?

My sleeve is empty.

Please enjoy our poet H’s sarcasm against “Aurobindo and his best disciples” in Agragati [a Bengali journal].

It is rather in H’s silliest style.

And what about our Indian Hitler’s [S.T.] great mission to save young brains of India by sending all Asrams to perdition?

If he would save his own young brain first from the evident disposition towards softening his ambition betrays, it would be more useful. It is S.T. himself or a fellow sheep of the modernist flock?
