Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

September 30, 1936

[The first two medical reports were written by Dr. Becharlal.]

Yesterday noon S got temperature – 101.8 °...

What is the nature or cause of this fever?

... She wants to take curd thrice a day. I have asked her to take milk as long as the fever lasts – she says she doesn’t like milk and it gives a pain in the stomach. Hence without Mother’s approval, curd is not desirable in her present state.

I believe milk does not agree with her, she finds it difficult to digest. What then is she to eat? You must settle this and give word to D.R.

... By the way, please make a rule henceforth not to accept sadhaks before they pass a medical exam. don’t you realise, Sir, what potential troubles are ahead with so many invalids?

You are quite right with a million times a million rightness.

No time for comments on rest. Too many urgent calls from R.
